Shiho haters keep crying
BASED

Honestly I stopped reading at volume 7 because this is boring as shit, but the Shiho hate train keeps me coming back to the comments lol

I'm kinda more looking forward to the comments too. See you all next month, because whatever the next chapter is, I will probably not like it :P

i think that this (and the next chapter or 2) will probably end this whole arc. and hopefully we’lll be able to see more of the other characters again. don’t get me wrong, i LOVE shiho, but she has admittedly taken up about 3 years of this manga, and we do need a break. i’m hoping we’ll be able to see her and aki developing more in the background. even if they don’t end up together, i’m hoping for them to at least cut ties and become friendly again.

My brain: No more Shiho for a while after this Arc. Other characters need to be in the spotlight to refresh the manga.

My heart: More Shiho please.

real

Shiho is very pretty

When new chapter?:/

When new chapter?:/

In 10 days, and it's going to be a long one.

Volume 8 will also be out on the same date (and Shiho and Aki are on the cover, as expected).

Chapter 43 of the comic has been updated, and I can already imagine that there will be a lot of people debating the content of this chapter once it's updated here.

But there's no need to argue anymore, as Shiho and Aki's storyline has also come to an end. The next step should be to depict the stories of other characters.

Chapter 43 is out, but it hasn't been posted here yet, so I'll write my first impressions as a spoiler:

Overall, I'm satisfied with this kind of resolution for the Arc. Although I wasn't a fan of the idea of Aki "falling in love" (in a "Hey, let's start over and let's see how it goes" kinda way, at least for now) with Shiho so quickly and sharing her feelings in front of everyone, now that it happened I can't say that I hate it (well, I won't deny that the author's exceptional drawing skills makes everything much easier to digest). But more importantly, this makes the whole band competition's premise relevant again in retrospective, so it feels appropriate from a narrative perspective at least.

The extras of Volume 8 seem to indicate that the next Arc will focus primarily on... Miki (Aki's sister) and her Senpai from the swimming club. I'd personally be interested in that, but I can understand if many here would be disappointed by it.

I think it's because of the cultural difference, but in our country, no one hates Shiho like this. Everyone wants Shiho to be happy with Aki. So this chapter (43) is one of the most appreciated chapters in the whole series

where did you guys read the new chapter???

Mangadex

the Volume 8 extras are also out on Mangadex and i'm trying to remember who that other person in the second Omake with Miki is. Totally forgot about that character, who's that again?

Her senpai from swimming club, we've seen her just once in chapter 38, she doesn't even have a name yet.

Nice extras, and another couple coming up?

Yeah I've tried to discuss that reality before but to middling effect. Yeah they're very popular. There's a reason they've had the focus for so long.

My take on this chapter:

I liked this resolution. They're starting over and now have the ability to build a romance if they want to over time, since Aki's realized that she no longer is hung up on her past romance and is therefore open to a new one (she realized this a couple chapters ago). Aki's deciding to be open to a relationship again with someone she never wanted to lose in the first place and whatever form that winds up taking over time, is whatever. It'll likely end up romantic though, especially since Shiho still likes her and the only real impediment back then had been Aki's old crush.

This is how I wanted it to end, not really a confession of love but a rekindling of something unnecessarily lost. They both apologized but most importantly, finally got all their feelings and emotions out. Now they're free to work together and start a new relationship again, free of unrequited loves and unnecessary pressures

Well, Shiho, I guess you're an idiot after all. :P

Beautiful. ^_^

:') good for them

I won't lie, the series hooked me with the two MCs and the Aki/Shiho plot felt like.. more time that could have been used on the main characters!

Though if I had to pick between a shorter version of this story without the Aki/Shiho arc I would pick this, the art and content is great!

So let me get this straight--all's well with Shiho's over-the-top shenanigans because Aki has changed?

"Don't blame me if you end up regretting this." Well, that's certainly consistent characterization, at any rate.

Honestly I stopped reading at volume 7 because this is boring as shit, but the Shiho hate train keeps me coming back to the comments lol

I'm kinda more looking forward to the comments too. See you all next month, because whatever the next chapter is, I will probably not like it :P

ME TOO! i stoped reading the manga and let chapters acumulate and when i came back i instantly gone to the comments to check how the story is going and if it was worth to pick it up, only to find out that the manga started to focus on an Bitch an that turn me off from picking the manga again, it’s a shame but meh coudn’t care less about shiho and aki.

BUT I continue reading the comments XD

Well that's an arc resolved, good for them, glad they finally got their baggage sorted and can face eachother properly.

Now hopefully back to our regularly scheduled programme.

(Also don't get me wrong I love these two, but we've been pretty heavy on the B plot lately and I just want more fluffy stuff with our 2 MCs and a little less teen angst.)
