Official English version coming eventually, as well as ten other languages across the globe. This is a huge list, omg. Especially for queer fiction that started as something independently published on twitter? Incredible.

Hah, I'm greatly amused to find out it's going to he getting an English release since I picked up a Japanese copy of the first two volumes like a week ago just to have them since I honestly never expected an English release. It really is amazing how big this little Twitter manga has become.

Narita-kun, I've come to like you and what you bring to this manga a lot, but your presence is very much unwanted this time, so please leave and let the lovebirds alone at the dang festival :⁠‑⁠X

I could just hear the dramatic piano music when the spotlight came in.

Speedrun to the festival day. Just as we like to see.

What a bunch of adorable idiots... :D

Dang-it Narita! I didn't like his character at all when he was introduced (as Jerk-face IIRC), because I thought he'd get in the way of the two ladies getting together. I'd like to think that I'm a big enough person to admit when I'm wrong, and up until today I WAS WRONG. BUT, then he pulls this crap, and my first thought was "Ýep, Jerk-face was dead on accurate".

"was this manga always like this?", ha, ha, nice breaking the fourth wall there Mitsuki.

was this manga always like this? should be a real tag

Has this promo-interview with drama CD's cast been posted yet?

伊瀬さんは今回「Creep」の歌唱パートがありました。

owo

WOOOHOOOO!!! Classic Narita is back getting in the way of the two lovebirds like the old Jerkface we know and love/hate. XD

Don't be too quick to judge. Don't forget, they're amazingly useless lesbians--they might be deeply in need of a push from a wingman.

Meanwhile, Uncle is such an awesome dork. It's nice when it's a story about teens but some of the adults have actual personalities rather than just being "responsible parental figure #3".

What does isn't there somebody here mean?

Think it's Narita saying he'll take the last free ticket. Why is he getting hate? He's always been chill, no? Seems like he wants to go to a music festival with friends too. He'll probably end up helping them again.

Or worse yet, the perennial manga "parents who are never there," whose personalities consist entirely of being "mom who works way too hard because the family is poor," "absent dad who only cares about work," "both parents who travel all the time," or "mom/dad who has another family," etc.

As you say, Joe has a past life, a present circle of friends, and has been a profound influence on his cool-adorkable niece.

Arita is clearly leaning forward in the car to distract the adults and give the girls some space for sneaky handholding by blocking the rear-view mirror.

You forgot the "abusive controlling parent who want their progeny to be perfect (or worse, heterosexual)".

And while it might seem like he's in the way, he's doing them a major favor by letting them each sit in the real seats back there

New interview just came out. It's mostly about Mitsuaya relationship and music choices, but she outed herself as a Glee fan in a comment related to Aya and I think I'll have to ponder this further.

True, although they're usually all-too-present in the story, so we do get a look at their (horrible) personalities.

It makes me wonder if we'll ever get any of Koga's backstory to explain where her parents are, or if this is just (in TV Tropes terms) the usual Nephewism, with a cool replacement-parent figure.

That's a solid point actually, I hadn't factored that in at all. You might turn out quite right in the end :O

I don't know. I story with "Parent #3" sounds like it's doing something unusual, at least.

Arita is clearly leaning forward in the car to distract the adults and give the girls some space for sneaky handholding by blocking the rear-view mirror.

More like saving them from the awkwardness of being pressed up against each other with the parental figures right there. Of course, going by Kanna's reaction, everyone in that car knows the score.

As an aside, I thought the little shoulder bump (at least that's what it looked like to me) was cute

Love how pissed she is she can't sit next to her Crush lmao
