What a pair of dummies, getting jealous over each other.

The best part of this arc is seeing Naori's growth, she really has come far

Oof, I feel like this might get very heavy... But I like this kind of stories,

Praise Negom

So sweet! This one is going to the favourites.

Seems like Hina really needs a better invironment... The moment with the rings was cute though.

Of course, Sorawo refuses to adress Toriko's confession. She's clearly aware of the elephant in the room, but keeps trying to give it the widest berth possible.
So, novel readers, how long do you think it'll be in manga chapters until that changes?

I don't know if it's fair to call the pacing slow TBH, they just got the '' hopeless love triangle'' trope concluded in like 3 chapters, including a satisfying, realistic ending where feelings are acknowledged and people get to move on from them. In my world at least that's hella quick !

When you put it that way, yeah, it isn't that slow. I guess low intensity is a better way to describe it? Which does tend to overlap with slower-paced stories, so maybe that's the "low vibe" we as readers are getting.

Anyway, I really liked Hirose's arc. When she was first introduced and we got hints at a love triangle I dreaded to think how it would end up, but this is quite nice now.

what about the fate of her friend. bro you can't leave me hanging like this,

It'll probably become a plot point in the future. I guess Koharu will be forced to make Aki fall in love with someone. Or maybe Aki, having lost the one she loves, was unable to find love again and will become a cupid herself... oh, the DRAMA!

What a wild ride

Looking respectfully

Friends can't kiss friends

Says who? This is why you failed, Kamiya.

I always imagined these two would have the sickest jam sessions if they were together. At least, as soon as Bocchi got comfortable enough with playing in public (or rather, not on her own) for it.

^Yeah, it's really heartwarming how cute they make them

^Though it's less of a "I might need it later for the final boss" and more "I don't want to use up what my beloved made for me" situation

They were twins, weren't they?

Cutest date chapter I've seen in a while! And I guess next chapter we're getting the home visit date, with a "taking care of the sick gf" bonus.

Yeesh... Not Yukiko's finest work, for sure...I guess she wanted to show a "realistic" view of what being a model is like, but damn was that bad. Like, I've seen news about stuff creeps in Japan get up to and it's pretty horrible, but a transphobic trope is still a transphobic trope and perpetuates transphobic ideas, so maybe next time have the creep be creepy without, you know, implied transness?
And about the weight... 42kg? Makes me think of many 90s models in the west, who were anorexic or were in the verge of it... Japanese women might be shorter, but I doubt it's enough to justify an adult having the weight of a child.
So, overall, pretty bad. There were some cute moments here and there, I doubt Yuma was just looking for friend at the beginning and the way she tried to build a relationship there was nice (even if it's only a personal headcanon). I think Yukiko might want to focus on that kind of feel-good stories, she has more experience with that than, well, this kind of drama.

Now is this just the last chapter of the volume? because the previous volume's ending was written the same.

Last chapter of the series. There might be volume 2 extras, I guess?

Personally, I would've liked to see more of Rika and his mom talking things through, and her learning more about her son's identity and how to accept it... Like, we know it happened from chapter 12's timeskip, but right now it feels like time is what was needed for that change to happen. instead of actual effort by the people involved.

And that's how himedanshi are made...

Kitaku is certainly not leaving it up to interpretation

This is so damn good.

So that was a proposal, right? They're married now.

Cute. This is canon to me.

Aww, that was nice :)
Too bad the vibes imply it won't be nice for that long

From what I've seen being discussed, chances are all this bullshit would be because of some old and very conservative shareholders, not foreign audiences. Unsure of how true that is, though...
