Laying the groundwork for this image

What a chad uncle.

uncle of the year, needs his own side story lol

I wish my uncle was like that.
Instead I'm stuck with a flat-earther and pseudo-historian conspiracy theorist.

The serenade scene is coming.

I wonder if uncle ever had to do a serenade when he was her age? He seemed like he knew what to do instantly once he started to gather what the actual problem was. Also fantasic coloring as always!!!

Don’t think he knows whats going on tbh. I am pretty sure he is talking about Mitsuki’s relationship with music, not Aya.
So he has no idea what caused Mitsuki to not want to listen to music (which is obviously loosing a friend with whom she could bond over music)

"Anyway, here's Wonderwall."

Uh oh, she's gonna learn to play the guitar.

What the Uncle said sounded like she has already learned how to play the guitars he had lent her, she's just never owned one herself.

Ah crap, you're right. Eyes went over that text.

She already has a guitar, you can see it in Chapter 8 when she is removing the black nail polish.

Ooh. Some advice that can be applied to more than one thing.
Thanks for being so wonderful, uncle.

I guess Mitsuki cares for Aya much more for her to be depressed enough not to listen to music for a while. Wonder when she'll realize she's romantically attracted to Aya? What a cool uncle! Wish I have the same, hahaha

And you beat me too haha

I’m glad the Twitter subtitles were added… gives a little more character to the chapter :)

Oof. I blame the lead water pipes from the 80s and earlier. Not even kidding. Definitely had some effect on my older family members once they mentally checked out starting traditional retirement age. Suggested to my dad that he take some classes if he was bored, and he straight up told me that he was done with learning. It wasn't even four months later that he started down the conspiracy shit. Me being lgbtq+, we can't even talk now because he can't control his mouth (like mentally, you can see it in his eyes, it's heartbreaking) and doesn't have anything to talk about except whatever Fox-Facebook-Qanon slush combo he's digested.

Take your parents to concerts, museums, libraries, and encourage continuous learning, folks. Take a community college course together during a weeknight (many will let you audit(?) them for free). Anything to keep them interested in life and intellectually stimulated. Mental decline is absolutely no joke, and there are predators in the media that are always gunning to take advantage of that.

Besides, there's way too much good music out there nowadays to not go experience it!!

My uncle doesn't follow western media, not even Fox or QAnon, and balkan Facebook is much less crazy than western Facebook. In fact, my uncle is kinda anti-Western. Certainly anti-German and to a somewhat lesser extent anti-Anglo. Flat-Earth aside, most of his conspiracy theories, including all of the pseudo-histories, are of the Serbist school of pseudo-history and conspiricism.

What with my mother being a teacher and my dad being huge into history, and with both at times engaging in conversations with me and others to learn from each other, I think they would be very much down for that (if we can afford it)

Yeah. Unfortunately most of the newer music they get exposed to nowadays is stuff neither I nor much of my family really like, despite the music's popularity with much of my generation, so they generally tend to go for stuff ranging from the 70s to the 2000s, while I find newer songs that are sadly more obscure here, even if such music may be popular internationally or at least in certain online communities.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Cute young Mitsuki pictures in the flashback

Mitsuki is really lucky to have a parental figure 100% looking out for her and being supportive like that. It's a cliché but feeling like you have someone on your side really makes all the difference in the world when you're a teenager.

Ngl, having people in your life who are like this is actually pretty nice. Got my first bass like that. No questions asked but “you like that one? cool”.

Don’t think he knows whats going on tbh. I am pretty sure he is talking about Mitsuki’s relationship with music, not Aya.

He might not know exactly what's going on, but he probably suspects it's about Aya. It's the biggest change in Mitsuki's life recently, and he can probably guess it has something to do with Mitsuki's mood being down.

For the song, we thinking original song or rock cover?

"All Apologies" by Nirvana would be perfect.

Every day we get closer to that picture of Aya falling in love Mitsuki on stage.

I can't wait.

This was my suspicion as well. It's his music shop, I'm sure he's probably noticed the lack of Aya in it has corresponded with his niece's change in mood.

Color me jealous AF

Honestly I would lose my shit, you're totally right!

aaahhh she's so in love it's hard to listen to music because it makes her think of her

that's so cute
