Although I let the comments spoil me, the cut to Niji after Meguru's profound realisation was still snicker-worthy.
And man, I thought she had gone off the deep end at first but no, it was just malicious glee. I hope she'll get better... for the sake of literally everyone involved.

Haven't read it yet but the chapter title alone is sending me.

After reading it, I'm still pretty happy. The western comm is a lot more mellow, particularly these days (from what I've seen, I hardly interact with it), so it was fun to hear someone be a bit more up-stuck about it in a harmless manner. It was still pretty positive in the end anyway.

I'm sorry for the other girls. They are amazing, but me personally? If I had to choose just one? Olivia all the way.

Seconded. Sofia is cute for sure but... I really want to play this game myself now.

Wha—no, that can't be. I wish we could have been told why she was crying at least.

By the way, the cover of volume 4 is on the author's twitter: https://x.com/agu_knzm/status/1987391629649715250

I can't wait to hold it in my hands... in two years when the localised version is released here. Looks really nice though. (Man, what if it keeps going and we get a cover with blue pages Mitsuki one day? Just the idea makes me nearly pass out from excitement.)
And thank you for the direct link! That website is hell to navigate.

I have to admit that I didn't care terribly much for the last chapter but this one is so great. Really curious now how she'll resolve it. (I follow a lot of one-person acts on Bandcamp but they mostly do electronic music and Mitsuki has tried that already so...)

The Two of the Art Club has been among my favourites (and At the Bottom of the Water is good too) so I'm glad to see more of these stories.

Yuri is what makes me happy to live in this world.

Me too, Fuyu, me too.

Happy to see this finally completed. I might need to reread to remember who the fuck all the side characters are but it was a nice ending. The glimpse at them in college was just the cherry on top! And while I expected that Mika might get another mention, I think I prefer her story concluding with that somewhat melancholic panel.

Ah, there she is. Yuuki, a big piece of absolute trash. God, I love her.

Welp, at least that kiss was unbelievably cute.

HAHAHA she doesn't even realize what telling someone else a sleepless night on a date sounds like. I'd almost feel bad for her subordinate if she hadn't been trying to sabotage things

Ooooh! I'm not completely clueless about love like our main character but this went right over my head.

Oh, this chapter was a lot tamer than I expected (What did I expect? No clue...) and pretty sweet and hopeful on the other side. Perhaps Niji is done with her outbursts... for now...? And I keep my fingers crossed that Komugi will continue growing and become happier and more assertive and not spiral the second Meguru makes things hard for her again (this sort of development isn't linear after all).

Haha, that was quite evil.
Looking forward to the next chapter.

Up until now, I could still somewhat sympathise with Niji. But with this blackmail plot, she's actively villainous—and not in a fun way.

Damn, I wish she could have just had that one moment; it was such a sweet setup.

Well, it shouldn't be such a surprise because they graduated but I'm still so taken aback and happy that we get to see them like this.
And I love that it's with a callback to the fridge conversation of all things.

Reading this again, albeit in one go, it is shorter (or more fast-paced?) than I remembered. Tazune is also trashier than I remembered. I'm not going to buy for one second that he's changed just because this kid has an okay impression of him and he got her some stuff.
Speaking of the kid, the timeskip was interesting insofar that we didn't get to see the leads. Unusual but pretty neat. Not that I felt the need to see them. Maybe it's just knowing that they end up together but it was hard to care about what happens to them. Momo was kind of bland, even if it was nice to have her voice some things unlike Takara in Pink Candy Kiss, who is just as anxious but holds back far more (not that I mind as Ema's husband is a source of stability, although it means a lot more slow-burn drama). Midori, on the other hand, represents a lot of what I hate about the stereotypical woman in dating. A bit of an idiot with a cute face as mean as it was for those people to say. At least Yuri from Stupid Woman 26:00 gets to create a dynamic with her partner-in-crime that way.
However, I did like Komari. That teenage brashness was still rather endearing and she did put the brakes on the relationship she didn't really want before getting sucked into something more serious. Being a photographer also scored her points with me, I suppose.

On another note, I'm surprised this series doesn't have any sort of tag to indicate that it partly revolves around pregnancy/having a kid.

Ha, I got burnt out during my first year at my first job and I kept thinking how much I would have loved a coworker that was on the same wavelength at that time. I'm no longer attached to that idea but this story made me kind of... nostalgic?
Especially after some absolutely hellish seven days I needed to cram two normal weeks' worth of work into. Impeccable timing really.

Not consciously for sure.
And either way, it may be on standby but I can't actually turn off the "yuri mode" in my brain. Could be a side effect of being gay.

Wait, so are they married to each other?

Well, now I'm craving donuts. Or some pączki that aren't still completely raw in the centre.

Canonically, Homura having this level of faith in Madoka's goodness and thus being completely devoted to doing her part causes a lot of tragedy and strife. Nonetheless, it makes for comedy gold in doujin. (It does make me think how much more fucked up it would get if Madoka weren't, as someone so aptly put it, a dere-dere plushie though. Maybe it'd result in some sort of Oriko–Kirika situation. If I remember that storyline correctly.)

While I don't mind the main couple with their drama, I always find myself going back to the parts with Kasane and Mimei, particularly their high school days. They have a pretty interesting dynamic (and well, my heart is free real estate for alt women).

Black Knight is ending next month. Sometime really can't catch a break.

Listen, I don't think her son has bad intentions here but I'm tempted to bet money that he's going to put his foot in his mouth in the process.
