"I want to ask Mitsuki about the feelings she's carrying alone right now.
But truth be told,
Now's not the time for that."

Yes god forbid you two do something like I don't know actually communicate. Would still like to know how much time it's actually been since Mitsuki decided to just say fuck it and leave the band.

Says it’s worse then proceeds to have sesbian lex ;)

The pacing confuses me but yay for pollen lex.

It's frustrating because I want to like this chapter, the sexual intimacy is nice to see, but I wish it came after the much needed communication. The art continues to be gorgeous and I hope the pacing improves in the next couple or so chapters.

Holy macaroni! Green gex!

This chapter makes sense to me. Strong emotions (Good or bad, it doesn't matter) can have a stimulating effect on many people, even when those emotions have NOTHING to do with that situation or that person. Best way I know to explain it is how in many areas with lots of violence (cities close to war zones for example) there are a LOT of brothels to be had. Morality doesn't figure into it. It's just that people who are/have been engaged in violence often times can't help but act out from arousal. Spouses of police have detailed it many times how when after a bad day when that officer had to go all out in the line of duty they go home and are extremely energetic to their spouses, almost like a relief valve. While I don't put pollen reactions and band breakup on the same level as police emergencies, extreme frustration and confusion could trigger those same effects, given the right circumstances.

^ There's also the matter of Mitsuki probably not being ready to open up to Aya about her inner turmoil yet and using sex as a distraction, whether she's aware of it or not.

oh! nah but seriously having sex as a distraction from actually talking abt it is lowkirkenuinely dodgy

sometimes i wonder what would happen if arai sumiko could go beyond 4 pages a chapter. also i'd have to agree, the pacing in the adult arc is a lot more rushed/read between the lines than school arc. i guess it makes sense in a way, because so much of their relationship development happened in school, but i'd love to know more about the adult mitsuaya as well. i think this is what makes these chapters feel a bit strange even if it's technically an okay way to present this situation. it's not so much "we need to see what happened between mitsuki/the band" but rather i wish we knew about adult mitsuki at all. anyone #relate?

This looks good but feelings wrong. T-T
How to avoid communication 101.

Daymm despite of us having this blessing seeing them making out with more skin showing, I can't totally be happy with the elephant in the room still being ignored.It makes me sad that their first gay segggss chapter on screen is with a touch of an unsaid drama fever. Welp I hope they will be able to communicate on their pillow talk time after the seggss session.

Seriously, this Yuri manga never fails to amaze me with the art angel of each panels.

I mean, we could have talked about trust issues in our relationship... ooooor we could just have hot sesbian lex, which is just as good! /s

The world is not ready for so much green yuri yet. We have to wait and train.

Cool chapter. Her worry is building. I love the questions she's beginning to ask herself, while she continues to try finding a good moment and words to broach the topic. Life does go on though; it's not like they'll stop kissing and having sex in the meantime. I think contrasting the physical intimacy she's receiving with the emotional intimacy she's craving, implying she's somewhat unsatisfied, is a good touch. The mystery of how badly Mitsuki has been affected continues. Interesting stuff to cover in such short spaces. Really want to see how Sumiko plays everything out.

Oh I didn't read it like that. I read it more that she didn't really have the words to say at the moment in her head, which came off like coming onto her gf. Which naturally she reciprocates lol

Yessssss, If they are going to “skip” conflict for some chapters to show us sex, I approve. Need to be done more often.

Not that it's likely to happen but there might be the possibility that the post-coital clarity and stress-relief lead to a pillow talk heart-to-heart about what's been bothering Mitsuki~

Bit of both, I think. She's trying to find the time and the language but the moments don't seem clean. To start the chapter, she says she wants to ask but thinks the timing isn't right. Then later begins to probe, maybe unintentionally, but that isn't clean either. She's just poking around for when it feels right and life goes on in the meantime. She's gets all of her physically but that's not what she's really asking for. It's interesting stuff. The sex (or lead up to it) gets to be used narratively to help establish the chapter's point rather than just being there for fan service. The art is great though and I know Sumiko has fun drawing it.

Third base incoming, aaah!

Yeah, this doesn't feel particularly sexy for me. Some couples can feel sexy while avoiding talking, but with Aya and Mitsuki it just makes me sad. Though it does feel very in character. They both have avoidant personalities.

why are they so skinny please someone feed them
