This is a really refreshing read, I really like both MCs and the humor is spot on for me.

Can I dare to hope this manga gets a long run time?

I dunno about that. This chapter is pivotal because it demonstrates Shouko's own growing awareness of Yukari (this is the second chapter in a row she's asked Yukari about her love life). Yukari is a self abnegating INFP: very empathetic towards others, but also very timid and pessimistic, and prone to be hypercritical of herself. But in this chapter we see her giving Shouko a decisive nudge from brooding over her unrequited love, and its a short narrative distance between this point and blooming attraction between the two protagonists. This author seems little interested in padding out the story with cliched melodrama, so it isn't likely to be a long manga.

She did it! She did the thing! She said the title of the manga she's in!

I really like these two characters so far.

I appreciate how the story doesn't get dragged out by having Yukari do "stupid stuff" that will only hinder their relationship because of her social awkwardness. And since the story doesn't seem to be going the comedic route, I doubt she'll be doing any "stupid stuff" in future chapters. Although I'd love to see this have a long run time, if it continues at this pace I'd be very happy as well. Maybe we'll get to see them be more lovey-dovey this way.

painrecoldie reminds me of my favorite 'japanese' term, "menbure" aka mental breakdown lmao

This is a very sweet read so far; I hope to keep going with it

"Say that again"

Yukari concluded that she fancies Shouko so quickly that it makes me wonder if she already knows she likes girls. I didn't think too much of it in chapter 1, but she hasn't second-guessed herself about this since then. She's the type of person who thinks a lot about how she fits into society, so it would be a bit odd if she came to this conclusion so easily if she hadn't already thought a lot about this topic before. And this story is not set in a de-facto 'homo-normative' world (like SasaKoi is); Yukari herself assumes Shouko must have feelings for the same boy as Tenri, and she has not entertained the idea that Shouko could be in love with Tenri.

Oblivious extroverts are terrifying.

I could see Yukari giving fruitier recommendations in the future (Hanamonogatari, maybe?), which gets Shouko comfortable enough to reveal that she likes girls and that it's Tenri the one she's heartbroken about, not the boy.

I can see no other explanation than that she already knew, yeah; she certainly doesn't behave like Shouko is her first crush. For that matter, her realizing she's a lesbian might be one reason she became a loner (as we can see from this chapter she used to have friends).
