A couple of additions more:
Unrequited yuri crush in Sailor Nothing (and a yuri relationship mentioned at the end)
Eventual yuri relationship between two main characters in the second book of Anachronauts, Forsaken Shores.

Ans since I'm on my Stefan Gagne trip already, also Arcade Spirits to the VN section.

^Sorry, my misspelling, correctly Sasazuka in 24, but Sasazuki on page 3 of 30.

Yeah, Himari, there's no way your love is "different" when you ask her to sing you love songs every day, especially when they make you feel like that...

^While you're at it, maybe check Subaru's last name on page 3 as well, it was Sazasuka in chapter 24.

I mean it could be platonic. But I just think that the fact that we see Konatsu’s jealousy is a sign that she values Honami more than we may have originally thought.

Based just on the first pages of this thread, I think you underestimate what we may have originally thought. ;)

Getting a better grade is considered acting strangely now... :D Although to be fair, we are talking about the same Adachi who rarely came to the actual classroom before.

Hmm... Does that story about Shima's past count as her first love, even if she didn't realize it herself, seeing how she wanted to be seen as shiny as well?

Shimamura sure is doing all she can to convince herself that they're just friends. :D It's not just forcing herself to ignore the possibility of Adachi having feelings for her, either; her own thoughts about Adachi stray to places one would not go with only friendly feelings, especially playing with her lips, for example.

Also, note to the people working on this - you forgot to update the table of contents again.

Edit: Were those single-panel pages meant to come after each chapter? It kinda doesn't make sense seeing them alone.

Yes.

No, so was Senri. ;)

Do you usually go out of your way to twist the knife and rub salt into the wounds like Nene repeatedly does to Amane... you know, between friends?

No, and neither does Nene. They got even along quite nicely on the beach, for example. Nene only pushes Amane away when she gets too clingy, otherwise doing her best to still be a good, even best friend as Amane wished when they broke up. There's no repeated "twisting the knife and rubbing salt into the wounds" - the harsh refusal of a kiss doesn't come anywhere close to this, only the date with Kou can really be considered cruel enough for that.

You get a mess-up!
You get a mess-up!
EVERYONE GETS A MESS-UP!

Expect Sensei so far.

I'm not too sure about her either after the last two panels here and how well she gets along with Hayama.

Also just saying but when it comes down to it making a clean hard break to an unwanted relationship is altogether less cruel than leaving the admirer hopelessly pining in ambiguous uncertainty. (That coworker I mentioned? I'd already turned her down earlier but stayed on terms as I didn't have anything against her as such and, well, coworkers; the hard break became an unpleasant necessity once it became clear she was still hanging on to vain hopes which was as tiresome to me as it presumably was emotionally taxing for her.)

So not an immediate hard break but rather a very similar situation to Nene's. It's harder to really cut off someone you see day by day in school and already have had a relationship with, though, so that may explain Nene's more extreme means to achieve this.

And it's also weird for me to see so many people treat mere irritating clinginess as some kind of justification for flagrant emotional cruelty.

Clinginess, no. Nene only decided to strictly draw a line once Amane started asking for more, before that she only reminded her (and everyone who asked them) that they were just friends, nothing more.

Bullshit. If Nene just wanted to get Amane off her case flat out stonewalling her and cutting contact should do the trick. (I've personally done that with a tiresomely admiring coworker, for the record.) Instead she basically strings her along and -pay attention because this is the key point- goes out of her way to be hurtful and nasty knowing full well the other party is still blindly smitten enough to just meekly take it.

That's behaviour neither acceptable nor excusable but certainly an extremely effective narrative tool for making Nene look like an utter cuntbucket. Too effective, probably, if the audience is supposed to start viewing her in a more positive light somewhere down the road...

Seeing how she was OK with still being friends with Amane, that would not work, though, and would be just as needlessly cruel in any case. And it's also weird for me to see so many people treat Nene as if she'd been constantly abusing Amane after breaking up, when she only reacted harshly for the first time when Amane asked for a kiss - which was clearly not OK - and for the second time now with the (admittedly quite cruel) showing off of her date to make Amane give up on trying to get back together again. Maybe not the best way to do this, but certainly effective, and we can't say Amane is totally innocent here with the way she's still trying to pursue Nene after repeatedly being told no.

Oh no, she doing it intentionaly. Author wanted to show that she clearly pressed Kou into relationships knowing that Kou is too soft to refuse. And then she selfishly continued using Kou softness for her plan to hurt Amane so much than she cannot be around them anymore. And she don’t care what Kou wants because she never talk to her about it or ask her “Is it ok?”

Might be reading too much into this, really...

In any case, without knowing the reasons for Nene's behavior it's hard to say much. I still suspect there's some outside force at play that has convinced Nene that them breaking up is what's best for Amane, but we can only wait for the eventual reveal to find out what really is going on there.

Seems to be very much the theme for this one, though. At least every couple's story has its unique sides to it, though, especially with these two graduating and moving apart for now and only having limited time together from now on.

^Well, the two have been slowly getting closer and they are still planning to spend time together even after getting into separate (but close) schools, so it still is the most likely development for Hinako's story.

That last panel makes me certain that Neeko has sworn off doing this kind of thing anymore.

She learned her lesson, yeah. Painfully, as usual in such cases.

^I'd say it's actually less about her family and more about Tomoko herself becoming utterly deplorable for a while, especially when she started deceiving her only existing friends and pretended a random schoolmate was her boyfriend, which really lowered my opinion of the manga a lot, although it has been working hard to leave these dark times behind. Still, that part is a big reason why my rating for this manga will probably never rise back to where it was at its start.

Thanks a lot for the new update! Super Cute chapter! but with a surprise ending!

it's posible Yori may have pull the trigger to early but I admire her bravery and that she really didn't left room for error lol.
While I am sure by the end they will be together, what matter is how they get there so it will be interest how their different "loves" go from here.
Anyway I love Yori and I wish her the best cause I get the feeling that she may get rejected at first but we'll see.
anybody knows if it's already on par with raws or when new chapters get released?

Apparently this month's yuri hime didn't had any chapter so... We're all caught up!

I see! thank you! guess is waiting time now ^^;
something I am wondering is, probably the love song Yori is writing maybe the realization Kino needs, but would the song alone be enough for her to see Yori in a romantic light rather than the admiration love she has right now?

I guess it depends on the lyrics but mostly on how close to her ears she whisper the love song hehehe, I say she needs to be close enough to feel her lips on the neck, then it wouldn't matter if the song is good or not... it could even be Despacito

PS: In fact, all of you try to imagine that all this time, Senpai has been singing Despacito in the roof

I'd rather it be Explosivo

As amusing as these ideas are, I would honestly not mind her arriving at Hopelessly in the end.

^It did seem like a pretty nice idea until this chapter, not quite so sure now. Less due to Nene's own behavior, which, while almost but not quite Senpai-level cruel, could have been aimed at making Amane finally give up - and Nene doesn't know Senpai already showed Amane her photos, but due to Kou's comments at the end making it likelier we could still see Nene and Amane together at the end, no matter how impossible it has seemed until now. Nene and Kou, and Senpai and Amane could still be the least painful solution, but it also depends a lot on the many unknowns in this series, especially Nene's and Senpai's underlying motivations, which could change the game entirely.
