There sure a lot of omitting going around here

I am shocked, SHOCKED to learn there is omitting going on in this manga!

Baking muffins?

Goddamn, Ataru seems to be driving an original VW Beetle.

Ataru is too relatable

That's a Subaru 360! Cute little car.

And wow, long-haired Ataru hits different.

Are the flattened heels of Ataru's shoes on page 5 a mark of something? Like a stock depiction of a character trait?

The true Christmas miracle is her surviving that drive home. :D

Not sure if freaking the fuck out or just modern interpretative dance...

As if there's a difference.

Sakuma was the total Ikemen type in high school :O Long hair, nerdy type Ataru was pretty darn cute as well.

Holy shit high school flashback time, and Sakuma was the handsome one while Ataru had the long hair??? Damn

Well, people pay good money to see one.

Holy shit, Ataru drives a Subaru 360. 360cc 2-stroke 2-cylinder engine in the back. Made from 1958 to 1971, that means every one is between 50 and 63 years old. That is a real classic. Japan likes to get old cars off the road so people will buy new ones, so taxes on old cars go up exponentially. It is seriously spendy to keep a 50+ year old car licensed and on the road in Japan. Either Ataru is making more money than we realized, or (more likely) the artist wanted to add an extra layer of quirkiness to her character.

A guy named Malcolm Bricklin bought a few container loads of them and sold them on the US west coast in the late ‘60s/early ‘70s. Just California, Oregon and Washington. Growing up near Seattle, I remember seeing a few on the road. Yeah, I’m that old. And yeah, I’m a big time car lover.

Bricklin got up to some weird shit - he also brought in the Yugo, as well as sold a car of his own design, the Bricklin SV-1 (for "safety vehicle.") But yeah, that was the first Subaru sold in the U.S. - makes even a Fiat 500 look big!

(Also note that, at least in the US, Subarus are the stereotypical lesbian car.)

And the other is taught in dance schools.

Guess she confessed?

In Colorado, owning a Subaru just makes you a local. Lots of jokes/memes about it.

noooo DAME DA YO potato chips

Would it really be a yuri manga if we didn’t have a tragic childhood friend lesbian who confesses too late? (in this case literally multiple decades too late)

I’m still hoping that all of Ataru’s lesbian angst has a happy ending and she can get together with Kyouko or someone else.

Oof she just confessed, didn’t she?

Hopefully, Sakuma will find the right words to let her down gently ! Ataru knows full well that Sakuma is in a very happy relationship anyway so I doubt she has her hopes up. It's probably more of an '' I need to get this off my chest'' situation.

I just want to take a moment to give a shout out to how nicely Sakuma's hair is drawn there, I really like that detail.

... ? Isn't this just about a misunderstanding, where Sakuma thinks they still have to work out the details of their company but Ataru has already gone ahead and made it happen ...
