So cute!

Real talk, susie would eat the mistletoe

Im manifesting this for chapter 5 or whenever the festival happens. They're too darn adorable

FYI you can't just blow into a trumpet or most brass instruments to produce sound, you gotta buzz your lips. Took trombone for 3 years and was damn good at it too. Unfortunately I was a stupid little shit back then and thought switching to sax would make me seem cooler. It didn't.

Guess you could say the switch wasn't a saxcess

[Insert sad trombone sounds here]

Real asf, but maybe shes just a natural at it? My first band teacher used to just throw instruments at kids at the beginning of the year and see what sticks. Proper embouchure can be taught later lol. Also I felt that with the unfortunate instrument switch, I really wanted to play trumpet but got stuck on the flute cuz that was the only thing I managed to get any sound out of. Ended up loving it cuz music is great but ye.

I feel like everyone is just glossing over the fact that Nakanishi said that she'd give up on pursuing Kaede. Like yeah she's not giving up her feelings or anything, but now the ball is in Kaedes court and as long as she just choosing to do nothing and/or distance herself a bit it should be fine. Honestly, I really do think Kaedes approach to the situation may have been the kindest approach considering all of the characters perspectives. And considering that Kaede is portrayed as a bumbling idiot half the time, it kinda makes sense how she can gloss over such an important detail. All in all I am really loving the story so far!

Thank you for the PSA!!!

Honestly I think what this chapter was trying to show was the headspace that Komihi is currently in. To let her know that everyone has her back and she's free to enjoy her date with Erika to the fullest. So you know she's gonna give it 1000% effort. Can't let the homies down after all their hard work. Can't wait for the next chapter!!!

God I love this chapter so much. The art is sooo pretty and I love how the author draws them as kids. I just wanna squeeze youzis lil cheeks and give caicai a big hug and pat on the head. Im shipping them together so hard rn. "I met the sun," might as well have been an internal proposal at this point.

^^ Here for my yearly LuSev trip. Love this piece, they're so soft for each other I love it. Also, you might never see this Swag wagon but you got me to read Sing for Absolution which I'll be forever grateful for. The fic was sublime (here's me manifesting more chapters).

This is reminding me of another comic (I think about sal jiang?) about loving older women. I can't remember where I saw it though

^ I can't unsee it now...

Nice!

Does it need a student x teacher tag? I dont know the anime but it reads like a teacher and student

No student x teacher here unfortunately! Sayo is a bit older than Tsugumi so a lot of stories like to explore their dynamic of Sayo being either in college or being a working woman while Tsugumi is still in school. Not sure what exactly the situation is here but it's lovely regardless. Love a proactive Tsugumi :)

Love the warning "This book does not have a cool Sayo" hilarious! This has my ideal SayoTsugu dynamic, they're so lovey-dovey in a relaxed way. I love the thought of sayo having someone she can truly relax around and be slightly goofy in love with.

SAYOTSUGUUU!!!

God bless the scanlators and people bringing us SayoTsugu in the year of our Lord 2025. I'm so happy! Also that last page about saving12 pages of Tsugu only just admitted she took a goddamn picture was hilarious.

Now this is the real Yuri on Ice

I'm so happy I've been rereading all the sayotsugu doujins. God bless this happy couple lol

I'm so in love with how the story is going, so excited to see how it ends!!!

hmmm, so romance probably wouldnt be fitting for this one. it seems more like a budding friendship between two (one's slightly bashful, the other's entirely stoic) teenage girls. even going by the undertones (best friends also talk daily and seek each other out in a crowd of people), it doesnt seem like this will develop into some sort romance, sadly.

great way to end the volume, im definitely interested in buying the next one and continuing to support the author.

I'm thinking the love hasn't bloomed yet, but we'll see.

An awful lot of blushing just for “budding friendship,” I’d say.

Sakura blushes quite a bit, even when she's conversing with people she's hardly familiar with, like Hinata, for instance. and i feel Takamine blushes when she gets embarrassed, which happens quite often as her relationship with Sakura has revealed, even to herself, that she's inexperienced with many social cues and interactions, which isn't hard to believe coming from teenagers, because again, they're teenagers.

if it weren't for the one-shot (where Takamine lit up like a christmas tree), id write this off as another 'best friend' manga. im currently 60 chapters in into another manwha that has pretty much same vibes as this but there is no indication of romance, just an insane amount of closeness and lots of blushing. if you're curious what manwha im referring to, it's Her Mountain, Her Ocean.

I am happy to report that the manhwa you're reading gets a stamp of approval from the Yuri gods. As someone who's read the novel, albeit through an unreliable probably MTL translation, the ending is definitely romantic and super sweet! Warning, don't read the last like 3 extras tho.

That manhwa looks interesting. I’ll likely start reading it, but I’m curious about the last 3 extras. What’s wrong with them? I’m okay with being spoiled in this one specific case. Thanks!

Went back reread the extras I was talking about, they were a lot better than I remembered, Basically it just randomly places the mcs in a death game post apocalypse world where they have to survive. Super random but it still has a sweet ending I must've gotten it mixed up with another story's extras. Apologies for the mix up!

SAYOTSUGUUU!!!! I just fell to my knees at a Walmart seeing this.

Out of all the stories I'm really loving the first one! It's so intimate and I love how it doesn't focus on the movement but lack thereof. Just being in your partner can be super overwhelming and especially for someone's first time you don't want to just jump straight into rough housing. Love how the artist made it both sensual and adorable at the same time. Super cute mayakuro content across the entire work though!

Love bokita but this was also lovely, really enjoyed their dynamic and how supportive sasaki is to bocchi!
