So I just reread the whole manga thus far… twice.
1. I think Yui is gonna turn out gay. She doesn’t like boys, but just knows how to go with the flow and act like a normal high school girl. She also said she likes cute girls. She is best friends with Ritsu and obviously knows that she didn’t like the bf. They were even joking about the relationship naturally breaking apart.
2. So even though Yarai was introduced as an airhead and then suddenly you see her being socially aware, it does make sense. Her impulsive reaction to prevent Ritsu from being miserable and unhappy without thinking whether she herself likes Ritsu does make sense. Basically she was putting Ritsu first, without thinking through her own actions. Yes it comes off as selfish and dubious but the fact that Yarai barely processed her own feelings but is super observant of Ritsu’s unhappiness and masking is what makes me believe she honestly was thinking “save Ritsu first, make her see that she’s unhappy because no one else is helping her, then process my own feelings for her”.
3. Yarai’s mom is super observant - Yarai gets her humor from her for sure but her ability to be observant later on is reminiscent of her mom.
4. Yarai did say if Ritsu gave her a chance she would change (from being an airhead and impulsive). Funny because at first Ritsu only worried about fitting in and not making things awkward and hold up appearances, and she expressed this to Yarai. Seemingly, Yarai didn’t care about what Ritsu wanted (as seen through Ritsu’s perception of her) like kissing and holding hands or putting Ritsu’s hand on her own breasts. Now Yarai has admitted to not wanting to approach Ritsu at school because she’s considering what Ritsu said before, she didn’t think that Ritsu was okay with holding hands, and she still seems very perceptive. Ritsu, on the other hand is now like “why should Yarai care about what Ritsu’s friends think?” “Why do my friends care who I hang out with?”

Hikaru is very observant I know she’s been thinking on this stuff for a while. As clumsy as she is she’s not a useless lesbian. She is actively trying to make things work but is also dealing with anxiety that I do think Kiara caused. But this communication is so wholesome and so mature. This whole MANGA IS WHOLESOME AND MATURE DAMNIT

''Normal''??? wth

Internalized homophobia sucks :-(

I feel that tho. Going through it now but my outlet was never acting.

No one gonna talk about Koharu holding a confused bald eagle like it's a cat?

I really like the senpais in the back going YEEHAW!!! lol best drawing

Why does yen press get all the good stuff. Their translations are often kinda... iffy.

The author could just provide them with the English script herself.

does yenpres only deliver to the US and Canada or is there some way to get around those being the only two countries the store lets me choose.

Because i'll be honest I'm not going to buy a pdf, so if there's another way to get the manga to europe I'd be happy to hear it.

Bought the pre order!

The pre-order links for the English version of Volume 1 are live!!!

Our goal is to secure so many pre-order sales that inee won't even have to worry about Volume 2 sales in order to secure Volume 3 and beyond of the story!

bit.ly/lovebullet1 will take you to Yen Press's pre-order page!

WILL DEFINITELY BUY!! I THANK THE SCANLATORS FOR GETTING THE WORD OUT so that the manga could rally behind the author. If the scans do hurt sales, I do believe the scanlator’s earlier post that they would stop. But while waiting on a volume 2, scanning is good to keep readers involved. But FOR SURE I am buying pre orders.

Alright alright, you’ve been useless for too long. Go ahead, take her hand. That’s it.
Face interpretations left to right of entourage:

“Fight on!”
“There you go, don’t be useless now”
*bored
*slightly embarrassed (hard to tell)
“YAS bitch get it!”
(Face not shown, but still there supportively, with fists in determination)

Yep, Shou getting turned in by Umi has continued to be a thing. Their living situation being what it is, they seem to have very little 1:1 time to talk and figure things out, so good for Shou to communicate clearly that she does like being touched towards the end.

Shou’s hypersensitivity to light caresses and the message chair and also her lack of sensitivity to temperature are again very consistent with the idea that she is autistic and has different ways of processing sensations. Maybe Umi should try a firm hug and deep pressure instead?

It was only from this chapter that I began to think that. Now that I’m getting more aware of the characteristics, hypersensitivity for a lot of stuff is a big giveaway. Were these things always present? Getting bullied and liking specific unique hobbies may have been one of them too but I thought it was just a personality trait. I think in Citrus that Mei is also autistic, given the limited range of expression (or maybe just not knowing how to express). Stimming too, Mei likes her stuffed animal teddy bear. I don’t think I’ve seen Shou stim before?

I kind of wish it was pointed out as such, like putting it in a manga and showing that “people with these traits can be successful and happy too” is good for normalizing. But also pointing it out how effective communication is not just for this specific relationship but for people in the community would maybe be taken well. . . Maybe? Like I’m glad they mentioned “asexual” in Bloom into You explicitly, but I also wish they pointed out Demisexuality, which is what Yuu was.

This was fully translated on MangaDex what happened here?

This is a manga where the protagonist realizes she's gay immediately after -- and because of -- masturbating yet people are complaining about the ethical implications. What has this site come to smh my head

Are you serious? "It's ecchi so just turn brain off"? People typically isn't into cucking

Bros acting like it being goofy takes away from the fact that she’s (potentially) planning on assaulting her friend without consent.

