Even tho I don't really agree with that representation of lgbtq people, like, lgbtq will never be the majority and would never be the ones bullying, even less in Japan, but whatever, still I like this a lot

Huh... so many weird assumptions here

1) where did you get the idea everyone there was lgbtq? The girl that got turned down is, but there is no indication that the others are too.

2) Japan is conservative, true, but its not a monolith.
Young people are becoming more and more aware and accepting of lgbtq issues.

And 3) lgbtq would never be the ones bullying??? Have you ever met any? There are some nasty people out there, we're NOT saints AT ALL lol

Yes, I've met plenty of lgbtq people, I'm lgbtq myself, and if you read my other comment you see I explained myself and said that while they may or not be lgbtq, the manga draws the attention towards the collective in a negative way, so it doesn't really matter whether they're or not

THIS MANGA IS SOLID AF!! BEST THING BEING PUBLISHED RIGHT NOW!! Even tho I don't really agree with that representation of lgbtq people, like, lgbtq will never be the majority and would never be the ones bullying, even less in Japan, but whatever, still I like this a lot

They bullied her because they already didn't like her, not necessarily because they were supporting a specific cause.

I mean,, no?? That's supposed to be her new school where she actually got friends, so I don't think so or at least it's not explicit; plus, even if it is like you say, nobody writes "homophobic piece of shit" if it's trying to denigrate you because that's not what's gonna get other people to support you since it's not widely accepted that people can have different sexualities moreso in a conservative country like Japan, and if you're trying to bully someone you would need people to "support" your stand. My point still stands, it's not about why they bully her but with what arguments
So, about the "supporting a specific cause", maybe they're not lgbt but the narrative is drawing the attention (negative attention) towards them

I don't think it's underdeveloped, I'm just not feeling the chemistry between them. Maybe that's what you're feeling? I suppose that's a given considering they haven't know each other for long, as you have said. I'm not particularly bothered by it yet, but I think the expectation of romance isn't too far fetched in a manga like this. Maybe this pair won't have romance at all and it'll just be subtext. Who knows? These two don't feel like a great pair, but they do seem like two people that have met each other to teach one another some different things.

Yeah it's probs that

first off, why does glasses girl care for short hair girl? (and the other way around too)

Katagiri is extremely passionate about music, moreso than anyone else she knows; it's stated she's the only person who practiced in the mornings her entire time in high school, until Aikawa transfers. Aikawa is the first person she's ever met who cares about her passion as much as she does. Furthermore, though, Aikawa comes at it from a completely different direction. While Katagiri wanted to individually stand out as the first trumpet, Aikawa wants the orchestra as a whole to sound as good as possible -- her favorite part, recall, is when the first and second trumpets overlap. This idea deeply moved Katagiri. It's hardly outlandish to me that feelings would develop from these factors, it's honestly a much better reason than we see in most romance manga, where it tends to just be "they're hot" and/or "they're nice."

As for Aikawa's feelings, we still haven't gotten much from her PoV so it's hard to say for sure, but playing the same instrument together with someone and spending time in the mornings practicing with them is more than enough basis for friendship at least.

the world feels empty, like there's no other people appart from the 2 main girls, and there's nothing else than playing in that band they are.

It's been four relatively short chapters and we've already seen the guy, the band's conductor, Katagiri's kouhai who might have feelings for her, and the blonde glasses girl who seems to be the club's president or something.

The band is pretty much all Katagiri is but that's also the point of her character, what with how uptight and serious she is. On the other hand, the band is very much not all that Aikawa is, and that's precisely the point of conflict between them.

why is she with that guy, be it just to fool around or whatever, is weird too; even if you say there's no feelings involved at all, there's still gotta be something funny or thrilling about it for them; it looks like their lips are just touching and that's all lol

I don't see how it's weird. She's with him because it's fun for her. It's implied there are other possible reasons but like, what else do you need lol.

why is she being harassed (verbally) by the director (or was harassed, i don't know if that's supossed to be a flashback or not), wasn't she the first trumpet, like the best and chosen by the director himself? he just decided to hate her on a whim?

First, it was a flashback, you can tell because of the black border and also because it's a different conductor from the one in the present day (easy to tell because the present-day conductor is a woman). Second, I actually think this part is the weakest of the manga so far because what the guy is saying doesn't make much sense, but it appears that he's criticizing the tone/mood of her trumpet playing, saying that it's not appropriate for the segment that she really wants to play. The idea seems to be that, while Aikawa does love music, she feels stifled by all the restrictions and expectations placed upon her by others. I assume it'll be explored more in future chapters.

why is she first trumpet too, we didn't even see why she won and glasses lost

Because she's a better trumpet player. What other reason could there possibly be?

I think @Kirin-kun saying you just want to be spoonfed was an unnecessary insult, but all the questions you've asked do have relatively straightforward answers that you can figure out by reading the manga and drawing natural conclusions. My honest suggestion is that, if you're confused about something, spend some time thinking about what the reasons might be, don't just assume it's a problem with the manga.

I ain't readin allat

If I have to read all that to get what's going on with the manga and actually get interested in it, then the manga is not doing right

Well, sal jiang has done it, they made me root for Hiroko. I started hating this series and ended up loving it, it became just such a complex showcase of emotions with so many social implications and character growth.. I love it and I think everyone should check it out, alright goodbye

Ok, finally some character depth, hopefully it'll make this interesting to read, because I'm sorry but (and I hope I don't piss anyone off) I see no chemistry at all between the main couple

What's with Japan and lesbians? It's all good with girls liking other girls but when it comes to giving it a name it's like NO, LESBIANS DO NOT EXIST

Seriously like, it's just dumb to say yeah I'm in love with a girl (and I am a girl) but that doesn't mean I like girls?? Alright

Edit: ok I see now everyone else is pointing that out too, nice

This chapter was gold, gold, pure gold!! Mayoi the lady killer and the interactions between her and the debate club members are just great, it's like seeing two different series interact, like cameos lol

You can give her as many wacky reactions you want, I will never like Kaoru. She's been a trash-human basically this entire manga and no amount of character growth or goofy faces is going to fix that for me.

Who hurt you bro?
