I feel like i could do it if a had more tokens lol. Btw what's a lock team?

You asked the same question two pages ago xD You having memory problems?

Can someone with 'Smile increases drastically' main friend me? I can't get any on that front xD

I think that's as safe a form of touchy-feely as Naitou can do at the moment. She seems to already at least have feelings for Yuicchi, if not then cares about her more than anyone else. Plus just look at her hair...it is so caressable

Oh, I think it was crush/love at first sight if we judge by the first chapter :) And Yuichi growing out her hair because Naitou would like to see it, well that's that ;)

No author tag?

Now if it was only translated xD

Neither digging the art style nor the plot.. I've indulge myself in enough drama clubs in yuri whilst reading Aoi Hana.

Still I think there won't be the bullshit drama that is in that, but it's your choice.

It's been awhile since there was a new chapter. Naitou really likes Yuichi's hair, in every single chapter she's seen twirling/caressing her hair, except in the Pirate Edition one, which you can attribute it to not really being them. Though she seems to show the same interest as their School Life counterparts.

It goes like

Wow, thank you :) I'm not satisfied though. Why does it have to be two parts.. From the looks of it there isn't a third one.

well here i have found this chapter the the next one :3

Ooh, nice, nice. Too bad it's in Chinese. I don't know a translation group that does Chinese->English translations.

The problem is not that she didn't confess her feeling but that she just completely ignored her friend confession (I think that kiss can count as a confession) and just acted as if nothing happened while putting distance between them (I don't think i'm wrong saying it's a rejection). And then when the friend start to show affection to another person she start being touchy feely with her trying to tempt her.
We don't even know if she loves her friend, to me she just seems overly possessive.

Huh, I completely forgot about that kiss. Oh well. I only hope that Hii doesn't try to get a reaction from Ayu by getting with the teacher. She seems genuinely interested in her, but you can't just switch off your feelings for a person. When she tells her that they shouldn't do things like that anymore it looks like it pains her to say it, but what will happen if someone to tell their feelings to Ayu and she overhears it? Then it's going to be another kind of mess that can make people make mistakes. If we're going by the cover Hii may be trying to have two relationships. Or she's going to be the one who pretends that she doesn't know about Ayu's feelings. If it comes to that point I'm just not going to read it. I don't even know if I should continue past the first chapter just because of how common I find multi-chaptered Yuri stories use for plot.

I can also conceivably see this as not as much of a love triangle as we expect and Hii actually isn't doing any thing with the music teacher, and she just wants to make sure this isn't Ayu being clingy and selfish but rather actually invested in a romantic relationship.

In any case it will be a huge mistake on Hii's part if she tries to kindle any sort of romance with this teacher.

I think it's too late about that. If we're going from the colored pages which are probably a bit in the future, Ayu sees Hii and the teacher kissing.

I also understand that it's somewhat Ayu's fault for not confessing her feelings, but can you really blame a girl that's 14-15 years old about having feelings for another girl? Yeah it's irritating that she hasn't acted on her feelings, but to suddenly be forbidden to touch a friend, Hii is kind of saying 'You had your chance, deal with it.' and she's not confronting her feelings either, instead of choosing to cling to a person who showed her a little bit of kindness and that can be pretty emotionally damaging. So it's both their faults, although it's obvious who will be more hurt in the end.

I liked the credits page. Is it based on this manga or a different one, or is it just a piece of art?

It's Itou's new tank release I think. iirc it's supposed to be another original story.

Ooh, are you going to translate it as well if someone else doesn't pick it up first?

Haha, this one finally made it's way here huh? Well there are plenty of pics from this author, can't wait to see them all on here.

So it's ongoing? I'm interested.

Stretch.

The entire manga so far was a setup for the cat, the title character.

That's a weird cat name. I'm gonna name my cat Ran, Ran, Ran you naughty.

It could be Keiko, if it's old enough xD I can imagine the next chapter opening to a black panel and a speech bubble saying "Ugh, Keiko you're heavy. Get off." and showing the white kitty slumbering on her. Somehow I can imagine Shou doing something like that xD

Do you guys ever stop and think "We might be taking this too damn seriously"?
Cause that's what it looks like you're doing.
I mean, yuri goggles are great and all but you guys are setting yourselves up for disappointment.

What else are we going to do when there's no information? People gotta be active!

(but again, you never know what awaits us around the corner, especially with Higashiyama)

I somehow doubt he'll bring up his 'side-projects' nature in this one. If he wanted to he would've already done so :)

Also no guesses about the name of the kitty?

