Sometimes I come back and re-read Chapters 15 & 17, because I need to.

Same. Except I re-read the whole thing. A shame the author has all but vanished. I really liked their work. So much potential. Maybe one day.

This series has just got the AXE. It ends on chapter 19 I believe. Just read the official twitter and manga authors accounts. This is an alarming trend when it comes to... certain types of Yuri. I hope that it's just a coincidence.

My Sister's Best Friend, My Lover also just got the AXE. I think a few other Yuri works as well.

I'm not going to speculate (here) but... it seems a lot of Yuri works with a certain tone have been getting the axe. A real shame because even if it's not the best having a lot of diversity is really nice for us Yuri lovers.

I see absolutely zero chance of "poly". Honestly thank goodness. It would just not make any sense, also tbh I dislike it.

Well if the poly disliker forecasts a 0% chance of poly, then it can't be helped I suppose :(

Aren't you just cute as a button.

Here we go again...

*Off-topic but is your Avatar from "The Blue Star on That Day"? If so, you have extremely good taste.

Really need to re-read that pronto.

You can't say zero interest after this page -- not to mention the "doki" sound effect here. You can't even use the excuse that Nanjou is just surprised or embarrassed because this is like the 100th time Riri has confessed to her.

Now, is this definitive? Of course not, it's only three pages. I still think Nanjou/Nurse and Riri/Uda are the most likely side pairings. But those pages exist for a reason; they're setting up something.

Yeah, this leads into my statement about how she used her "wish" to get her to notice her. In my head maybe having finally gained security from knowing the Nurses feelings (without saying it), she has let her guard down and now doesn't act coldly to Riri when she confesses, who she cares a lot about (as a friend). Before it was just annoying her, now it's probably sweet or flattering to her. When she was feeling insecure it probably hurt a lot to constantly have her remind her how her love wasn't reciprocated. Maybe I don't know.

Also blushes and Doki's are literally nothing in manga lol. Still, I get what you're saying and it's pretty obvious the author intended this to stir up debate. Which is ultimately always a good thing Imo. It's fun. Even dragged me a lurker for YEARS out.

Also, I would like to mention now if I sound combative it's not my intention.

I'm really not seeing how people think Nanjou will reciprocate in any way to Riri. To me she is 100% fully devoted to the Nurse (forgot her name) and has shown zero interest in Riri romantically. Not only that, the nurse is 100% into Nanjou. I mean did anyone questioning the ship(s) actually read the last chapter before this? They both are totally smitten (Nurse+Nanjou that is) and Nanjou CLEARLY isn't into sharing her love.

Uda has no feelings (romantically) towards Nanjou, not even a hint and has proven to be very jealous over others getting close (ribbon arc). Rriri has been pretty adamant about Nanjou loving only her, even going so far as badmouthing the nurse.

To me the most logical thing will be a massive confrontation between the three (Nanjou, Riri, Nurse), or something that launches Riri into a wave of depression. Or maybe even a final heart-to-heart talk between Riri and Nanjou that will give Riri closure (this is probably most likely as it fits the theme of the manga). I see absolutely zero chance of "poly". Honestly thank goodness. It would just not make any sense, also tbh I dislike it.

I would also like to point out Riri's wish for Nanjou to notice her just once. Just as Uda used her "once in a lifetime" wish, Riri used hers. This further supports my hunch that they will have a heartfelt talk and resolve things. In any case the wait resumes.
