I do wonder what Mitsuki plans on doing. Being a musician is such a meh way of answering it tbh. Just because you are passionate about music doesn’t mean you will drop everything to pursue such a career, specially given how she DOES NOT want to stand out — if that weren’t the case, she’d be playing in other occasions other than the afterparty. I think it would be nice if she decided to do something related to business administration (or whatever else you can study to be a manager), given her work at her Uncle’s store. The idea of Mitsuki taking over and being the rocker-looking store manager like her Uncle while in her 40s is really cool.

I would not even be that surprised if she did drop everything to pursue a career in music, but she definitely wouldn't write it in her career path form.

The story has been focusing on the high school life and the potential yuri, so for it to shift like that (turn into one of the MCs wanting to be a musician despite wanting to be a wallflower who has no friends among her peers) would be kinda weird.
That’s why I am thinking of something related to the store. Even if it turns out to be not getting any form of education to continue the “family business” but keep working there after graduating and that’s that.

It's weird that you think the only career she can get into in music is to be some kind of rockstar. Plenty of musicians do background stuff, you know.

I didn’t really say that. I’m just saying that becoming a professional musician is something that’d feel forced for the character. I wouldn’t really call something like a sound engineer a musician... Therefore working in the music industry is another thing. I agreed with @Astraea Hill ‘s comment for that exact reason.

My point with emphasising the store is that this is the closest thing we have of a possible career path for her: working at a CD/Record Store, eventually taking it over and being the owner/manger. It’s still dealing with the music business.

Sound engineer is also not the only kind of background musical career you can have.
Y'know those people who play in backup bands? Record background tracks for musicians? Playing music is not all about putting yourself out there and trying to be a big star.

I'm not saying that's what she should do with her life. We've only seen a little bit of her playing. It's just that you don't have to want to be the centre of attention to be in the musical world.

Just to clarify, her career-path form is still completely blank, correct?

No matter how many times I read it (and I lost count hahaha); I keep wondering, if Aya is acting like this, having gay panics just from seeing Koga (like ch 40, at the start with that little panic), what will be of her when she figures out her feelings; the more deep ones hahaha

Mitsuki and her uncle are making me discover new things about my preferences.

Meanwhile I am more confused than ever. I wanna look like Mitsuki but I so would date a guy like Uncle Joe, specially his younger version (the dilf one is nice too).
I need to do some self-reflection.

Apparently there is an official spotify playlist now. I don't have the app to double check what songs they have listed, but that's a neat thing to go along with her book release today.

"The official playlist of the manga released today....now available https://umj.lnk.to/TheGuySheWasTP
The song that Mitsuki and Aya are listening to is selected by the author Sumiko Arai."

I just receive the manga. Sumiko-sensei did a wonderful job! Color pages at the beginning, a long additional chapter at the end, and bonuses (and three different bonuses depending on where you buy it). No wonder she couldn't release new chapters lately… I hope she's not overworked.

Anyway, it's a real pleasure to finally having it in my hands. I hope the internation audience will have a release as well to support the author!

Oh! if is not problem, could u tell about the bonus if they are images or mini stories? No need to tell what it's if u don't want, I respect the people don't want to show it since it just came up for sale~ It's curiosity, if it adds some info that is good to know (tho surely not, so it's fair for all ~ )

So do all four booklets have different story content or just different illustrations? I've got two coming (winter and summer), but I'm trying to talk myself out of getting the other two since I can't find them without books and I already got cough number of books to resell here in the US. Which might be easy to do or not since they are in Japanese.

I was looking in the author Tw post and rt; and tho there are specific illustrations; there is too 4 limited magazines (autumn, spring, summer and winter), each one with 8 pages telling a short story, and each one different from another~

(Correct me if Im wrong tho)

Edit: OMG I tried to see if I could buy one and is already without stock! (winter magazine + manga)
Edit 2: In Toranoana, they have the autumn maganize to sell individualy

Here is a picture of all of them together: https://twitter.com/chopsticks_sp85/status/1648268673902346241?s=20

I have Winter and Summer along with the movie theater postcard ordered. But it's starting to dry up out there and 99% of the time they are listed with books. Try Mercari in Japan (via Buyee if you aren't local) and you can still find some with booklets for inflated prices.

Eventually I'll put a few of my extra books on Mercari US. I don't need all of these dupes. Get some circulating here. Heh.

I used Buyee to ask for one, but given the price is a "only" manga, I will use buyee again for the autumn one, but winter is without stock (plus is with manga) and the others two (spring and summer) only could find them with the manga

Will keep searching after dinner

Edit: ufff is true.... in Buyee the prices are already insane....will try the official pages, but wow. At least could order for the autumn one from a offcial page

I see a 7,999 yen listing on Mercari/Buyee for 1 manga + the 3 non-Autumn booklets. A little spendy, but it'd solve your problem all in one go. I think I'm done myself. I was just lucky to already have a Buyee box open for something else when this dropped or I wouldn't have done as much as I did.

Oh! I can't find it, and Im new to Buyee too. How can I search for it? I always used the " Yahoo! Buy" because I searched for offical pages and so

joined Apr 2, 2023

The top bar on Buyee it should say...
Yahoo! JAPAN Auction | Yahoo! JAPAN Shopping | Mercari | Rakuten ... etc.

Just have Mercari selected and then do your search as normal. It lets you select what shop to focus your search from.
