I see nothing happened in here as usual. Dynasty is always the last to upload the new chapter.
called it on Yuu being top, but still would let Touko top if she wanted to

Now I do wonder if the rating of the final volume will be raised because of this turn of events...

PS: The cheesecake flag has been satisfied! 10/10 ending, dont need anything else.

I'm disinclined to invest overmuch effort in conversations the other party adamantly and gratuitously refuses to keep civil.

Then don't reply. lol
(Also I see what you did there and you're still not clever pff)

Ie. Touko and their relationship. But it does in no way automagically follow from her somewhat vague but distinctly erotically charged fantasizing the night before that she'd have full-on PG-18 wet dreams afterwards (I get the impression she's altogether too vague on the nitty-gritty of the whole business for her subconsciousness to have much to work with there anyway); "dream logic" is proverbial for a reason.

Cool.

But frankly I don't even care. That is mostly irrelevant to my point.

Didn't stop you from trying to cite it as evidence, which struck me as a tad far-fetched.

It did prove that the entire thing was not deeply ingrained into her psyche yet and thus could not have been so deeply on her mind.

Or equally just another hint that for all her relative maturity and level-headedness she's fundamentally a kid of, what, 15-16 with no real idea of how to actually go about any of this and all the due baggage of uncertainty and anxiety that comes with the whole shebang. Hell both of them are still second-guessing themselves about what the other wants and is cool with, what they themselves want, and how far they "should" go with the latter (and for that matter let their imaginations wander).

So you can actually look at this in a differentiated way rather than just claiming that she must have been thinking of doing sexual things for sure. Took you long enough. I'm glad I could convince you then.

Well see, that's the beauty of being a lesbian. Your parents don't realize that your "friend" is actually your lover. So you can be a little clingy, because you're friends, and girls are just like that with friends, right? You can sleep in the same bed, because oh gosh, such good friends! And of course, you get up to all kinds of shenanigans in your bedroom, especially after dark, and nobody would be the wiser, as long as you were careful to keep sounds to a minimum. :P

Oh definitely. I think by the time they find themselves hunched together things will be quite different. I'm just saying that at this point in time Yuu didn't think that far.
Now Touko the schemer on the other hand... If she doesn't at least prepare some romantic candles and puts on her best pajama/lingerie, I would be surprised.

You would think her dream following that would go in the same direction, but it was pretty innocent instead.

You do realise dreams don't even work like you seem to be assuming here right.

Oh? Is that the only thing you could cherrypick out of my reply?
Dreams are influenced by desires and memories of the previous day. What weighs on Yuu's mind would influence it. But frankly I don't even care. That is mostly irrelevant to my point.

Speaking of misconceptions about Yuu's desires though, someone said Yuu asked Touko to stay over at her place for the explicit reason to have sex, which is why she couldn't finish her line, but that makes no sense. She couldn't have known that Touko's parents wouldn't be home and visiting her girlfriend's home and having a sleepover are actually far more likely. Rather this is another point for Yuu still being innocent/naive, because she thinks it`s a big ask to demand to come to her senpai's place like that. Just another hint that she was thinking of a legit sleepover.

Aww cute, you're already doing your thing of getting all personal for no reason.

Trying to argue that previous (as in, previous evening's) fantasies of touching your GF's partially undressed body "do not necessarily connect to" abruptly canceling an image of intimate bedtime while wondering about the turns your mind has started taking, however, is rather patently and obviously absurd. Even if she has no real idea of what to do with, nevermind now how to go about realising, them it's fairly apparent Yuu has begun developing certain kinds of... urges... as even you should have noticed.

Please. Your passive-aggressiveness was plain to see and I have no intention of playing coy. You can't turn this on me.

Nope, you are misconstruing my argument as usual. She had a fantasy of "going further than kissing" the previous day. You would think her dream following that would go in the same direction, but it was pretty innocent instead. She stopped herself before even continuing down that line.
Her thought of what to do with the prize was a single panel of them sleeping next to each other. Notice Touko's indicatively closed eyes. Both of them dressed and hugging normally. She didn't cut off a "fantasy" there either, it was all she actually thought about. You are extrapolating things that are simply not shown. Hence why I said some people like projecting too much around here.

I have no doubts that Yuu is a horny teenager and that does in no way oppose my argument in any way. Guess not even you realized that~

Are you forgetting that was literally the morning after she'd had some clearly risqué fantasies about her SO, despite even BV so helpfully having reminded you of it...? No. Fucking. Way. Is she thinking of just chaste cuddle time there, though exactly what lies beyond that threshold seems to be something of uncharted territory she tries to avoid straying into.

Aww cute, you're doing your thing again. Not as clever as you think you are, as usual.
BV has not reminded me of anything, as that was already mentioned before and I was aware of it either way.
One thing does not necessarily connect to the other and you have little if any way to prove your claim.

Cuddle time or not, the point is that sleeping in the same bed is a big deal for Yuu on its own and that she thinks even that is taking things a little too far. Yuu is quite held back and afraid to overstep boundaries as even you should have noticed.

