So what ?, it's less dark than that and her parents are really alive but just work a lot ?

Perhaps, the way it reads it kinda doesn't seem as ominous as it previously did.
And is it just me or did Hino's suggestion at least seem like it was more openly heartfelt than her advances usually are?

Also @Runrin/Cyan Steam... are you perhaps at least as excited to get those out as we are to read them?

More already? And such juicy bait at that?! What a great Sunday!

Best I would have hoped for would have been weekly (instead of bi-weekly) releases until we're caught up, getting two chapters in three days is almost too great a blessing. Don't overdo it ;D

BRUH.

Good read, fucked up twist. Love it.
As others said, tagging could be better, but I know that there are already new mechanisms in the works for that right now.

^ To be honest I had the exact same association when I first read the chapter...

What the hell, people. I also thought she was a guy at first, but the proper reaction to discovering she's not isn't "ew what the hell why is she drawn like a MAN" it's "oh, I guess I was wrong."

Some ladies are pretty masculine, by birth or choice, and that's OK.

This, it's honestly just the artstyle. It's simplified and sketchy and since she was drawn in a looser blazer waist up in the first two pages, her sex was ambiguous. I wouldn't go as far as saying this artist has a "this person draws yaoi all the time and can't draw two girls without it looking like two dudes" problem though.

Word²

is there a reason why lighthaired girl keeps closing and reopening? maybe shes a person who died there and her spirit frequents the place?

That's basically just a bit more of a morbid take on the manga's own theory that she might be a Zashiki-Warashi, which would roughly be a home's/house's guardian spirit.

"I won't show any more openings!"
It was clear from the start that Ume would find enough "openings" to work with either way...

"Bunny Café"

Well, not what I expected, but that's actually even better!

I totally squee'd while reading this chapter. It's so good that they're back. Time for another re-read!

Guys. I'm absolutely thrilled to let you know that we (cyan steam) have officially picked this up. My favorite girls Hino and Kogu are back!

Love you all! <3

You're friggin heroes to me! Taking over the torch from Yuri Ichigo, I'm sad to see that they stopped/dropped it, but I'm just as happy to see you taking it over.

This is just an excuse for the author having an elbow glove fetish.

We do need more of that either way, so yes please.

Touchdown, we have touchdown!

Cute.

I feel almost bad for Hinoka, since Tsukushi has no idea that they're already a couple.

Girl. You can't come during sex because your bf suck at it

I wanted to say "or maybe she's lesbian and can only come with girls" but... I don't want to be accused of hating on bisexuals... >_<

It's a possibility, but seeing as she's gotten herself a BF and seems to care about him, it doesn't seem to be the most likely explanation. I think it's just far more likely that he just sucks at it — lack of self-control in bed, lacking empathy, incapable of properly reading her body language, too focused on penetration and forgetting about "the important stuff", the list goes on. There's so many things us guys just can't know first hand...

OMG IT'S BACK! WOOHOOOOO!

I'm gonna have to re-read it, though, wasn't quite sure where exactly we are at in the story anymore when I read the new chapter. Loved that chapter, though.

@official release vs scan release
Yeah... I'm not convinced that the official TL will be able to hold a candle to the SAD one.

72 pages, quite the massive chapter.
I enjoyed every bit of it and now I am curious to see where the journey goes. Will it retain this feeling of greatness and vastness it imparted to me or will it become too slice-of-life-y?

She's so terrible, which is why this manga is so delicious.

only slept for eight hours

first world problems galore

the people complaining about this don't read tags I guess, just block the Bisexual tag (╥﹏╥)

Not wanted to be the party pooper here but isn't this considered netorare or one their subtags?

not necessarily because once the guy finds out he doesn't mind it ¯_༼ •́ ͜ʖ •̀ ༽_/¯

But isn't it still NTR, even if he's on board with it? Not judging, just clearing the semantics.

Also:

bruh

most appropriate reaction to the comments section :D

Once again, I've proven myself to be a big dum-dum for waiting this long to get on board of something great.

Hey, at least it's only been three days, glad to have you on board!

"Sorry to spring this on you... but my best friend has huge boobs."
...
I would never have noticed! /s

We're reaching Gay Panic levels that shouldn't be possible! They're so precious.

Twintails go!

God I love Knight Heron credit pages.

Several people here have mentioned how this has got citrus vibes. I never read citrus but what things in common with citrus do you notice (i.e., the vibes the two share in common)? If it’s the sexually manipulative(?) Reiko, then I might sit out on this series. While I enjoy all kinds of yuri stories, my preference lies with wholesome romances, and this is basically as far away from that as possible.

I've only watched Citrus' anime adaptation, but it's pretty clear that there are some parallels. Both series have a gyaru and a prim and proper official (StuCo-President in Citrus, Public Morals Committee in Chasing Spica) as their leads, both Gyaru are actually rather motivated and high-performing and mainly use it as self-expression, both prim and proper officials (seem to?) have... issues regarding sexual incidents/activities in their private life, they clash pretty hard and are pretty much a "designated couple".

Edit: Oh, I wouldn't be surprised if "wholesome" is what we get by the end of the story, but you can be sure that it'll be a hot mess of high octane drama before that.

she wants u instead ;)

Yeah, pages 3 and 4 make that pretty clear I think :D
Now how long you reckon it'll take for them to realize that things could be so every easy for them?

Also: that credits page is maybe just a little oversized at 3464x3464 px

i thought she was going to lick her leg, you know, because she's always saying she wants to lick her
and the ice cream, you know... on her leg...

i need to control my leg fetish

She totally did. That's my (headcanon) story and I'm sticking to it.
