So. I get jealous and depressed when I see this girl talking to someone who might conceivably represent a potential romantic interest. She makes my heart pound and makes me get all blushy. I love being around her. I can't stop thinking about her. But I worry that I can't give her this "love" thing that I just don't experience!

. . . um . . . Should I tell her or will you?
Yeah, Asahi is getting too caught up on words. I like how Fuuka calls her out on it near the end of the chapter. Asahi's afraid because she thinks what she experiences isn't what other people experience and doesn't know how to determine whether or not that is true. As an autistic person, I understand that a lot. It's something I've spent a lot of time thinking about.
The conclusion I came to is something like this: ultimately, words are what we make them, and one person can never know if their sensation or feeling is exactly equivalent to another person's. You define yourself and your feelings as best as you can at the time, and if those definitions have to change for you as your understanding evolves or as your feelings themselves change, then so be it. That's a risk you take, not just in love but in life itself.

Yeah, she definitely gets the best wingwoman award in my books. At this point I'm starting to think if her whole idea of doing a date with Asahi was intended for these two to get together rather than for Fuuka to get herself a closure. Or she's so killing two birds with one stone.

Interesting perspective. To me it feels like Asahi is not willing to commit to (and/or admit) her own feelings because she'd then somehow betray her sister. But in reality it's probably multiple factors at play.
2 new chapters, with only one more to go!
I was so impatient for this one that I eventually got it in Japanese via Bookwalker (I’ve been studying Japanese for a couple of years). I love these characters. There are still subtleties I’m missing that translation will be helpful with, but I can say that the mangaka did not disappoint.
Ahh two chapters spoil us more thank you! Little Hinako at the store staring at the packaged foods was easily the most adorable thing ever haha.
I'm glad she told her mom she loves Satou with one chapter left all we have to do is bring them together so they actually confess their feelings and don't give no stupid metaphor about crescent moons and crap like they did a few chapters ago when they easily had the chance to tell each other how they felt.
I was right about Hinako's mum. She is an amazing woman who loves her daughter and just wants to see her happy.
It is truly unfortunate that she spent a great part of her life in a loveless marriage.
This series always manages to make use of old clichés and turn them into fresh ideas.
The mom asking those things isn't new, it is Japan after all, but how it was then turned around to show how "just to get married" isn't the happy end most stories paint it to be.
Not to mention, this is the first time I remember where a child actually offers to help their parent, like, why is it so rare to return the afection?

I think the other unique thing is the mom admitting to her unhappiness. Most parents hide that from their children so it's hard to reciprocate and offer help.
