And now the friends think she's being abused at home...even though she ACTUALLY fell down the stairs.

So they accidentaly married

Hmmmm, just throwing it out there, but what if, just WHAT IF, Aya had read enough manga to know that at this point she's gonna have to chase Mitsuki all over God's creation to make any progress happen, SO, she knocks her off the stairs to slow her down enough to actually make some sort of progress. Abusive and evil? Yes, but also effective. Also gives her an excuse to hang out at her house even more and faun over and spoil her crush.

Wait. This story had a Romance tag, right? Oh no, where did it go!? Why did they take it away!? Does that mean it's not a romances, after all? That it's a one sided love story. Or worse it's just a story of an ambiguously close friendship. Damnit those are the worst.

Aya was looking all adorable in this chapter.
look at that happy face.

shoutout to that one picture of will toledo where he looks like a 40 year old lesbian

Um, not to be rude, but I Googled him and there are multiple pictures that fit that description

The author does not personally tag the Dynasty Scans upload of her manga lol. They reflect what we've seen so far and expect, not necessarily what is planned.

It would be great if the manga got back to their relationship instead of all this musician angst drama. There's still hope, I guess.

The last panel contains traditional marriage vows in the inner dialog. How is that not relationship related?

With Aya's heart being pierced by a love arrow. Sometimes I wonder if some users are actually using their eyes.

The manga has been very obvious about Aya being in love with Mitsuki and unsure about Mitsuki's feelings in return, ever since she became the main perspective character with the "will you be friends with me" arc. She's signaled in a billion ways that her feelings for Mitsuki are if anything stronger than ever, especially since she can't gush them out all over her friends anymore. :P

Stairs are kryptonite to school girls.

Never thought i would see car seat headrest referenced in a manga...

Given the people I know who talk about listening to Car Seat Headrest, this manga is where I'd most expect to find a reference to their music, frankly

Mitsuki IS in love with aya, she said before and probably thinks that aya won't see her as a crush anymore because she now knows that mitsuki is a girl. Mitsuki doesn't get it aya's love because she isn't a normie and she is clueless about aya's or others showing affection romantically. I'm sure she will express her love for aya through music.
I hope their friends and family helps them in someway too

Someone should educate these girls about proper S&M techniques!

I wonder if that song was a love confession or something except Aya couldn’t understand it because the lyrics were in english

I don't think so, chapter 65 heavily implies the kind of song Mitsuki wrote. I feel like the main focus now is for Mitsuki to finally be herself outside her zone of comfort, Aya encouraging her to share the song with the others is a push in that direction.

They're both for sure in love, but both convinced the others feelings are platonic. Even if there wasn't the "please be my friend" scene when Aya clearly was expecting something else, gay kids just tend to be really awkward in this exact way. There's implications for this series that they'll eventually get split up and reunite after a time skip, what with Joe's arc and a certain illustration on the author's twitter, and while that's "a trope" and "disappointing" it's also something I've seen multiple queer couples do IRL. I've done it too, but only as a hookup lol. The vast majority of queer people still don't come out until college at the earliest, so even if they felt a real connection to somebody in high school they don't act on it until some later reunion or chance encounter.

Also what the hell Aya, how can you be a fan of all those western artists yet not understand English well enough to figure out the lyrics to Mitsuki's song were wedding wovs?

Well, she understood enough to propose to Mitsuki immediately thereafter, if only inside her head.

When I was a teenager, I memorized dozens of japanese songs and barely understood a word of them.

Ikr, it's so confusing to be young and in love with someone as same gender, bcs I had myself a "best friend" and I didn't know it was love until 4 years later. 6 years later we talked again after years of being separated (we had a fight, and guess for what. Yes, jealousy) and she confessed to me but at that time we already had our other love ones.
It was so hard to understand bcs I'm bi and for her it was so clear what she felted but she was afraid to lose our friendship.

I really don't want this to our aya and mitsuki but well, I appreciate how the author is somewhat realistic

I'd love to see the pattern fade away, and I'm sure it's getting less common these days, but I can't actually imagine it fully leaving until it's no longer possible for a parent to put their child out on the street and deny them access to continued education and support.
I'm sure some people would balk, like "what's that got to do with this comic!?" but remember we still don't know why Mitsuki is living with her uncle instead of her parents, and Aya's family is still assuming she's straight and has a boyfriend, who knows how her parents would react to her coming out? And even if for our two protagonists these aren't their active present concerns, the existence of that fear cuts down on queer peers and role models and open discussions and self questioning.
I didn't know I was queer as a kid because I didn't know that was a category I could be, just a type of fictional character people on TV were, like "superhero" or "magical girl" or "furry". I was never even given the proper prompting to question myself until I was like 19. Even if I had asked the question earlier, I would have just ended up as part of the "teenage homelessness" statistics instead of the "adult queer permanently alienated from her parents" statistics.

Ok- so ive never had to use a crutch- but dosn't it go under the arm on the side with your bad leg?

You are right. The author probably had a brain fart and forgot. If you look at the chapter before this one, she is using the crutch right.

I'd like to see the gyaru gang have a little ''talk'' with that buzzcut McGee guy! Bullying Mitsuki like that for no reason, the little runt :S

She really is a lucky girl to have made all these friends who will stand on her side in such difficult times now. ^_^
