Wow, what a lovely way to start a Saturday morning! Thank you so much for this dear TLs!
And a sleepover in the next chapter!!!
Is it just me or has the quality of this manga gone down? The art, Paneling, something just seems off
Interesting, I personally find it quite the opposite - really like the last couple of chapters. What I mean is, perhaps you're right about it having less art, but I also feel like there's more to the story and the dialogue. When I read the chapter for the first time, I'm always very hyped about it, so I always feel that it's going to end soon, and of course I don't want that to happen. Then I notice that, say, I've actually only read half of the chapter. So it makes me happy - it's almost like the chapter has packed two chapters in it. It's a very satisfying feeling. So despite it being less "colourful", in my opinion the quality of manga has increased. Typically by the end of the chapter I feel very content with it.
On the ace topic...
I don't know much about asexuality tbh. The way I understand Hinako is that she really wants to have a physical contact with her beloved one. But she's afraid this would disgust the other party. She's projecting her own feelings from her dates with men to Asahi. So she's afraid Asahi would leave if she becomes too touchy. Like what happened in chapter 8.
Also, recalling how vividly she imagines Asahi's body, her slender wrist and small lips, I find it superhard to believe that Hinako's ace. I feel that Hinako's actually quite the opposite, practically a maniac, once she's allowed to))))
And with Asahi it's gonna be super-challenging for sure. On the other hand, the sleepover's incoming! I think Asahi really deserves a massage after that stressful evening...
