Ahh, the pain in Aya's eyes with the new chapter has me feeling sad :( I have no idea how she is going to handle this ;___;
I hope that we do not experience the unrequited love storyline. At first, we watch Aya become infatuated with CD Shop Mitsuki, who kind of plays along without thinking much of it (only trying to figure how to come clean to Aya). Now, it appears as though Mitsuki has gotten attached to Aya since they have interacted more, and I think this helped resolve some of Mitsuki's loneliness. But when she says, "Have you been looking forward to it that much?" Aya comes to some realization that something is up, and you can see from the expression on her face. She is putting something cognitively together and is...perplexed.
I think it has been another interesting parallel in regards to this chapter because we see Mitsuki excited and happy to see that Aya wants to talk about music with her. Since she leaves the classroom happy while Aya is confused... while in chapter 3 with Mitsuki letting Aya borrow her CD which leaves Aya happy and Mitsuki perplexed about what she is doing.
Feelings are definitely going to be hurt. But I feel like it's not gonna be unrequited love and maybe exploring feelings one experiences at a young age like other hetero love stories. I have faith in Arai Sumiko bc their other stories are A1! We deserve a cute mutual wlw love story!
