If there are still people that'll say "It's just friendship, there's no yuri" after this chapter, then I suggest you to check your eyes, 'cause there's definitely a big problem with them
Erika is down bad in the want-to-kiss-you way but it still seems to be set up for just 1-way unrequited yuri. Akebi loves everyone. Would be happy to be wrong though!
Nah, this scan group always (at least since I started reading) uploads after the next chapter already came out in japanese, so they are always one chapter behind (I feel like it's intentional cause the manga skipped a month in july and they still waited to post this)
