So that's why Kei cut her long hair before--right after Yokoe complimented it. It doesn't really say whether Kei has always been aware of her own feelings or only reactionary of Yokoe's. I need more of this two, especially Kei.

physical intimacy intensifies while still being friends, I like how girls are having a ticket pass in this.yup just gals being pals.

If you're already aware of yourself, it would be the inverse when it comes to physical intimacy with female friends.

I have no words with these gaybies! Their thoughts are just asymptomatic, it's crazy.

If we're being technical with the tag, it's not "love" triangle because the only love portrayed in this one-shot is that of Mao towards Yuki. But it's hinting at a possible true love triangle.

Those panels where Arashi is seen looking at Mao's face twice separately are deliberately placed there to hint of a romantic interest towards Mao regardless if she's yet to realize. It's the same as the last few panels where Yuki is zoomed in and her expression while seeing Arashi laughing with Mao could either be that she's had a realization about Arashi, or she's conflicted or jealous although it's quite established that she only sees Mao as a friend, successfully so.

Those panels aren't placed there randomly and this is the case with romance manga one-shots where exploration of feelings is limited. Try putting yourself to an author or filmmaker where you have to let a reader or viewer know of something relevant but you can't explore it further because of panel or time constraints--every panel/scene is important, others discarded.

If it wasn't hinted as a true triangle, those relevant panels wouldn't exist or at least their expressions wouldn't be the way they were, e.g. Yuki could've had a happy expression since two of her friends are finally getting along.

Kanon recognizes that Saki is sometimes uncomfortable and hiding something, and ignores it because Saki is somewhat pure ?

I'd say because she recognizes that it's something Saki directs toward her own self and not towards her, and she ignores it because there's no malice in that.

I didn't get that read at all. The special treatment thing was all regarding her disability and how people usually act towards her because of it. It didn't feel like Kanon had any expectations towards him in an emotional sense at all. Imo that fluster just came from her being torn between wanting to be treated like everyone else but also admitting to herself that getting special treatment is smth she's come to be used to so it threw her off

In ch6, the lil sister mentioned people who keep on misunderstanding her sister's facial expressions, I'm not sure if that's a call out to those readers from the author.

Ah she's the kind that gets interested if and only if there's a chase. What if it's not a poly ending or even any one of them but it ends up the opposite of having a harem when they eventually realize they wouldn't gonna be exclusively special with her because she's gonna be indecisive about it.

And then it will be revealed that MC hasn't truly moved on since the reason she's being a pushover to any woman who shows interest in the first place is because of the heartbreak she experienced in HS.

Can't get enough of their eyes' and mouths' expression. It's too good and accurate.

guys won't chat us up

It's a gay bar though, doubt straight or bi men would go there to hook up with women

Oof, that's quite a dilemma. And the lil sister definitely had a thing for her dead older sister.

It's becoming a harem and I've no problem with it.

I wonder what Seo really did referring to those in the comment box, most of them were either not sure or secondary source. The new girl is most likely a murderous one.

Pushed her down
Asked if they can do it
She says no
Immediately stops and apologises

Yes, it is literally a tale as old as time. People in relationships get physical with each other when they crave intimacy. That's normal. You don't need a written contract before touching your girlfriend's shoulder. She came on strong, to be sure, but literally the first time she was told "no" she stopped. Rape is a serious crime, and I wish we'd stop trivializing it by saying touching any part of your partner's body without asking first makes you a rapist. If only it were so easy to stop real rapists by telling them "no".

Thanks goodness for people like you.
Every time someone asks their partner for sex, the anti-sex herd bellows rape.

The world needs more people like you who stand up to them.

Brave men are fighting a brutal war in the comment section for the future of humanity. Pray for them ladies and gentlemen for they are they are the last guardians of morality and rationality. God bless their RGB keyboards.

Your virginity reeks.

It says that Aya also gets flustered with at-school Mitsuki, riiight? Or am i reading that wrong

Right, school and shop Mitsuki give off the same pheromones after all.

her tattoo is apparently temporary. (The “She might change it” made me think that, I mean… how the heck can you cover this soundwave tattoo and make it look like something other than idk a blur in your wrist??)

Most likely it's not, tattoo artists are quite creative in "changing" tattoos

So Aya is definitely gay and into butches, but hasn’t realised it yet, right? Cause that’s the implication I’m getting from this. I’d bet any previous “older guys” types she was interested in were actually butch women and she just didn’t realise.

Or she simply needs to have a type in men in order to belong--comphet

It's depressing to see how she spirals back down to where she was ngl. Now I'm wondering if the author intends Kei's character as someone who actually falls in love with a person after they've become close/best friends as opposed to the friendzone trope. And this where the misunderstanding lies--Yokoe believing that she'll be happy as just friends forever while Kei wouldn't really mind if it's something more.

Aya can definitely fall for school Mitsuki, they have a lot more of going-ons in school and she's already aware of the latter's interest in music.

Most belated April fool's everyone. What kind of elucidation must I covet for this highfalutin construction?

Edit: honestly wondering why the sudden change in their speech? It would be understandable for the classy ojou-samas to talk that way and/or if their speech has always been like that to begin with, but it's honestly bothersome to connect them with the characters now. Sorry for the rant, this chapter made them all sound pretentious in my head.

Relying on random acts of nature to progress the story seems a bit cheap. I mean it can totally work but not in a romance manga.

I thought about those random acts of nature that prevents yuri every time, so this one's surprising in a yuri.

This is too funny. When you try to gal pal your way into things but you end up as gal pals instead.

When I read ch1 before, I haven't yet learned of the real life sheep shearing lesbian couple who have known each other since they were 3, becoming childhood best friends, becoming a couple in HS, graduating in the same HS and college, getting married, and started working on their own business that they both love. I can only imagine how it went and this manga is chef's kiss.

I have a question but first, my situation. I'm a female on my late 20s and I asked another one out. She's a year older. I told her that I find her "a curiosity" and that I want to get to know her better. This is through a DM. My question is, if someone were to ask you out that way, would you most likely think that she was just curious or that she was interested?
Assume that, just like in the story, both of you have found yourselves on several occasions looking at each other for many years now but never talked. Also assume that you were the first one to stare at her.

Aya never mentioned her first name to Mitsuki in that call. She'll at least realize this later on and probably ask the latter how she knew. Mitsuki can easily clear up the misunderstanding right then and there but that would be it or she could make a white lie that would only spark suspicion on Aya. Not sure if the author is planning on a very long story here, but they were quick enough to make Aya think about work Mitsuki after she slipped the earbud to her ear. This makes me think they don't intend to prolong this misunderstanding. Also someone mentioned that there's 0% chance that Aya would fall for school Mitsuki but they're forgetting that school Mitsuki can easily engage Aya about music too and they have more time together at school.

Author said no summer arc for you.

I really like the artstyle and their expressions. It's so gooooood. Never mind that I have the same taste in music or that I have piercings/tunnels and tats as well.

why use QPQ instead of telling people you're dating/partners/married? It feels like an just extension of conflating romantic and sexual

People love inventing labels and terms even though it's redundant, sometimes they do so thinking it's special. Take pan and bi as an example. Pansexual is basically bisexual by definition but they reject the latter for some reason. Or demisexual and sapiosexual, which is not an orientation because both straight and LGB people can have this affinity. The former towards emotional connection while the latter, intellectual connection. Everybody has their own unique mix of preference towards people, relationship, and things. New labels aren't necessary for all of these.

You know what, Matoi should really get together with the other girl and turn biker girl to a sugar mommy or something.

Well done realizing your feelings!
