Oh man, so that’s where the translation leaves off on. A but of a cliffhanger, but better that than the even worse cliffhanger it was on for 6 years.

And I gotta say, I’m a total sucker for stories about people figuring out their sexuality, especially when it’s out of high school. Generally that shows up as a drama, and this is more of a comedy manga, but it’s still a lot of fun.

Dropped everything the second I saw this updated. Can't believe the maid doesn't approve, truly horrible...

Interesting setup, but I'm gonna have to wait to say if it's any good yet. We'll have to see what Hibiki's actually thinking first. Interiority, that's the key.

Felt a bit quick, but I thought it was really cute.

Had to go check, interesting to see that this one-shot got another translation. Well, I'm willing to read it again.

Oh thank you I was so confused. I still can’t find the original though, was it removed ro something?

I'm not sure if it was ever posted here, I read it on mangadex.

I always like this kind of short story collection where it's a bunch of different love stories taking place in the same general location.

And owner lady is right! Don't do it in the bath, other people are there too!

I adore this, you can just FEEL the sheer contempt they have for each other.

Rereading this, Aoi def comes off as polyam/practitioner of polyamory, but burnt out by her failures w women/"tying" a woman down to a more serious relationship (lots of lovers, but no partners, if that makes sense), and she ultimately caves to heteronormative monogamy.

It seems to me that Aoi is someone who keeps caving in to normality every time she fails romantically. Like, after she gave up on pursuing Kaede, she gave up on acting and went to get a "normal" job, and then after she failed in pursuing Nanami- well, you saw that chapter. She went "oh well, I guess I'll get married." It was more an admission of defeat than an actual desire to get married. And that's why she couldn't answer when Nanami asked if she was happy before the wedding. I love it, it's so beautifully tragic to me.

I think the idea of a character 'deserving' a certain ending is somewhat strange, since at the end of the day, they're not real. What I want from a story is a narratively satisfying ending, and that's what we got with Aoi.

Fantastic series! The main romance was fantastic, and the subplot with Aoi has produced some of my favorite moments I've ever seen in yuri manga. I love her. Gonna miss this series.

I'm freaking out over that cliffhanger. Absolutely amazing chapter, I love both of these MCs so dearly.
