We finally get a full-length, non-NSFW RemiFlan...and it's not even RemiFlan. I guess Minakata is too much of a SakuRemi fan to really get away from that pairing.

Too true. If anything, this is a Flan->Remi and Remi->Saku (or just RemiSaku/SakuRemi, since we don't know too much about their relationship here) doujin.

I just felt like re-reading the whole series today, and it was great... I love all the characters! (Well, Hanai, Hoshino and Chika.)

BTW, Inception reference here: http://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/the_flower_and_the_star_ch10#26?

I have this feeling after reading chappy 20 is that... Senpai would give his apology as a confession (or might be taken as a confession from other people's perspective) and that things would go downhill and all that...

... I really hate this guy right now... I hate that senpai. And no, I don't want another fucking debate...

Let. Me. Hate. Him.

Why would there be a debate? he is the kind of asshole that doesn't know he is an asshole, aka:the worst kind

He actually thinks he is funny, not an a-hole, but you got it right about the worst kind. Also he better NOT confess to the MC or shit will get real!

I hope this ain't one of those cases where the author herself (?) doesn't understand how terrible a character is, and thinks that he is a nice, sympathetic guy as shown by how he expressed a "wish" to apologise. Because in that case, there's no salvation for the series any more. I don't mind drama, in fact I like it, but when the het drama so dominates the yuri element it's just ridiculous (for a series listed as yuri). As a number of people have mentioned, I would have much preferred a story about Pika-chan and Naomi-senpai.

I don't hate Youko, but she should just get over Maki. She's not worth it. (Clearly, since her taste is so bad.)

Whoa, I really wasn't expecting that...! I hope that the next chapter will also deal with the plot rather than letting it wait as before.

will Keiko end up with this guy

Well, I don't think that Keiko will end up with this guy again.

I don't think that's going to happen either; I think Keiko needs to get over what happened in the past, rather than return to it. Also, judging by Ran's reaction, I don't think she'll be very happy if he gets together with Keiko again - maybe it's just my yuri goggles, but it seems to me that she would be displaced by such a relationship.

I look forward to the next chapter, as always.

humph.... so is this abandoned or has some other group adopted it?

That's something I'd like to know, too. Is this update a herald of more to come, or is it a "fake" signal only meant to catch up to everywhere else?

Not sure whether this should go here or not, but I'm pretty sure the mature warning for Aoki Mitsue's "Sweet Room" ought to be placed at the beginning rather than end to be of use... ^^

Loved this! The story was good, but the setting blew me away... Gotta go off read the rest of Gensou Komuten's stuff!

I wasn't so keen on this series at first, but after the first few chapters I was hooked... The jokes and situations hit too close to my heart!

Loved it! Even if the yuri feels a bit incidental, the art (and full-colour-ness) and setting are definitely enough to sell this. I wish there was more sci-fi yuri out there...

Feel slightly guilty as a Mokou/Keine fan, but this was really sweet and a great read.

Yukari asking why Keine would do such a thing if she was in love with Mokou and her reply that she made it so she had never been in love with her made me so sad though... ToT

Guess I'm the only one who loves Asuna here. and i wish both Asuna and Fue will get back together.

Hey, you're not alone, I wish they could reconcile too. I just can't condemn Asuna for cheating; for me, what is abhorrent about cheating is the idea of betraying your partner or not caring about them enough, but here that's not the case. It's obvious that Asuna cares so much for Fue but receives painfully little in return, and that she would not be cheating on her if only Fue would do it with her. It's because she's realised that Fue doesn't want to do it, but can't just suppress her own needs forever, that she goes to Meru instead. Although it's technically cheating, the intentions are completely different - in fact, it's partly because she loves Fue that she cheats on her, because otherwise she would simply continue to press her with unwanted demands. I just can't for the life of me say that's wrong, though admittedly I am very biased towards Asuna since we don't see much of how Fue thinks.

I was deciding whether I should read the new "Collectors" chapter or this one first, and picked this one to leave "Collectors" to boost my spirits should anything depressing happen... Seems I was right.

And I know that a lot of people are criticising Asuna for cheating on Fue, but you know, throughout the series I had never felt that Fue expressed care for Asuna, though it might just be that she doesn't show her emotions much. They were in a relationship, but in my opinion it was obvious only on Asuna's side. That's gotta be frustrating. Normally I wouldn't condone cheating, but I do feel really bad for Asuna; a relationship should be mutual, not just one-way.

Such a sweet ending... I really hope Sacchan reciprocate Ruki's feelings! I also hope they can stay together for the rest of the series, dramatic and soap-opera-y as it is.

if you think the interpretations are awful then come up with something better? =P don't say something is horrible if you can't do better.

Well, I can't because I don't believe any dream interpretation is good and I'm cool with that. As to not saying something is horrible when I believe it's horrible (well, horrible is overselling it a bit) by definition, that's a bit of a silly concept when you think about it.

I do agree that dream interpretation is a silly concept in real life, but if a dream appears in a work of fiction it usually means something because the creator made a deliberate choice to include it. Its significance may vary from a symbolic interpretation of a character's trauma (as some here speculate) or just a simple representation of other events, wishes, worries, etc., but the fictional dream itself rarely is devoid of any significance at all. So I think that here, people are justified in trying to tie it back to Keiko's past.

I like how the chapters are turning into less instruction manual and more actual plot. There's also a ton of family drama to savour, and despite the complaints about the boyfriend, and now the most recent news about the fiance, I think there's still quite a bit of subtext going on. This is particularly the case with Ran in chapter 10, but there's also a bit from Keiko too because although she was a delinquent she treated Ran well. It's even commented on: http://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/stretch_ch11#7 (though I don't think anybody missed that one). Anyway, yuri or no yuri, I'm still eager to see how this story unfolds.

A great parody of fan-analysis! Sayaka's so insistent on the HomuMadoness~ Is she a fan too?

Red spider lilies represent death or the departing of lovers. :) So canon

Not to mention there's a lesbian film by the same name... Don't know whether that was deliberate though. XD

Not sure about whether somebody's suggested this already, but it'd be nice if there was a way to combine subsribed tags or have exclusion-tags... e.g. I've subscribed to the "romance" tag but that sends all romance-tagged series to my "To Read" list when I only want to read the yuri. Is there any way to make it so that it only sends me romance+yuri ones, or to exclude the "het" tag? It sounds pretty difficult, though.

Love how it's funny but definitely building character relationships... And yes, the classmates really like getting in their way, don't they? XD

Glad to see this is still being updated! Love Konno Kita, even if this particular series isn't yuri!
