A lot of these manga also tend to just end after high school because the entire vibe changes after graduation, so they don't want to write new stuff with the couple.

Then again you also have funny series where the couple starts the series together but showing anything is so slow for like multiple volumes it's as if they're not together at all. Or the series where that follows the couple through a full ass decade but at the end they're still not actually a full couple, still roommates who are close but didn't breach the final wall or something.

True enough that will-they-won't-they romance drama can't carry that plot. At least not in anything that isn't depressingly toxic. Authors can pivot though.

We have some evidence that Kuzoshiro has threads to follow for that, authors often do. Ani no Yome was a case where after halfway through when it dropped all the queer stuff the college prep stuff also got streamlined. Versus many chill het romances build up sidecouples mostly after the main couple together and continue to graduation. After graduation is practically a relaunch though, even in Green Yuri. (a solid one, fwiw)

It looks fine. We got foreshadowing of a hell of a lot of interesting drama to follow a disabled lesbian setting up for college as the last of her hearing fails as predicted by her prognosis. Kanon has realistic ambivalence to sign and discomfort about situations that make her feel more disabled. Her mom is a well-meaning antagonist in that. Any sideplot buys space for more sideplots or sidecouples.

I don't expect a sudden ending. I think disability is going to get at least one more focal arc, a couple of volumes worth. But I also don't expect really meaty stuff I want like following major life change with a disability in a major city.

Idk, a lot of commenters for that one seem to think it's just lost the plot and hate that they can't talk to each other for real and also don't know what to make of the new characters.

Shuukura be like.

In the WN, they've graduated and are living together and do "stuff" from time to time, but they're not a couple as long as Miyagi doesn't acknowledge it.

Not sure the manga will ever get to that arc, its release rate is too slow.

 

[PsychoTheRabbit]

It would be sad if the story ended right after they get together, but honestly, even so, i dont want another drag with a misunderstanding between them.
I hope Saki dont chicken out, but even if she does i hope Kanon saves the day.

 

[Ruhaye]

I can see the finish line

A Room For Two really did a number on some people lmao

 

[slimenora]

considering the pace of this series i'm not expecting any real confession soon, but jeez it has already been 12 volumes huh.....

if it ends after the confession i'll be sad but it's what i'm expecting for sure. i'm so spoiled by how do we relationship but i know it's hard to reach that bar.

I still remember that. I was in Girls in Boxes when all that shit was happening. We were the scanlators for it then, and we kept telling people that we'd read ahead and it got really gay and nobody believed us.

tl;dr You should listen to the scanlator when it comes to stuff like this...

 

[Quaanxiii]

Damn...Saki looks so fucking beautiful in the last panel...

And Kanon being adorable

Is it really going to happen ?!!! Aaarghh i can't waitttt

 

[ohjeezdude]

Kanon cringing at all the gay things she's said to Saki made me laugh.

 

[MathMols]

So, uuuh...

This new comment system is throwing me off...

Anyway, I finally decided to do the half chapter. I also shuffled the fonts a bit.

Other than that, the "hint-dropping" thing in Japanese is slang for people who "hint" at things, like showing romantic interest, trying to grab attention to something or themselves, but without actually saying it directly and expecting the other party to pick up on it. Especially on social media.

Until next time.

Thanks for your work!

 

[WolfenLady]

No way Saki is going to confess first, it has to be Kanon going balls deep into Saki's closet to drag her out.

Now Kanon just has to realize she's not the only one that has been hinting.

That's an interesting way of putting things into perspective 😂😂

Yeah, I feel like 75-100 of Ani no Yome were wheel spinning to the extreme, but she reined it in and 100-end was good again. Wild that Heidi turned out to be the one character to keep it from jumping the shark completely.

But also, man... Green Yuri's post-grad arc is just not it, imo. It's jumping all over and just drama-bombing without any lead up. On the off-chance this one continues post-grad (I doubt it will), I think it'll either go the Kase-san route of the same tone/romance, but gradual maturing or the HDWR route of "we'll split, but then end back up together in the end".

 

[Hyacyon]

the commenting thing is dumb -- mangadex.org, guess you're not above this

BUT AHHHHHHHH YAAAAAAAAY MY GIRLS ARE GETTING THERE AHHHHHHHH KANON YESSSSS AHHH SAKI YAYYYYYY 😭

so happy and I cannot wait!!!

It's good to see different opinions. Green Yuri is a mess, for real. I just find it more interesting as a mess than how it ended the prior arc.

Ani no Yome was weird. The depression and codependency had genuinely heavy incest-crush subtext for around 90 chapters. On purpose. In writing, art, and splash pages. It had introduced Heidi as an interesting queer person, got a few more overt references to sexuality... then cut back drastically by the end of whatever behind the scenes happened in the wheel spinning period. No more big queer teases. Shino's inner turmoil cleared up fast, without a comparable subplot to replace it. Heidi was rarely used, not a regular cast member. Nozomi's plot seemed untouched thankfully. But the end result was safe compared to the edgy early tone. I doubt it was cynically queerbaiting but the story would have been better off if it toned it down sooner, or had the grit to get literal considering everything set up to fail.

mean cliffhanger 😭

I understand that people wanted something more "traditional", but the manga had two other couples that fit that mold. Couples that did get plenty of page time.

It still baffles me when people read it and their takeaway is that Kasumi is just using Sakurako or shit like that

People evidently don't want slow burn slice-of-life romance... IDGI...
But what really gets me is that we were literally telling everybody that YES THEY ARE REALLY GAY and I even posted a couple of screenshots of the JP raws and it literally changed nothing until we actually TL'd that part of the manga............
