The absolute madman just went and faxed a 50 years old flyer like it's nothing. Amazing.
Matsuri and Miss Sunflower had a date, got closer and now their bond is even deeper than before. All in all, a big win right here.
And we need that panel of Matsuri's heart shaped speech bubble as a reaction image.

I'm not crying yall are crying

Thanks as always for the update <3

Not that there was ever any question, but this chapter solidifies this being one of my favorite manga. Truly an amazing chapter.

I will say finding myself in tears because of this series was unexpected.

Ik,r? This is love. It may or may not be romantic love, but it’s nothing but love.

^Yup- but we cant say it ISNT romantic love either :) (for miss sunflower I mean- its pretty clear it is for Matsuri).
And nor do we know what it might develop into in the future- probably after the series ends.

This isnt really the type of series im expecting a definate yuri ending with- and as much as i'd love that, it isnt super needed either- as long as they are stil together and there is the possiblility of it going that way.

Amazing chapter, seeing Miss sunflower being so open and honest with Matsuri for a change!

The series is 13 volumes in total so there's still lots of room for more developments, I'm positive it'll be good :3

Oh my god it basically was a date.

This had to be the cutest chapter in the series so far. Matsuri has definitely broken through the walls Miss Sunflower has put up, and Miss Sunflower is clearly very happy about it.

I don't know how their relationship is going to end, but I am rooting for these two harder than any other burgeoning couple.

I seriously thought there might be a confession there

Matsuri is such a good girl. I wish for her happiness.
Ms. Sunflower smile is also very healing.
I am glad she is opening up more and more.

Can anyone spare some insulin?

It's really underrated. Such a gem

This chapter sure works hard to keep her real name hidden... :D

Gdi, they're so cute
I love how Matsuri and Miss Sunflower actually take their time to get to know each other, how they cherish and care for each other, how warm and gentle their relationship is. This manga has done a pretty good job of keeping its slow and relaxed pacing, while developing main character's relationship slowly and steadily.
It's been a pretty long, but nice and wholesome journey. Since chapter 1, Matsuri and Miss Sunflower really have come a long way...

^Pretty long? 11 years so far lol. I wonder if its the longest ever running 'yuri' series?

And that's just the translation, according to MAL the manga actually started publishing in 2009.

I agree with all of this, and I would even say that it’s not entirely clear that this series originally set out to develop along such serious lines as it has ended up doing. I recently re-read a big chunk of the beginning, and to me it feels like it first intended to be a (warm and gentle, always) episodic Cute Girls Doing Cute Things story, with the contrast between the nice but strict and stoical Miss Sunflower and the irrespressible genki girl Matsuri being the main point of interest, and with the romantic relationship that Matsuri desired seen as close to an impossibility—a sweet but mainly delusional aspiration by a juvenile Cloud-Cuckoo-Lander.

But eventually, as characters like Onii-san, Ayame, and especially the first Miss Sunflower were added, our Miss Sunflower’s emotional closed-off-ness was positioned less as an inherent aspect of her personality and as more of a problem to be overcome, and Matsuri’s thoughtful and diligent side became more developed. (It’s notable how thoroughly Matsuri thinks through Miss Sunflower’s possible reasons for coming to the book fair despite the age of the faxed flyer—as Matsuri would say, it’s because she’s always watching Miss Sunflower.)

I could be wrong, and maybe this series has always been playing a very long game. But although I’ve loved it from the start, I would not necessarily have predicted then that it would end up with the emotional depth that it has now or that the door to an actual romantic relationship between the MCs would be as open as it currently seems to be.

EDIT: In the notes to Vol. 5, the author says, “Originally I was aiming for two volumes,” so I guess it wasn’t always planned for the long game.

^^Damn, I just started reading a few months ago so I totally forgot this manga has existed for more than 10 years lol
I wonder if there are any old readers from the beginning, still here and follow this manga

^Yes- we are here lol - im sure there's more than me.

I think I read the first chapters before they were on DS too so it might of been as far back as 2009. It amazes me this is one of the earliest yuri series i started reading and im STILL reading it.

Hahaha, wonder if the magazine interview published her first love as a boy which is part of what threw the siblings off, on top of her practiced charm.

Someone's really on a roll with those releases ...

The gods have blessed us with more smol Yuu-chan-sensei!

"Author-sensei, I really admire your ability to make up stories! Please, tell us about your life."

You know I have the terminal gay because when I read this chapter and was confused at first why anyone would assume the first love was a boy.

Chapters with Yuu are always interesting.
Little Yuu is cute, a bit of a brat but cute nonetheless.

I love how Ayame just forgets that she's supposed to be mad for a second when confronted with Matsuri's pure positive energy :D
