Is it just me or does it feel as though Miyoshi knows how Ayano feels, or at the very least feels the same way, and wants to nudge Ayano into confessing by saying and doing these incredibly suggestive things to her all the time?
In the chapter where the two of them are discussing childhood friends becoming lovers on the bus, Miyoshi is the one who initially remarks that if one of them were a guy, they would have totally fallen in love and started dating by now. Miyoshi is also the one who kabedons Ayano first and is also the one who recommends they join the other couples during the whole lap-pillow chapter. Granted, Miyoshi comes off as dense sometimes and she can be super goofy, but when it comes to her best friend she can also be highly intuitive. Remember the chapter where Ayano gets molested on the train? Ayano brushes it off at first, but Miyoshi sees through her strong front and recognizes that she was really very upset. I think that if/when a confession does come, it may just be Miyoshi who brings it about.
I completely agree. I think they both want something to happen, but they're just too insecure to make a move. In fact, I think that's why Miyoshi often "ruins the mood" by making jokes because she starts to feel too awkward and insecure every time they get close.
Miyoshi’s insecurities have been teased so it surely isn't far-fetched to say that she’s hesitant towards pushing for a change in their relationship, and leaving it up to Ayano to do the confessing. She is incredibly intuitive when it comes to Ayano, as y’all brought up, and that’s a good point to keep in mind. I had found her expressions during chapter 176 particularly interesting, especially with the whole ‘lonely’ remark. I feel that those specific pauses on her face during the conversation were teasing a bit of this almost timid and hesitant side to her.
I want to keep rambling because I’m invested in this slow burn but I just wanted to state my agreeance because I have an inkling this is something that’s gonna maybe be touched upon again later on in the series.
I dunno, regardless, MiyoshixAyano chapters are still wonderful despite the usual formula ending in useless yuris every time.
And off topic but I thought Miyoshi had gotten a haircut or something with the first panel (her billowing locks gave the impression of a trim, I guess) and I kicked my wall. Gosh dang my heart...
Actually, it is funny that you bring up the moment Miyoshi suddenly feels very far away from Ayano, because that is a very key moment in my mind. I am assuming you are referring to the chapter where Ayano is told how cute she is by the store clerk (way to state the obvious, by the way, clerk-san, lol). I think the fact that someone else noticed Ayano and that--for once--Ayano seems even slightly intrigued by someone else (even if she was only mildly flattered), really gets to Miyoshi; she suddenly realizes that her childhood friend (cough love of her life cough), could be stolen away by another. That might possibly be the moment when Miyoshi finally begins to see her own feelings more clearly, hence why her flirting with Ayano really picks up from that point onward. By the way, I appreciate the fact that Ayano states she has no interest in the clerk because he isn't her type, lol. What's even better is that we, as the readers, sense that Miyoshi probably already knows what that implies on some level.
But honestly, it's probably going to continue to be a very slow burn between those two because even if they both decide to stop being useless lesbians, there's still the issue of their friendship. When you've been so close for that long, it can be a hard and scary transition to become lovers. As you can tell, I am clearly a yuri fan-girl and far too invested in this storyline as well, lol.
