Ohhh, gonna add Muse, Passion Pit, and Bright Eyes to the guesses for the next bands. More realistically, I'd say Nine Inch Nails and Aphex Twins fit the band time period. Did we already have Red Hot Chili Peppers?

Not in the manga, but many people guessed it. I made a compilation of the bands so far. No RHCP.

I think next will be RHCP or Led Zeppelin.
I am surprised there is no Beatles. Sumiko should be covering the basics and stuff…

maybe the Who will show up. or David Bowie.

To say nothing of his looks.
Btw I hadn't noticed before how Mitsuki got her whole fashion sense from her uncle, down to the nails painted black.

I'd say, it's the other way around - the uncle copycatting Mitsuki as her approach with black nails brought cute girls into the shop, lol. I mean, he never wore it black before this chapter.

In reality though, not gonna be surprised if this is but the author's way of "bugfixing" that nails painting are a girls' only thing, as in, hey look, actual guys of the culture do it too, so it's not like Aya fell for feminine traits of her Onii-san. Not that it addresses the elephant in the room, which is the voice of a 17-year-old. But at this point, I don't think I want to care about any of that as for me personally the momentum of the story is somehow lost.

uh well it's kinda established mitsuki is goth and goth guys paint their nails black all the time. i think it's mitsuki who picked up everything from her uncle. she seems to be really close to him and probably looks up to him a lot

also, i wanna see smashing pumpkins and alice in chains show up!

Man ist torture reading this manga 4 pages not enough

Man ist torture reading this manga 4 pages not enough

It is torture but I come back every sunday begging for more.

the green background really gives it a touch of freshness :9 I love the author's style

She already got daddy's approval
Go get her girl

This is the playlist of a 40 year old man in denial of his age

I would have said a 50-year-old embracing his age.

the series or us readers? lol

Oh I love Joel's content but I missed that one video, it's great LOL and yeah I was kinda like that too a little... or maybe more than a little

This is quickly becoming one of my fav reads on DS. It's wholesome but flirty at the same time

Latest chapter just dropped on Twitter so I thought I should share this with you guys.

Bands shown/mentioned so far (as of Ch.13):

• Nirvana — Most referenced band. Ch.1: "Nirvana is just the best", Mitsuki's hoodie, Mitsuki listening to their hit song 'Smells Like Teen Spirit' on the last panel; In Ch.2-3 Mitsuki is wearing yet another Nirvana hoodie — this time with the smiley face on the front; Ch.7: Nirvana poster in Aya's room

  
  

• Foo Fighters — their Dream Widow project, Ch.3-4; Also, there is a poster from a 1995 gig at The Fillmore in San Francisco in Mitsuki's room in Ch.8, bottom right. Hard to spot but someone did.

• Pink Floyd — the CD Mitsuki is holding at Ch.5, Aya’s room has the Dark Side of the Moon poster on Ch.7, a poster in the shop's restroom in Ch.10.1

• Rolling Stones (Ch.7, Aya's room — kinda hard to spot but it's on page 2, it's a big poster on the top right of the last panel; Ch.8, Mitsuki’s room)

• AC/DC (Ch.8, Mitsuki’s room) highway to groan

• Radiohead (Mitsuki’s shirt Ch.10)
  

• The Velvet Underground (hoodie Mitsuki offers to Aya on Ch.10; here is the hoodie print)

• Gorillaz (Mitsuki’s tank top on Ch.11, a Demon Days poster in the shop's restroom on Ch.10.1)

The poster seems to be a fan art

• Arctic Monkeys (Mitsuki’s room, Ch.11, 1st panel: it’s a gig poster, but not exactly like the poster you find online. Sumiko probably made some changes so the AM initials would be seen)

Also Mitsuki's tattoo just straight up looks like a reference to the AM album cover.

• Blur (Aya’s playlist Ch.11)
• Black Sabbath (Aya’s playlist Ch.11)
• The Strokes (Aya’s playlist Ch.11)
• Pearl Jam (Aya's playlist Ch.12)
• Bon Jovi (Aya's playlist Ch.12)
• Beck (Aya's playlist Ch.12)
• Royal Blood (Figure It Out on Aya's playlist Ch.12)
• KISS (Ch. 10.1, in the resting room)

Honorable Mention: Indie Rock band Charly Bliss' "Heaven" is in one of the concept arts

Here is a playlist someone from the Discord created with the bands and albums mentioned: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/1gOJ3LlDjf2OmZgzYURVZs?si=DX-khKpoR66pYlwxvZfoFg

@wlftchtr82 thanks for putting that together.

Can't wait to get the translation of Ch.13

Amarrez handed me the series, so I guess I'll be the one to do it from now on.

I hope he'll make the plot gain a bit of momentum. Like he'll recognize Mitsuki and:
1. Either think Aya is a lesbian (because who could possibly turn him down)
2. Confront or blackmail Mitsuki (because he's a jerk)

But maybe we won't see him next week. Chapters don't exactly follow a sequence, like when in chapter 9 Aya pointed out that school Mitsuki is similar to work Mitsuki but then we got no follow-up

EXACTLY!

Aya blushing just gets to me, she's so fucking cute.

Stay in your lane, jerkface.

since Jerkface is having beef with Aya for standing up for Mitsuki, I think he will show up again.
