As I said on first page of comments, I'm down for the Mayu end-game. Much better than the teacher we have no characterization on.

Yeah, ngl, I'm a bit sad that she stopped being present in the story...

Hm. I wonder what he could be interested in asking this new girl to do. So many possibilities, the mind boggles...

I don't know what is meant by a "Tosa Girl" but I assume it doesn't mean she's from Wauwatosa

EDIT: THIS IS INCORRECT, SEE POSTS BELOW

I don't usually put too much attention into those little banner narrations but since you've mentioned it, I presume it to be short for TOkyo School of the Arts, since that seems to be where she's looking to apply as well

Oh! That makes sense; thanks! I assumed it was a region or town or something.

They're in Ehime Prefecture on Shikoku (in Matsuyama city mostly, dunno if protag's house is within the area or in a nearby town), the new girl is from the neighbouring Kochi Prefecture (formerly Tosa Province), probably recognizable in the raws by her speaking in one of the dialects from there.

Ah, that'd do it

Haro doesn't need a brush, he should just dip his wick in and paint with it

I felt like going full geoguessr on the panels and here's the result.

At the beginning of each part there's a link to a big map with the places marked on it. There are a few entries for panels from future chapters, but without any spoilers. Lemme know if google maps links are not working or if I f-ed up somewhere.

The places I've failed to locate are Satou's store, Mayu's apartment (these two are likely manga-original) and this street from chapter 1 (for this one there are multiple things to go by, including the washed out stop marking seemingly facing the wrong way - there actually are a few painted like this in the city so it's not necessarily a mistake - but I still couldn't find a match).

Bumping to mention that I've expanded the above post into a full guide

In the future chapters there's a good view of Iyobi's immediate surroundings, but as far as I can tell it's manga-original stuff.
