Reeeally liked this one!!! :D
I'm ok with an ending without kiss or them becoming a couple.. felt a little more realistic..

i liked this a lot,
i'm sad only for one thing, perhaps the tag "yuri side couple" was more right; few yuri developments for the MC, but it's ok all the same

I sincerely love this manga and its dense tsun-tsun of a heroine :D

And yes, Fujiwara, that will do...for now :3

Lot's of yelling for the finale, heh. Pretty satisfying to see these two get back on their feet. Fujiwara made a couple adorable faces in this chapter lol, I guess this is the one chance we'll get to see her looking vulnerable.

I think Suga could have gone a bit more psychological with the drama if he'd had more page/chapter lengths...or else gotten more time for that casual banter which made the start chapters so great. It really is such a shame this couldn't have been serialized a bit longer. Still though, I think we can at least trust that this series will give us a satisfying conclusion. I'll be looking forward to the final/extra chapter.

I'm also curious to know about Suga-sensei's prospects for work after this series. Now that Tsubomi has shut down, I guess to do more yuri he'd have to find a different publisher? Do we know how the closure/transition has worked out for some of the other Tsubomi authors? In any case, I definitely hope we'll see more from this mangaka.

Suga still has Clumsy Takumi-chan (which incidentally is quite good) running. Not yuri but he won't starve and the moderate success of Notes should give him a foot in the door if he wants to do another yuri work somewhere I think. Most other authors that did serializations in Tsubomi are either already well established or have things running in other genres. Oneshot authors on the other hand...

ends? . .seriously . .. no kiss?. . its not a happy ending . .

@Silverkanu bosom buddy means A very close friend or in a long definition "An intimate friend; a really kindred person to whom you can confide your inmost soul which is Very hard to find, they are friends that are inseparable like bosoms which is another word for breasts on the body.Just like two real breasts are close to each other and usually seen together, Bosom Friends indicates that those two friends have an extremely close relationship, they are rarely seen apart, and the bond between them is very tight like the bosom"
i wish i have a bosom friend too. .sigh .

Sigh.

While this may be the last regular chapter, the series isn’t quite over yet. There are still over 30 pages of extras to go which will expand on the ending and include another Shinobu x Asuza subplot, among other things.

Oh the ending LOL
Imagine if Fujiwara tried taking their relationship further again
F: Yuri, I know we agreed to be bosom? friends but I was wondering if we can maybe be a bit more...exclusive?
Y: Oh you don't mean....
F: Yes?
Y: Super Duper Uber Best Bosom Friends ForeverX1000!!!!

Thanks Yuri Project for bringing us this awesome series and good luck on the extras!

Blushing Fujiwara is cute...

The only thing that annoyed me was how clueless Yuri was at the end... Buuut, I'm not surprised.

I WANT THEM TO USE THEIR FIRST NAMES IN THE EXTRA. AND I WANT FUJIWARA TO MEET SHINOBU AND AZUSA. AND I WISH THEY WOULD KISS AT SOME POINT. AND SUGA BETTER DO MORE YURI.

Canceled due to tracing? Fuck yeah.

And this is part of why my love for American comics is gone. In Japan, you even get accused of tracing, you're done. In the US if you're caught blatantly tracing, you're the hottest name in comics (yeah, I'm looking at you Greg Land).

With that said, I've got to agree with the last few posts, this whole "End the story on the confession" is getting old. That's why Prism was such a great read, because it went beyond that and showed the ramifications of being gay (especially in Japan).

And its not like its subtle at all, you can literally type in the word "crying girl" and find that traced image on the first page of google, im one of those few artist's out there that doesn't draw people from reference and instead learn proper anatomy instead of swipeing someone's stock photo and expecting people won't find out.

Disappointing end, bonus chapters or no I feel like I've read this this ending a bunch of times before. I have a hard time believing anyone could be that oblivious when there "friend" invites them into a lesbian relationship while pinning them down on a bed... i mean i figured that would come up in the ending but not even a thought bubble.

Just like any other movies/stories/dramas in Japan, this manga had left off a fast ending that leaves the audience imagining the characters' life after such event.
/sigh
It was really nice anticipating for this manga though :)

At least he traced a Stock photo, Greg Land gets paid about $500 a page to trace everything from porn to movies like Troy.

The more I read over this one, the more disappointed I am in it. It seemed cute at first but I've gotten so tired of the oblivious love interest trope. It's like manga characters, especially in yuri seem to not only catch the Idiot Ball, they make sweet sweet love to it.