I don’t wanna read smthn without making sure im mentally prepared for the possibly rapey undertones

Yeah aside from my general dislike of NTR and adjacent content, I don't plan on reading more because the first chapter reads to me like a story that's planning on sexual orientation conversation through sexual assault, which is gross all around.

She didn’t even know what the term for what she was doing was. I bet she doesn’t even know how lesbian sex would work. Yes there is a depiction of them on a bed with them half naked saying “make Nene’s body…” but I think that’s an idea of what could happen after al the romantic gestures. Because that manga “Pleasure NTR” was only showing swooning romantic things. She’ll ramp up yes, but only after seeing success with the romantic things like KABEDON and saving her with her karate. I think by the time it gets sexual there will be little to no reluctance.

This goes one of two ways: dubiously consented sexual coercion, or "I was trying to gauge how you felt about me in an incredibly dumb and roundabout way by claiming to have a crush on some guy but actually it was you I liked"

Wow, openings like this really are starting to feel predictable in which route they'll take. :D I guess we'll just have to wait and see what happens.

Idk it’s set up more for nene to be in trouble and for Kano to use karate and “appear right when [she] was in trouble” making Nene swoon. Also “cooperation” to help her prepare for the next step is just like NTR Trap. Like making Nene practice with Kano.

Missing page Google Translate:

Lady: Haha, thank you. You have everything.

Maid: Yes, I brought everything.

Lady: Done.

Maid): Miss, if you need anything, just let me know. I can do anything for you, young lady.

I could almost see this as an allegory to how healing love can be in the face of a poisonous unfair world. Or something like accepting yourself can break your own curses.

You know i was wondering why the yuri tag didn’t turn into “Just Gal Pals” like it does annually for April Fools. I’m glad this scanlator has the pranking humor lol.

Dang, apparently it's ending in 2 chapters:

Great family moment but the story does seem to be wrapping up.

Noooo this is so well written my god I really want to buy this if it get licensed in English. May get it in Japanese if I have to.

Are we going to find out in the future that Hikaru and her dad has some kind of disease that lowers their IQ when they fall in love or something.

Debt sucks but to divorce someone over that and making them become a single parent? I don't know about that.

I mean that song from Phineas and Ferb across the 2nd Dimension makes it seem like divorce can save some ache financially …..

The school is not giving you the role you want, but the role you need. That's all.

Oh ..
That sounds just right.
To train her to become someone she wants to be, she needs some particular skills by being a villainess to become one ఠ_ఠ..
Makes sense (to the school and the author of this story)

But..
Why does one needs to be a villainess in order to be friends with everyone?
What sort of skill will she able to learn as villainess so that she could make friends with everyone ⊙﹏⊙?

Well I think prioritizing one special person, not being friends with everyone, is something she needs to learn. You can’t be upset when people dislike you in real life that’ll get you no where. You’ll run yourself dry and ragged.

Don’t tell me she’s gonna knock Nanase out with the bucket lol

Also, how long has Mitsuki known? I mean because yes, she knew Aya had romantic feelings for Onni-san but was she worried that once she became a female it would be platonic? Even as they began to grow apart I was afraid Mitsuki hadn’t been developing romantic feelings, only Aya.

Narita, my best supportive male yuri overseer . . . You done it. . . Your brilliant idea has in the end pushed these idiots together for 2 chapters of kissing.

He knew exactly when his plan had succeeded as you see him in the bottom left panel with his head against the wall, banging his hand in pure glee. He’s totally going to support them when they come out of the broadcast room lol.

You’re now as memorable as the reincarnated yuri-wall dude

She’s so horny lol can’t blame her.

oohhh, coming out arc next?

I’m glad that Shou doesn’t mind same-sex, she is just more concerned with bullies from her past and hurting Umi. Interesting that Shou was recommended a tragedy love story, pushing her to accept her feelings and become official girlfriends or else risk losing Umi to another.

Umi has been saying “forever” and “I’ll never change my mind” and there was the pinky promise of always loving her. But now I’m afraid that Umi may unconsciously abandon Shou because of all these promises foreshadowing. Shou is slowly learning to romantically love Umi (one kiss in 14.2 after no one showed up to the Aquarium Club Seniors’ Sendoff Party).
Honestly, with Umi getting closer and more classmates noticing (even Zumi, who was one of the hesitant bullies of Shou) it was about time for Umi to stop holding back. I want Umi to be able to indulge herself with Shou’s consent. She’s been patient and restrained, especially at the field trip public baths. Such a good girlfriend! Shou will always be awkward but I’m glad she’s accepting herself and coming to love Umi too.

Chapter 3 was unexpectedly Wholesome.

Agreed

This manga is unhinged and I'm here to stay.

It took me a while to start reading…… but this is too fucking interesting to let go.

Daaang this might be my favourite from this anthology. It feels the most 'fleshed out' out of all of them.

Honestly put this read off for way too long. I agree, very fleshed out and actually makes me want more. But it’s a one shot in an anthology. All I can hope for is a sequel.
