What do we figure the odds are that that husband murdered his wife, and that's why she's missing?

Would be kinda funny if ends up being a misunderstanding though. Like if the wife ghosted him too, and he's hoping Ai would have a lead on where she is, and he only looks so menacing due to resting bitch face.

Is the manga on break?

It was on break last month, yeah. Apparently the creator caught Covid and the flu back to back in December, at least according to some comments I've seen that supposedly came from her Fanbox. It was only a one month break though, so the next chapter should come out soon-ish.

So it was indeed paparazzi. Curious what the director is planning here; I'm no expert in Japanese labor laws, but I can't imagine there is any way she can force Miyako to be an idol again against her will.

And we get some more insight into Asako's thoughts from last chapter. They seem pretty reasonable? It makes total sense that she doesn't want to get swept up in emotions and rush into any major life decisions. As she says, they only just started dating; it's totally fine to want to take things slow and enjoy the honeymoon period. I'm not quite sure what Miyako means when she says it's her fault though.

PLUTO MENTIONED

Psych has ruined me; I can't help but think about Gus' cheesy pick up line whenever I hear about Pluto.

I'm really curious to see how the next chapter goes. I was pretty surprised Minami actually admitted her jealousy, so I have some hope that this might actually go somewhere. Though there's also a decent chance Minami will just spontaneously combust.

Oh hey, this got posted here! I've been following this on Mangadex, and found it really enjoyable so far. The particular brand of angst in this series is right up my alley. Really interested to see where it goes.

Uozumi Ami has a couple of interesting looking series in addition to this one, that I'm hoping will also see the light of day at some point.

Wait don't tell me they're actually not going to talk at all and just practice on their own until the day of the event and then dance and talk after all is done just for dramatic effect.

You know that's exactly how this is going to shake out. I'm half expecting them to not even actually speak, but for it to just be them "communicating" through their dance or something.

Oh, this seems fun!

Aw, that was really sweet. I love relaxed fantasy series like this.

But all this pales in comparison to the revelation Seta indeed has 2 moms.

The true revelation this chapter. Let's hope all this ghost business wraps up quickly so we can turn our attention to what's really important.

But seriously, damn, what a chapter.

Hell yeah, the prospective kidnapper got stabbed!

I already love this. I'm a sucker for food-themed stories, as well as the grumpy person x cheerfully pushy person dynamic they've got going on. Can't wait to see where this ends up going.

Suuna just casually bragging to her mom about having a sefure XD

I keep wondering how long the creator can keep the whole "sefure" misunderstanding going, and they just keep coming up with creative ideas. Every chapter is always such a riot.

Dang, based on that cover, I was expecting a cute slice of life food series, not a first chapter that ends with an attempted kidnapping.

Tsukushi's gonna blow up after this, isn't she? She already was overloaded just thinking about saying the words, a kiss might just send her to the afterlife lol

I 100% think this is going to happen. She mentioned earlier she was getting sleepy, and we know she didn't sleep the night before this trip. I'm fully expecting her brain to overload from the kiss, she passes out, and when she wakes up she'll assume the kiss was a dream.

Heyyyyyy,

I just finished reading "The Guy She Was Interested in Wasn't a Guy At All" and the story really is stuck in my head. Do you guys know any mangas similar. By similar I mean the ones that give you butterflies, all those "zhiihdhskznzbxuxndshsh" kind of feelings, and ugghhh it's so cute I'm gonna cry and hit the wall kinda stuff. If the manga comes with a cool art style then it's beyond perfect.

Thankssss.

My New Friend Wasn't What I Expected is basically "The Guy She Was Interested in Wasn't a Guy At All" with the serial numbers filed off.

Anemone is in Heat isn't similar premise-wise, but definitely fits the "it's so cute I'm gonna cry and hit the wall" vibe. The MCs are so great together. It's got phenomenal art too.

Poor Hinata being a fifth wheel XD

Hirose was great this chapter too. And I think I'm sensing a side-ship brewing between her and Hatori...

So basically She Loves to Cook, and She Loves to Eat, but moe and also with aliens? I'm sold.

Also, agreed that this feels very much like a pilot chapter. The official raw has a link to a survey at the end, where you can give your impressions. I don't know how much weight the publisher would give to responses from outside of Japan, but it probably wouldn't hurt at least.

It's kinda wild that Mei literally pushes a woman down, and then immediately brings her along to ask out another woman. I'm glad she at least had the self-awareness to note that she's pretty much been doing the same thing as Karin though. XD

And as for the ending: on the one hand, my experience with this genre tells me that it's going to be a fake-out and nothing will happen, but on the other hand this is by Tamamusi so I can't count anything out.

Ibu is such a little gremlin XD

Aizawa delivering S-tier expressions as always.

It's also interesting that it's Kasumi asking Michi if she's Michi's best friend that sets Aizawa off there at the end. Aizawa knows Kasumi is dating the senpai, so it doesn't seem likely that she's jealous in that way; even when she possessed Kasumi and tried to kiss Michi, it didn't seem like she was actually in control. Makes me think Aizawa must have found being an idol really lonely, and like Michi she's also struggling to figure out the boundary between friends and romance.

That nude cake eating page was abrupt XD

It's nice that they at least addressed how bad it was for Kase to put Yamada in the position she did. I also gotta disagree with Yamada's assertion that she has a lot more maturing to do; if anything, I feel like everything after the summer arc has been demonstrating just how much she has matured, and how it's now Kase's turn to grow up.

Well that was certainly something.

The little faces on the bread are so adorable.

Yet another chapter demonstrating that this is one of the coziest series around.

And of course it's followed up by a decidedly un-cozy chapter. XD Matsuba still best granny though.

Asako's reservations here are really interesting. Similar to how it took her so long to realize her feelings for Miyako because she was so used to being the one pursuing, as opposed to the one being pursued, I'm guessing she's feeling anxious about the idea of building a life with Miyako long-term because she's never gotten to that point with her exes. I'm really curious to see how it's addressed.

And even worse, that ominous paparazzi at the end. This series has faked me out on a few things before, so hopefully it'll end up being nothing serious, but I can't help but feel their cozy life is about to get a lot more complicated.

Oof, ouch, owie.

That coincidence was pretty ridiculous though.

Somehow, I don't believe the MC when he says he's lying about wanting to become a girl. XD

And damn, I guess there's another curse bearer out there. I wonder how long it'll be before we find out who the mystery girl is, and if she's related to Shishizaki in some way, or there are multiple families with the curse.
