If your complaint about anything in this manga involves some variation of the phrase “it has been months” please either wait for the volumes to release or shut up.

It’s really tiring seeing you complain every week as if you’re not aware that you’re getting four pages a week for free and not a full serialisation sized chapter. It’s been this way from the start, if you can’t keep that simple fact in your head maybe read something else.
"It has been months" (or at least quite some time) in THEIR time, genius.
That's the point of it, not for us readers (well, also, but that's not the point) but for them.
Ongoing and never resolved / talked about issues just swept under the rug with a little chat, also chat that started by a "misplaced" proposal...not a bit of this is an healthy relationship, nor is a well developed resolution of drama

I was thinking about this some more after the last chapter, and I think it's kind of a valid point, but I also think it's... not so much at the same time? On the one hand the release schedule definitely does make the wait painful and makes it much easier to get annoyed at the cadence of the series...

... but on the other hand, as someone else mentioned, the last 20 chapters have jumped around a ton, and that's when it really crystallized for me - I don't think this would feel any less rushed and strange as part of a volume release because each scene is still only going to be 4 pages long. From one chapter to the next there's often not a lot of continuity, with the time / location / entire point of each chapter often changing radically, and I think the dissatisfaction that stems from that would still remain.

Anyway at least they talked briefly rather than just cut away completely. There's that, I guess.

The 4-page format was perfectly fine at first, but it really does not work for more dramatic storytelling. Everything post-timeskip has been very severely limited by it.
Basically this is where I'm at. Even were it combined into a volume the 4-page chapters would feel super weird at this point, I think, the amount they change scene and topic.

No, there are literally people in this chat and on damn near every other chapter’s chat complaining about “I waited months for this” or some similar line.
For this, i.e., for another chapter avoiding even trying to solve the drama.
Even half the complaints about the actual story are often taking what’s written so far, projecting it into the future and getting angry about how they think it’s going to go.
Because we saw the arc being written so badly before our eyes.
Some of of you would have sat in Michaelangeo’s studio, looked at a half finished David and complained how shit it was and how unfinished it looked.
False equivalency. This metaphor would work if you added, e.g., "and saw him giving David women's breasts".
If you don’t have the patience to see how things pan out then go away, you don’t need to subject everyone to your hate for the story you think is being written every week.
Again, it's not about how the chapters are released, but about how bad their content is.
Judge the arc when it’s actually finished.
It's just ended, and it's a steaming pile of shit, vide: my first response.

Okay okay decent salvation, we can recover from that fum-
FUUUUUUUUUUUCK

WAIT WAIT THE RECOVERY THOUGH-
The issue is addressed
Neither feel bad about it
Okay okay it's looking good, perhaps the first step has truly been taken

Though a swift conversation and I'll admit, there's feel of this one in specific being kinda rushed
They communicated for like the first time in forever
OH THE PROGRESS
I'm concerned it may not last though, since the incident still remains undiscussed and since it's still undiscussed
The blue Yuri remains on the table... I pray they didn't just slap a band-aid on it and call it good
You can try to be more honest but y'all gotta sit down and talk about what created the rift to begin with, THAT is when the relationship may heal...

Have a nice day though
Nice chapter
