The author probably didn't want the focus to be on the specific details, but more the extended metaphor of mistakes and regrets from youth being these impactful things that both shape you and burden you, so the best way to deal with them is a mixture of acknowledgement and healthy distance from them. And I'm glad it ended with them moving in together, because they obviously both still wanted to be together, and adults are free to seek those kind of things. I think this was a yuri story that is clearly a cut above the usual storytelling full of tropes and cliches or simplistic enjoyable stuff. Not more realistic than most, than even a high school dating story like Kase-san or something, but the drama in this was felt more than most.

I do wish there was more kissing and embracing or at least a hint at Amy and Fiona heading that way, but they did just meet back up before the story ends.

I thought the translation worked well. I think you dealt with the Japanese questions thing well, translator.

No more of the kawaii eyebrows girl and the sexy, absent-minded teacher? This is a travesty.

So good! I love how things are developing at a brisk pace, even if it's a little hectic.

I could take or leave the actual comic. Minakata and Morishima's Small Riddle is the real epilogue and canon story, to me.

I like Hibiki and Mamori and their monogamous relationships from the show, but this author is really good.

Maruta's art seemed better than ever here. I think he had a little more restraint in showing all different crazy sex positions, which made things more grounded and the character's emotions were a little more prominent in the scene. I hope to see more of this Maruta.

Probably easier for a Japanese person to get a visa and work in the US than in the Netherlands, Spain, etc, though, right? Also I think the mangaka wasn't centering the explanation of gay marriage in the US entirely on their characters' experiences with it; they specifically showed couples that had been together for ages finally being able to get married. That should be able to be celebrated on its own. The Westboro Baptist Church is not a fact of life for any gay person in America. They can and should avoid them.

I agree that the dialogue is a little unclear for the first half of it, even for such a simple story. But the sex was great. It reminded me of yui7 and Hiiragi Yutaka's sex scenes. Maybe it's just me, but I love pubic hair being part of the sensory experience conveyed in a sex scene.

Seemed clear to me. The other discussion was from 3 years ago so maybe people can understand it better in context.

I've been dying for some more original yuri lately. A schoolgirl anthology is just what the doctor ordered.

Yeah, the first volume is a little undercooked, both art and tone-wise, but I think it shaped up quick once Torajirou saw that putting heavy reciprocal flirting and generally slightly more chill situations was a better idea.

I also just noticed Chie's pinky ring. Is she going to be wearing one all the time from now on? That would be yet another cute little touch.

I liked it.

Ai and Chie are so cute together. I could watch then have flirty interactions in every possible situation.

Uhh yeah, why ain't it translated though

Thank you for the Nanzaki Iku!

If reading the manga is so miserable, why show up to read it with every release? Why rush to promptly comment? Why focus your comments solely on the displeasure you're feeling and leave the conversation in the muck and mire after you lose your momentary interest? Have some respect for your own time, other peoples' interests, and the artists of the genre.

It was not here. Thats why i put the link above for anyone to download all the volumes.

Bro, read what people say when they write.
