Movie date! Can't wait to see how that goes. I'm also wondering if maybe volleyball girl is going to learn anything about Sakura when visiting her school; we don't really know anything about Sakura other than that she likes books, so I'm curious to see what's going on at her school.

Oof, Hinata going in for the "I love you", only to get hit back with "Thanks. Good night" That's a rough start to summer vacation.

Now I wonder where they'll go from here.

On a honeymoon, hopefully.

Also, now that they've talked things out, they really ought to remove that rule about going back to being friends if they fall in love with someone else.

Risa got her girlfriend! Happy for her, and also happy for almost everyone in this thread who was rooting for her, lol.

I think this series is terrific, and I thoroughly enjoyed it the whole way through.

This very much feels like the ending of an anime season 1 where you know there's more to come but it never got a second season.

I couldn't agree more. It's not a completely open ending, but rather one that marks both a close to one chapter of the story while at the same time setting the stage for the next chapter. It's just a shame we likely won't be getting that next chapter.

An ending whose worst fault is that it leaves you wanting more isn't too bad in my estimation. I've certainly seen plenty of worse endings than this too, so overall I have to say I really enjoyed this series. John Wick/Jason Bourne, but lesbians, is a hell of a concept. Can't wait to see what the mangaka does next.

I also really liked that it actually brought up the church's issues with homosexuality. It's always been a bit weird to me that Catholic school is like, the stereotypical yuri backdrop, but stories with that setting almost never actually bring it up.

I like the setting of this, and the art is good, but the story continues to be one of the most frustrating things I read on this site, and it's entirely because of Shion. She really is the worst, but hey, at least she realizes it?

Terrific chapter. This series is so good with the way it goes between silliness and really creepy horror. I'm really liking it a lot.

Let's assume before. The problem is, while Aizawa clearly liked Michi a bit from chapter 1, she wasn't head over heels for her yet (Or at least, it took her a while to stop kissing and looking up other girls' skirts.) So they couldn't have known each other too well. It makes it hard for Aizawa's regrets to be specific to Michi too.

I've seen several people elsewhere speculate that Michi was involved with Aizawa's death somehow, but I agree with this. Aizawa only really started focusing on Michi once Michi became her fan, so I don't think it's likely that Michi was involved with Aizawa's death, at least directly. I suspect Michi's trauma is probably some other ghost, maybe the same one that tripped up senpai, or another one that's related to that weird pentagram somehow.

Its also kind of interesting how the manga is drawing parallels between idol culture and the supernatural. With Michi's inability to speak to Aizawa being like a fan keeping a proper distance from their idol, and her falling deeper into fandom equating to seemingly becoming more and possessed by Aizawa's ghost.

Also, Michi's poor dad. He seems like a nice dude, but unfortunately his daughter is in her rebellious phase. XD

At this point with the way people are hyper analyzing and focusing on the English title of “Throw Away the Suit Together” and seeing this solely as a run away from the life sucking corporate workforce should know the Japanese title is “君としらない夏になる“ or properly translated “Into a Summer I Never Knew With You”.

It is an interesting point to consider, because while the Japanese title is 君としらない夏になる, it is also "Throw Away the Suit Together". That English title isn't an invention of the scanlators or the localizers, it's literally printed on the cover of the Japanese volumes. And considering how it's not even close to a literal translation, it definitely feels like an intentional choice rather than Engrish gone wrong. It makes me wonder what the mangaka/editor's reasons were for choosing it, because it's not like "Into a Summer I Never Knew With You" is a bad title at all.

I do think when the story releases in English, Seven Seas should rethink the localized title over to not give people a different expectations about the focus of the story.

I think Seven Seas is going with the Romanized title of "Kimi to Shiranai Natsu ni Naru". At least that's what they announced it as in their press release.

They stay together and are clearly in a better place mentally by the end, and that's a good thing, but I can't help but feel the ending is a massive bummer. I mean, it's called "Throw Away the Suit Together", and the final page is the two of them in suits. They've given up on their dream. Life has beaten them.

