The unnamed patrons who crowd the tavern are not just background filling. They are the secret heroes of the story.

I love how they keep ordering food and drinks no matter what happens. (I really feel like some umeshu and croquettes right now!)

And the EXPLOSION OF REJOICING when the waitress finally gathers the courage to ask Midori her contact info? Epic, that.

That was not what she was supposed to ask!! Grr.

The meaning of Midori's words is transparent. « You see, I did my best and broke up with my asshole boyfriend! Now it's your turn to do your best! Do what you have to do! » It's fucking obvious she has realized Kyouko's feelings and wants Kyouko to confess!!!!

Midori knows these things take courage so she made a public display of courage to inspire Kyouko.

And how does Kyouko react? She barely manages to ask Midori her contacts!! Rejoice? Pshaw. Talk about a letdown. :(

She did confess... in a Japanese way. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Natsume Sōseki said it: Japanese sensibility wants subtlety and nuance. That's why rather than saying "I love you" you should say "The moon is beautiful, isn’t it?"
Or like Madarame said to Saki: "That day you had a nose hair sticking out!" lol
Or like Kyouko said to Midori: "Could you tell me your contact info?"

The love message is perfectly conveyed like that.

I'm glad someone picked up this series! Kyouko is very cute

I'm pretty sure its a bi-weekly release, volume 1 is out. I'm not sure what the scanlation team schedule is though.

Waheyy! That's exciting. No pressure on the scanlators though.

If this was a one-shot, I would have been satisfied.

Knowing that it's a series... now, I'm excited.

Doesn't the bartender look like Tomo-chan?

Call it divine justice, the world going back into balance, whatever. We got a gay Tomo-chan!

I think people in general prefer to confess in private, instead of in front of an audience. Kyouko also mentioned it earlier that she would prefer to meet with Midori off the clock. I believe she will confess properly when they're alone.

Honestly I do rather like how the waitress and her brother ask themselves "why are they even still together" and that that question is just resoundingly answered at the end of the chapter with "yeah she had to save up money first to be financially stable after breaking up with him"

Which on it's own is pretty grim but it financial dependency is the reality of a lot of relationships and I like how this story handles that even if it is easily glossed over.

This was possibly my favorite part of the chapter. Financial dependence causing women to stay in bad relationships is unfortunately common IRL but you very rarely see it depicted in fiction.

That's standard when one of the MCs starts out going out with a guy. What's the problem?

Same, and the cheating one did as well. But I'm glad we're past that lol. The patrons being supportive asf though probably means there won't be many sexuality issues
