i feel like this is a story of Iori healing: Healing as a person in society who doesn't conform, not even with nonconformers like Jun. And healing as a woman in relationships: from all men who rejected her for not wanting sex.
Healing enough to accept touch, and physical comfort from her girlfriend.
So they can have a more equal relationship.

and what they'll do afterwards.

such as Mitsuki returning to Fuji Rock to perform (for Aya).

Agreed. New guy struck me as just trying to talk to a pretty girl after getting pushed into the situation by Narita.

is that really Narita?
that feels out of character

(and also, Narita has had an earring in his left ear since his character introduction)

Alright. Potential confrontation coming up. Last time, the writer chickened out and skipped it. Will we have the necessary scene this time?

do you mean between Aya and Mitsuki?
when was that last time you're referring to?

(i only reread the whole thing two days ago, which reminded me of my tattoo lol… but the my potential confrontation i can think of is when they… dropped the ball (literally))

Ono, my dude, you stand no chance

We're all talking about Asako's hand on Nagi's thigh, but what about the other hand? I don't know if I understand.

×that seems just very normal to me
where else would you put it?

× imagine this forum was built on Software that knows about the 30 year old technology called "Unicode", then insert a shrug emoji here

honestly, the fact that Aya completely sidestepped the gay panic is one of my favourite aspects about this manga.

(i like this manga's æsthetic so much, it inspired this forty year old lady to get her first tattoo this year lol)

but now I wonder if Mitsuki has been thinking Aya could be straight (hence her getting jealous of herself…)

this has definitely been my favourite manga this year. I keep rereading it, not just because of Manatsu's ridiculously expressive emotionw, but also, because of Sumie's slow and subtle ones.

By the end of chapter three, we are basically certain that Manatsu has fallen for Sumie. (Whether it's love or lust is debatable). at the start of Chapter 4, she reaffirms that it's okay if it's temporary https://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/girlfriend_limited_to_7_days_ch04#3

by the end of chapter 4, it looks like Sumie is falling for Manatsu, too. just look at that subtle smile: https://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/girlfriend_limited_to_7_days_ch04#26
And, i mean, who wouldn't. Despite how different the two are, Manatsu treats her as a peer, and is ready to protect her when Sumie needs it. And she would never belittle her.

Makes me wonder if either of them will dare to step thru the pile of complications they are building over their seven days if dating, confess their feelings on day eight?

*checks calendar*

I'm sticking to my prediction that the earliest we'll see a resolution to this will be at (around) Christmas. so either two or three weeks.

Didn't Mitsuki write an album full of (love) songs to Aya?
Does Mitsuki have any self awareness??

we all know one guy in this series who's actually constantly pointed out that he's not in the least not interested in (dating) girls…

If Narita got a boyfriend and kissed him before the girls even confess to each other I'd laugh

Though it does feel like with the flowers that the confession coming...maybe...?

I feel like Narita is meant to be the token aroace friend who helps out the main couple bc he likes romance but not for himself (like Maki-kun in Bloom Into You) however, I would absolutely love it if he turned out to be gay

isn't that Narita there on the left? https://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/the_guy_she_was_interested_in_wasnt_a_guy_at_all_ch112#3
the two look awfully flirty…
i think the race is on.

trying to imagine the budget for the music if this was turned into a faithful Anime adaptation,

this is cheaper than therapy tho

aaaaaaaaaahhh
i don't really know why i was expecting the adult to act like an adult in a manga.

and thanks to Ah... and Mm... Are All She Says, i still can't read senpai and kouhai without adding "doggy style"

(it's in this chapter https://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/ah_and_mm_are_all_she_says_ch04#14)

I see her mother stopped smoking for the serialisation… I wonder if that is a sign we'll get a slightly tamer story than we all expect?

given that the prom is happening on Christmas, I reckon we can expect some form of resolution or at least climax around our Christmas time, so strap in.

good grief, I was so unbelievably hopelessly horny at that age. I honestly don't know how i got thru that age. (actually, it was probably thanks to denial, social awkwardness, and drugs)

Kanna came back to take Mitsuki to success, instead she's finding herself falling into an old path.
Meanwhile, success is finding Mitsuki at home, while Mitsuki sees Kanna not as someone who would bring her to success, but rather a mother figure.

at least according to Joe, we hadn't heard that directly from Mitsuki, so we can put it off for now.

Mitsuki is on a good track, even without Kanna.
Joe is comfortable where he is, but he would be happy with Kanna by his side.
Kanna is… not. If she's running away, again, I think she's running away alone, again.

If she does, and Aya and Mitsuki haven't made up or come together at that point yet, it's going to trigger a major awakening in Aya*, because she can't deny the parallels between herself and Kanna with the past repeating.

(*also Joe)

after reading this story so far, I really want someone to go ahead and translate Arai Sumiko's Bokura wa Kanojo ni Izonshou / 僕らは彼女に依存症 / We are addicted to her

Does someone know the original title please?

危险情人

No but seriously, what does "starting with the form" mean?

I'm guessing it's about function vs form? Often times, if you don't understand the function of a (well designed) thing, you can start by exploring its form, and maybe learn some insights from that.

(I'm not sure dating is well designed enough to learn anything meaningful from it, tho)

It makes perfect sense how this whole situation could lead into them both being frustrated with each other for things being so awkward and tense, but neither of them has stepped up and really tried to talk it out (yet).

I'm pretty, and sure, that in this manga the talking will need to be kicked off with singing first.
maybe Narita will actually have to organise a prom. Maybe Narita will actually have to do something, that's actual work, huh?

it's hard to even know if there's updates from the author, because they've only put this on twitter, and not on their https://www.pixiv.net/en/users/46834327
