Predicting the end right now.
Koyuki graduates, got a lot more confidence thanks to Konatsu and leaves the island to go to university.
There just won't be a romantic end to this manga. I don't feel it. The author has dragged their relationship on forever without much progress, can't see a surprise I love you end.

And that's why this will never be more than a subtext tag.

Edit: without much progress to the relationship, Koyuki has certainly had character development thanks to Konatsu

I also think it may end like that. But! I also hope that there will be an extra page in the last chapter showing that they are living together when they grow up. (An ending which doesn’t show that they are going out but we know that they are going out)
Let’s hope for the yuri end.

Ah! I don't want to get my hopes up. I have gotten baited many times before.

Every time I think, “This will be it. This will be the one that finally levels out and I can accept the subtext.” But every time they just.... fist clench Gay that shit up.

The side that enjoys reading this manga? (That’s my side.)

I mean everyone is hoping for the Yuri end, no triumph in defeat lol.

Pray to cthulhu that Koyuki grows some internal balls, kabedons the shit out of Konatsu in front of the assembled school and forces her to hold hands

Well, that's everyone, isn't it? I hope there aren't people who's overall enjoyment of it entirely hinges on how it will end.

@Batzi: Yeah, it wasn't a matter of hopes as much as one of expectations. I'm sure everyone hopes for a full-fledged yuri end, but as you can see, some people are expecting it while others seem already resigned to it not happening. I found it amusing that there were several consecutive posts on opposite sides.

It's not like an end can undo whatever enjoyment you got out of things before it happens, but a crappy end can easily leave me perpetually sour about a story. It's not necessarily about whether they end up in a relationship or not, but it just needs to make sense and be good.

And there's waaaay too much fiction that fails at being good and does some last minute stupidity. Even when you totally don't expect it.

Yeah, depends on the Manga. Sometimes it's all about the journey.
Tho I must admit I'm more likely to re-read things that end well.

I liked the journey here at the beginning, but it's starting to get tiresome when progress advances at a snails pace. Add that their school is advancing faster than everything else in this and I think you understand why people would be frustrated. The journey keeps dragging on, only to be cut short by school and leaving the MCs romance in shambles.

And the whole "I had to leave but IOU. Let's start a life after graduating" is sadly an all to common trope. This story would deserve better.

Still like the manga and will continue it till the bitter end

I understand and I also hope things will conclusively develop before Koyuki graduates. Still, there's a year and three months left before that happens and only six months have currently passed in-story and I feel like things have been developing at a nice pace so far. This chapter seems like a pretty important turning point for Koyuki's character if she's come to accept that it's okay to stop putting on an act in front of others, so hopefully from now on she can be more open with Konatsu as well.

Well if you put it that way ^^
I must admit I'm not all to familiar with the Japanese school system.
What is bothering me: there is nothing keeping them apart except themselves lol.
Literally every other character is shipping them, even their parents. They are stuck in their club room together, alone every school day. What do they even do on weekends? Dream of each other instead of inviting them over during club activities?
And all one of them has to say is "hey, I kinda like being with you".
And as a shy person I know that can be hard, but 6 months! And for 3 months they weren't even sure if the other party like them :')
Hell Konatsu even said that she liked her in the lizard story chapter and Koyuki was still questioning it. what else is she supposed to do girl, jump you?

They did go on that almost-date on the cat island during summer break and to the town festival afterwards. They also text each other frequently although it doesn't seem like they regularly hang out on weekends. I guess that they're busy with schoolwork since they spend every afternoon on weekdays at the aquarium club, which is where they're together most of the time. Personally, I hope one of their next steps is going out once casually without the pretense of club activities. Also, since next chapter releases January 26th (a painful wait that's going to be) and this one kinda had early Christmas elements, I wonder if it might be set around Valentine's Day.

Like most couples who aren’t couples yet. Not being confident in yourself and not knowing how the other person feels and being kind of scared to find out is a lot more common than being from rival feuding families or being forced into an arranged marriage.

Especially in high school.

The timeskip left me a bit disappointed, honestly. Last chapter ended with Koyuki wanting to talk to Konatsu about “tons and tons of things”, but it doesn’t look like there’s been much progress in that regard.

I wanted to see Konatsu’s reaction to the frog plushie, too, but since we don’t even know if Koyuki decided to give it to her, I wonder if it’ll come back later as a plot point.

Nah I think she gave her a salamander plushie instead, maybe she didn't want to be so direct hahaha, but yeah I wanted that.