Though there is a certain beauty in how life may have beaten them, but it didn't break them, and they're staying together and doing their best going forward. But still, mega bummer, in part because of how real it feels.

Here's hoping we'll get volume extras that put a bit more of a silver lining on things. Like at least show they eventually find work, at decent companies. Also, this is probably just because I'm a weirdo, but ever since I saw the villa on the island in the early chapters, I thought it would look lovely with a nice garden around it and I'm sad it'll now never get one.

Kovachi Luka announced the series is ending with the next chapter (162) in a couple weeks. (link contains some minor spoilers for the latest raw ch.) Link to the tweet. End of an era. I'm definitely going to miss it.

The scans still have a ways to catch up, so that's something to look forward to at least.

I'm glad Mikawacchi called out what Kase's been doing as being terrible. If only Yamada actually took it heart instead of brushing it off.

I'm looking forward to Kase's fortune coming true and it turning out that their new apartment has super thin walls, so there's still minimal opportunities for sexytimes.

Aw, what a delightful chapter.

"It's fine if you don't get used to me being around." Damn Nagisa, even laid up with the flu she can't stop flirting.

This chapter sure was something else, lol

What a fantastic chapter. What I love about this manga is that it starts out as just silly, over the top yuri romcom shenanigans and somehow ends up here, and the transition feels natural.

My money is on her Actually being Leo, how else would she know. Unless she is an Alphardian nobel

Yeah, this was my thought too. We have the sister cross-dressing as a man, so it seems only right for the brother to be cross-dressing as a woman.

Oof. I wasn't expecting that. Kurumi's expression afterwards was brutal to see. Next chapter can't come soon enough.

Ayaka really going for broke! This chapter and the next were the highlight of the series for me when I read the raws. I'm really curious to see what other people think.

It feels weird not getting monthly updates for this...does anyone else feel the same?

I was pretty bummed when it stopped updating, since this is one of my faves, but thankfully another group has picked it up and has been publishing new chapters to Mangadex. They're up to 127 now, releasing roughly every other week. Hopefully the chapters make their way here eventually.

Oh Kurumi, you oblivious dork. XD

I can't wait to see how their next couple's bonding day goes down. This chapter feels like it's building up to something.

Throw at me messy relationships in vein of The Feelings We All Must Endure, Outro, Haru no Noroi, or the last story in I Can't Tell Anyone. A lighter but dragged out mess like Relationship Guidelines will also suffice.

An additional condition is that I'm in mood for stuff without any supernatural elements (like time travel, dreams of past life as tragic lovers, or an evil amnesiac ex-girlfriend feeling remorseful over her past actions turning out to be a good girl's soul trapped in her body).

If it's a webtoon I probably already know about it but I may have missed something recent.

This is a Korean webtoon, so maybe you already know about it, but just in case: Love Thy Neighbor.

It has a decent number of NSFW scenes, so be mindful of reading it in public, but I find it really compelling, even though I don't usually go for more psychological series.

Are there any villainess yuri stories where the villainess is actually fairly effed up? I mean someone like Fukiko Ichinomiya from Oniisama e. She was a seriously nasty person.

Maybe I’m weird for wanting it, but there’s nothing like the thrill of digging into the twisted psychology of a screwed up villainess. Most of these villainess stories are cute, but I abandon them ‘cuz they’re just tsunderes in fantasy settings. Not much real villainy.

This is pretty rare even in het villainess stories unfortunately. Only a few come to mind: The One Within the Villainess, Grail of Eris, and I Awoke as an Imprisoned Villainess. And while these do all feature two women as the leads, none of them are actually yuri (though The One Within the Villainess has some pretty strong sapphic subtext).

Another lovely chapter. Hato delivering excellent expressions as always. I'm curious what's going on with Elm; clearly something isn't quite right despite their seeming success, with both chapter 18 and this one ending on a slightly ominous note.

LMAO, that credits page XD

Looks like Kurumi's starting to feel things. I'm curious to see how Ruriko reacts once she realizes.

Oh hell yeah, I've read the raws for this, and it's so good. Super excited to see it get translated and see what other folks think.

Holy cow, what a great set up. I'm really curious to see where this goes.
