she's the volleyball manager but it's been implied she's had a crush on shino for ages

i don't recall which other friend you're talking about

shino and nozomi's best friends are both gay and into them as well. had back and back chapters dedicated to this fact, but they don't seem to get the same traction as the volleyball manger or shino and nozomi together.

The mangadex post doesn't have any tag for yuri or romance or the like. I'm pretty sure this is purely an instance of shipping, not actual romance lol.

like if you read the thing there is a chapter where shino is just, horny to be in the same bed as nozomi. the manga isn't subtle, people who do tags are just idiots.

Yeah, kuzushiro manga have the subtlety of a brick, and yet somehow people still insist otherwise.

And that leads back to my second question: Just how old is the brother's wife?

I can't point to a specific panel or anything but my understanding is Nozomi is 6 years older than Shino.

yay! it may very well have been me posting about it not sure I've ever seen anyone else mention it. I've been buying the volumes but have several I haven't read yet, kinda thinking I might do a re-read since it's been a while since I left off.

the series where the high school girl actually ends up dating her brother's wife just ended and it was very very bad

personally i'm cheering for nozomi x heidi and shino x koizumi

She doesn't actually do that in that one, either.

also minato is way better than koizumi :colbert:

MangaUpdates still has it as ongoing, I don't think that chapter's the final one.

e; the way it's setting up Kanda's sibling and their classmate at the end also just, does not make it feel final at all, unless it got cancelled after this chapter was already published.

the stretch meme sucks imo. manga ended years ago and the vampire manga the author has been doing is explicitly yuri

hell vampeerz has a jokey side chapter that's just one of the characters pulling out stretch and asking someone "hey do you know where the next volume of this is"

My observation was meant more as a meta-comment on the whole subject of shipping and how sometimes it really can be a stretch, while also incorporating the manga because of its history, but I guess it fell flat.

Whole lotta romantic tension between the two leads (roommates), which seemed to be working up to them getting into a relationship with each other... Then one of them moves out, and the series ends.

Plenty of build up, and then we were left hanging.

it's weird that stretch being a single manga with a somewhat inconclusive and low key ending has resulted in it being viewed as a symbol of a disappointing manga continuously over the five years since it ended

I read Aqua and Aria not too long ago and while that's not REALLY a romantic/yuri series, It sure was something to get to the end after so much subtext and have the one girl suddenly quit her job and leave to get married to a dude we never see.

Really? I haven't read amanchu in a while but i thought the two leads were either going out or basically there around the time I stopped keeping up with it, when did they add the guy?

Oof, yeah. I probably wouldn't have minded as much if she had hooked up with that Fire Nation guy that obviously had a crush on her but "Random Guy Out of loving Nowhere!" was a lovely way to end what was a pretty pleasant series. I stayed away from Amanchu because of that and it sounds like that was the right call.
