Was it necessary to put this specific chapter about the budding romance between side characters, right at this point of the plot? I'm 100% all for the pair but come on. Before the Izumi issue, we had Fujishiro starting to realize her feelings and we're not gonna follow up on that? I'm fine with this chapter but can the author seriously not put this after more development with the damn main characters. I seriously want to be excited for Izumi x Iroha, but I came in this chapter expecting just a TINY bit of progression with Fujishiro and Kurokawa.

I think that if it was .5 chapter like the one where they were playing, it will have been fine but here it's an entire chapter focus on Iroha, which frankly was more of a gag character in the trip and it's at least abit strange. Whole arc was about Izumi coming to an end with her feelings for Fujishiro and Fujishiro realizing her feelings for Kurokawa, I hope at least. I understand we need to blow some steam but come on. It's a bit of dragging. I will be honest that couldn't reallybe happy for Izumi because well, i don't care about Iroha at all since she arrive. She is like Nene from Citrus, even a bit more annoying.

I don't mind Iroha, neither do I find her annoying, but the timing to develop her and Izumi is not right.
I just hope next chapter the author finally jumps into the main pairing and not continue with these two.
Wonder if the author is out of ideas for the main pairing, that's why they delay it so much.

What are you talking about? Fujishiro's realization has already been diverted to friendship during Izumi's confession chapters. There is not going to be any extreme progress from that.

90% of this manga was about Fujishiro and Kurokawa's relationship and suddenly everyone jumps at the author for doing a side-arc of just 4 chapters.

Izumi, stop looking and acting just like a BL hero! You're bewitching Iroha!

"Akazawa Iroha (17) has found her first love."

Oops, too late.

Well as Fujishiro said, Izumi smiling with a face like that is unfair.

... Or something like that

Now, KISS!!

"everyone" Overexageratting much no ? There was like 2 or 3 persons complaining and it was more about this chapter than the whole Izumi arc.

So we're in for 10 or 12 chapters of suffer again because Fujishiro is an idiot ? Izumi just go throught her confession and Fujishiro will still think she only see Kurokawa as a "friend". Yeah well, i begin to understand why people prefer to have the side characters in the front.

Everyone is gay.

...when the support cast becomes the main ship~
And I don't even mind. I have a thing for tomboys in my manga.

Uh-oh, the uselessbians are multiplying!

XD
Now, if Kurokawa started crushing on Iroha, we could add a square formula to it and... ... .. . ...nevermind, I suck at math :P

Edit:
Also, I don't mind such kind of narrative technique. Only, that I binge-read this manga just recently and then read a dozen other ones, so when I picked up this chapter I was a little confused at first "Didn't I read that already?" But once I got past that, I thought it was rather well executed - the dad scenes were a nice touch, too.

*hums Que Sera, Sera to self*

Edit2:

Everyone is gay normal.

Fixed it >.>

I see what you did there

Just because Fujishiro now thinks this is a friendship thing, doesn't mean it has to drag. Adding some small details between her and Kurokawa would be enough for me, like that scene when Kurokawa was wearing her glasses during the trip and she went really close to Fujishiro's face.

God damn Yuri fairy sprinkling her fairy dust around

Man the latest chapter is kinda poggers to be honest

Is Izumi the only one that has no color in her name?

I bet Iroha and Izumi starts going out at some point and that's what makes the main pair think "oh, shit, we can be like that too".

Not a hard bet.

Betting in something lose is not my style, I preffer to go the safe route :P

Probably not? I mean, Nanaki is aware that girls can have romantic feelings for each other, because, you know, Izumi did confess to her and everything, and she made it pretty explicit that she meant love in that kind of way. So they don't need to break the "oh, two girls can date each other" barrier.

I didn't mean it by "two girls can date each other", I mean it by that seeing someone flirting can make you think "I want that too" lol. Nanaki said that she just wanted to be her bestfriend, not in the way Izumi sees Nanaki so I don't believe that after this the main pair would hook up right now.

Hers is blue. Aota (Aoi) Izumi. Red/Blue for the sideship. Black/White for the main.

That's neat, I didn't even know they had colors associated with them in their names.
