Not a big fan of Kanna potentially changing her entire life on a somewhat lukewarm, whimsical decision to romance her at the airport.

Completely hoping for Mitsuki to get the girl and Joe to fail at it in the same night, because it'll be funny if that happens

In the first place, Mitsuki was never really interested in, or looking for, a record deal. It's just something that dropped in her lap without warning and people around her hyped up. Especially Aya, who wants to get Mitsuki's music "out there".

Exactly. She never said she wanted to go to this party in the first place. Aya just assumed and made decisions for her. That's what she's angry about. That and Aya lying about her real feelings and intentions. She's definitely going to the prom. A bouquet of roses makes no sense as a gift to a random music get together where she doesn't know anyone.

god it's really hard to care about fucking Uncle Joe's straight relationship drama in a yuri manga. I hope Kanna rejects him at the airport because they're clearly not meant for each other. I hope she turns him down and the series ends immediately.
yes i am hate-reading at this point

Same. While there's nothing wrong with Joe going to make things clear, I don't see why that should affect Kanna's decision and Mitsuki telling him to "bring her back" is... well, what you'd expect a teenager to want, but not something I hope for Kanna.

It's not like it can't have other positive effects like Kanna being actually willing to spend time with them next time she comes back, or Joe eventually changing his decisions and deciding to join her in the future. So at least I'm hoping for something like that - a good result but without implying Kanna would just let go of what she's achieved and her plans for the future.

Yeah... it's a bit hard when one person wants to move abroad and the other has responsibilities in their home country.
I think maybe Joe didn't want to uproot Mitsuki when she had just lost her parents (I think she did, right?) and move her to the US with Kanna
On the other hand I have no idea what Kanna is doing in the US. Is she a musician? What does she do? Lol a musician could realistically move between countries idk. I don't think it makes sense for her to decide to stay just because Joe went to the airport but it might be a nice gesture to see her off.
I definitely think the Joe/Kanna plot is a parallel to Mitsuki/Aya though it gets a bit tiring at times because we aren't binge reading this lol. But for sure Mitsuki is thinking she doesn't want to treat Aya the same way Joe treated Kanna, which I think in general they both have a tendency to react passively to their circumstances without thinking what the other person wants, though I can see that Aya isn't communicating properly either.

inb4 Kanna rightfully replies "too little, too late"

She mentioned she's a hair stylist. But there's really no more detail than that. Like, she could be a high end hair stylist who is really in demand, for example, otherwise I'm not sure why she needs to be a hair stylist in the US. There really doesn't seem to be an implication that she's ever done music.

Well, looks like we're going to the prom after all. She certainly wouldn't be bringing a bunch of roses to a meeting about her career, right? And good job setting Joe right as well.

While I think Kanna would be well within her rights to tell Joe off, it seems to me like she's been waiting for him to take the initiative. Meanwhile Joe seems to have been stuck in the idea that he had to let her go back then, so he's got no right to reach out now. It would be nice to see two people who clearly still have those feelings for each other work it out somehow, even if either dropping their livelihood and crossing an ocean right away would be a tad one sided.

The ideal way it would work out, in my mind, is they have their big emotional conversation at the airport and Kanna still goes on her flight, but with the two of them actively planning for their future together (whichever side of the pacific they decide to have it in). I would also accept them hashing things out and agreeing it just wouldn't work, shaking hands and parting but with actual closure this time. However it turns out, Joe is providing Mitsuki a great example of how that attitude they share can lead to very sub-optimal outcomes.

Yes! Tell him gurl!!!!

You guys know that you don't have to read, right? You can forget about it for a few months and get back to it if you feel like it.

but they keep coming back no matter what. they just love to hate read.

I hope Mitsuki follows her own advice here, lol.

Saying Kanna would have to give up her life in LA to be with Joe is a bit of stretch. As far as I remember, we don't know much about her life there, if she truly enjoys it or if she would feel like giving up something if she was to go back to Japan. It is also entirely possible that she would like to be back, but doing so, while not being able to be with Joe would be too hard for her, so she prefers to be far away.

I do agree with others though, that if Joe finally confessing or having them talk at the airport is enough for them to be together and resolve the situation is also too much of a stretch. They clearly need time and proper discussions about it, but at the same time, we shouldn't assume what Kanna truly wants out of this.

i've already done that. we can't express our feelings about the pace now? was there a rule about that?

I fucking creamed, mitsuki looks so good in that suit

Wow you guys are a little tense... lol

... I don't feel like as readers we were made to care enough about this particular drama :P I sure don't. I get that the author is potentially going for some sort of parallel with the main pair's relationship but I just don't think it works at all.

It would be pretty funny, that's why the author won't do it (but If they do, I'd have to reconsider my assesment of this author's writing abilities :P)

Having a prom wasn't enough, they had to copy the 'running to the airport' trope as well :-D

Love the green yuri.

YES!! Mitsuki said exactly what I was feeling.

This one is ticking all the cliches

I do wonder what will come off the whole Joe x Kanna thing. it seems the two of them have not really discussed their feelings and relationship at all, despite there being so much history - and Kanna might have been thinking about what it means that they have reconnected and she became part of their life again. the jokey comment about acting like Mitsuki's aunt must have really hurt her - because she did want to be exactly that. altough it is extremely unclear to me if she and Joe still have romantic feelings for each other, and whether Kanna had someone overseas (there seemed to be an older guy with her in the overseas montage, looking at her fondly). regardless if they are going to end up together or not, I just hope Joe finally clears the air with her

on the Mitsuki - Aya side I am super excited! it seems Mitsuki is going to skip the music party and head over to the prom! the bouquet HAS to be for Aya!! I really wish we knew just how aware she is of the fact that Aya still wants to date her but the way she immediately asked "didn't you want to go to the prom with me?" and how she literally wrote a love song about her it MUST mean she knows (and let's not even mention their "you only like me bc of onii-san" fight and how she became confident in showing up as her true self at school because of Aya!)
