Now the chin-lift, and then move in for the coup de grace. Teach her a lesson Diana.

Oh wow ... been a while. Nothing like psycho yuri love.

Gah!!! Rina-rii with Dutch pigtails!?! Plus a modest, fashionable top and no oversized slacker sweatjacket?! I can't take the cuteness!!!

And somehow this actually even works better with her inability to smile ...

Ahhh ... metric system humor.

Aw Ayumu looks cute with a ponytail. Also, love open shoulder tops on girls.

Get a womb you two! Ba-dum-bum.

Can't believe I have to wait 'til 2024 for season 3. More lewd SumiKeke in the meantime please.

"You know, flustered Kasumi is pretty cute too."

Also, underthigh is underappreciated.

Speaking of lawyers, Yu might be worried Mia is still jailbait.

Check out the seme energy from Kasumi here ... nice.

Does every Japanese school have this same roof?

Yu can have that any time she wants; be careful with poor Ayumu's heart, playa.

From her lips to her lips to God's ears. Gonna be a whole rosary after confession.

For those wondering, there's none of this in Catholic school.

Geez Slime-Chan, I can't believe you're this wet alre... oh ... never mind.

I keep wanting to ask if one of these characters is actually "Bocchi", but then it makes me feel like the guy in Pink Floyd's "Have a Cigar": "The band is just fantastic, that is really what I think. Oh by the way which one's Pink?".

^^ Pretty much everyone who didn't want another streaming service just for one show is in the dark.

^^^ She would know.

^ Season 3 is on the way

they already are a couple

No- they are a real couple when one says please go out with me / be my girlfriend- and the other says yes - and they start kissing etc. Sure it looks like they both want to be - especially Haruka- she is knowingly actively persuing kanae - but im unsure if Kanae knows whats up yet- she might not of thought about about it.

You know not every couple goes through the whole confession/asking out thing. Some poeple just get together. They mutually realize what they've got going and just go with it.

Yeah- sure, sometimes. . And after they realise? They start to act like a couple - kissing etc.. and will acknowledge it with each other.. and these 2 are NOTthere- not yet. They are acting like a couple who are into each other / persuing each other etc - or at least Haruka fore sure is. Also no way the author is gonna hook them up off 'screen' imo.

They also say stuff that reveals they are NOT yet a couple - like saying 'I didn't realise you liked me so much' and blushing.. She wouldnt be suprised by her calling her HER Haruka if they were a couple.

My friend, I'm the guy who caused a stir before by saying that I wasn't at all convinced that Honoka "confessed" to Elisha in Chapter 250. I'm still not. The word "love" has many facets and degrees, and to me Honoka is obviously (primarily) straight. Please everyone, don't flame me over this again; I'm just making the point that I'm not easily taken in by the "three little words" and have a higher bar for when I believe people have reached yuri couple status.

That being said, even I have trouble seeing how Haruka/Kanae aren't there yet. I hear what you're saying about kissing and other overtly romantic gestures, but we should be careful not to project Western cultural standards onto Japanese teenagers. Despite what manga and doujinshi might have us believe, Japan is still a far more conservative society than what we're accustomed to in the West. The fact that a couple is only at the hand-holding stage and isn't "hooking up" doesn't necessarily mean they aren't a couple.

As for Haruka's "since when have you been that into Haruka" remark, I think that's just a bit of insecurity combined with embarrasment. Remember, up until now, it's been Haruka who's been the posessive one, and who probably sees herself as the one more in love. Kanae's affection has been more subtle and reserved, often coming as a reassuring reaction to Haruka's fears about being overbearing and smothering with her crush. This was the first unmistakably overt display of jealousy and, well, romantic/sexual territoriality shown by Kanae (but not the first display of sexual interest -- see the "Venus Dimples" chapter).

I would recommend re-reading chapter 222 (which came after Haruka's "I Love You" note to Kanae). They're only being mildly subtle here, talking about "the one you like" and "making my heart pound", the latter being an extremely common trope for romantic attraction. I think they're both very much aware of how the other one feels, especially now. How they handle it physically and verbally is a bit beside the point.

KaRina? That's a new one.

Nico looks so cute here. There will never be another yuri ship quite like NicoMaki.

All "VTubers" are characters. That's why a person uses one instead of their own likeness - to create a wall of separation between the avatar and the real person. Even if some choose to incorporate more of their own personality into that character -- which is also the case with many fictional characters in anime/manga -- it's still a character. It doesn't have the same face or body as the real person, so there is no harm done. It's entirely fair game, and if a VTuber took issue with it (unless someone was profiting from it), I would see that as bad form and a violation of the basic understanding an artist has with their fans.

Can't wait for Season 3 to drop.

Buying a "For Dummies" book in hardback. How appropriate.

Oh wow ... now this is an uncommon treat!
