That aside, if they’re not a popular group, why would they rent out such a huge stage? Sounds like bad spending to me pal

I think it's a music program, like Music Bank, which is popular in Korea and in China. These shows are organized by broadcasting companies that invite idol groups to perform on their stages. Typically, the performances are unpaid depending on the popularity of the group and are considered an opportunity for publicity. However, I'm not entirely sure, this is just what it seems like. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

So the idols aren’t getting paid? Does the idol group have to pay to perform? Is the incentive for the idols to perform exposure or smthn?

The revenue distribution depends on the group's level of popularity, as seen in this chapter, and how long they have been active. Let me explain how it works from a business perspective ( bear with me if its too long :D) -
Groups are usually invited to perform at these stages, which are also broadcast on streaming platforms. Revenue is generated from both the number of views online and ticket sales from people attending the performances in person. After the performances, the total revenue is calculated. From this, the broadcasting company takes their share, followed by the company managing the idols. The remaining amount is then divided among the group members. However, by the time all expenses are deducted, there is often very little left for the idols themselves. For more popular groups, larger audiences, both online and offline, means higher revenue and, consequently, a bigger share for the members.
For rookie groups (typically within their first 1-3 years), the main incentive is exposure rather than immediate financial gain. Hope this help :)

It does! Thanks for explaining it :D

Idk why people are getting butt hurt on Ami being called a bitch when she has been a bitch to Rei since chapter 1

Ppl overthink too much. Too many assumptions when it’s very obvious ppl are only calling Ami a bitch cuz she’s an asshole to MC.

Two more chapters… I wonder if Ami will genuinely fall for the other girl?

Or will it just end with the girl desperately trying to win Ami over, hence “The Desperate March Of Love”

They’re both desperate for the affections of others (the glasses girl with Ami, and Ami with her mom)

pretty serious in here huh.

Sorry lol. Seeing them go at each other only to STILL be together is hella annoying. It feels like the story hasn’t progressed at all

And I’m too invested to just drop… also the art is 10/10

yea uh--i think nanase shouldve cut this off a while ago since she doesn't understand how to properly have a girlfriend (partner + responsibility balance, and communication issues), and frankly, i dont even think she would object to the notion of wanting to break up if yuni proposed it; i think shes uninvolved and down on herself enough to accept it as for the best.

and yuni shouldve cut this off a while ago herself since she understands nanase cant give her what she wants + shes found someone else whos responding in the way she desires, and since shes cheating with that person, i mean..she should just break up and go with the more suitable partner. and naturally, she has communication issues as well.

Agreed, they’re not compatible at all

theyre in high school, and i think (?) these are their first relationships; the issues i mentioned are also a consequence of this.

How naive are high schoolers tho? It’s not like they’re in middle school and completely clueless. I’d think at least one of them would rethink their relationship or smthn. Idk. I can’t see why either of em would stay together when they both have someone they seem to enjoy spending time with more

My point stands; NOTHING has changed since the beginning

I disagree, the situation hasn't changed much, but the characters did. Yuni is now more proactive insted of bottling up her feelings, Nanase is at least aware that she's been emotionally unavailable, and Fuuko has.......... Uhm...... She's awakened to mommy kink!

The fact that the situation hasn’t changed is why I’m so salty.

A lot has happened— their mindsets have shifted, they’ve developed more as characters— but we have yet to see it really go anywhere

Either Yuni and Nanase need to break up or Nanase needs to become a full on cuck and enjoy being cheated on

Yuni is JUST as bland, she’s JUST as inactive as Nanase,

but Yuni's cuter

Yeah, I agree, I straight up hate Nanase’s haircut.

Like, do something? Stop being a side piece, confront Nanase and come clean, tell her that y’all fucked.

Fuuko did exactly that.

...did some people criticizing the series miss the infill chapters?

I also mentioned that Yuni chose Nanase over her after the fact

And I when I said that that, I meant that I wanted her to double down again, do something that’ll actually leave a lasting impact. Present day, she’s STILL a side piece.

My point stands; NOTHING has changed since the beginning

Yuni is still cheating and doesn’t communicate properly
Nanase is pathetic and can’t communicate properly
Fuuko is a side piece who hasn’t done anything to make a serious change— cut Yuni out or actively cuck Nanase until she dumps Yuni

Yuki just exists on the side, and is literally the only normal person in this whole story.

A lot has happened but it hasn’t gone anywhere. There’s no big turning point in the story (maybe it’ll come up in the next chapter idk), it’s just running in circles

Nanase imo is the weakest character in the manga. She seems to exist just to give Yuni a reason to cheat.

She’s the weakest but they’re all weak. Just poor writing all around

She's the only character that's shown no reason for loving someone else. She's the only character that never takes any action.

She HAS taken action, with her friend, Yuki and then she DID show interest in wanting to spend more time with Yuni + wanting to have matching accessories

Yuki has done more for her relationship in regard to the cheating than Nanase herself. She just comes across as such a bland character.

