Mitsuki hijacked the prom music. And the guy's attempt to seduce Aya, lol.

Nice, using "music" literally and metaphorically, while having Koga step in and change the tune. That's good stuff. No, don't conform to the "popular music!" Remember your rocker GF, she's slow and mysterious but she's finally here.

Um, squee?

OK, yes, upon reflection, I’m going with “squee!”

Oh yeah, it's going down now. :-)

And @Nya-chan, I read New Unwanted Guy as less trying to “seduce” Aya than nervously bumbling his way into an attempt to chat her up. (He’s also not wrong about how cute that dress is, either.)

And Aya is profoundly not wrong about how proms can be a lot less fun than they look.

Ono, my dude, you stand no chance

...odys. Oh, Bodys Car Seat Headrest. Another song to look up the new comments on Youtube.

That's what you call an entrance. :O Now that Mitsuki finally gets it, she should be darn near unstoppable.

Finally, the moment we've all been waiting for! I thought the new guy that likes Aya would end up talking to Aya for a long time giggling and smiling which would make Mitsuki feel discouraged when she walks in. But now I know, never doubt Mitsuki's hot side! ദ്ദി(˵ •̀ ᴗ - ˵ ) ✧

"That's not what I meant to say at all
I mean I'm sick of meaning, I just wanna hold you"

"Don't you realize our bodies could fall apart any second?
I am terrified, your body could fall apart at any second
Those are you got some nice shoulders
I'd like to put my hands around them
I'd like to put my hands around them"
Lyrics form Bodys by Car Seat Headrest, they might be foreshadowing some stuff? (cope)

They cooked with this chapter

Yep

ch 113: Foiled Het Attempt

Was it really a love song? or was the bully guy just saying that? To be honest I think we should have had some sort of internal monologue about sexuality or them wondering if the feelings are romantic. Even Aya doesn't seem to have given it that much thought she was like "oh my crush is a girl, well okay" but hasn't made a move and neither has she exactly been in denial either. But at least with Aya it seems to read as though she doesn't want to ruin the friendship, as for Mitsuki... I'm not sure what she's thinking at all. I mean are teenagers in Japan already so comfortable in their sexuality that they kinda take it for granted that something is romantic without talking about it? lol not even a "do you like girls?"

So, Japanese culture is by a wide margin the most intrinsically passive aggressive culture I have ever interacted with. The typical way you say something is "bad" is to say "That's a little..." and just literally trail off without saying it. As a general rule, they do not confront issues head on. So a lot of yuri manga doesn't confront the idea of homosexuality head on. The women just love each other, and their preferences aren't usually explicitly addressed because Japan in general isn't very hot on explicitly doing anything. I don't know if this also permeates into LGBT social circles in japan, or if it's just an anime/manga thing. It could just be that it's about anime authors not wanting to alienate potential readers by being too direct about their subject matter, or it could be that many people in japan just don't voice their preferences in a direct way very often. (If anybody knows more on this I'd be interested to hear it.)

This really gives me hope for dramatic climax at the end of a year.

It was a valiant attempt, Ono, you seem like a cute, chill dude. My condolences on being run over by the MitsuAya line.

Alright. Potential confrontation coming up. Last time, the writer chickened out and skipped it. Will we have the necessary scene this time?

In case anybody wants to hear the song.

You'll have 5 chapters about her uncle and you'll like it! Then the girls will enter the shop, laughing about how good prom was.

Go save your girl from being lost and getting literally sloshed at the prom.

do you mean between Aya and Mitsuki?
when was that last time you're referring to?

(i only reread the whole thing two days ago, which reminded me of my tattoo lol… but the my potential confrontation i can think of is when they… dropped the ball (literally))

And @Nya-chan, I read New Unwanted Guy as less trying to “seduce” Aya than nervously bumbling his way into an attempt to chat her up. (He’s also not wrong about how cute that dress is, either.)

Agreed. New guy struck me as just trying to talk to a pretty girl after getting pushed into the situation by Narita.

Prom can be nice and fun if you want to be there and are into the vibe, or can be hell on earth if you're not.

God I hate how totally possible this is.

I wouldn't expect this to be the kind of manga that ends as soon as the main couple gets together, but also I could see the author wanting to wrap this up so she can start a new manga in a not twitter format, one where she can put out 30 page chapters instead of 4. I got to imagine this medium limitation is frustrating to work with sometimes.

people it is with great joy that i say unto you.

LET'S FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
