Once again, you don't catch colds from the rain, or being cold. Colds are caused by a virus.

And if you're bedridden with a fever, it ain't a cold. I know Japanese use the same word for cold and flu, so translators should be aware and use the word flu if they mean flu.

Um, yeah. Geez, next thing you’ll tell me is that when you sneeze it’s not because people are talking about you somewhere.

Yeah, I was going to delete my comment but you commented to my comment before I could.

It's funny how people just seem to forget superstition that others have learned through childhood thanks to parenting. I don't get immediately sick because I caught rain, nobody does, but my mom sure as hell would yell at me if I got rained on and didn't immediately warm up with a hot shower.

On the chapter: It is so sweet! I feel like I like the story more with the time skip, not because the time skip is better, but because the story didn't goddamn end with a simple kiss on the lips and affirmation that "Hey they're dating now." Feels very "How do we Relationship" which I like.

Don't say that or you'll make the blue-doomers shudder with anxiety spikes or a confused anticipation. But otherwise, I see what you mean. Don't fully agree, but the idea is interesting and one I hadn't thought of before your comment.

(There's a Dutch/German/other? saying "you're not made of sugar", about bicycling in the rain. "Wear good clothing[1], but if you get wet, eh, you're not made of sugar.")

In reality, Japanese seem to have the same practices. In fiction, well... achoo

[1] or bike while holding an umbrella, something I absolutely cannot do

When I was younger if my hair got wet it would frizz so badly I hated going out in it. When it was raining my dad used to say one of two things it was either "Stop being a baby you're not made of sugar" Or the more vulgar "What's the problem not like you're gonna drown shit floats" I got my very crude humor from him thinking about stuff like this makes me miss him very much.

Very cute chapter I'm glad were establishing how much these two love each other and I feel Mitsuki saying "My Body is far more honest than my mind" correlates partly back to the whole thing were all worried about with the whole not playing music anymore yeah? Maybe that's just me.

Adorable. ^_^

Finally some mitsuaya for the soul

Another great chapter. Really love the way Aya looked on that last page. Good mix of smug, confidence and "the audacity of this bitch," but in a loving way. A lot of personality in a "frame." They're both so sweet.

Perfect description. Her eyes shone green and she was in her full power. What a baddie

If Aya got that reaction from a Fiona Apple CD, imagine if she had bought her a Kiss album like, say, 'Destroyer' or 'Love Gun'.

When I opened this chapter I thought it suddenly went NSFW for a second.

But it was not just me... R-right?

I’m very disappointed in this manga… I thought that green yuri would become blue yuri in the chapter called Feeling Blue and I forgot about red yuri too in Seeing Red. Okay, dumb jokes about common phrases aside, yeah, I agree that this is kind of unfocused right now and I wonder if some of the characters from high school will show up again like other people were wondering. I still like it a lot though, so I think and hope it’ll be more satisfying when everything comes together.

FIONA APPLE MENTION!!! WHEN A PAWN HITS THE CONFLICT, HE THINKS LIKE A KING!!1

I wish we had more side characters like Narita that aren't crushing on the MCs. IDK I'd just like to see some other relationship issues beyond potential rivals or something...this is too comfy for that kind of drama...

Time for random misunderstanding because she didn't tell Mitsuki about this concert? That lack of communication again.

sleeping with another girl: tolerable

going to another band: CHEATING

*insert Happy Endings Drama gif

sleeping with another girl: tolerable

going to another band: CHEATING

The Girl She Was Interested in Was Seeing Other Bands

What a saint!

Surely not. I hope this is Mitsuki's wake up call that just because she stopped performing, Aya isn't going to stop being interested in music and going to concerts even without her. You can't let your insecurities get in the way of life ~~

No other manga has me so consistently disoriented every chapter.

Every week, it's an endless stream of people commenting on "oh, it's disjointed", "oh, it's not that good anymore",

Some people suddenly got disinterested once the main couple got together and they sure are vocal about it.

I'd rather that than the "Mitsuki stubbed her toe. They're not perfect, which means their relationship is unhealthy. They're breaking up!" I'm really glad the series has chosen to explore internal relationship dynamics rather than relying on the usual external conflicts. That choice naturally invites some of the comments we've seen, but I appreciate that the author is highlighting the ordinary friction that comes with most relationships, while also making clear that those struggles exist alongside genuine love and a fundamentally healthy bond.

As for this chapter, I wonder if she's going to a rock concert like she tried showing to her new club mate a few chapters ago? That would be neat. Loved the energy this chapter. Next one lands on the same date of the concert ticket so that's really cool.

we needed something to replace "is it yuri?"

Some people suddenly don't like how other people are voicing that they're having trouble following the story and they sure are vocal about it.

i mean, the writing is pretty weak but the art is amazing, so that keeps people coming back for more, but then i think creates this tension with expectations vs reality (like this chapter! lol)

Why is Mitsuki upset that Aya's going to a concert? Is it cuz Mitsuki quit music and it hurts or smthn or just upset that she didn't tell her cuz the whole "you thought you knew everything about them" line?

Disinterest is not showing up at all anymore. The problem to me seems like people are tired of the drama and conflict and expected/wanted more fluff between the girls.

Complaints about the series being disjointed only/usually come up when the drama starts/tensions rise (and like in this case, it goes from a sweet moment in prev chapter where mitsuki is thinking her body got a cold so Aya can spoil her, then small timeskip into this chapter, mitsuki is better and finds out about smthn that makes her question how much she really knows about Aya

Personally, I'm bummed out cuz all of the conflict can be resolved/be less serious if they just communicate.

If they were able to talk here none of this would've happened.

And I personally get so frustrated when conflicts happen because one party isn't willing to be honest and keeps their feelings to themselves. I just can't relate to not wanting to talk bout something and then getting upset about not hearing about smthn that's semi related to the thing I don't want to talk about, and from its framing it seems like Mitsuki might take it hard

(Also I don't it when the other party is about to ask what's going and then gets interrupted, but I'm more willing to let that slide cuz it's easier to not/forget to talk about something, esp when the other person isn't willing to open up first. I'm guilty of pushing stuff off too)

I'm too invested in the relationship between the two that whenever conflict happens/starts in just like "ughhh here we go" I don't WANT to see them break up but my gut is telling me that at some point they will (I'm having this feeling of dread rn) so every time smthn like this happens I'm just worried

I think the issue is the series go from having arcs(?) like, ch 151-154 happen one after the other, its very clearly building off of each other then ch 155-156 is a diff character's perspective and a break from Aya and Mitsuki, which we return to at 157 but a diff character's perspective so we don't see their internal thoughts about the conflict from ch 153 Silence, 158 is a reminder that the conflict is still happening, ch 159-160 is another perspective shift that focus on a diff character then 161 goes back to Aya and Mitsuki and continues from where 160 left off, an 162 starts some time after that

I'm really bad at explaining but it's like... every chapter time passes; whenever we shift perspectives, we don't go back in time to focus more on what happened between Aya and Mitsuki. And some chapters take place after a mini timeskip so ppl may be lost from that too? Usually when conflict starts in a story, every chapter after the start is working to resolve that conflict, but in this story, the conflict goes into the background and life goes on without the conflict being resolved, and every so often we get reminders of the conflict, so that might also be why ppl are complaining too?
