By the way:

...

So it was a tan after all, not her natural skin color. Sigh. Someone give me back the time we wasted debating it.

Alright so the author just doesn't know how to draw a tan that clears that up I guess.

Haha didn't know there were peopz who thought Mari's tan was her natural skin color. I just expected it seeing as she's japanese(even if mangas/animes are super colorful in most cases) and a sporty track and field girl. Lots of mangas draw those kinda characters with a tan

Btw love how Ayano x Miyoshi are progressing, Miyoshi clearly knows it wasn't fingers on her lips ;D

There was a long discussion about that. The problem was, I think, the absence of tan lines at the right places. I mean, you don't get stark naked to do track and field practice... right? You wear at the very least shorts and a top - so you should get tan lines from that! And yet, her skin seemed to be the same dark shade all over. That's why there was some speculation that brown was her natural skin color.

And, well... as it turns out, it was a tan after all. ¯⧹_( ͡~ ͜ʖ ͡°)_⧸¯

I like Ai and Chie couple the most, and I’m waiting for some development from Kanae and Haruka...

This doesn't even make sense as a rebuttal you're just being an ass for the sake of it.

Hm...I want to like it, but this manga always has this "enough playing around, time to find a husband" vibe for me. At least with most pairs.

On the contrary, it plays with the trope I think.

It's like the characters are lying to themselves by talking about boyfriends and husbands, and the readers know it

And anyway, I doubt we will see them grow up into adults.

Or they will become like the girls in Maka-Maka from the same author.

It sure is.

You do realize all these girls are high-schoolers, right? Old enough and pretty enough to find themselves some boyfriends any time they want... right?

If they were at all interested, they would be talking all the time about boys, going to goukon parties, etc. etc. We'd have a group of girls like in Holy Girl Paradigm -- where the two MCs are the only ones in their class who aren't crazy 'bout boys.

And anyway, I doubt we will see them grow up into adults.

Or they will become like the girls in Maka-Maka from the same author.

And here's the conclusive argument. We're talking about the author of Maka-Maka. He doesn't do "enough playing around, time to find a husband" stories. As @drpepperfan said in the very first message of this thread, what Kishi Torajirou does is cute, ecchi, realistic, beautifully drawn yuri. Nuff said.

On a different subject:

Am I the only one who thinks Yumimi is doing abso-fecking-lutely everything she can to get Nononon to be brave and confess her love???

I mean, look at her: the things she say, the things she does, her attitude, her body language... heck, she's sending signals like giant neon signs!

I think the author does a good job of having a mix of relationships.

Some are just friendships
Some of them are definitely just the like class-s intense friendships / preparing for eventual heterosexuality stuff.
Others are more like sexual exploration, but maybe not romantic
And then you got some just full-on gay romance, too.

I think that's an interesting approach to the yuri/class-s "it's a girl's school, so everybody's gay for now" setting.

I don't think it cheapens actual homosexuality, it just recognizes that there's a variety of experiences. Like the class tacitly understands that Ai and Chie's relationship is serious in a way many of the others are not.

Or then there's stuff like chapter 104, where Ayano would plainly be OK with dating Miyoshi for real, but Miyoshi just seems to think of it all as just playing around.

I have the opposite impression, I keep feeling strange about Nononon because I recieve the opposite message!
It's strange, but I need more to convince myself that she's not just playing with her.

Hm... then, if I understand correctly, your impression is that Yumimi has realized Nononon's feelings -- and is playing with her, just to have fun?

Then our readings of the story are not so different, after all.
– Yumimi realized Nononon loves her, sends her "luv u 2" signals to push her to confess her love so that they can go out
– Yumimi realized Nononon loves her, sends her "luv u 2" signals to toy with her, just for fun, because she's a mischievous little devil
The only thing we don't read the same way is Yumimi's motivation... and that's something nobody can tell for sure, at least until the author reveals it to us. All we can do for now is speculate.

Ten chapters at the same time, normally I'd go wow
but they have all different dates of release, some even dated May 24
what went wrong with updates???

From what I thought, in my opinion Yumimi has realized, more or less implicitly, that she has power on her to make her embarrassed, or simply making her do what she wants. It might bring her to understand her feelings, but for now I don't know. Also, even in the translation group, I'm the only one with this impression, so I realize it might be just me, but for now I can't pull away this sensation. I'll wait for more chapters to make further judgments.

I asked many times for them to be uploaded on the dynasty, it seems there is someone specific that has this power.
