To my knowledge, japanese people tend to look down on name puns, so maybe that's all there is to it.

Word play is commonplace in manga character names and titles.

Well, people tend to look down on manga, so maybe that's rather less contradictory than it first appears to be ;)

I also heard the mangaka previously drew yuri.

Indeed, it's right here on the site. Nailbat Madoka is a personal favorite of mine.

Still don't know what this manga wants to be, beside the story of a friendship.

Dad cheating bara incoming
This was actually a spin-off of Musume no Iede

I gotta say Konatsu is in friendship with her friend, Koyuki. And that's that!

Koyuki is about to confess her friendship.

but the only connection I can see that Nettaigyo (tropical fish) has with Amano Konatsu is the 'natsu' (summer).

There's no 'natsu' kanji in nettaigyo. You're probably thinking of the first one, 'netsu', which is pretty unrelated.

I'm sure the title is more symbolic than directly referential.

I've read somewhere it's a word play, nothing symbolic, don't remember where :/

This manga is so damn wholesome, it makes me want to put, I don't know, flowers in my hair. And I'm bald.

My feels precisely, excepted I'm not bald x)

omg why did she act like she was gonna confess her love to Koyuki SDASdasf???? LMAO
Tbh I really like this series, tho it will be better if it's not only friendship ;;
I love seeing them together ASDASDAWE PLS BE MORE YURI GIRLS

I didn't say there is :o
Summer and tropical are vaguely related, that's all I meant.

The dad is so cute lol

Just gals being pals while furiously holding hands

I dunno how many times people have repeated the same kind of statement, but

this "subtext" is pretty gay

this site calls Friendship, don't mind though, I'm savoring this friendship to the gills

The correct term is Girlship.

...isn't that KanColle and whatnots.

So gang, I think the 2nd best [1st Bloom Into You] ongoing Yuri deserves a shorter, more catchy name, how about YukiKoga?

Why does Yagakimi keep being brought up into this as if both series are even remotely comparable to one another?

It's like me saying Himawari-san is better than Ano Kiss. What is it supposed to accomplish? They're not even the same genre or type of relationships.

No that's Shipgirls.

this girlship story is at times frustrating, gentle and lovely.

Fair enough.

NetAreru, or NTR for short. :v

I believe you misread something, what I've said, in my yuri books, Bloom Into You holds the first place and YukiKoga follows

Fair enough.

NetAreru is not bad, but this short uggggh, give me chils

Tfw it turns out you were reading yaoi the whole time

In case someone's interested (and has a LINE), an official LINE sticker for Nettaigyo has been released :) It even features the stickers used by Koyuki and Konatsu in the manga (the penguin and the cat)
