Now kiss

D'aww, that affirmation that her feelings won't change. ♥

Aya, girl, like

the nails were gonna be gone sooner or later

Haha, nailed it!

unnailed it

As usual, Mitsuki finds just the right words to say. Hearing that must have meant the world to Aya right there ^_^

It's OK, I'm sure you'll find the shorter nails much more useful. ;)

My gosh this chapter was just the cutest!!!

NOW CUDDLE!!!

"You're just pure rock and roll", she says

Let's see... some Spanish language one...

Rock and Roll
Amaral
Gato negro, Dragón rojo (2008)

Partial English TL:

We were only fifteen years old
and there I knew what it would be
two marked hearts
for the rest of the days
I have no cure anymore
I know I can't help it
Rock & Roll to be free
like the wind
I keep searching for the truth
when the silence breaks
whenever I go out to play
those memories come to me

...know what? It checks out. They ARE rock and roll.

re-nailed it

I came to make a joke, but I see that others have that territory all nailed down. ╮⁠(⁠＾⁠▽⁠＾⁠)⁠╭

Are false nails not a thing in Japan? Or is it that Aya is too stressed out to think about them at the moment?

There are some nail salon in Japan, but it's not that common and long fake nail don't seem to be as fashionable as it is in the west. I actually don't like long nail, especially when they are fake, so it's something I tend to notice and I don't see that often girls with long fake nails in Japan. When I do, mostly, it seems to be university students.

So my guess is that it's not a reflex for her, if she never did it before.

That makes sense, and I figure for people that grow out their nails it's a bit like growing your hair and cutting it, it can be scary to adjust to the physical change. That and growing out things like that can be heavily tied to personal image. Plus there's a sense of pride that people can have with physical aspects like that.

Thanks for the reply, it's interesting to hear.

So, when will they call each other by their first names?

Whoah, hold on now. Not before marriage!

That's more a tackle than a hug.

tackling someone after a nerve wrecking experience (in this case, your girl's exam) is very real

what a cute way to show how she stopped biting her nails, stopped being so stressed and how rocker she is

Perform a celebratory German suplex on your GF, a classic move.

Lol it's in their genes to be overthinkers. Aya is a badass, always has been.

I know she just aimed low for the hug but it straight looks like she went full linebacker and full-on tackled her

Are we allowed to talk about genes/jeans anymore? Ha!

That's more a tackle than a hug.

That's a scoop. She has been scooped.

She's panicking way more than Aya herself... :D
