Mask slapping bass is awesome.

She's not actually slapping it. But yeah, since when does she play bass??

Uh. Why are they having an argument now? What is going on?

Yay! Another yuri manga taking place in Otaru!

I have been re-reading this several times now, and I still have no clue why Erimu is so pissed.

I turned 20 many years ago, but I did try a japanese lemon sour in a can for the first time tonight, and Kase's totally right, this just tastes like lemon soda. Yummy.

Fortunately Kase didn't go the Awayuki route. Or is that unfortunately?

Also, someone should tell Kase that he fact that you're legally allowed to drink alcohol doesn't mean you have to.

So, yet another manga taking place in Ueno, ha? Katsuwo really seems to like that place.

I just returned from the cinema, where I saw the live-action adaptation of this. Pretty nice. I'd recommend watching it.

What's with those stars in Ruka's hair? Are those real decorations or just imaginary?

Opinions may very, indeed.

I love me some slice-of-life stuff, but gosh, is this ever boring.

Nice, but... did they ever think of what to do if someone else accepted the invitation?

Yeah, I'm just curious if it is common to use 僕ら for a group of women even if none of them use the first-person pronoun 僕

僕ら is a more informal way of saying "we." 僕 is also often use as a first-person pronoun in literary contexts (such as novels, poems or song texts), regardless of the gender of who is using it.

Wait I just saw that the title is "Bokura no Ai..." Which character uses boku?

"Bokura (僕ら)" means "we," so "僕らのアイ" means "Our Love."

I'm not sure why "ai" is written as "アイ" instead of "愛," but I guess it's to indicate that the love may not be real enough to warrant using kanji.

Wow, Nijika owns a ridiculously big drum kit.

It's hilarious how they treat playing music as some sort of extreme sport, where you play as hard and fast as possible all the time!

Ririsa's guitar looks like a PRS, possibly a CE 24. Good choice for some heavy riffing!

It's curious how their jackets say Yukiyama Resort, even though they're at the Rusutsu Ski Resort (judging by the appearance of East Mt. Center Station).

Wow. Some progress? Don't tell me this will end at chapter 100.

It looks fine to me. It's Komaki's left hand, reaching up to pinch Wakaba's cheek, which was directly above Komaki's face.

There's no way she could have twisted her wrist 180 degrees while sitting in that position, no matter how much Wakaba leans forward. It's just a gaffe... and that's okay from time to time.

Hinoka, please guide your idiot girlfriend gently. She's so frail she could collapse any moment.

The way Miyako often dressed I actually expected her to be go jogging on the regular. I hope she keeps staying in shape after that idol stint. It's very useful for ... certain activities.
