LOL other than the intial draw in, i'm surprised they bothered with an 'age diff' bc just looking at page 7 with the art style i'd believe it if they set it as the same age/some 'rival' highschoolers finding each other out or just the same age in a diff school
Wish there were local clean rivers around here, other than an area with a bridge (i think i saw some kids 'fish' some tadpoles out at a park once), i can't imagine taking my shoes off and stepping into a current like that/would worry about it being dirty
Author better not fucking go for the tired BS "just friends" ending like a lot of yuri authors like to do.
You might think "Oh they would never do that at this point, just look at how obviously in love they are", but some hack pieces of shit authors have indeed pulled the rug on us at the end with similar obvious romance signals as shown here.
Sorry if I come off as overly wary, I have been betrayed too many times before by yuri authors. I don't trust yuri authors to go full gay ending anymore until I get actual confirmation with a kiss or more in the story.
We need to start getting josei series from authors who are actually gay themselves
If not romances where they start 'already in a relationship' or so versus a slow burn lol
Although in this case, i don't think realistically an OL would get arrested over a 'kiss' but i can understand why they might wanna 'wait'/do a time skip or so (although i'm sure in some cases there can be yuri 'ace' stories but that's a slightly diff niche audience)
