Ano Koro no Aoi Hoshi - Vol. 6 Ch. 17.2

I understand that Shou is super afraid of coming out, but I get so nervous that if they dont come out eventually they're gonna BE outed instead. Which will probably be much worse. That teacher definitely seemed to suspect what was up at least.

It isn't super clear why they get so flustered by the second kiss, but the way one panel shows Shou's knee jerking back (or up perhaps) and then Umi pulling back makes me think there was some accidental touching that might have bordered on tribbing.

That would definitely explain why they both spend the rest of the chapter in a perpetual state of blushing; if you accidentally rubbed up against your girlfriend's groin unintentionally, you sure would be embarrassed.

I'm most surprised that Shou had such strong feelings on the matter. I wonder why. It's not like she cares what people think. Well, she does, but I mean, she doesn't care enough to change her behavior, so this shouldn't be any different.

She might be trying to protect Umi from her friends' potential response.

I concur with this view. Rereading back the earlier chapters, it appears to be Umi who's more terrified of people finding out that she likes girls, tho she did asked a weirdass question to one of her friends.

Shou seems to fear her own weirdness affecting Umi's overall rep with her friends, Shou had few times pointed out that Umi has many friends, hence Chap 13 where she sort of suggested a break-up thinking Umi is better off without her. Shou wasn't bothered that they are both girls.

The girl in Shou's room had repeatedly commented about how Shou keeps seeking out Umi, which likely made Shou more self-concious about her being with Umi.
