Cute chapter as always, but I wanted the friends to start questioning Umi when she started going on and on about love at first sight. IMO it was a missed oportunity to have a scene with her embarassed trying to explain why she knows so much about it while her gf is close by lol.

Umi needs a tall glass of Segawa's juice to quench that thirst because it's getting out of hand 🤣

This is my third time rereading the series. I absolutely love it. Also, how can it be so wholesome but also have this looming depressing vibe? The art underlines this feeling, too. I want Umi to make Shou as happy as possible. Heal that poor girl properly.

I wouldn’t quite say it’s an outright depressing vibe, but I have very much picked up on an underlying atmosphere of melancholy, and perhaps something like a slight wistful nostalgia? There’s definitely some general slightly sad vibe to it, even with the happy scenes and the romance being so innocently sweet, it’s still a lingering feeling that sticks with you.

There’s just something about this story that gives me the impression that you can’t put a tragic ending past it, and that definitely makes me uneasy. But, it’s generally quite well-crafted, and has something of a beautiful allure in spite of the ever present sensation of moroseness and longing… I guess almost like a siren (mermaid) song.

I’ve had this series on my planned reading list for a while now, and seeing the new update released today made me finally dive in and binge it all from the start. Now just comes the dreaded waiting game!

There's already been a few depressing moments. I was actually a little anxious after she left her original group since she was "breaking the rules" again but I'm glad nothing happened.

Was the reason they said the fisherman t-shirt suit suits Shou because fisherman word made from kanji for sea (umi) and person (hito)? An Umi-person, pefect description for her :smug:
