I hope to be proven wrong, but be honest: are you ready for the slog of a breakup arc? Week after week, 4 pages at a time?

I'm not. One fight is already getting dragged out for months... The trajectory seems obvious, there's not been a twist, yet it just keeps dragging out.

This is worse than upsetting. It's boring. Feels like there's nothing for me to think about or comment on, page after page after page. I want to engage with the work and... honestly, it's a struggle to finish typing this comment, that's how little interest I have left.

My only remaining curiosity is wondering if the mangaka has an editor demanding a padded page count.

I hope this gets resolved quickly because I don't know if I have the strength/patience to watch a divorce happen in slow motion. And right after it took them SO long to finally get together.

Don't you see the vision? Shu and Rinko are in the same room, they're going to help Aya and Mitsuki talk by bringing up something music-related and they're going to hit it off with each other in the process.

We can only hope lol

Look, I'm not saying there's anything wrong with Nirvana or Foo Fighters, but

I've hardly listened to Nirvana so there's only like 1 song I like. That being "Something in the Way"...

BEGONE PLEBS

Nirvana is one of the greatest bands to ever exist, single handedly destroying 80's hair metal and giving us the greatest era of music to have ever exist in the history. Foo Fighters are the child birthed by great 90's rock and keeping the genre alive with their incredible sound no matter how many weak willed pop wannabe's state the death of rock every year.

Finally the time of the angry 90's teen has come, get out your oversized clothes and skate boards cause we back baby.

Yes, yes. Absolutely. 90's was the best. Nevermind grandpa over in the corner listening to AC-DC, Kiss, and Steppenwolf. Dweezil Zappa? Never heard of him. The Ramones? Those punks?! PLEASE!!!!

After they became official I was hoping we would get a lot of them being lovey dovey and THEN drama cause well this is a manga, but here we are

We can only hope lol

It is inevitable, Shu and Rinko will be compelled by Narita's cupid-for-lesbians power.

Once again I'm here bring the word of the oficial playlist, I think it really helps to set the mood, especially the last songs up to it.
Things are going to change, actually it needs to change, they need to grow, mitsuki really needs to learn to open up to Aya, and Aya needs to work out a lot of stuffs too.
Anyway, I thought it was a good and funny chapter lol hype up for a sequence of chapters setting there at the pub culminating to more chaos and then a good resolution (a really messy talk with a lot of feelings that lead to a private talk with less mess and more actual talking).
(narita-san deserve a paid vacation after all this)

R.E.M. and All time low have a sweet spot on me ♡

Hoping to see Aya getting drunk and doing something stupid and sweet (an open mic singing Nirvana about a girl or some other shit) that would be so funny, then she didn't get to finish the song because of drunkenness/Narita stoping her/she starting to mumble disconnected stuff to mitsuki, neither way she stoping before it gets ugly.
Mitsuki needs a figurative slap in the face, already got one that brings her to reality (last chap fight), now another one to bring her to "here and now" (stop running away and take some action).

Don't you see the vision? Shu and Rinko are in the same room, they're going to help Aya and Mitsuki talk by bringing up something music-related and they're going to hit it off with each other in the process.

Yes. I can see this is going to get interesting as Narita is there as well - hopefully we are going to get Aya and Mitsuki back together, with the resolution to Mitsuki's musical impasse, and also Shu and Rinko hitting it off.

Koga you spineless fool! This ch kinda felt too similar to the one two chapters ago, wish it went somewhere else with the conflict but oh well

drama? in MY drama manga?

Wonder if Narita know soemthing is going on. He is mr. Cupid after all.

At this point Mitsuki's cowardice knows no bounds my God at this point it's getting annoying just fucking talk already

Oh this night will be fun and it looks like we'll be here for a bit. Cool. Feel sorry for the two new girls because they're caught in the middle lol. Looks like Narita orchestrated the meet up. Once again, being the helpful friend. At least Mitsuki was all fidgety with guilt even before Aya came that was also cute. The way they both puffed their cheeks and spun around was funny as well. Lighthearted chapter, all-in-all. Looking forward to this setup, essentially locking the two silly girls in a room together.

Based on what he says last, I think he's the one who asked Aya and them to come to the bar on purpose. Of course he's not regretting that decision but at least he brought a thick coat!

Yeah all the pieces are together. Maximum chaos and puffy cheeks. I'm pretty sure the offer to sing is there too.

Irl I'd hate anyone who'd try to fix their relationship at their workplace. It puts a lot of pressure on the one working bc of the power the customer has over them. So that's the only reason this chapter upset me. But we needed it for Ringo and Shu to be in the same place again.

Also i resonate with the ones being faux shocked at the drama in a drama manga. This whole series is about miscommunication or lack of open vulnerability. They aren't breaking up, they're just awkward after a fight like they always are.

Wingman-kun's plan has spectacularly backfired this time, at least for now. We'll see where we are once this chaos has passed. :D

I'm really hoping they're not gonna do the "hanging out with other girl to make GF jelly" route or whatever

Please Aya, just pin her down or hug her and tell her you won't let go until she gives you SOMETHING

I'm honestly expecting a breakup arc. Just a temporary one where they get back together after properly communicating

Rn I'm hoping for the best but expecting the worst

The drama element would be less of a slog to get through if the only issue wasn't just communication.

any breakup would be messy since they live together

Last chapter was necessary but I was a little worried for them. This chapter I'm not worried at all, they're both being very cute, the chance of a breakup seems extremely low.

poor shu and rinko.... arai sumiko i'm begging you to make the next one 8 pages.

drama? in MY drama manga?

Yeah, the way people act, you'd think they hadn't been reading a 4-page drama manga right from the beginning...

Either they make up or I'm dropping this series.

I think people can know that this is a drama series and still not be into the current arc for various reasons. While I’m still looking forward to future chapters I understand why this isn’t landing for everyone, and my own feelings are a bit mixed on the current progression.

Couple has it's first ever challenge

"Divorce arc" "They should break up"

Sorry, I didn't realize I was on Reddit.