Eh, I’ll have to disagree on that one. Having a character struggle to balance their relationship with their responsibilities would be interesting to see them overcome, it’s just poorly executed here because the whole point of Nanase’s character is to be lame

If you think Nanase is bland, then you must think that Yuni is JUST as bland, she’s JUST as inactive as Nanase, except Yuni whines to everyone BUT her lover and the only communication that happens comes in the form of ranting, shouting, and not even listening to her Gf, so it can’t even be considered proper communication. They both run away from real confrontation.

You can't feel bad for her because you never feel like she ever tries to really be with Yuni.

I’d say you can’t feel bad for anyone in this manga (except Yuki)

No one tries to put their foot down, no one is genuine. There is no real attempt at making a serious change.

Yuni can’t stop cheating and she can’t communicate with the person who’s supposed to be her GF about her issues

Nanase for the longest time didn’t even think about communicating her feelings, and now that’s being considered, she decides against it for whatever reason??

Fuuko hasn’t really done anything other than be a side piece, and when she DID take action, Yuni chose Nanase over her. Like, do something? Stop being a side piece, confront Nanase and come clean, tell her that y’all fucked.

This chapter is the perfect example. Instead of talking to Yuni she runs away and decides to hang out with someone else.

Which is EXACTLY what Yuni has done— instead of talking with Nanase, she goes and cheat on her.

She's the dumb lover in an ntr story

Agreed

that's so pathetic you can't feel bad that their lover is cheating.

Can’t agree on that. Every character in this situation is pathetic, we haven’t even seen why they’re even together, have we? How’d they get together? These characters lack any chemistry, why are they even dating to begin with?

Maybe if the author show3d Nanase being more proactive i would've cared a bit more.

Too bad the author won’t because Nanase is written in such a way that her being a lame is a way to excuse Yuni’s cheating

I wouldn’t even be so pressed if the story actually went somewhere.

We went from

Yuni cheating in secret -> Yuni not communicating properly -> Yuni exposed for cheating ->
Yuni picking Nanase over Fuuko -> Yuni cheating in secret

So back to square one. Nothing changed except it’s even MORE apparent that they aren’t compatible and shouldn’t be dating. Nanase shouldn’t have even been in a relationship in the first place.

“emotionally cheating”

How?

Nanase was initially distant, cuz she didn’t wanna be open about their relationship and she prioritized her club over their relationship (which Yuni literally never said anything about)

Yuni cheated on Nanase to make it to her game… when she could’ve just communicated from the start, “hey I can’t make it to your game”

Nanase being more chill with Yuki makes sense. They’re childhood friends, they’ve known each other for wayyy longer, and unlike Yuni, Yuki isn’t a jerk who blows up at people without properly communicating nor gets jealous while actively cheating on an unsuspecting person

Nanase’s only fault is being inexperienced with dating (not setting proper boundaries, not knowing what she wants, not being able to balance a relationship with club stuff)

Yuni cheated first, then cheated again and is getting mad at Nanase for…. Being close with her childhood friend?? Like, Nanase literally HAS been showing interest, wanting to match and stuff— Yuni has given up on ‘them’ and I’m sure Nanase has too given how she clearly hasn’t enjoyed being with Yuni for a while. They are very clearly, not compatible, there’s also no trust left, I seriously can not comprehend why Nanase would stay with Yuni… like does she even love her anymore?? Was she ever even in love to begin with?

If Yuki stays single, that’ll be the biggest W ever

I actually read back and it seems from this point
https://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/the_guy_she_was_interested_in_wasnt_a_guy_at_all_ch100#3
Is when things got rocky between them. I’m pretty sure the core issue is that Aya was avoiding Koga so ig she either assumed the kouhai was asking Koga to go to the prom with her and thus, gave up on her feelings? Or at least, trying to pursue anything with Koga

https://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/the_guy_she_was_interested_in_wasnt_a_guy_at_all_ch102#3

This imo supports the idea that Aya was avoiding Koga imo

They “made up” because Aya decided to just move on from her jealousy, insecurity, or whatever she was feeling, and meet at the CD shop. They weren’t even at odds, it was Aya who had an issue but she never talked about it

https://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/the_guy_she_was_interested_in_wasnt_a_guy_at_all_ch104#3

So, this’ll either become a habit between the two of them;

One of them isn’t feeling good > they stop talking, leaving the other feeling hurt and confused > they start talking again like nothing happened

Or, I’m thinking that if Aya gets upset in the same way again; “blows up” at Koga before avoiding her, only to start talking like nothing ever happened a while later, Koga might just get annoyed and either press Aya for answers or just ignore Aya, OR she’ll just get used to the lack of communication and nothing really bad will actually come from it

Either way, the lack of proper communication— especially when its in a situation where one of them is upset and it’s not directly the other’s fault— makes me worry about whatever future they could have together
