Yeah, I wanted to see more of Mari and Akko, but I still like Sugi, so the chapter was good and funny for me.

lol, Sugi loves teasing them

It was okay, i personally was kinda let down because i wanted the chapter on focus on Mair and Akko after just getting together. The ending with Sugi teasing them was pretty funny though.

"A molester? Just when I was in the middle of being sentimental?" XD

Not much development but it's nice a change of focus once in a while, specially since Sugi is the only one who knows about Akko and Mari going out toghether, which makesSugi both jealous and amused XD

At this rate it seems like Sugi will spend her old age with Tamamin, after all. Still, I'm not sure that Morinaga wants to make a couple out of those two.

I thought it was a good chapter, well written and we got to see a new side of Sugi, but I would like to see more Mari and Akko... also I wish something had stuck instead of her just going straight back to normal in the last panel

Lots of people seem irked about this chapter being about Sugi. I personally don't mind because it means that there's a potential for another volume of Girl Friends. Were this chapter about Mari and Akko, it might have been the last chapter... ever.

Thankfully it was about a side character and not exactly plot relevant, so more Girl Friends in 2010!

Not many Sugi fans I see. Was a good chapter in my opinion. Shows that Mari and Akko are doing fine and we get to see Sugi's awesomeness.

There's potential allright. Knowing Morinaga she might make the other girls end up together. I think there's a potential in Sugi and Tamamin too. Morinaga earns money with the series, so I suspect she will make it last as long as she can. And if it involves making the orher girls gay, then she'll do it. She said once that 'cute girls should end up together', so SugixTamamin fans might see something in the future. I can imagine an arc, where Sugi and Tamamin will be experimenting with each other, but they'll realize in the end, that they're just really good friends, nothing more.

Not to mention the title just says Girl Friends, so the series might not focus only on Akko and Mari, but other close girl friends too. If the series continues, Akko and Mari might end up as side characters as their relationship develops.

But I really hope it will only focus on MAri and Akko, since they're the main heroines.

Sounds like you're expecting a bit too much.

She isn't really a slut, stop being so judgmental, people!

And the chapter was nice, but a chapter focused on MarixAkko is always better.

Hahaha love how she teased Mari and Akko at the end with "How far have you two gone?" ...

Anyways also ironic that the teacher she loved became a molester.

I liked this chapter. It humanized Sugi quite a bit, who until now felt like the token slut character. Then again, had I read this manga while it was coming out, I'd probably be pissed like a lot of other commenters too.

It's nice to see that there was more to Sugi than we knew. And it looks like Akko and Mari have overtaken her in the "race". She operates in a moral grey area, but she's been a net positive influence on the two.

This chapter was actually pretty funny, too, which is kind of impressive, due to the sensitive subject matter of some of the humor in it (i.e. train molesters in Japan). And I probably wouldn't have been able to resist teasing Akko and Mari either, if I had been Sugiyama. Too cute.

Honestly, I couldn't care less for Sugiyama. That said, I won't go that far to call her a slut but having five boyfriends who give you gifts, pay your dinners and think you're the only one for them doesn't say much about your selfish personality either...

Really uninteresting chapter overall.

i really liked the chap actually because we got to see Sugi's real feelings and her yearning for a true love. I relate to her for that. But still having five boyfriends, literally using them and her arrogance about it really isn't good at all it's an awful thing to do. I hope she realizes it and drops them before finding her true love.

Loved the chapter. Kinda feel bad for Sugi now. Oh the struggles of a hot girl.

Unrelated, but why is Akko doing a fat bong rip off of Mari's lollipop on the the volume cover? lol
