Oh my god they were roommates...

Her hair ....

AND THEY WERE ROOMMATES

dont they have a matching lock necklace ??? cuz if so thats so cute,,,

Well, it shouldn't be such a surprise because they graduated but I'm still so taken aback and happy that we get to see them like this.
And I love that it's with a callback to the fridge conversation of all things.

So... College/Adult life arc is a go??

Why would she be worried about her bringing a girl home? Saying roommate over girlfriend... I get the vibe they broke up but remained friends?

I wonder if they're living in Joe's house above the records store. I guess we'll know soon.

I'm...confused? This is our main couple right...? Sudden time skip and they're not acting like a couple...or what's happening?

Blastaar was right, if two girls don't carry a sign with "we're girlfriends" written on it at all times, there will be people who won't be convinced they're dating even after it's been explicitly spelled out.

Let's slowly go through it then. The first use of 'roommate' by Aya is there to narrate to the audience that her and Mitsuki's living situation has changed since we last saw them. Her assuming Mitsuki brought a girl home is a comedic reaction to Mitsuki being caught off-guard by Aya walking in while she's setting up the home theater because Mitsuki feels awkward about having bought it without Aya's permission. The second use of 'roommate' by Aya is said in this context because expenses like that should be managed by both. When Mitsuki acts cool to shake Aya's nagging off, there's a drawing of an arrow piercing Aya's heart, showing she loves Mitsuki no matter what. I hope this helps.

I don't appreciate your condescending tone, it's entirely unnecessary. For the record people, including myself, were happy to get a confirmation that they are a couple, we already knew they were a couple and thought the confirmation was nice to have. That's not a bad thing, especially as lots of media still avoids stating a relationship directly.

Also yes I understand that a couple can be roommates, the sudden time shift and jump in character designs was a bit jarring in my opinion, though not a bad thing. Also it's a shift in language that feels distant to me, instead of saying I'm living with my girlfriend now, the more distant terminology of roommate feels strange to me. If it's natural to you cool, you don't need to be rude about it though.

Roommates achievement got!

Right—so the people who were worried about the “divorce arc” turn out to have been right all along. That’s what this chapter is all about.

JFC.

Super cute, thanks for the link to the bonus art!

The literal sentence is 私にはいま、同居人がいる which means, translated literally, "As for me right now, there is someone living with me".

I just think it's to keep the next page a "surprise" by implying it may be someone else. Not to say that they broke up or something.

Thanks for the clarification, I appreciate it. I think I figured that they'd be living together so I wasn't looking at from an angle of surprise, and that was the source of my brief "huh?" moment. Looking at it from the angle of, you'll never guess who my roommate is!, helps and it's cute lol

Why would she be worried about her bringing a girl home? Saying roommate over girlfriend... I get the vibe they broke up but remained friends?

Why would the series do that? That's quite the leap. It's a reveal and joke setup with a punchline tied into one. That's all. But anyway, super cute chapter. I'm glad we're seeing them after high school.

Right? One of the repeated tropes of this series (a bog-standard one for SOL romance series) is that one of the MCs, usually Aya, feels a tiny bit of insecurity or a transient jealousy-adjacent emotion, and then Mitsuki blows it all away with a trademark mega-rizz moment for a super-cute resolution.

blue yuri is coming...

blue yuri is coming...

No don't jinx it T~T

Okay, let me wrap my head around this because I’m a bit confused. So, they graduated, and then the author posted her social media art showing the girls walking together, which seems to symbolize a new direction for them. Now, they appear to be living together, but there’s also a mention of bringing other girls home.

I have a feeling this might get complicated because earlier this year, the author shared posts about the yuri, where the colors kept getting darker, like the light green Yuri and the blue Yuri posts.

But then again, a few years ago, there was a post about them moving in together, so I wonder if, through these artworks, the author is giving hints about events that will happen with these girls.

That's certainly the intent, but let's be honest, it's weird. Both the "roommate" terminology, the "did she bring a girl home", and general presentation.

If you look back at the chapter it's clear a setup for a reveal of "surprise, the girlfriends are living together !"... But that setup is kinda forced and off.

The "did they broke up" questions are certainly taking it too far, but at the same time, the first two pages are not written the way you'd naturally write a "they're been dating for two years and everything is smooth sailing". Switch "I've got a roommate now" to "We're living together now" and "Don't tell me she brought a girl home" to "Did she bring a friend home" and there's no issue.

I mean, I get it. An author wants to add twists and surprises and emotional reactions from the readers. I'm just not too keen on how it was done in this chapter - telling the readers they're still together after the timeskip could have used a bit more seriousness rather than be revealed with a forced bait-and-switch.

No but the "roommate" thing did make me a bit concerned because I remembered Sumiko-sen drawing adult versions of them where Aya is crying a while ago and I'm like, oh no, is breakup arc real? But looking back at those, they had different adult designs than the ones we have now, so that's probably different timeline/further in the future

Also, since I was just in Instagram to find those, I saw that there was a single panel between the last chapter and the time skip (on twitter as well). For the uploaders, I think that it's technically part of the manga and should probably be included at the start of this chapter, or the end of the last. That single page would make the transition to adult life slightly less jarring, as I think it's supposed to signify "Moving Forward"

^ She had also drawn these designs a few months ago: https://x.com/agu_knzm/status/1936628584208294314

I wanted to see more kisses!!! xD but I'm glad they're living together
