Not to mention that Koga is so dense that even if Aya took out a billboard that said, “I, Aya, have romantic feelings toward Mitsuki. Also, FYI, two girls can have sex, and I want to have it with her,” Mitsuki would find a way to think it meant something else.

"Are those song lyrics? They sound sick! Can I use them in my next song?"

People have just had bad experiences with manga in the past. What seems obviously the case has sometimes not mattered, so some probably want really explicit confirmation before getting their hopes up.

I would say that in my case at least it’s far less about the fear of yuri-baiting than it is the fact that this series requires a lot of inferences about exactly what the characters are feeling at any given time and what they understand about their own feelings and the feelings of others—the whole series is based on a pretty big (and fairly extended) misunderstanding, after all.

Not to mention that Koga is so dense that even if Aya took out a billboard that said, “I, Aya, have romantic feelings toward Mitsuki. Also, FYI, two girls can have sex, and I want to have it with her,” Mitsuki would find a way to think it meant something else.

Yeah we're on the same page there--inferences and educated assumptions. The expectation is that they'll eventually become upfront with their feelings and that the series will too (and I'm sure both will happen, they're already happening). I think the caution some have is based on series that never evolved past the dependence on inferences.

Lol--exactly.

With Mitsuki then turned away hunched over her guitar and Aya spluttering and pointing at the billboard in the background. (But I adore them both.)

Aya could kiss Mitsuki (with tongue!), look her in the eyes, and tell her "Take your pants off," and Mitsuki would wonder if she did something wrong and if her pants look ugly.

I love the girl, but she's denser'n a store-bought fruitcake.

I really don't think Mitsuki is that dense, she's just got major self esteem issues. Remember what she thought the fallout would be if she told Aya who she was at the beginning of the comic? She's been slowly coming out of her shell but you can tell from how she reacted to Aya saying Mitsuki should publicize her song that she still thinks very negatively, especially when she's imagining how other people will react to her.

The point is that "density" = signals are being sent that she's not receiving or that she's misinterpreting, whatever the underlying psychological reason.

Re: Chap 77

Giving vague answers and letting people interpret it the way they want is half-assed? More like delightfully diabolical. :D

The drama CD's release date has been postponed to April 24. I wonder, will there be a digital release?

I just saw that. I was hoping I could double up on the new pop-up and my preorder for the audio drama in the same shipment, but looks like I'll just be perpetually donating to the proxy service fund. I've not heard anything about a digital version in any of the advertising I've read. Japan is pretty big on physical music releases more than most places still. Amazon.jp and Animate don't even have placeholders for it so I'm leaning either no, or not until after the physical release.

A digital 4p comic would be the best for scanlation. cough

Maybe some new merch would pop up by the time the CD is released, we've had a lot of them recently. Bummer about the digital version though, and yeah a digital booklet would be the dream lol.

Meanwhile, Mao's going all-in on Narita-kun. Kinda wonder if he'd be interested, though. He's not shown much interest in anything but cheering on his OTP for a long while now.

side couple in future chapters

Literal wet puppy Koga.

Aya's smile on the fourth page is so good. I love this series so much <3

Aya-rizz.

Mitsuki is the androgynous one but Aya is super gay XD

Aya saw what was wrong right away and just undid all the bad thought in Mitsuki's brain with a single warm, heartfelt smile. If that's not love, I don't know what is :⁠,⁠-⁠)

"When the rain is gone, a rainbow will show"

If that isn't proof, I don't know what is.

I feel there is some kind of Reversal going on in this chapter. Is it finally Aya's time to be perilously smooth?

Aya pulling one of her hidden rizzzz.....ata gurl!

Very nice. :)

"You're one and the same" felt like it was probably the perfect thing to say. It would be fun if this leads to Mitsuki eventually easing up a bit and bringing out more of her true self in public. She has a friend group now that would wholeheartedly support her.

"a rainbow will shine"

gay.

Wait a minute............. I CALL SHENANIGANS!!! Since when do rom-com manga characters (especially well drawn, likeable main characters) engage in meaningful and timely communication about their relationship, without drawing out the misunderstanding for 5000+ chapters?

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

Nop~ It goes under the arm of the side of the good leg. Last week people corrected the author. So in the post after this chapter the author said sorry and thanks for the correction.

You can google it or even better ask someone with better info but is not exactly a "repleacement of the leg" but more like a help for balance without alter the natural movement in walking, and it helps so that the half of the weight goes to the crutch.

But doesn't that apply to cases where you are actually using your injured leg, thus needing the support for balance? Here she isn't using her injured leg at all (in which case I'd imagine she would benefit more from a pair of crutches rather than just the one?).

If the case is you can't use the foot at all, yes, a pair of them is needed. I don't really know for sure if Koga is able to touch with her foot tho; yes, in all panels we see Koga with the foot up, but since it says "terrible sprain"....honestly this is better analysed if it was a real person hahaha
For example: I had a sprain in which I couldn't walk but could ""touch"" the floor (tho the pain was awful) and I needed a support to walk, tho because... me hahah (Im a beast, not in the good way(?) I chose a broom and used it like a crutch hahaha And it kinda worked (note: people use a crutch. I end up with others pains later)

So basically for the case of one crutch, I think it really depends to the person and injury that is talked in the moment and the specialist

With more evidence, it does look like not adjusting the stock dual-crutch pose further after fixing the wrong arm issue, as with the crutch it's always a standing still pose (the crutch would align with the hurt leg and the foot wouldn't be raised so much while walking) and Koga isn't that careful with her foot in the panels without the crutch.
