Mitsuki seems to have a lot of disposable income, buying an entire home cinema set on a whim. I wonder what she's doing to earn it.

Bro the uncle is leaving, should have been mitsuki. She could do so much more music wise

Like what? She already has shop full of gear, contacts in music industry and access to a professional studio. What else would she have if she went to US?

And what sense would it make for uncle to stay in Japan when his whole arc culminated in him wanting to go live with Kanna

it looks to me like Mitsuki is picking at her hangnails until she draws blood in the last page. As somebody who has the same nervous tick and constantly has to put up with small but painful wounds on fingers, I can relate.

Whether this as any connection or symbolism to her relationship with Aya, I couldn't tell.

I think Aya is studying so she can go to a school in America so she can be with Mitsuki… I think I may be wrong but I remember that being a thing….?

I think she just wants to understand lyrics of songs she listens to. People keep bringing up Mitsuki going to USA, but I personally feel that particular plot point was shot down almost on arrival.

In manga itself, the only person who brought up that idea was Kanna, in a half-joking way, to tease Joe. She did not bring this up again ever again, so even if we consider she was serious about it, she seems to have given up on the idea.

Mitsuki herself was never exposed to the idea of going to USA, she haven't ever bring up any desire to go, nor anybody else toted that idea to her. And, honestly, as much as I can read her personality, I don't think she is a type of person to leave everything she knows in pursuit of some ambitious musical career.

The only reamining plot point that I can see that would lead Mistuki to leave country is to follow her uncle, and I honestly think it would go against their character arc we were shown. Joe wants to pursuit his own happiness, Mitsuki wants it to without keeping him from pursuit it, if she was to follow him, I feel that it would be against these themes.

And why does she need to leave if she wanted to pursue musical career? We already have someone from industry introduced in the person of Hime's father, I find it more likely this is where Mitsuki's way will lead her if she is to go into show biz.
Hell, why does she need to go the musical industry road? The comic is taking place in the modern times, with social media and the internet in full swing, so she can pretty much become a famous singer from anywhere in the world. Hell, she already went viral, why not pursue this path of indie artist?

Not even mentioning that American Dream is dead and there is no more chance to get successful for anyone in USA than anywhere else in the world, Or that modern times USA is not really that safe to travel for foreigners.

Looks like the whole gang is in uncle's shop. Is it their go-to hanging out spot now? What is Chizuru doing behind the counter? I have so many questions.

So glad we continue where we left.
And Aya has no other place to hide, so there is nowhere to go but to resolution. Yay!

I think it's high time to drop the title of this manga. The title is not pertinent to the situation at hand at all.

I hope this is just Mountain Dew, young ladies.

This really gives me hope for dramatic climax at the end of a year.

I'm not sure why a lot of people are saying it's too late, while the fortune cookie tells otherwise. It's clearly a hint that Joe will do something about that situation.

I do agree. For what Kanna says that she's over Joe, I do think she still has some lingering feelings for him. Othewise she wouldn't get so upset. She probably came for Joe at least partially, be it to get some closure or some petty reason like taking Mitsuki away from him to "get back at him" (I do hope it's not the case though). I'm not sure if they necessarily get back together in the end, but there just must be a moment in this story when both of them get to express their feelings and speak honestly, because what they are doing right now is clearly not healthy for either.

Kanna calls herself "something like an aunt" but clearly her attachment is even stronger than that, she really seems to look at Mitsuki as a daughter, and now she wants custody lol.

I do wonder about that. Everybody just expects Mitsuki going to America at first opportunity, but from I recall she wasn't really presented with an opportunity to think what she thinks about this. I personally think Kanna will get burned second time. I just don't see Mitsuki just abandoning Joe.

You snooze you lose Aya.

It's my headcanon that aunt Minori has a wife. Or a girlfriend. Why she didn't appear yet? I don't know. But I think she's out there somewhere.

Wait, wait. Chizuru hadn't figured it out yet????

Well she had now. She really needs to get a refund for hey gaydar, that thing doesn't work.

Chizuru really went https://i.redd.it/why-the-lizard-gotta-be-looking-like-a-soyjack-though-v0-ox4n2gtz20pa1.png?width=300&format=png&auto=webp&s=f18cdfa24657966aadb6cc7eaf58ea41522f86d7 there

So, is Aya roaring was just Narita's imagination or is Aya actually one of those kids that roars and hisses at other students in school?

Also, I wonder what floor they were on. The vegetation on lower left corner of second page looks kinda like a tree so I imagine Hime climbed it and jumped from it on the window which makes it even more impressive.

I like her moxie. Aya has a true rival now.

New pages up on Twitter.

== In which we learn that Hime is no quitter. She actually waited for a month lol.
And Narita, never change ==

Oh my, we're popping the L word now, are we?

Now I wonder what word was used for love in the original.

Isn't the title more about her own beginnings? Do we think she's going viral from this? I didn't really get that from the chapter, though I see where everyone else is coming from.

It can be both. I think it was double entendre.

Well... That's done at least.

Not very happy that Kase won, though. She's just getting rewarded and doesn't have to face any consequences whatsoever for jeopardizing their moving in, delaying and losing the previous offer, etc. I was hoping that she'd be actually forced to choose and take a stand, instead of everything just going her way for reasons of plot.

It was overall a very weird arc, and I can't help but feel that despite living together, their relationship took a step back.

I must agree. With Kase winning this thing this whole arc seems pointless. No new information, no one grew, the entire middle could be cut out with only scenes of Yamada suggesting moving in and a scene of Kase coming into an appartment staying and all that would be left out would be pointless drama.

I was half expecting Kase losing, telling Fukami why she wants to move out and Fukami letting go. It would allow showing Fukami growing as a person and maybe even start her own coming out arc.
And, more importantly, it would allow to adress Kase coming out publicly. That's something that's been bothering me for a while. While Yamada seems to quite open to speak out about their relationship (though she doesn't really reveal it unprompted), Kase seems to be quite closed about, to the point of hiding it from people she calls her friends and colleagues. Aside from rumors only a couple of her close friends know she's actually a lesbian. I was hoping this arc was set up to explore this topic. It would really make up for this weird love triangle drama that's been going on.

But alas, nothing was learned, no one grew and all that is left is bad aftertaste of pointless drama and failed plot points.

It's nice and all but ice cream doesn't work like that. You can't just re-freeze it after it melts, you need to re-churn it to get the right consistency. It really bothers me for some reason.

Do you think this chapter means drama from before the hiatus is resolved now? Or is this an out of order interlude?
I love this update but I was really thinking previous arc needed at least a chapter or two more to properly resolve.

Why complain about people complaining about drama? Some people enjoy drama, some don't. People are just enjoying the comic differently.

Personally, I like some drama, but get frustrated when I have to wait a week or even longer until gets resolved. Which is the case with those comics that update weekly. I mean, the authors can only draw this fast of course.

drama.....DRRRAAAMMMMAAA!!! what is drama? is it typing in ALL CAPS? is it making a point out of anything in this manga? and more importantly, why is drama?? and when will these two going to get married? and how come Ticketmaster is raising up prices on the nosebleed section to see Red Hot Chili Peppers in California?!!?? >:( all of these questions and more on this forum of.......in...the.....Yuri-field....