I daresay wherever exactly her mind now was wandering while wistfully running her fingers from her lips... down her neck... while imagining doing the same to a partially undressed Touko... before catching herself went a fair bit beyond "cuddling".

matsuri_wins was talking about the scene where Yuu was thinking of sleeping in the same bed with Touko. Can any of you keep up with this convo? lol

Sorry to burst your innocence bubble but Yuu was thinking about doing the deed on this scene lol

Evidence: lol trust me

When it comes to taking a rash, stupid decision like killing someone over their opinion on an anime, I ask to myself "would Bocchi be happy if I did that?". If the answer is no, then I don't do it.
So fear not, this forum is safe for people who didn't like the Bocchi anime.

Are you sure about that?

Bocchi: Only those willing to sacrifice people can be strong. strong face
Sotoka: Wa-ha-ha, onto the blood-sacrificial-altar~
Aru: Aru Aru Death Beaaaam!

Anime is serious business.

I hope that Fujishiro not feeling "otaku enough" isn't a sign of the story forgetting that she has already shown her commitment to Kurokawa by taking an interest in her hobby, like borrowing manga and DVD's...

Ultimately those are very surface things though. Compared to the real Otakus that makes her still just a "normie". Unusual for a girl like her? Certainly. But not enough to truly connect to those two. That is why she is worried that she did not do enough. Kurokawa heavily leaned into Fujishiro's hobbies and likes with the entire fashion stuff, but Fujishiro might feel like that's just what she wanted and that she has not done much in return.

^The gap effect, huh? Shy is fine, but you don't need glasses for that.

Yuu is very pure.

Pure gay
Pure lust

It's absurd to think that having sex is somehow impure. I guess eating would also be impure then. Might as well starve.

Jeeeeez. Way to overthink a commonly used phrase. When someone is naive or not very knowledgable about dirty things you call them pure.

I'm kinda late, but...

ahem

You certainly are, because that page was already mentioned. Read the whole convo first.

And she wouldn't call herself "naughty" in this chapter if all she wanted was cuddle, something pretty innocent, I think.

Actually yes, that is literally what happened. That's how you know she is still innocent. She considers that kind of forward thing "naughty".

It's a bit strange Yuu wanted to call Touko by her name in chapter 41 and indeed does it occasionally (when she isn't saying just "senpai") but keeps calling her Nanami-senpai in her mind. Gotta wonder if Nakatani has a reason for this or just sees it as something perfectly normal so far.

Yeah I asked the same thing last chapter. It's definitely an odd little detail. I wonderd if Yuu was not quite ready to accept that they are girlfriends yet, buuuut... I mean Yuu called Touko her girlfriend about 5 times this chapter I so I was wrong lol

Switches, the both of them.

And here I thought the joke was gonna be that she lacks energy because they did that all night. Instead she is a sex vampire.

Y'all are silly.

Likewise.

Um, did you even read the last two chapters?

https://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/bloom_into_you_ch43#4
That is literally the furthest Yuu imagined anything.

Yeah, imagining touching someone with her shirt open and her bra showing is pure enough. It would be degenerate if Touko had been fully naked.

Now actually proof to me that she was thinking of something lewd there. All she did is touch her throat (whatever that is about). She was imaginig something further than kissing there. Not exactly "Oh I wanna do this now".

"bittersweet" eh?

So yuri won't happen because mistakes are going to be made. And then, they graduated and ghosted each other.

Probably lots of drama and an open ending, like I wrote when chapter 0 came out.

Then again, she quite literally says she needs to confirm something in chapter 0. Which means she will not give up before it is cleared up. So even if it's not yuri, there should at least be a real conclusion.

Yuu's actually still pure. The worst she could imagine is sleeping in the same bed.
And Touko also didn't reveal her true thirst yet. Maybe the readers are projecting just a little. Of course nobody knows what will happen once they are alone in an empty appartment. All alone~
Touko the schemer strikes again.

On the other hand, Koyomi has another chance to get closer to Renma-sensei. I think everyone predicted the way it would happen. Whether we get to see it though is a different matter. Maybe in a special.

Now excuse me as I rob my local pharmacist for copious amounts of insulin!

What in the actual heck?
Well yeah, that would be the standard reaction, wouldn't it? That was basically sexual harrassment.

This girl has some odd impulses. Pretends to have a boyfriend, but that could just be to be popular. But if you think about it that could also be because she's gay. Which is not a popular thing to be (hence the "that isnt the real me!" denial), so she might be suppressing it, but when seeing how girly/cute Koshiba was despite her appearance she might have lost her reason.

In general the art is good and I thought most of the chapter was interesting already without the sudden spike at the end. Talk about a hook tho.

ARGH! I've been poisoned! Yuu is a criminal.... too much.... sugar...!

^Good thing she doesn't wear those glasses while she is badass then.

^My fav poke is Wooloo. What now?

Honestly, if the author had forced a sudden confession in there it would have felt cheap and unbelievable. The manga has been building them up steadily, but they just weren't there yet. I think this open ending kept the integrity of the author's style.

There were at least two other real yuri pairings in this anyway, so it's not bait.

^I can't hear you over all the TENDOU MAYA!

wut
I just don't like how they adapted it, but I love the manga.

I'm just saying you will be killed for that controversial opinion. If you dont wanna run that's cool too.

I must say DavidPro, not giving Giorno his manga color scheme at the end there was a lost golden opportunity.
Still, for what they had to work with (the weakest ending in Jojo), they did amazing work.

Stone Ocean never.
