If the conservative religious creeps see this series, they'll think cool old rock music turns kids gay and ban it.

They already thought about It in 60's

Since the genre took off there have been tons of campaigns by the religious nut cases to call the music devilish and corrupting. Dee Snider had to actually go before congress and tell them his music wasn't trying to cause an insurrection...which is hella ironic now.

are we supposed to feel sorry for her? Because if anything, this chapter just made me roll my eyes.

.

How to make an unlikable character more likable ? Just give them a tragic story, add a dead loved one in the mix and a promise and boom.

Do we then have to wait some time for that formula to work? Because apparently the effect is not always immediate.

Glad to see that I'm not the only here who doesn't feel a shred of empathy towards these side characters.

This chasing-after-dead-person-dream reveal is just dumb and forced. Now I don't just hate Shiho, I hate the whole fucking band and this dead character whose name I already forgot, because they're fucking dumb and unnecessary.

We could have had a wholesome story about love between two girls. Instead we get this shit.

Jesus, I forgot how stupidly angry this manga makes some of you guys. Like okay you don't like it, I get it, but somehow your dislike has turned into a seething rage you for some idiotic reason feel compelled to inflict on everyone else.

Obviously this type of layered complicated story telling is too high level for you, you should maybe try something a bit more simple and on your level...like Bluey.

You're kidding, right? There's nothing "layered" or "complicated" about it. This backstory doesn't even explain why Shiho's a bitch. She was like that before Kyou died, and keeps being so even after her death. No character development whatsoever. That's not layered or whatnot. That's just lazy writing.

All there is to Shiho is that she's obsessed with being number one, and every time she can't, she runs away. She ran away from Kyou because she couldn't beat her at music, and ran away from Aki because she couldn't be her number one in love. That's all there is to Shiho. She's a one-note character. That's why people don't like any of this. It's a pointless storyline about a pointless one-note character. And there's no character development and no progression and nothing.

This backstory did explain why the other members of the band put up with Shiho's bullshit, but that's about it. The problem has always been Shiho herself, and this backstory doesn't change anything about her.

Wow, you really did not understand a single thing about the chapter huh? This isn't about how Shiho is changing, it's about how she has changed. Everything from Kyou to quiting Aki's band happened "gasp" in the past. The story and Shiho we see now is a person still with insecurities and angst but because of her past making an effort not to quit and the fact she is competing at all when before any adversity was met with running away shows how much she has changed. There was so much character development in one chapter it's quite amazing, and really sad you are so stuck on "She bitch me hate" to not see it.

She had it up until they headed to the outlet, which means it could be anywhere.

This date now needs a tragedy tag.

Ooh, now this is interesting. There is a strong case for Kasumi being asexual, but aromantic might be a whole other thing and certainly being with Sakurako as much as she is probably fulfills any desire she would have for a partner so she has never had to think about it. Will this move to them at least redefining their relationship, I doubt it, but it would be interesting to see how Kasumi thinks about their current quasi-romantic relationship.

They're finally bringing this up, and it's in a special chapter rather than an actual numbered canonical chapter????

To be fair it is usually the special chapters for this series that contain the drama and introspection with the main series usually just being fluff 4-koma SoL.

You know, something tells me Tokiko wasn't nearly as okay about Natsuki's death as she said.

It's almost like Final Destination at this point. The deaths don't make you feel anything.

Hayama has been acting in the exact same cartoonishly ridiculous way since Ch1, not sure how people are just now finding a problem with it after reading 18 chapters of the same schtick again and again lol

I would say it's the juxtaposition of this genuinely cute moment followed by a cartoony stalker moment. Most of the time Mizushima is hardly a character who doesn't notice Kimura which can make Hayama look better as she not only fully notices Kimura but also in her own way helps Kimura from being depressed about Mizushima lack of attention, but here he not only notices but has a pleasant conversation with her and reveals he did at least notice her a bit even if he got the wrong impression, which then gets followed up with Hayama just acting like a jealous stalker.
