I also thought there would be a talk between Shiratori and Hase in which she encourages Shiratori to reach out to the student, who even if she didn't necessarily made it into the art college she still appreciates that her teacher believed in her.

In that case the story would have turned out to be Hase the school psychologist, easing every ones worries. Feels like she'll be a harem protagonist. But now that everything seems kind of resolved, where is the story going will it be a love story between Shiratori and Nekome, will there be drama involving Hases relationships so Nekome can return the favour and help her out or will now Nekome notice she also likes Hase or something.
The one thing I wouldn't enjoy would be if they suddenly introduce a student like Nekome that is into Hase and Nekome and her become friends and trying to help each other out.

Thanks for "finishing" this series. Thinking back, I really loved reading room for two in the beginning. Never stopped reading it but I personally believe that the story meandered for too long. This doesn't really feel like a conclusion, which works since the story essentially isn't over if chapters are still released and I mean what should have happened, they apparently are a platonic couple and they are happy with that. Although even now Kasumi is pretty much taking advantage of Sakurako even if she is okay with it because she loves her and also taking care of her.

A good point for the "last" chapter in my opinion could have been when they moved in together, just story-wise. Afterwards to keep the structure the manga could rename itself into home for two or something and keep going like for example Citrus did.

I'm about half and half on the ending. I quite like Meguru and Azuki's resolution. A big part of the story was them mending their relationship and getting through their issues so it's good to see that they managed to rebuild that bridge burned.

Remu... Niji ended up being one entire step above the "disgusting" love's the other three were throwing around so to end the story here after a confrontation but before we actually see anything mended if that's even truly possible. So while Remu got through her issues with Meguru's help it does feel like she's stuck with Niji. (a fight doesn't really cover what Niji did after all)

I get that a lot of people were rooting for Remu to get with Azuki considering they've been on the same wavelength througout the story but honestly, Azuki has so obviously only ever looked at Meguru that way to the point she even became "disgusting" in the first place. And hey I really liked Meguru so for me this is a win.

you know what, I'm three quarters on the ending, I like Meguru and Azuki's resolution and I like how Remu resolved her issues. I don't think Niji quite hit the landing, or at the very least it was bumpy.

I have to agree to me Azuki didn't consider Remu as a love interest once so them becoming best friends works for me. Remu and Meguru mend their relationship and become closer. Meguru and Azuki's resolution was quick but statisfying and even though Niji also has her own form of disgusting love a resolution at this point of the story would have felt unnatural after what she did.
In my opinion this has a good length for a reread maybe in a few months where I'm gonna enjoy the fluff.

What I don't like about this story is that to me both people interested in Meguru seem like predators. As in they love her looks and are really into troubled teens. Everybody is maybe unintentionally trying to get her into a new codependent relationship while she struggles navigating herself out of her last one.
Generally if I in my mind gender swap both women interested in Meguru this feels for some reason even more icky to me.

Gets chapter 14 notification, checks title: Cinema.
Reads the chapter: Absolute cinema.

Just one more chapter :’(

NOOOOOO OOO!!!!!!!
That aside, I'm content that we at least getting an epilogue after coming to great stopping point.

I'd rather this ends on a high note and stay a short but really sweet series than forcing drama at this point so the story can continue.

Worstcase Ai becomes her Kaede

I honestly was not ready to recognize that pool... but I did... After reading the credit page xD

I think the trade girl might be a trap

Edit: Since she isn't and I have some time let me explain why I thought that. My main point was that at that part of the story the merchant girl thought the heroine is married to a guy. So she would have to assume that the main heroin is straight. So in my mind trying to flirt with her only makes sense if she thinks she has a shot.
That is why I thought she might be a trap.

My guess is none of her parents are vampires and she's the product of an afair or adopted.

I don't hate this series but I find myself comparing it to twin cake and up until now I personally think twin cake is superior.

Also the names quite stupid, when I saw the manager on the first page I thought she could be the model. Also she's called cute in the second chapter by a stylist yet this story is called the model & the plain manager just drop the plain or substitute it with normie, middleaged or something that has nothing to do with her apperance. My bad if the name's translation didn't work in english.

^ honestly that still doesn't sound right. How do you explain the dark figure who killed sensei back then? Even if Tokiko lied about the figure, why did sensei still get killed, since he was only looking for the girls?

It looks like Tokiko's parents were killed and she ended up at the orphanage. It might be there are 2 curses at play: a curse to kill Tokiko and a curse to help her. The two curses result in the people around her dying.

It's weird that the curse is only super active now though. I wonder why.

