These two are so cute together

This selective use of colour and first person perspective nearly killed me dead.

Then seeing A-Chad in the credits made me laugh out loud

That credits page made me laugh for too long. Ai-chan is truly the chad of this chapter

I know every relationship is different but this couple seems much less...mature compared to others. I mean yeah they are still in high school but their relationship seems to go back and forth more than the others with no tangible development.

I'm getting a little worried with these close-ups and colored pages. Makes me think the series might be wrapping up soon and these are serving as pseudo-finales to the relationships. Also, the credits page just being a close up of chad Ai was perfect.

They're not developed enough? What are you talking about?

If you go back to the beginning of the manga, their relationship has really grown. They're dating now, when before there was hardly any development. I'd say Ayano and Miyoshi are the ones that seem to have far less development.
Ai and Chie have really changed from the start of the manga. It's wonderful seeing them grow.

As for the manga ending, I hope we have a few more years left. There are still a couple of relationships and character arcs that I want to see completed.
I'm crossing my fingers for several more years.

We could get an "unofficial" epilogue thinbook where Ai and Chie get married and spend 19 pages consummating their new life together.

He's been adding colour inserts for over a year now, so seems doubtful.

BOOM

best ship with yet another best chapter <3

Megachad attacks again

I got nothing to say but

I've decided to reread this, and it's honestly kinda wild how different it is now from when it started. Like, in chapter 1 Miyoshi and Ayano just dry hump each other and are flashing each other constantly, and then there's everything with the S&M couple. But now it's way more wholesome than lewd and I'm all about it tbh.

By pages six I was “there better be a motherfucking kiss or I am flying to Japan to explain a few thing to Kishi with a baseball bat.”

Seriously, these two are my fav couple.
(Ai x Chie)

As I read it, I was uncertain if that kiss actually happened . . . it was like she imagined being kissed and then a moment later we were back in laughing-off-the-question territory.

We know for sure because of the sfx

I just need more Ai x Chie moments. Ai x Chie stan all the way, ever since the early chapters. I've read the Ferris wheel part over and over again. Best moment for me!!
