i mean, the chapter is called Hijacker.

Right? Sumiko has done a fantastic job of depicting the MCs as having very different styles but giving them looks that don’t actually clash.

Aya’s choker, and that plunging backline are just—wow. And in black.

This chapter got me reminiscing about Arcane

OMG CAR SEAT HEADREST IN CHAPTER 113!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"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)

PLEASE PLEASEPLEASEPLEASE I NEED THIS
IT'S FINALLY COMING TOGETHER
I am so excited, this chapter is like a christmas gift

Somebody should convince Arai-sensei to move to Bluesky lol

It would probably be a hard sell for her to abandon Xitter completely but she should definitely have an account on Bluesky in addition to her other socials.

Her backup is Instagram. She spent time this year backfilling so everything is on there. She also posts doodles to ig stories that expire so it’s good to follow if just for that.

She made an alt account there where she draws space yuri on the side.

New Year picture from Arai Sumiko's Twitter.

I hope this is just Mountain Dew, young ladies.

how do we add these pictures here https://dynasty-scans.com/series/the_guy_she_was_interested_in_wasnt_a_guy_at_all/images ?

According to her twitter, Sumiko Arai is currently drawing the exclusive booklets for the various shops Volume 3 is going to be sold at.

Maybe next week.

Meanwhile, enjoy the "OST" of the series' booklet that came out a while ago and that I just found the time to translate. I had forgotten it a bit too

Very nice read.

"comic soundtrack" is such a weird concept

"comic soundtrack" is such a weird concept

Certainly would be for a lot of manga, but it does make sense for one like this one that specifically mentions and uses a lot of music.

Reminds me of the scanlators adding the music used in the chapter to most of their downloads for Sayonara Piano Sonata. I wonder whether Dynasty still has those included here as well...

Or Webtoons having music play in the background of important chapters, etc

this is too much dude

That's pretty cool

Whoah, Arai mentions Clueless!

So, is there an actual CD with licensed music? Or just a liner of song titles for you to seek out on your own?

Wow, thank you for this special chapter! It's so cool to see the author's interview! :D

It's an official soundtrack for the manga you can get on vinyl or cd. Released in Japan, but also found imported in the US at Kinokuniya bookstores. Both versions come with the same booklet content. Considering they had to get license for each of them not a bad selection.

There is also an official streaming playlist that has more songs. https://umj.lnk.to/TheGuySheWasMP

This appears to be the drama CD (english subbed) that's on Youtube for anyone who's interested. But please support the author and performers by buying the real product. Please.

Always Human had great background music, true. But it feels weird for stuff like manga or books.

Some of the choices are odd. Dani California instead of Otherside. Brain Stew instead of American Idiot. Et cetera.
