They're obviously going to meet their future boyfriends at this gig.

Imagine making your new best totally straight girl friend blush like that. Totally a straight girl move.

That brought a smile to my face.

I was actually hoping someone could clarify asexuality for me as I am a sexual person,

The prefix 'a-' can mean "on, in, at", "in such state or condition", "in the manner of", or "not or without" depending on conext. Therefore, the word asexual can mean to be without or to not have sex or to be in the state or condition of sex. Asexuality can be no sex and can be having sex.

However, if one derives some form of fulfillment from sex, isn't that just being sexual regardless of importance and or prevalence or rate of occurrence?

I would have to assume that asexuality is ultimately defined by a state of absence of sex that is sustained without any desire for sex and any derived fulfillment from sex. Rather, an asexual person may have sex, but they won't miss or desire sex after a time of not having it and or when never having had sex?

Asexuality is a spectrum.

Basically, asexuality means not being sexually attracted to others.

However, there's romantic asexuals, who have relationships, but not sex. There's aromantic asexuals, who have no desire for relationships. There's grey asexuals who do feel sexual attraction, under very specific conditions only. There's demi-asexuals, who feel sexual attraction only after getting to know someone and creating a bond with them. And others.

I just say "I'm just me."

For examples in webcomics, there's Erin in Girls with Slingshots.
Vincent in How to Be a Werewolf who's demisexual.
Fiona in Supernormal Step.
Hannelore in Questionable Content.
Shades of A, the protagonist is ace.
Dina in Dumbing of Age is grey-ace.

Note, the A in LBGTIA2S+ stands for asexual, NOT ally.

This is a good explanation.

Holding hands is pretty affectionate for us.

That's fair enough, this is all subjective really.

Plus i relate to these two characters and don't consider my relationship of 12 years to be platonic. So i'm biased.

I feel like we've come up with too many labels for platonic love.

I am NOT trying to start anything. Just stating an observation.

Which definition of platonic are you using? I've seen two.

They're dating, they care about each other, does it matter how they show effection? What's really important is what they mean to each other.

I'm Ace but not neccessarily Aro, but it's important to remember that both are spectrums.

Excuse me, when did PunkRock get renamed to PopPunk?

PopPunk sounds like a slur punk purists would use against punk bands that decides to make nice sounding music

Pop punk has always been a thing. There is a pretty clear difference between punk music and pop-punk music especially in the lyrical content. In the end though it's just a categorization used to differenciate the DIY anti political origins of punk and the more teenage angsty music of pop-punk.

Don't get too hung up about it, if you like pop-punk then just keep listening to it cause all that matters is what you enjoy.

I'll see you in 2 chapters when we get this one continued.

that isnt willow as in willow smith is it right? like... "I thought it was a good idea to collab with known pedo Machine Gun Kelly" on a hacky, creeper pop punk song, willow smith??? worrisome taste lol... i stepped in bizarro world bc i thought yall millennial dad rock heads would not be down with her at all.

I've kinda held back to be honest.

And i still have no idea what OTP stands for.

Serious answer: In this context, "One True Pairing", the couple or 'ship' that you want to see happen. Years ago, Harry Potter fandom had big fight between Harry/Hermione and Ron/Hermione fans, people who had e.g. Harry/Hermione as their OTP. It's even made it to a dictionary! https://www.merriam-webster.com/words-at-play/what-does-otp-mean-one-true-pairing

In a crytographic context, "one-time password" is indeed the meaning of OTP. The other answers are jokes.

Yeah i was partially joking when i originally said One Time Password as i knew it couldn't be that, but i also honestly wasn't so sure what it meant in this context.

One time password?

One true password

Only true password

Only tits please

And i still have no idea what OTP stands for.

One time password?

This jumping just confuses me.

It took me a third re-read to even realize that the first page wasn't following up directly from the end of the last chapter. (I finally realized it when I noticed she's wearing different clothes...) And to understand what the heck was going on.

I'm pretty sure now that the implication of the first page is that Ibuki has been psyching herself up to drink in front of people who aren't Botan in order to improve her confidence. And she looked at Botan's contact profile, but then closed it without contacting her.

I agree with your assessment. It's just a such a jump since the last chapter doesn't even feel complete.

This jumping just confuses me.

I'm definitely a decaying 40 year old.

Getting my partner to talk for me is something i can relate to.

Kuran's hair is weirding me out. Why is it thinning at the bottom like that?

I dunno maybe she has alopecia

judging by the the cover isn't that just a different color?

It's how her hair is dyed. It's callled peekaboo highlights or something similar.

No wonder i dont feel like I'm in my 40's, yuri really does make us feel younger.

Chie has always been cool looking. Fight me.

I know I was the one who pointed out the song but I can’t picture Mitsuki singing “I Promise” by Radiohead AT ALL.

Hope I am not the only one.
I was betting on something like Anyone Can Play Guitar or Blow Out because they sound like stuff to be played at parties as a closing act…

I am prejudiced against Creep because I just heard it too many times as a tween

It could be purely coincidental.

I want to like this cause muscle, but the art just feels off.

This manga doesn't look like it's going to end any time soon which is nice, seeing more interactions for these two and for what may come (If it walks like a yuri and quacks like a yuri) will be nice. Hopefully more song references.

I always welcome more Ai and Chie. Might go through and reread their stuff.
