I still don't like Mari. I wonder if they really did "something more." If they did, Mari's pretty dumb for doing it just so she could be "like Akko." I feel bad for her boyfriend.

I don't think Mari did something more, it was more like she was bluffing because there really wasn't much time for anything to happen.

Sucks that we have to wait ages between chapters (-_-)...

Gaaah I really do hope Mari did it. If so, then I'll forever love Morinaga-sensei.
If they didn't, though, then this manga will be very unfrotunately added to my list of manga that seriously pissed me off. I absolutely hate it when there's such an un-shoujoistic element in it, and they turn it into something lame by saying 'oh, yeah, btw, j/k'.

I can't believe we have to wait til mid-end feb for the next chapters. This seriously blows = ='

I really don't like Mari's bf. I just want the story to process faster so Mari and Akko can be together! Gosh! It's not that hard. (=.=|||)
I know that Mari is bluffing because she wouldn't have *** with that boy because she likes Akko. She will never go that far just to make Akko jealous. . .Would she?
Is it just me or is the art work just getting cuter and cuter? ('w') Mostly Mari in her yukata! (.///.)

Marie looked quite sad when she was sitting next to her boyfriend there staring on her cellphone.

But unexpected development again, huh.
Though like already said I also find it kind of hard to believe that they did something more.
And if she didn't run away from her boyfriend or similar at some point she wouldn't have stood there all alone when she met Akko.

If it's this manga, nothing could really surprise me anymore tho if she slept with him, there would be no space left for redemption, and I'd have to simply write this piece off, as a manga, that killed my interest in anything that Morinaga writes from now on. It's been dragging for so long that I no longer even wait for the chapters to come out, I simply read them once they show up. With all things considered there are many more yuri mangas with considerably better 'yuri' element coming out atm, so I'm seriously starting to loose interest in this story.

Other than that my opinion on this chapter is: Artwork has definetely improved compared to her other works. Akko is as much of an "ignorant idot" as she always is, so really no improvement in that matter, and Mari is as much of an "naive idiot" as she alway is, well... with the exception that her motivation to forget Akko and go out with her BF for real, seems to be taking another turn down the road. Honestly said there were a lot of wasted panels depicting Akko doing nothing of importance to the story. Same thing could be said about many others as well. Considering the only imporatnt thing that happened in the chapter (kiss with BF and following conversation with Akko) I don't find it likely or even "Mari-like" thing to do to sleep with him. But the suspition of the two of them kissing is almost certain to be true, since Mari was half-crying when she met Akko, what implies that he kissed her without her consent and she turned to tears and left him there. She wanted to see Akko so badly that she did not even realise that she came there and when she was faced with the reality of confronting Akko with the truth of what happened several minutes ago, she chose the easier and for Akko the harder to swallow story to see how she reacts (maybe a lil' bit of resentment? confusion?). WIth all honesty she simply didn't have time to sleep with him when the fireworks didn't even end by the time she talked with Akko and he only gave her first kiss when they started.

Either they kissed and Mari's sad because of that, or Mari slapped him before he could put his lips on hers and then she goes crying to Akko's. The "something esle" has a 95% chance of being a lie and a 5% chance of Moritaka being drunk when writting/drawing the manga.

I don't believe that Mari had sex yet. But Akko should realize soon that she would make a great couple with Mari :3
Akko is annoying -.-

I don't think Mari did anything more than kissing, do you? Hell, it looks to me like she ran away after he tried. This is either gonna force Akko farther away or force her to act on her feelings because Mari is really trying to play out the "straight" role right now.

By the way, Don "Kangol" Jones LOVES the traditional Japanese look! >;-)

I'm guessing that after the kiss she freaked out and ran ... But doesn't want to admit this to Akko.

So Mari is trying to empathise with Akko? When her boyfriend was about to kiss her, I'd expect Mari to run away before he could, and she ended up finding Akko near the store. But it seems "something more" happened, which I find strange in this time frame.

And the idiot followed the "advice" of his awful coworker... sigh* He's a nice dude but someone else would have already noticed Mari's lack of interest in him...

And also, Mari is misunderstanding things, right? I mean, they didn't even kiss... she must be just bluffing.

...I don't think they have.
But whether he kissed her? Hmm
Mari looked very cute in the Yukata.

Wow, the translation I looked up ruined Akko's scene playing her ds. In the raws it is obvious she is playing Ace Attorney, and she has made a mistake. This made a juxtaposition between Akko, who failed at her bluff in the game (as Phoenix is always accused of in the games whenever you mess up), and Mari who managed to make Akko think she slept with her boyfriend even though she probably ran off when he tried kiss her.
