By other way. Wasn't it the year in which Kase would be released on a printed English version? O:

Feels like we're reaching the end and the chapters are both too short and have too many ellipses to my taste. Makes me wonder if the author is rushing to finish this. ^^;

Well, at the same time, I'm not sure if there would be a reason to drag out the two to three months between Exams and College with more Yamada angst about "will I pass or not" if Yamada anda Kase weren't going to make any huge relationship changes in that time and it was instead going to happen during the college era.

It's not the same length as the December to September timeskip American

^ Totally agree.

It's so cute to see them in college. It' s REALLY rare to see a yuri manga in which the characters get older together, I hope Takashima keep with it and show us a new development for them. C:

If anyone is still waiting to give Supergirl a shot, now's your chance. Honestly the coming out story throughout these past 2 episodes have made me shed tears and resonated with me so dearly, I can't quite describe it but I've never seen it so well done on television.

And you can bet your ass that this storyline is going to continue throughout this entire season so don't miss this if you want something refreshing.

She's a main character by the way so she's in every episode.

Just for that, I will have to give it a chance. c:

I think people who like WDTS just for Sumin and Sungj or for "the sex scenes" just want entertainment but I think there´s more in the story to just focus on those things.

I think the cheating going on is much too complicated and important to this story to dismiss. I also don't think either instance of cheating degraded the story. It raises interesting questions seeing Seju cheat on Sumin even though there was commitment there. Same goes for seeing Sumin cheat on Seungji. What does it take to make people who are already in loving relationships cheat? What kind of values must one hold to take someone who cheated back? Do any of the characters presented have the capacity to love without somehow hurting someone else?

If you choose to view it like that the story gets pretty philosophical.

This is exactly how I see this story. And I thinks that´s the reason why people don´t like it. Because it´s not about the over-romanticized love stories we often see in media. I think this story is more like watching an alternative film rather than a comerccial one.

I´m not reading this story for a "happy-healthy-relationship" just like other fluffy stories (which I enjoy and appreciate ), I read it because it explore other perspectives of what a relationship can be. WDTFS shows things that other yuri products don´t. Things like "Women can cheat, be selfish, lusty, lewd, make mistakes, etc..." And I think that´s the importance of it.

I know, it has it´s flaws and mistakes like Dawoon arc and the sudden change of attitude of Sungji and definitely it´s not going to be the "yuri of the year" but it has it´s own good things.

That´s because I don´t get why people try to judge it as if it was "supossed to be fluffy" or something.

But well, let´s wait for the next charapter to see what happen. :D

Series has been dropped by CXC due to the license. One more chapter that's already finished will be released, after that they won't release any more. https://cxcblog.wordpress.com/2017/01/07/2017-project-status/

Sad, but fair.

Yep but when you live on a Country where Dollar costs 20 more times than your country´s coin... that´s kind of sad and frustrating. u_u

Well, the whole thing about Dawoon and Sungji felt way too cliché and more like a filler rather than a real part of the story. Leaving aside that issue...

I think that the relationship between Sumin and Seongji is changing. It´s too early to say that they are becoming a "better" couple. But what I can tell is that they are changing their dynamic.

Some people said "Well, they are together now so let´s move on". But that´s not the point here. They have just made up so they still have lot of things to do to develop their relationship. Things like real trust and getting to know each other for real. Sumin will have to open her heart for Sungji and start having a “healthy” relationship without all the drama she had with Seju and her ex´s. As for Sungji, she will have to mature within their relationship. Understand that Sumin is not perfect and make mistakes all the time. (because she seemed to idealize her a lot).

As for the sex scenes on the last charapter… the story had been like this from the very beginning, then why suddenly go crazy about it? Yeah, it was totally blow-minding to see Sungji being "in the mood for sex" but I don´t think It was like “plain porn”. As far as I can see, it was not "just sex". Sumin was actually thinking and caring about Sungji. Making sure Sungji feels confortable and loved during the act. It was more like making love but also fighting with their mixed feelings about their separation (Sumin) and that suddenly encounter (Sungji).

And, as it has been pointed out before, sex can help develope relationships. It´s such a good way to get to know each other in ways that you could never do just by talking .And making up by having sex is a common thing in real life pairings. (Of course if it´s healthy or not is another issue that depends on how the couple moves on from it)

Also, we cannot forget that this story wasn´t mean to be fluffy. It had always showed up more realistic characters. Always showing them making mistakes and having flaws. So It´s not fair to judge it as the "Worst yuri manwha ever" just because it doesn´t follow the “classical yuri manga” development. Full of blushes and fluffy things…

So glad to see them again. I hope the next volume gets College

I hope so.

As for Yamada's sexual life. I think she just needs time to discover her sexuallity. Though,I won't complain if she ends up not having any sexual dessire. I would just feel sad for Kase, since she seem's to be really into having sex with her.

Also, thanks for the charapter. Your work is really appreciated. :D

Ok, Shuninta sure know´s how to let her imagination flow~

I liked it but what I really want to read is another manga about the yuri authors hanging out together. I remember reading a comic in which various yuri authors went to a bar...but I cannnot remember the name of the story neither the name of the author DX. However it would be great to read a comic like that from Shuninta´s point of view. I bet it would be as hilarious as this story.

It was very easy to see how it would end, but that didn't make it any less enjoyable!

I was just mentioning in the IRC that there's really nothing original about this, the enjoyment is more about how well it's executed. Like listening to someone perform an old standard, you know the content already but it's still worth your time for the performance. In this case, I like the airy quality of the art, it reminds me of Konno Kita's stuff.

As to the actual story, it's basically a mix of Graffiti, as others have mentioned, and The Cherry Tree Correspondence. The story of the latter was pretty obvious too, but I still liked it.

That's yuri! Ever read 40 Years of the Same Damn Story by Erica Friedman? It's a short article about the main core of yuri, though yuri has grown and changed quite a bit lately. But, one of the main draws of romance fiction is it's predictability, not it's originality. You read it seeking out certain experiences you want to go through!

I´ve been thinking the same thing. We read love stories not because it´s originality but because we want to experience certain kind of emotions.

As for this story, I enjoyed every part of it. <3 Also, thanks for the link to Graffiti. It´s always good to re-read something as cute as this. <3
