It had been a long time since I read the first chapter, but going back to it now, Saki was barely concealing her gayness from the start. Wouldn't be surprised if her mom suspected, lol. I'm glad to have a new non-subtext yuri series from Kuzushiro.
I thought it seemed pretty obvious that Saki was gay but I haven’t read any of Kukuzhiro’s other works so I didn’t know if this was just gonna end up like tropical fish with endless baiting.
Rereading chapter 1 it seems heavily implied that Saki’s mom knows she’s gay, or at least suspects it with the way she said “but you were never into piano that much were you?”
You’re right about the mom thing holy hell
Saki at the very least was pretty causal with how she blushed at kanon the first time they met while noticing her looks. He being gay seemed pretty apparent, but I really didn’t suspect she had a thing for her piano teacher.
The fact that we didn’t really get in Saki’s head was pretty clever way of not making the crush more obvious. She was clearly upset, but without more elaboration it could just be chalked up to being frustrated a teacher that’s been in your life for a long time is moving on.
But with this newest chapter and looking back that pure black panel when her mom says she was never into piano that much and her reaction really drives it home what it was really about.
Still I’m not fully sure if that’s her mom being fully aware, or if the black panel is supposed to be saki taking those words the absolute worst was. It’s hard to tell without hearing how the mom says it, but it seems pretty plausible she might have picked up on it maybe from the way saki talked about her teacher or something over the years idk
