I'm so happy for them! Excellent location for a fist kiss too. Not sure why, but the way water and land meets on a sandy beach is a really nice metaphor for a kiss...

Thank you for your service, noble gull. While you have been troubled in your youth, as fellow sailors we have seen this ship from sea to port, and now we can find peace at last. Amen.

AWW DAMN, I just now realized why that panel was there! I completely forgot about the initial premise. If it turns out to be true, then I hope this whole work doesn't get spoiled by the tags

So very red. :D

Damn, Shou really can be smooth sometimes.

Spotted an OrangePekoe in the Special Thanks

Spotted an OrangePekoe in the Special Thanks

Not the first time either.

Shou is smooth AF and she probably didn't even mean for it to hit Umi so hard like that haha.

And then we let the little (les)bean sizzle in her gayness for a bit and we're done

Certainly, considering that question mark on the last panel. :D

soooo fluffy i want more

I love it so much. T-T

I wonder if the drama in the next volume will go really hard, or if it'll just be a minor inconvenience

Reading this again, I noticed some things I initially missed.

It seems to me like the "Mermaid" that Segawa is talking about here is actually Koumoto.

1) Her talk about the "person I like", and the mermaid being "surrounded by friends", fits much better with Koumoto than the mermaid that supposedly represents her mother.
2) She starts to get emotional after Ibu openly hates on her in front of Koumoto, something we see to be a sore point for Segawa later on.
3) This scenario mirrors how Segawa tried to distance herself from Koumoto after encountering her bullies, feeling she's not good enough for Koumoto

It really lifts up this later scene for me even more, because Koumoto here is just doing what Segawa was already doing earlier on; pretending she's not talking about her feelings for the person right in front of her.
