If a have to choose the part I like most of this chapter, is 100% the part when their friends ask Koga if she is okey since she doesn't like to be the center of attention. Not the "omg you are going viral!!!" but check first how is she with this situation <3

Agreed. It's nice to see friends act like real friends and not just people who hang out together.

And that was the day when Aya can no longer harness Koga to herself.

You know, because a harness was only made for one.

I think gyaru MC deserves Idiot Couple status.

Let's wait for them to get together before we give them that one. For now, let Aya have and hold her Useless Lesbian card.

She was explicitly told to her face "let's be friends" by Mitsuki, who she knew was fully aware of her romantic feelings. She's been dropping hints and being suggestive, signaling possibility, but the ball is fully in Mitsuki's court when it comes to making the first move thanks to that semi-rejection.
That term is generally one I really don't like and part of that is people use it to describe characters who aren't in any way actually failing themselves like Aya. Who is that "useless lesbian" useless to? Is she useless at pursuing her own interests, or is she just useless to satisfy your expectations and impatience as the audience.

You’re wording it as if Mitsuki was aware that Aya had feelings for HER and not the “HIM” Aya thought she was.

Mitsuki offered friendship because at the time, Aya was avoiding her. (Also, she said “Will you be my friend” not “let’s be friends”)

She's been dropping hints and being suggestive, signaling possibility, but the ball is fully in Mitsuki's court when it comes to making the first move thanks to that semi-rejection.

Aya hasn’t been “dropping hints” because when folks “drop hints,” they’re intentionally trying to show the other person that they have feelings.

Aya hasn’t been doing that. Aya is just easy to read and her feelings for Mitsuki is obvious (from a readers POV).

Not only that, but from Mitsuki’s POV, I bet she assumed that Aya stopped having feelings for her once she found out she was a girl.

“Aya only has feeling for Onii-chan.” Is probably the thought process.

I don’t think it even counts as a rejection, let alone a “semi-rejection” because Mitsuki asked “Will you be my friend?” because she wanted to get closer to Aya.

Mitsuki most likely assumed Aya is straight (especially with how Aya avoided her after finding out she was a girl) so Aya’s feelings for “her” weren’t taken into consideration when she asked about being friends.

That term is generally one I really don't like and part of that is people use it to describe characters who aren't in any way actually failing themselves like Aya. Who is that "useless lesbian" useless to? Is she useless at pursuing her own interests, or is she just useless to satisfy your expectations and impatience as the audience.

“Useless lesbians” are “useless” when it comes to their feelings, it’s not meant to be a serious thing at all.

"my Crush" Dying in Gay Panic

Before you get too excited, the original word was "my Oshi." The scanlators like to translate it to "crush" for this series but Oshi is actually used to refer to an artist you love and support

Yeees, although I've noticed a recurrent theme in stuff with an "Oshi" of how people aren't supposed to actually be in love with their oshi but they are anyway.

Probably intentional
I'm noticing a theme where Aya may be using the term to avoid acknowledging her gay feelings by pretending they are just feelings of admiration for a talented artist

Thanks for the translation, always so quick!

I've catched a mistake in the last panel though. What the Japanese means is more along that line "somehow, the gap is huge for both of them". Not "in between them".

Thanks. You're right, I read a bit too fast.

The meaning is that they both have a huge gap in their personalities.

One is cool when singing and awkward otherwise

The other is aggressive towards the kouhais, but sweet towards Koga.

If Hime is so into gap moe, she better not to fall for both Koga and Aya. Her heart may not be able to handle it.

Did a binge read from the beginning, it's interesting to see how much the characters have changed without changing at all. I'm really impressed with the character development with so few pages and panels. Kinda makes me want to make all the other manga artists read this and then let them rework their series into something better, (shorter, concise, and focused).
