I hope we can just keep getting this: being sweeties with each other.

I love Kanna being so nosy about their flirting.

English interview with ANN

At the very bottom it says:
"Disclosure: Kadokawa World Entertainment (KWE), a wholly owned subsidiary of Kadokawa Corporation, is the majority owner of Anime News Network, LLC. Yen Press, BookWalker Global, and J-Novel Club are subsidiaries of KWE."

I knew some of this but not all of this. A little empire they got going there.

She’s watched The Wilds, Euphoria, Arcane, Bottoms, Shiva Baby, Glee… all the traumas then.

It looks like trying to "study" with Mitsuki is really bad for Aya's productivity...

It's really cute how casually their friendship shifted into being romantic. Like, their relationship hasn't actually changed, they already acted like a couple, the only difference is they kiss sometimes now. Its just really cute and it makes me smile.

I think Aya is studying so she can go to a school in America so she can be with Mitsuki… I think I may be wrong but I remember that being a thing….?

^ Kanna originally wanted to bring Mitsuki with her to the US though she seems to have relented after she saw the relationship Mitsuki had with Aya. It's always possible it will be brought back later, especially if Mitsuki ends up getting a music contract.

I don't think that was explicit. Could be another reason Aya has thrown herself at English.

It was in the previous chapter--Aya wants to learn English because it will open up the world of Western music to her, and also (real reason) she wants to fully understand Mitsuki's lyrics.

Right, that was explicit. Wanting to be able to follow Aya to the US wasn't, though it's plausible.

Ah, right. My impression is that the Mitsuki-to-US plan is, at best, on hold. Joe's promise to follow Kanna poses the questions for the future of: when, how, and what about Mitsuki?

I've only ever seen the "going to America" trope in manga used as a way of temporarily removing characters from the plot--it's a little hard for me to imagine a manga endgame of "all the main characters transplant to the West and live happily ever after," although I'm sure it must have happened sometime, given how many manga there are.

Last page seems (at lest to me) to be foreshadowing some momentary upcoming drama ... maybe? ... perhaps?

Could it go down the time of; Aya gets tired and worn out studying but keeps telling herself everything is okay. Mitsuke notices Aya becoming more withdrawn (because Aya's so tired) and thinks it something she's done. Neither talk about it and things spiral downwards?

I think she just wants to understand lyrics of songs she listens to. People keep bringing up Mitsuki going to USA, but I personally feel that particular plot point was shot down almost on arrival.

In manga itself, the only person who brought up that idea was Kanna, in a half-joking way, to tease Joe. She did not bring this up again ever again, so even if we consider she was serious about it, she seems to have given up on the idea.

Mitsuki herself was never exposed to the idea of going to USA, she haven't ever bring up any desire to go, nor anybody else toted that idea to her. And, honestly, as much as I can read her personality, I don't think she is a type of person to leave everything she knows in pursuit of some ambitious musical career.

The only reamining plot point that I can see that would lead Mistuki to leave country is to follow her uncle, and I honestly think it would go against their character arc we were shown. Joe wants to pursuit his own happiness, Mitsuki wants it to without keeping him from pursuit it, if she was to follow him, I feel that it would be against these themes.

And why does she need to leave if she wanted to pursue musical career? We already have someone from industry introduced in the person of Hime's father, I find it more likely this is where Mitsuki's way will lead her if she is to go into show biz.
Hell, why does she need to go the musical industry road? The comic is taking place in the modern times, with social media and the internet in full swing, so she can pretty much become a famous singer from anywhere in the world. Hell, she already went viral, why not pursue this path of indie artist?

Not even mentioning that American Dream is dead and there is no more chance to get successful for anyone in USA than anywhere else in the world, Or that modern times USA is not really that safe to travel for foreigners.

Glad they skipped the “oh we kissed but are we ATUALLY dating? Did I just misread the situation?” dilemma that a lot of Yuri manga goes through they both want eachother and know it lol
