The first chapter also didn't clarify. Damn CGDCT, because of them, now any not openly romantic yuri can look like SoL about female friendship. Well, at least this manga is as much Oshima-ish as I expected.
@FireCamp Well, i was looking in Google for some nice handholding meme, i found a funny looking image that brought me to Reddit and there i found that meme.
And i remember that unforgettable story because it happened just yesterday LOL.
daaaw the way they bicker but look after each other (at least from Kitase's POV) is a start of a lifetime friendship. I have a friend like that, and we bickered like crazy when we were in school, but to this day we're still solid friends and actually help each other out with no questions asked.
