The new employee at the CD Shop.

Missed opportunity to recognize Valentine's Day in four pages instead of oooooooooooone.

I'm confused on who she was texting and what she was texting on the last page

I think it's someone who's helping her perform in a live-house.

But I thought she didn't have any friends?

Great art!

^^I dont think it counts as kabedon when its threatening like that lol

Threatening with a good time? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Sumiko, if you are reading this: I love your manga. Please never stop. <3

Isn't Aya acting a bit harsh? I get it, but the latest chapters have been so painful to read. I feel for Mitsuki. Over the top teenage feelings.

Love me some Aya angst.

Thanks to the translators!

I HAVE CLAIMED THE 2000TH COMMENT FOR THE GAYS!!!

Woooooooo! Let's go to 3000 comments!

Once the misunderstanding is resolved, they'll become great friends.

I've been saying that for a while, but the romance tag isn't warranted (yet).

But I can feel the pressure on twitter by the readers who want them to become a couple. I wonder if Agu will cave in.

Sumiko will get there. It’s only a matter of time.

Because there was a reference to Red Hot Chili Peppers in this chapter, this song immediately comes to mind.

I don't ever wanna feel
Like I did that day
Take me to the place I love
Take me all the way

Kind of a weird chapter, feels like there's a page of transition missing

Page? Felt more like an entire chapter was missing

Same. How did we get from the beginning of summer break and planning for the cultural festival to awkward silence and school starting again. There needs to be more explanation and substance.

I wanna see more of these two.

Cute.

The art is cute!

No chapter this week, seems like Agu wants us to teeter on the cliffhanger for a bit longer.

I actually sincerely dont think its a cliff hanger, and i dunno if it was already discussed on here but they mention being in hiding, i dont really understand what that means, like maybe just hiding on twitter. But the whole post today about hoping to finish the comic and saying thanks for watching ofer the characters makes it sound like something behind the scenes is going wrong.
Like posting a 5 years from now drawing before a comment like that seems kinda foreboding, am i the only one worried.

Something behind the scenes like what? Personal stuff? Social stuff? Sumiko has over 500k followers because of her recent work. I understand Japan is conservative when it comes to LGBTQ issues, but hopefully not to the point where she needs to go into hiding?

Make up, don’t break up.

Cuties.

By the way, I don't translate the title of the chapters, even though Agu gives them titles, because Amarrez never did, but in this instance, the title has significance.

This chapter has the serie's title on twitter: 気になってた人が男じゃなかった

Which, in this instance, means "The Guy I Was Interested in Wasn’t a Guy"

So, Agu tells us that Aya indeed realized that Onii-san and Koga are one and the same.

No need to search for other interpretations.

And yet, people are still speculating xD

"The Girl She is Interested in is Actually Not a Guy!"

these comments are everything.

Ahh, the pain in Aya's eyes with the new chapter has me feeling sad :( I have no idea how she is going to handle this ;___;

I hope that we do not experience the unrequited love storyline. At first, we watch Aya become infatuated with CD Shop Mitsuki, who kind of plays along without thinking much of it (only trying to figure how to come clean to Aya). Now, it appears as though Mitsuki has gotten attached to Aya since they have interacted more, and I think this helped resolve some of Mitsuki's loneliness. But when she says, "Have you been looking forward to it that much?" Aya comes to some realization that something is up, and you can see from the expression on her face. She is putting something cognitively together and is...perplexed.

I think it has been another interesting parallel in regards to this chapter because we see Mitsuki excited and happy to see that Aya wants to talk about music with her. Since she leaves the classroom happy while Aya is confused... while in chapter 3 with Mitsuki letting Aya borrow her CD which leaves Aya happy and Mitsuki perplexed about what she is doing.

Feelings are definitely going to be hurt. But I feel like it's not gonna be unrequited love and maybe exploring feelings one experiences at a young age like other hetero love stories. I have faith in Arai Sumiko bc their other stories are A1! We deserve a cute mutual wlw love story!

Good observation on the juxtaposition imagery. I noticed Sumiko uses juxtaposition between Aya and Mitsuki (the kabedon, grazing hands). Now feelings might be reversed? Curious to see where this goes. I feel like the story can go in so many directions.

Too smooth.

Haha!
But everyone already knows that The Clash is the only band that matters

You in danger, girl. Be careful making critical opinions about music around these parts!
