Maybe this is too petty but I don't understand why the TL for Yuu hardly uses contractions. To me, in JP she speaks informally, somewhat terse or gruff even. The lack of contractions just makes her sound unfittingly formal and frankly unnatural.

Hi, translator here. My initial idea in Yuu's specific style of speech initially started with the goal of conveying her personality. In the first two chapters, which I planned from the beginning, she was rather direct in speaking with Haru, especially when making her requests. I think what stood out to me most at the time was her insistently asking Haru to form a musical group, and her very obvious invasion of Haru's personal space. Yuu towers over Haru and practically spits in her face when talking.

My very personal interpretation of her character is that she doesn't really understand social cues well. I mean, we haven't really seen her interact with any of her classmates much, have we? She literally skipped eating lunch with the girls to compose a song for Haru in C2, and here in C4, she's invading Haru's privacy again by following her home (well, where she believed Haru to be going anyway). She seems almost obsessed with this idea of teaming up with Haru. Not to mention her fractured family and almost painful single interaction with her father. Point is, Yuu is not a 'normal' person in the sense of the word, and I have chosen to differentiate her from Haru through their speech patterns. If Yuu were to speak 'normally' like Haru, I think a little bit of the subtext surrounding her inherently awkwardness might be lost.

So yes, making her sound 'unfittingly formal' and a little 'unatural' was very intentional.

I guess what I'm saying is she isn't actually too formal compared to her peers, she's more informal, bordering on rude, compared to her peers.

So stuff like no contractions gives her the opposite characterization as in the original text. There's more than one way to speak "different" and this way makes her seem mainly like she's not speaking her primary language.

Yeah, good point I guess. I’ll look into it and see what I can do.

Thanks for that translation!

Also dropping that page cleaned, fantastic 👌

Yuri Hime series with a contemporary setting tend to be very direct about romance from the start, so it's kind of rare to see this more gradual kind of ship building. For now it's mostly Haru getting flustered by Yuu stepping into her personal space and treating her a bit like a little sister. I didn't even notice that Yuu had been habitually doing the former until it was pointed out by the translator...
