Yeah if Uncle moves, Mitsuki moves with him (unless I'm wrong, and he's not her guardian?). So, Kanna isn't wrong, even if she's having a whole lot of fun teasing. Can't see them separating though and I don't think Uncle would forcefully move Mitsuki.

Ah and Kanna totally knows what is going on hahaha, so she telling this to Aya, I doubt is not to provoke something in both of them

I don't think there's much of an actual risk of Mitsuki leaving , but it will be cute seeing Aya get all crestfallen about it for a minute. I hope we'll get another smooth Mitsuki moment out of it , where she'll be ''why would I leave if you're right here with me'' and Aya will just melt in a puddle of gay emotions :P

Yeah, this series has been one “feathers get ruffled for the pleasure of smoothing them down again” event after another. I see no reason to expect anything different this time.

Pfff Aya is totally in love, no joke XD I think she's starting to realize so herself we just haven't heard her internal monologue yet lol

Sorry, Kanna-san, you may be very cool, but I'm still gonna have to call the yuri police on you.

You know, I gotta ask, what's the Yuri Police's mandate and jurisdiction?

Nice to be finding out a little bit of Joe's backstory

Mandate, preventing crimes against yuri. In this case, attempted breaking up of a yuri couple.

Jurisdiction... uh... most of Yurasia?

1. I don't like the guy character. I don't really think he need to be there anymore and is sort of just third wheeling the main two

2. I can't beleive we're still in the "totally don't even recognize our relationship as ever being possibly romantic" and "getting overly blushy over an indirect compliment" stage. Plus, the whole "I don't actually have a crush on her, I just admire her because she looks cool and I think she's brave" bs. I thought we were over those sort of stereotypes in yuri, but I guess this author wanted to do a period piece.

This chapter title got me all excited for finally some sort of development away from the usual sterotypes of the last 20-30 chapters, but it ended up just being gross. I don't care that the token straight guy thinks the girls are cute. Who gives a shit.

Tropes are not stereotypes and stereotypes are not tropes.
One is "preconceived notions or expectations about a particular subject without proper basis to actually make such assumptions" the other is "commonly used narrative scenarios regardless of accuracy; the defining criteria is simply that they are commonly used."

IE stereotypes are bad, tropes are not inherently good OR bad, they merely are.
The examples you "list" in this manga are tropes, not stereotypes, there's a world of difference and there's nothing wrong with them in themselves.

Jurisdiction... uh... most of Yurasia?

LOL

Also, I came here to say that I hope everyone is appreciating Aya’s cheek shine, because it deserves appreciation!

Our major drama rears its head once again

If I had to guess the way this'll go, Aya will eventually confess and it'll keep Mitsuki there. I hope. Please confess lol

Ha! I figured she was Joe's ex....

I dunno, I’m not too fond of “since you confessed and we’re together now I’ll stay”. If an opportunity comes a knocking you should take it. I thought maybe from the original images mitsuki might go to LA then come back and run into aya again but probably not

Someone confessing to you is an opportunity you might want to take.

also you just get killed in america

I'm gonna convey what this last panel of chapter 19 feels to me like by using music, even if that's ultra cliched.

El Reno Renardo, "Camino Moria" (2007): Y vamos toda la peña cantando Manowar ("And all the gang, we march singing aloud Manowar songs")
Manowar, "Battle Hymn" (1982): The time to strike is NOW!

Aya, leave that silly child-like grunge stuff behind and embrace Power Metal. Be a woman. Greatnes waits for those who try. No-one can teach you, it's all inside. Those who never try, they're sure to fail. Be your own disciple. With nothing to repent. Grab that idiot coupletag and smash it harder than Scott Columbus legendary drums.

But that LA smog…

"I live in LA you see. I came to lure Mitsuki there."

So she's saying she wants Mitsuki to... join her in LA?

There is no non-yuri explanation to Aya's reactions there.

But that LA smog…

... makes beautiful sunsets.

I for one would have no interest in moving to Los Angeles. I often feel like the Japanese have an inferiority complex about the US--like the way so often when someone has an apparently incurable disease in a manga, and then when the risky treatment comes up, it's from America--either they have to go there to get the treatment (and it never mentions the previously well off family now being on the run from Yakuza loansharks) or some brilliant young surgeon learned about it in America and has come back with it. Really I don't think Japanese medical technology is behind North American medical technology, but it's never just some hotshot from the University of Tokyo, the American mystique demands it.

Of course, if your thing is rock music, I guess the US is genuinely the place. Not to, like, make it big because nobody does any more, but at least to experience ambience, go to cool clubs or what. LA might be a good place for that, I guess? I don't know what cities are happening these days. Austin?

Aya, you fool. Just move with her. You can get married in California, you know? It's the state least likely to strike same sex marriage from the Book. Unlike Japan having ONE district that gives civil union licenses smh

Noo Mitsuki don't go to L.A. That's urban design hell

... I often feel like the Japanese have an inferiority complex about the US--[...]

Author is probably an American living and working in Japan. They could be Japanese but don't seem to have grown up in Japan. Their other series on here even has a foreigner main character so this isn't surprising here.

Besides, it's not surprising that Kanna would be living in LA or U.S. since most Japanese abroad are residing in this city or country respectively.

But I wouldn't want to be going to LA either, yikes.

I wouldn't be surprised at all if the author has lived in the U.S., at least at some point in their life.