It's been too long since we've had such a straightforward one-shot. So, so long. Either way it was very cute :)

From what my hazy memory remembers... isn't Ran seen rather really confident in flirting and not shy about sexuality-topics? Something like that? I wouldn't make take a stab at whether or not she's a virgin, but I'd go as far as to say she's probably rather comfortable in her own shoes at this point about it.

The most prominent one would be about 'popping senpai's cherry' xD But yeah she's confident about it. She doesn't have to be a virgin, but she may as well be one. I know one person who is comfortable with flirting/innuendos/sex stuffs who is a virgin (me).

But now we're dwelling on something we'll probably not get answers about anytime soon.

Moving on to more important things. Any guesses about the name of the kitty?

That'd be interesting, but I don't think it's likely. Since the sentence immediately prior to that mentions drinking and all she does during the party is pretty much drink... not to mention there have been plenty of times where her love for alcohol has been referenced...

She's drinking regularly though so that is not the relapse problem. It would be something else. I'd very much like to think that she's been waiting for Keiko as well but they haven't had contact after she graduated so I doubt she's been waiting. If per chance that is the case it would be incredibly sweet but the chance is really slim.

I too can't imagine her sleeping around but loosing a parent can be traumatic. Plus she isn't as much worried about drinking as drinking too much and maybe not having control over herself which would generally lead to someone taking advantage of her and maybe her not caring about it.

As it is now we don't know anything about her love life, and as far as we're concerned she's a virgin, because she or someone else hasn't said she's had a partner at all. It'd be an interesting twist if she was asexual.

Ran said it herself a few chapters ago, that she is not interested in getting a boyfriend (or something like that, iirc). The only person she has any interest is Keiko.

She said she doesn't want to be popular among guys. Which is kind of saying "I'm a (raging) lesbian (for Keiko)"

Also Saki likes her company. Ran is a pretty cheerful person so that's understandable. So if she liked some boy, maybe she's with him now. All-in-all I really don't think Saki is having/going to have romantic feelings for Ran.

Plus I really doubt that Keiko is going to end up with her ex. They may become friends after clearing up whatever feelings are left, but if she ends up with him all of her development will be made irrelevant and at that time the manga wouldn't have a point. I can see her ex going for Ran though eventually and that eliciting a reaction out of Keiko. Not in the 'she's mine' kind, but some kind of reaction. I don't try to get my hopes up too much. I've watched Nana xD It's been awhile of course but I see some similarities.

Also now that I re-read that particular chapter (27.5) she mentions a relapse. Which most of the people here attributed to alcoholism, but it could be that she was sleeping around with men/women because of said alcoholism, which would be maybe around the time her father had died.

NTR is when they are in a relationship, which they aren't.

No, that's what cheating is. NTR is when main character's expected romantic partner ends up with someone else.

Hmm, I've always seen it referred to NTR when the main characters 'girlfriend/boyfriend' is stolen. Guess I was wrong there. Still I don't see Ran going for either of them, plus didn't Saki have a boyfriend?

Subtle you say? Even though we got a probability of an approaching NTR potentially having even two candidates for performing it...and what ticked me off was how Keiko wouldn't give a single shinkansen about the likelihood of Ran being stolen, readily agreeing to arrange a meetup of her with Saki...

You're exaggerating. Plus NTR is when they are in a relationship, which they aren't. Also Ran doesn't seem she likes either Saki or Keiko's ex in that way. Are you per chance drunk? (slightly joking)

Too bad the previous two can't be uploaded. Still I like to read them through every once in a while.

I do have to agree with that other poster above who's a bit frustrated that Keiko doesn't seem to show much emotion towards Ran beyond friendship, not even a wistful look. It makes things look awfully one-sided.

On page 7 after whats-er-face mentions that Ran's scent is everywhere, the pause from the answer of Keiko could be interpreted that she's missing her. But that's if you're reaching xD

On the first page I also thought that was a woman. Oh well. He may not indeed love her. I have a person who is like that for me and I don't love her romantically. So just putting that out there. Although this is a manga so xD

Also that's a cute kitty.

^ It's precisely because they can't sleep and people do that they attack xD From where is your avatar btw?

If he did two chapters every week then the 'plot' wouldn't be this nicely spread and it would be what Citrus is, I like it as is.

believe it or not, but it's just 24 more hours of wait!

Expecting a long chapter, or short?

Either it's going to be the standard length or 10 pages. It could be 16 like the 22.5 one but I seriously doubt it.
