The legend of the rent...was way hardcore

Oh shit is this twat going to steal/destroy her notebook? WHY, even?

I thought it would be going in the direction of them forming a band or something, but I suppose this is possible as well.

Look at the title: “Catalyst.” That implies that he’s an agent for change, and not necessarily a bad one.

Maybe...maybe he wants to start a band with Mitsuki???

I sense that Aya and Mitsuki's relationship will undergo another change very very soon
More tension as the plot thread of Mitsuki's skill and talent as a musician becomes more and more well known
Really love how Arai Sumiko is developing this story
The way I see things, how the events are paced, especially in a 4 page format, is very well done
And it makes remembering what happened in the last chapter, whether it was the previous week or two weeks ago, easy rather than having to reread multiple chapters to recall the context

My maternal instincts kicked in full force the moment I saw this young guy pick up the notebook. Mitsuki must be protected! Mitsuki must not be hurt!!

And just as expected, it has happened.

Maybe Hime-chan and Nakajima are future band members...

She needs drums and bass

I think if the author wanted to throw some more trouble at Mitsuki, they could've made it a direct result of her social media success. There was no need to have it all settle down before some rando showed up.

So yeah, he might look like trouble, but that's just the look you want in a rock band. I'm calling member #2.

Uh oh.

she already got unwanted viral attention, now she's about to go round 2 with her song.

This definitely puts me on guard... Yes, it could be some future friend, but then again it could be trouble."It happened while playing rough in class" isn't exactly pointing in the right direction, for now.

Is this going to be a big fan, a future promoter for our musician, or a douche who stole her music?

I think this dude is going to be upset that people moved on from her video so fast

Betting this dude is our drummer. Hue hue

lmao I need him in the Mitsuki-fanboy-who-also-likes-music-that-kicks-Aya's-protective(love)-instincts-into-overdrive to we-just-found-boyfriend-for-Narita pipeline

The title “Catalyst” feels so ominous… I’m scared

'Catalyst' means something that makes reactions happen faster, without being affected itself. Doesn't sound ominous to me, just promises that something will advance. Mitsuki's music career, or their relationship, or something.

Bro literally fell ass-backwards into the plot

AAAAAAARRRGHH WHAT AN ANXIETY INDUCING CHAPTER NOOOoo no way I gotta make it to next Sunday…

Welp, so much for my argument for why he's a good guy, actually.

It's been a great while since a manga page has irritated me quite this much. Not because of the author or her artwork, but for the portrayal of those kids toward Mitsuki. It was accurate how kids in general and teens in particular can be true $hitheads to each other, for no good reason. Being reminded so jarringly how humans behave hurts me a little. I look forward to how the author gets Mitsuki though this impasse, and back to the girls enjoying each other's company with music.

nvm what I said before, im about to get into a fist fight

Sigh...
