@botmj I couldn't help but notice your Hitsugi Katsugi no Kuro avatar. I'd read that manga, but it was never licensed where I live (and buying the US version is too expensive for me) and I don't think it was ever scanlated.

^Ayano did kiss Miyoshi, though she refuses to admit.

Ah, I completely forgot about that. I really need to reread this manga sometimes. I'm shit at remembering stuff.

Ayano and Miyoshi have gotten closer to kissing, but I still think they're probably going to be the last couple to get together.

So if she wasn't going for a kiss, what was Nononon trying to do? Hide her face?

Feeling so weak she collapsed?

So close to victory.

I will never get tired of the Chads no Teikoku credits page. Seeing those two Chads gazing at each other makes me smile every single time.

Also the credits page jokes are great.

indeed chads, she should have kissed her >:3

Agree on everything

We will need 50 more chapters till Nononon turns into a true chad (hahaha) but damn these two colored pages were soooo good

Ah, that one moment was a killer. One page, she's holding her, so romantic. Next page, I look at it and think Yes! This is it! This is . . . hey, her head doesn't look like it's oriented right . . . dammit!!!

Whoa I didn’t think anyone ever knew about this series. You can read it here https://mangakakalot.com/chapter/hitsugi_katsugi_no_kuro_kaichu_tabi_no_wa/chapter_1

I’d hyperlink it but I’m on mobile rn. Sorry for off topic, mods.

Nononon x yumimi is my favorite couple by a country mile and I literally triumphantly held my fists in the air when I got to the color pages, good god. Even though there was no kiss, I'm putting this one down as an Overwhelming Victory.

Couldn’t agree more

Woah, we just jumped about ten steps in one chapter. I can't even properly express my thoughts, lol!

But seriously, these two are my absolute favorite- the whole time I was reading I couldn't believe we were finally making progress, and all at once!

So Ena lost her nerve (I'm shocked she had it to begin with, but as someone with similar self esteem issues and shyness, I can relate- rip off that bandaid), so I don't think they're quite THERE yet, but this marks the turning point I've been waiting for for literal years (WOW this is a long-runner). And I LOVED seeing how much Yumimi is actually affected by her (the teasing is clearly just a cover up). I just hope they don't go the whole 'resolve things offscreen' route like they did with Haruka and Kanae (who used to be one of my favorites before that happened). Speaking of, I`m still holding out hope that somehow there was a misunderstanding and Kanae doesn't recognize her true feelings (because we all know Haruka knows EXACTLY what she feels for Kanae but maybe the latter doesn't see it because of how she used to be alone ). BUT I'm pretty sure that's just wishful thinking. I just can't believe they'd do us so dirty T_T

Also- I really don't care for Kaoru, but I cracked up at that last panel. I can see that being exactly what happened too, since they're apparently part of the same group (with Shizuka, who at this point I'm just assuming Mio smuggled off to some uncharted island in the middle of the Pacific).

I actually created the Wikipedia article for it lol

AAAAAAAAAAAA
I was like "HOLY SHIT! IS IT FINALLY HAPPENING?! OH MY GOOOOD!!!" and then it didn't
oh well, it still got a lot of emotion out of me. i hope those dorks finally confess someday.

My kiss. WHERE IS

You know what makes pounding my heart too?....those colored pages in this beautiful series holy smokes

I want senpai and yumimi to actually get together. i used to think yumimi was just messing around but it seems really mutually assured destruction rn.

Pretty much this (and mutually assured destruction is s good way to put it, lol). I wasn't rooting for them for a long time, because in the grand spectrum of relationships in this manga (from "little more than a tease" with Ribbon and the manga club gremlin, to full on romance with AiChie etc) Yumimi and Nononon were in the lower end for a while, but in the past few volumes, Kishi has really propelled them to almost the top, at least in the race of couples who aren't officially together yet.

Wow, my heart is pounding too

Okay, like, AiChie is my OTP for this series, but Nononon and Yumimi are working their way up.

You're Juandmarco in the English wiki? I sometimes notice your contributions, often in the pages of Japanese voice actresses.

Yeah that me

I have to say, even though I dislike Kaoru alongside the others, I like her alongside Honoka. Her personality is funny alongside Honoka, when there's no risk of her breaking some other poor girl's heart. They play off each other really well, and I actually enjoy seeing their sibling dynamics, it shows a new (but in character) side of both of them. Kaoru as the useless older sister and Honoka as the long suffering younger sister is fun to see!

(I would be Kaoru in this situation- and I'm the older sister as well, lol).

Also, a bit off topic, but: as much as I tend to dislike her, Kaoru is a very good sister. If younthink back to some older chapters, it's shown that despite Kaoru's teasing and Honoka generally viewing her as a nuisance, Kaoru is the only member of their family (that we meet) who never puts her down some way. Her mother compares her to Kaoru and seems to generally see her as a bit of a let down, and an uncle was shown playing favorites. But Kaoru is always supportive of Honoka. The only thing she could be accused of in regards to Honoka is simply existing as a comparison, which is obviously not her fault.
