| Just when I thought things were developing nicely the story backtracks to where we were (-_-)... |

| I knew we will get something like that. I mean how would it become a moren-than-2-volumes manga, if they confornt each other already in the early chapters? Well anyway, hope that Mr Boyfriend will realise that Mari actually doesn't give a damn about him. |
 |
| This was an okay chapter, Akko is confused, Mari is... though the images don't show it, I just imagine her facial expression as perpetually pinched, and pained. |
| I guess instead of being back to where it started they switched roles now. Marie has buried her feelings deep inside herself but Ako can't get it out of her head and will probably not be able to do so for a while. |

| My opinion's in the club thread: here ^^ (don't wanna double post xD) http://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=18517&show=20 But well to sum it up I'm slowly getting tired of this manga. It's something completely different from what I thought and imagined it to be. 1. - How come Morinaga-sensei quit writing about Hitomi and Nana and leave us without any proper source of yuri satisfaction, and instead start supplying us with dozes of anxiety and nervousness every single month? I ain't saying GF is bad, I'm just saying it ain't neither fulfiling nor satisfying. 2. - Can't really speak for anyone else, but what I find about yuri the most interesting is not "getting together" but "being together" part so in the end GF totaly fails at this point. This applies to almost every romance manga I've ever read. I'm simply not insterested in reading whole tankoubons of endless mental processes of the characters whose love is not being answered or failed attempts at making themselves loved by the person that matters. What I want to see is the relationship itself and how it progresses. Yuri has a lot of space for this matter 'cause anybody could hardly call it "common" or uninteresting. --' Oh yeah, the last thing: so that nobody would misunderstand, it's not like I didn't enjoy GF up to this point, because most of the story's been really well made... but it's just the fact that it's about that point in time where the story should move on from being "introduction to the relationship" to "fulfilling the relationship". Otherwise this is going to end up as another manga with a lot of wasted potential on depicting what happens when two girls are going out. This is the unique feat that brought the Hitomi and Nana storyline above your average yuri stories. It actually showed their relationship and not just how they got together. One-shots are a completely different matter of course, because the length of the story is limited and so the "introduction to the relationship" part is often partially even the "being together" part because the two heroines tend to be in love with each other already and the "getting together part" is just a formality, but this is not the case (=> the reason I'm annoyed and also the thing I don't like). ^^ |

| My... how...analitic you are about a yuri manga. I would agree that backtracking this way is kinda lame, but this manga didn't even start bery conventionaly one to beguin with. Anyway, I love how uninterested is Mari with her "boyfriend", and I wonder why was Akko interested in making Mari pretty if she was not into it (well, I'm not a woman so how should I know). PD: What is that of the seven plugs? |
 |
| ohmG!!!!! I knew it =.= back to square one gawddammit!!!! =_=||| |
 |
| One giant step backwards with this chapter.......I'm still looking forward to where this story will lead us..... blopa said: PD: What is that of the seven plugs? I was thinking the same thing..... |
| and it was kicked back to the curb of status quo. Can't say I expected any different from this. |
 Beware! For I wield the chair leg of truth! |
| I was rereading the whole series again... And noticed something... Not like anyone cares, I don't even know why I'm writing this...o.o You know when she said that her fav perfume is Baby Doll... My grandmother kinda loves that perfume too, a lot...xDDD And I have it too O.o Okay... Enough spamming...XD |

| *cries* I was really enjoying this manga too... |
 |
| Darn... she's still with that guy... |
It's so very obvious that the path Mariko is taking is a dead end. She's just running away again. But I guess that's up to her and Akiko to figure out. I'm still a bit frustrated though. |
 |
| I actually like where it's heading. |
| She isn't denying them, she is trying to suppress them, I wonder how long this will go on for. I was about to be happy that she was going to stop leading that boy on but nope, guess she is still trying to pretend it never happened. |
 |
| Akko is jelly! And I still feel bad for Mari's boyfriend, he's so nice :< |
  |
| This is kind of a reboot, but not completely so, because now something is stirring inside Akko as well. But boy, this turn must have been frustrating for monthly readers. This is just one reason why I prefer reading completed series. |
| Honestly, I feel bad for Mari's "boyfriend". He lacks characterization but so far, he seems to be a nice dude. P.S.: Was this chapter trying to work as an advertisement for perfumes or was it just me who thought that? |
