So Kaoru just kisses a random girl she met at the station? Well, that's ... actually a bit weird, to be honest.

And "ドトン ドトン" (doton doton) is obviously the sound the train makes, so it doesn't make sense to translate it as "clamoring."

What? Here I am thinking they're already low-key dating, and then we get this? I sense another Stretch coming up.

I can attest that Mt. Buko is a bit of a bitch to climb. I didn't see any bears though... although I didn't see any deer either.

You know, Saori... Shizuku is right. Being hit all the time is kind of annoying, so could you please stop doing that? Hugs and kisses tend to have a way better Return On Investment.

Wow, what a mess. Who is calling who to help who for what? Who is speaking in the end? What is this about?

Hey, speech bubbles do have a function, you know. It doesn't help if you just throw them around willy-nilly.

On second thought, this manga should have ended with chapter 12. What a hot mess this turned out to be.

I hope for Rinne that Kanon never finds out what she said to Saki, Seeing how Kanon responded to Saki's offer it should be very clear that Kanon wouldn't be all too pleased.

Man, I can't wait until we move as far away as possible from the twin drama arc. Wake me up when this story starts being fun and light hearted again.

Some actual progress would be nice too.

Wow, that dark-haired girl has quite the supple neck...

Ah, so Neko's story continues. I especially love how the town she's in is obviously based off Onomichi. It's pretty stylized, but I can still recognize some of the locations I have visited myself. Neat!

Wow, how did this become such a snorefest? Why the heck would I be interested in that brother and his crush?

Dropped.

So yet another yuri ship tease manga ends without resolution. We sure get a lot of those.

Man, how I wish Emiri were the main character instead of that personality black hole Asa.

I don't see anything serious going on between any of the girls, so I don't know whether the "love triangle" tag makes any sense (unless sharing a drink is somehow a euphemism for sex).

That said, I mostly like this because of all the shots in and around Chichibu (and some Kawagoe). I've been there a few times while I was in Japan, so it's fun to point out all the locations I recognize

So what started out as a cute shoujo-ai ditty has now turned into some convoluted story about revolution shenanigans....

Nope, not interested. Dropped.

Tbh, the slowburn is amazing

Actually, it's more like a strategy to stretch out the story and churn out as many chapters as possible before readers finally drop the work out of sheer frustration, leading to the the publisher canceling the whole thing. Really, I have seen enough works like this meeting the exact same fate, and it's never a pretty sight.

Well, time will tell whether I'm right or not. I, for one, am getting thoroughly bored with this.

A shield? That's called a cable. Looks like the translator (or maybe even the original author) doesn't know anything about guitars.

There is progress. Both Shino and Nozomi are growing as people.

They have been doing the same song and dance for at least 80 chapters now, so I'm not really seeing it. They get closer, then talk about the dead guy, get upset and move apart again. Rinse & repeat.

I still can't believe we're almost 6 years with this manga. The art improved so much since chap 1

Yeah, but there is still zero progress.

I seriously suspect that this manga is mainly used as an excuse by the artist to draw train stations. Not that I'm complaining...
