Im lost at this point, where was the last time the "main couple" showed up? Himari and Yori?

I'm not sure if your question is sarcastic given the quotation marks but isn't Aki and Shiho are the real main couple?

The premise of the current arc is to think really good on your future. SSGIRLS is set to go for college and Yori seems to feel like going to college as well than going pro for now. Meanwhile, Shiho is dead set on going pro with Laureley, which seals the deal with the band going viral, scouted by Queen Records, and got offered to perform in Zepp.

One thing is clear that Momoka only want to go pro because it's Kyou's dream and she can't think of anything for herself. It may take a while before we finally get Momoka's POV because we're about to get more of Hajime.

This may or may not be a hot take but I don't think Yori can do of help at the current arc. Maybe if she'll be able to recall what Momoka said earlier during AyaMiki's arc, which will be quoted below, then it may be a tiny bit of help but it's better than nothing.

On her yearning for Kyou, probably

It's okay to hold onto these feelings even if they're not rewarded. What's so wrong about that?
People are free to keep feeling the way they do, aren't they? I don't think I've ever though about giving up on my feelings.

On Hajime

I think she's just being considerate of me. She's probably just making sure I'm not lonely...

who's Yori?

I chuckled.

Momo with all due respect it's time to move the fuck on. I get it it's hard but it's been many years at this point the chick was even going to break up with you. Again I get it it's hard to move on from your past especially when you lose a loved one, however living in the past and never moving on is going to slowly eat away at your mind and you're just gonna stay miserable the rest of your life.

I agree. I wonder how long Momoka will keep on avoiding the topic of moving forward in life without Kyou. Now I'm not so sure if she's willing to open up to Himari. If she won't open to Himari, then who will she ever open up to?

I'm looking forward to the hot springs chapter.

I also don't feel like the author knew what to do with Yori and Himari anymore anyway. The Aki/Shiho storyline helped give at least Himari a lot to do and an arc to progress within. Even now I still don't feel like she knows what to do with Himari and Yori for long stretches. They were mostly fluffy and didn't have major arcs beyond that. Now Himari is developed quite a bit but in connection to Shiho and the band. Yori has kind of got the shit end though. To me it felt like the Takeshima really wanted to write drama and dynamic relationships and took off once she got the chance.

I've noticed some people are complaining about a lack of Yorihima lately, especially given the fact that Himari just met Yori's parents a few chapters prior and that meeting is a huge one given on what we've got lately.

When's the last time we even saw Yori
Let alone focused on her and Himari

In the meantime, Yori is currently stuck in "thinking for her future" phase that may take months or years given WYALS updates monthly while Himari will face a bigger obstacle compared to how she handled AkiShiho. I guess Yori and Hima may, or may not, have a talk on what's going to happen in the next few chapters.

I've been enjoying the drama so far as I'm waiting in anticipation on how Hajime and Momoka will move forward in life after Kyou's death. I'd love to see how Takeshima will handle their arc.

It's fine at best. Just a very mediocre romance drama, I am genuinely surprised it HAS lasted this long given how generic the whole thing is. it's disappointing it has come this far and never really tried to be more complex than it is. Feels very "don't want to let it end cause it's popular" rather than really continuing for a meaningful reason, which happens a lot tbf so not really a surprise.

Don't take it personally though it's just my opinion. I can understand why people like it, I just crave more interesting stories and developments in relationships and this comes across all very surface level to me. I will still keep reading in the mean time and maybe Eku's next series will move on from high school dramas.

Hmm are you sure you're reading the series properly? I've seen some nuance from the drama is that is happening once you've read between the lines so I don't think "generic" is the correct word. To add, this series still has unfinished business going that it won't make sense if it should end where you think it must end, so I don't agree with your "don't want to let it end cause it's popular" line either.

Other than that, although I have to admit that waiting for a new chapter on a monthly basis can be a bit draining at times, I'm excited because this series still has a lot more to offer despite some setbacks that happened in the previous years. I am hyped for AkiShiho and Laureley's development ngl.

Off-topic, I wonder why Chapter 64 is not available here? I'd like to see spoilered-text discussions about that chapter here.

Finally! I've been waiting for the confrontation for so long!

I feel like I'm just reading this out of habit by now. I loved it at the beginning, but now there are too many characters with same-face syndrome and I can't remember which ones are annoying and why.

That's interesting and unfortunate. I personally don't have any issue telling the characters apart and knowing who everyone is, and I'm still very much enjoying the series...but based on comments on Dynasty for awhile now I think I'm in the minority of people that still love this series and am still following it because I still enjoy it. Ah well, I just have to love it enough to make up for all the people that no longer do haha

Late to the party and I feel the same

My bad. I wasn't supposed to discuss anything until it gets properly translated.

But then it was brought up. I won't do that again.

Incidentally, I wonder if the English version of this chapter was translated from the Spanish version, since I saw a few cases of upside-down exclamation marks(for example, the only speech bubble on the third-to-last page).

I just checked the one posted on the other site, and dodgy editing is so crystal clear that I'd rather wait for the /u/ Scanlations one even if it takes weeks. On the other hand, I just MTL the raws for myself once its up.

I didn't expect for the angst and suffering to start too soon after the yakiniku scene. And while Hajime has a point, her mistake is she brought it up at the worst possible time and place: Momoka is at her most vulnerable at a place she can let it all out.

Himari seriously really needs to step up her manager game given how she has zero knowledge on record labels and Zepp, I hope it balances out with her man-management instead.

I couldn't really care for the new couples in this, not sure why

Which couples? AkiShiho are the most interesting to me because I like their history and I'm a sucker for their dynamic. I also really like YoriHima to a lesser extent.

I'm not as interested in Aya/Miki, but I'm hoping to see more of Momoka/Hajime, especially what the impact of Kyou's letter would be. I'd also like to see more flashbacks on Kyou and Momoka's relationship that show how each of them viewed it.

ngl I main AkiShiho but I'm watching Hajimomo's storyline with great interest. Hajime and Momoka are Shiho's bandmates and if anything that is going to happen between them, not only Shiho will be affected but Aki may also be affected.

I may not be interested in AyaMiki but I'm watching Ayaka's role once Hajimomo lores gets deeper.
