The omake was unexpectedly dark this time around. Not that I mind, but it felt a little out of place.

Half of the fun of stories like this is to come read the comments of confused and disappointed people trying to find their sickeningly sweet fluffy times ending. To be fair this one did not quite earn the ending it tried to sell, some of the drama was a bit, hmm, sudden and flimsily established to really be convincing. Ah well. There have certainly been more convoluted developments, and Ai seems content enough with where she ended up though the eerily similar looking half-sibling (I forgot the gender!) of Tomo seemed unnecessary. If anything I am kind of fed up with lack of fluff always labeled sad and/or bad around here.

I don't mind the lack of fluff. I mind the incredibly poor presentation of whatever themes Shuninta was trying to portray as well as the ridiculous plot twists. It's presumably trying to say something, but fails miserably. It's a shitty story, and the lack of fluff has nothing to do with it.

So was this just pseudo-intellectual garbage in the end? Admittedly I tuned out after a while - so I may well have missed something - but I did not see any meaningful points being made here. I assume she's trying to say something about the relationship between love and reason based on the post-chapter quotes, but beyond that I'm at a loss. Would someone who's actually bothered to pay attention be willing to give an analysis?

(As an aside, this manga also reminded me of how disgusting smoking is. Fun times.)

I don't even want to go outside if it's over 20°C.

Finally someone who gets it!

Welp. Eye for an eye, I guess.

I'm going to ragequit if I don't get a "you're so tasty, Donut" line. Seriously.

Extra points if it's in broken English. By now, this series' less-than-stellar translation has basically become one of its charm points.

After this chapter, I'm starting to think that Miho might be too obvious a choice. She's being too flirty, even if it is only joking around. Damn you and your mind games, Namori!

I wanna buy this. Does anyone know where I can?

Unfortunately, aside from buying up a bunch of Yuri Hime back issues it is not yet possible. It looks like the series is finishing with Ch. 7, but I don't yet know what that means for a tank release—seven chapters of this seems too short to fill of volume on its own. My hope is that it might get bundled with NicoChuu and released like that, but either way we should find out soon.

There are three more chapters!? How much further could they possibly escalate this?

I think part of it for me is simply being able to see that a realized-she's-super-gay Shinozaki agonizing over an assumed-to-be-straight Kaede would be easily as hilarious as what we've seen so far, and be an early payoff for the story so far (them becoming an actual couple would probably be a series finale thing).

Like can you imagine Shinozaki knowing she's gay and trying desperately to hide it? That's comedy gold, given the character that's been built up so far.

That's true, actually. It would be a good set-up for some amazing freak-outs.

I'm starting to wonder whether we'll ever get any tangible progress. Also starting to wonder whether it even matters: this is pretty good already.

That said, I'm still holding out for a chapter where Akina discovers that Konatsu and Touko are dating, which in turn leads to her coming to terms with her own feelings for Kaede. Hey, I can dream...

I kinda figured 7-11 stores had to be everywhere, seeing as they bothered to bring them here to ass-end-of-nowhere Norway. Boy was I wrong: In all Europe, they apparently only have stores in Scandinavia.

(At least according to this year-old wikipedia image: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/03/7eleven_world_map.png)

I wonder where the notion that kissing is a "friendly thing" in America comes from. It pops up every now and then. Do the Japanese just equate all westeners with Americans, or...?

This is like...pure undiluted autism

I don't know about that. The "Autism" term is used rather excessively here on the web... The senpai has no social skills. but that's not the same as being autistic. It's pure undiluted social retardation, which hits just uncomfortably close enough to home for me to find this fucking hilarious.

Something's whispering me that there won't be any actual healthy yuri, only subtext...

Just wait until chapter 13. It will come. THE YURI WILL COME. JUST WAIT ANOTHER 5 YEARS FOR TRANSLATOR TO ACTUALLY GET TO IT BECAUSE OF ALL THE BREAKS.

NEARLY HALFWAY THERE in terms of chapter numbers, anyhow...

It could be a great manga without the sex part, the beginning felt like a great start for a yuri series... but no it's hentai

Well, it's not bad for a porn one but it's just kinda disappointing when you see the sex and ahegao coming.

Meh, it was just a few pages. Easy enough to ignore it.

At p46 it says the bath powder is lemon flavoured. Now I don't use bath powder, but that seems off... Regardless, I think we can all agree that lemons are the most tsundere of citrus fruits.

Are you telling me you don't eat bath powder? What the hell...

Of course not. I snort it like a normal person.
