She released an official album under a band name clearly about her and Aya filled with songs written to Aya. For a manga where music is the love language they use, advancing in tandem, that seems like very significant progress for them.
and that album cover too even!!! it was just recently their fingers touched through the window like that.......when aya sees this i hope she recognizes all the little details....
I wonder if there's any irl Japanese musicians publishing on Bandcamp. Also looking at the details of this chapter, it's kind of strange with that house and that family photo that Hime goes to the same probably relatively low class public school as Mitsuki and Aya. I wonder if maybe her family had a fall from grace that she's trying to redeem or something.

A decent number. Really wish it were more; Bandcamp makes it so much easier to get things than stupid booth et al.
Any recommendations? I only tend to find Japanese artists on spotify or youtube
Esprit D'Air - Japanese band, based in UK with a French name.
Kind of symphonic metal with mainly Japanese lyrics, though did a great cover of Iron Maiden's The Trooper.

Kinda depends on what you're into. For example, I just discovered recently that carrotwine still exists! https://carrotwine.bandcamp.com/music Mr. ARA himself, just putting up a wide gamut of bangers.
https://bravewave.bandcamp.com/music Releasing old game soundtracks. (Though REALLY annoyingly they often don't have a standalone digital release for some stupid reason...)
I haven't even looked for Japanese artists specifically in most cases, and some of these I just stumbled into from YT recs or following tags, but they were easy as pie to pick up because BC is dead simple and doesn't tend to Just Stop Selling Things (like is my experience with Amazon, for example).
Chizuru has shown to be fairly direct and not mess around, so I suspect a metaphorical slap 'round the head for Aya is incoming pretty soon, along with being told to stop messing around and go get her girl, lol.
I feel certain that all will be well in the end. But . . .poor Aya.
Yeah, it would be nice to see a bit more of Mitsuki's side as well. I know she admitted to herself that Aya was her safe place, but at the same time, we don't know that much about her own feelings and considering what is happening lately, i understand that Aya feels like Mitsuki doesn't need her anymore (not that it's true, but it does feel that way).
Aya trying to talk about her crush stealthily while Chizuru friggin' shouts and points at Mitsuki (who is oblivious) is such a high school canon event, it's nice to see it portrayed -w-
Entirely by accident, yes lmao. So deep in her feelings she didn't even stop to think about how obvious she's being, staring directly at Mitsuki while exactly describing the scene in front of her while talking about her crush.
I wonder if Chiziru's gonna be like "...why the fuck did you hide this from me, did you think I'd be a homophobe??" It'd be a very zoomer thing for her to do, and I've certainly seen it happen irl. This assumption that "well obviously Aya would be out to me if she were talking about a girl" might explain why Chiziru took until now to notice, despite it being pretty goddamn blatant even before now. Like "there's no way 'onii-san' is anybody I know because surely my BFF Aya would just tell me if it was".
Chizuru finally put it together. I thought she might have already had suspicions before this, but evidently not. Now that she knows, I bet she's going to give these useless lesbians some much-needed help in figuring out how they really feel about each other! Major relationship progress is just over the horizon!
