I was wondering- does anyone know if time passess in this manga? I mean its had a lot of chapters..
I was trying to remember if it gradually changes seasons and goes through events/holidays as time and chapters pass- have they gone up grades at all?
There's no rhyme or reason to the passage of time. Ch 14, the third Shizuka/Mio chapter, takes place on Valentine's Day, which is of course in mid-February. The Japanese school year ends in March, which is when Shizuka would graduate. However, Ch 50 is set in summer and shows Shizuka, still clearly a student at the school, inviting Mio to a festival with her. Similarly, Honoka first meets Ed and Ian at their Christmas party in Ch 57 and then goes to a summer festival with them in ch 93, with no indication of anyone moving up a grade or Eli returning to America.
I have a theory that the manga is set in the same universe as Yuru Yuri and they're stuck in the same time loop.
