Just get married already.
Fixed this.

Someone once told me that a band's musical output remains good as long as there is personal and/or creative tension between members. By that metric, these two's music will stay phenomenal for decades.

What is it with Japanese rockers and the Red Hot Chili Peppers? If these girls are math rockers they should be listening to Polvo or Slint or something.

This really is a palette swap for Young Ladies Don't Play Fighting Games, only in that the competitive tension between the leads emerges naturally from the text of the story, and here it feels incredibly forced. There is absolutely no way for a guitarist in a duo or trio to wrest control of the flow of a song away from the drummer, who is there to act as the timekeeper and tempo regulator for the music. It kind of blows my mind that 15 years on K-ON is still somehow the manga / anime gold standard for more or less accurately depicting the intraband dynamics of a high school band, especially given how much time HTT spends doing anything but working on music.

Those screwtails are ridiculous and remind me more of Souryu's Machimaho (the magical girl parody where the a yankee is made a magical girl) than I Favor the Villainess or Marimite.

Almost like she's overcompensating

i read this with the voices from the main pair of Birdie Wing in my head. i feel like their interactions are similar too. got the airheaded 'i do this cuz i love it' one, and the 'straight-man comedic element, tomboyish' one.
