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.

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

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.
