Hinoka saw the panic strike and took control from there. But yes, she might overload and either break down in tears from the weight being lifted, pass out, or one and then the other.

This is the most worthless story... nothing's happened this entire time and I have no reason to think the finale will change that. What a nothingburger of a manga.

It's probably the closest we'll get to these two dumb-dumbs actually holding each other unless Mitsuki gets a clue and turns the suave to 11, which I'm pretty sure she's incapable of doing manually.

I'll take it, though! Aya just looks so happy! But she's saying she doesn't want to keep Mitsuki's song all to herself. She wants to share it with the world. Which probably means waiting for Mitsuki if she travels abroad. This is her answer.

slams hands on desk Get me pictures of Spider-Man! ...I mean, get me this but as a long series of the niece constantly making her auntie blush!

...This is yucky.

God as my witness, until this very moment, I thought Mari and Yuu were just Ai and Chie. Shorter long-haired blond girl with taller short-haired tanned(?) skin girl. It's why I thought for so long that they'd come so far since their earlier appearances, which just felt icky. But no! Ai and Chie have always been good. It's the other two that gimme the yucks. Not as bad as Kaoru, but Kaoru's a toxic pile of sludge that isn't good for anyone to be around.

Sometimes I wonder if the meaning gets diluted slightly due to how the different languages get formatted. In Japanese she asks Aya if she'll listen (the sentence ends in a question) and then the center bubble just says "watashi no rock" which made me feel like Mitsuki was calling Aya her rock. I refuse to believe it isn't a double meaning statement, honestly. Aya's kinda been her foundation for breaking out of her shell to a degree, after all.

Yeah, shit was a misery simulator and the only good characters are left screwed up or dead for their efforts. I dunno how anyone can like this garbage. It was trash at the start and it's trash at the end.

THERE'S GONNA BE A DRAMA CD.

Koga will be Mariya Ise - https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/people.php?id=46112
Aya will be Akari Kitou - https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/people.php?id=130728

Can the author stop trying to redeem that unlikable slagheap of a person, because it isn't going to work. I'll never stop hoping Kaoru walks out in front of a speeding bus.

Make your nickname "Oneesama" and the fireworks scene becomes EXTRA.

(cups hands to mouth) KISS OR END, I DON'T CARE WHICH!

Gotta look out for your disaster-girlfriend when she's out of it.

Freezing cold take: Both these dudes suck and Kazuha should flip 'em both off and run off with secretary lady.

Mitsuki literally hit out of her clothes by a metaphorical guitar to the face.

Panel 2 Biscuit cuuuuute

I do like that Seocchi is essentially going "yeah I fucking tried you know, and turns out being a goody two shoes doesn't matter if Prez still wants me dead. So I'll show him, hell I'll show everyone just how evil I can be"

It makes her heel turn fun, and like yeah, if you try you damnedest and then the idiot arbiter decides you have to die anyway. Then redemption isn't going to save you so you might as well send everyone to hell with you.

"If I can't fight fate, I may as well spit in its face as I go down."

Sometimes all the good intentions in the world can't stop that world from using you as its punch line. May as well give in and let the ride take you where it will at that point. Prez is still a creepy scumbag, and he's actually still more a villain in this than Seo is as far as I'm concerned. I sympathize a lot more with her than I do him, certainly. Dunno if that's gonna be an unpopular opinion or not. I have a feeling it's mostly determined by how much each reader personally relates to her mentality here.

What the fuck would a 'yaoi gore drama' even be?

Props to the translators who know it's "Psych" and not "Sike," which is not a word in the first place. The pedant in me is pleased.

So... the author's gotten a collab with the 30th anniversary release of Nirvana's In Utero. Looks like a promotional sticker from a pop-up shop? Twitter translate isn't the best.

Sumiko-sensei's pretty hype, in any case!

Why do we not have a 'tiptoe kiss' tag?

And the timer is active! No matter how Mitsuki meant what she said, Aya's going to interpret it either as her doing something wrong or feeling like Mitsuki's made up her mind to go to America. This might be the inciting incident needed to get her to confess how she feels. Perhaps after a few more misunderstandings and a growing desperation making her say it out of a final panic to get her to stay, even if she never planned to go anywhere...

A literal case of 'fuck around and find out.'

Don't throw rocks at the hornet's nest if you can't outrun the hornets, Miorine.

It must be hard being a wingman for a dumb-dumb, haha. Good thing Narita is patient and just trying to gently direct her in along the right path.

Aya, you have a very good way to keep Mitsuki around y'know. You just need to be honest with yourself!