I personally think the killer is her real father or real mother, Parents don't necesarilly have to die custody can be taken away from them.

Her real father was as far as I know only mentioned once in the flashback when her teacher was killed, at least I assumed she hadn't been adopted at this point.

The lets call it prototype was in my opinion more intressting than the actual version, two succubi falling in love with a possesive human would have been enough for a short but juiciy series.
In the acutal version it seems the author wanted to go the traditional route of two childhood friends falling in love and a traditional succubus being the bad guy. Now we have a human bad guy again and it's a prototype fuu girl, possesive as all hell and ready to use anything at her disposal so she can to get what she wants.
In my opinion the author wanted fuu to be the stereotypical nice childhoof friend so the possesive nature of her original character, which was well intergrated and belivable, was taken and made into a new character.
Now Fuu is less of caracter. Same for the new girl.

Shounen like time skip arc coming soon. The next time they'll see each other both will have improved their skill immensly.

That was a good ride.

Absolutely sad to see it go also the romance was a bit lacking but what to expect of a comedy series like that.
Still very enjoyable read would definitely recommend this one

I have two problems with this series, I don't like either of the main characters and I don't have any idea why I should like them.

Happy very late birthday

I really love absurd comedy (btw I myself always called it nonsense humor after watching nichijou, mainly because this description works in german as well). I watched and very much enjoyed stuff like nichijou, danshi kokosei no nichijou, pani poni dash. I even bougt the helvetica standard manga when I was in japan but this is nonsense humor I don't get, I never was that big with memes so thats obviously a part of that but I gave this a chance because I normally enjoy this genre so much. I read the manga when it was first uploaded on this site and I tried watching the anime both are in my opinon disappointing at least compared to also in my opinion way funnier crazy japanese comedies

I have the time now so I started rereading all my favourite yuri manga on dynasty and this is the one I'm looking foward to the most of all the yuri manga I like this one the best. Mostly because it's good in every aspect I hope for while reading manga in general. The story is sweet and heartwarming, the characters are interesting and fun, the comedy is adequate (as in I enjoy it very much, but that might be a bias as I said I love this manga) and there's yuri as well.

As I was rewatching random lucky star episodes today I immediately wanted to revisit this doujin again

In my opinon the best kono x kaga story out there at least of all I read so far

The main problem here is not the manga's structure, but people not getting said structure. If you go in with the assumption it will follow the "main pair" as the central driving plot you just misunderstand the point. Shiramine and Kurosawa are the framing device that holds the narrative together, but ultimately it is a story that follows relationships at the academy.

I'd argue that not being able to follow the plot is not because I'm stupid but it's because the author didn't even try to make it clear. If for example there was a clear pattern like one chapter of a volume about the main couple and the rest of the chapters are about the other main couples or if the chapters about the other main couples would be side chapters like in comprehensive tovarish.
This doesn't read like one plot this story reads like a compilation of short stories with an excuse to link them together.
Also because of the huge focus on side characters the allegedly main couple didn't get enough development in my opinion.

It's a cute manga and i'll probably keep reading but man this story feels like I've read it a thousand times already at least up to chapter 3.
the mermaid was most likely somebody who saved her while she was drowning, maybe a suicide attempt
the teacher might be a relative or the first person who was nice to the blonde girl you know basic stuff
hopefully this will surprise in some way or I'll forget about it in no time

feels good to finish this after all those years and in my opinion it was worth the wait although I'm sad it had to end early. Man this could have gone places, could have been one of my favorites of all time but the good but kind of week resolutions to the couples in the manga means it's not one of my all-time favorites but it's still a real cute and good shoujo ai manga

I'm very happy that there's a new chapter out for this but now I also want new chapters for the other manga I thought was abandoned like holy girls paradigm or comprehensive tovarish.

Thanks for the chapter though and please finish miniature garden cosmos I need closure.

This picture sums up this manga perfectly. The main characters are in the middle which makes it seem that they might be the main focus of the story but if you look at the picture as a whole you notice that the side characters make up about 80-90 % of the drawing.

I don't despise this manga but keeping myself from dropping it after the story got sidetracked so hard that I midway through the manga forgot who the main characters of this story were was hard. I wouldn't mind if the story was about the school rather than shiramine and kurosawas relationship or if the sidestories were actual side chapters.

This manga really started of strong with two good leads and a not very unique but interesting enough setup for their relationship but it diluted into an utter mess of sideplots and sidestories that have little or nothing to do with the main story except the fact that they go to the same school.

I really liked the early chapters but the ending was weird as fuck. Also the blond former spy girl just vanished...
