Since chapter 15 this has been Aki and Shiho's story
????? No ? It was still Hima and Iori story since their ongoing struggle and Hima's answer to the love song (you know the actual title and premise for those who still care about that part). They take the stage AFTER the confession and Iori and Hima starting going out and even then the general consensus was just Shiho being an ass for unknown reason (even tho it has never been difficult to know why she leave).
It's been a wish that peoples want stories to goes after the simple going out part but they want stories about the main pairing who is going out with fluff and struggle about what it mean to go out, not a nth story about 2 teenages girls who can't communicate with each other even if their lives was depending on it. The problem is that this arc has drag on for so damn long when mostly everyone know the damn reason of her leaving the band.
Will they end up together ? Hell if i care at this point. Will it end after they make up ? Now that would be a damn shame because how little Iori/Hima focus we have and by focus,i mean by not having Shiho being involved in any shape or form.
