Nice! Glad it's a continuation of previous one, plus now it's official that Koga has her bedroom in top of the CD store; one that.....is not soundproof it seems hahaha tho they were being loud hahaha
Now Im curious (tho not important) how is that place constructed, but given Aya reaction, it's in a way that doesn't resemble like you're "passing" from a store to a "house", that or Aya was just to angry to care hahaha

From the big gay panic attack to the "Koga being way too smooth" attack, what a damn fine chapter!

"They still have a long way to go" NO, MAKE THEM KISS /NOW/ !!! Honestly when Aya was like "how do I get it through to her" I half-expected a hug at least T_T

I’m guessing it’s a mixed-use building. The first floor is the shop, while the second floor is an apartment with a bedroom or two.

They’ve made it to the bed, anyway.

If you've seen kpop fandom, they use "bias" for basically the same term.
Your oshi is someone for whom you cheer on (oshi). So if you stan someone, they're your oshi.
It can range from a fave to a crush. Gotta love fandom terms.

You may lampoon me for saying so, but for some reason I occasionally get Miss Piggy / Kermit vibes from these two.

As usual, Mitsuki goes from 0 to 100 on the smooth scale without even realizing it :⁠-⁠P

That's because it's not easy being green.

I switched from crush to oshi, because at this point of the relationship (Mitsuki's gender is known), "crush" was adding a romantic nuance which isn't there yet (at least in Aya's conscious mind).

Oshi is what Japanese people call a celebrity they have a preference for. In an idol group for example. Their "fave". Someone they idolize, but it doesn't have necessarily, or even that often, a romantic slant.

The thing is, Narita also called Mitsuki his "oshi" and Aya, in a previous chapter, gets in competition with him about who Mitsuki was the oshi of first. Then, I had to translate oshi in 3 different ways across that chapter and it's become untenable, because she might switch to a more romantic word later and their relationship is not textually romantic yet, as "crush" would imply.

The uncle has far more strength than me to try not to listen to them. But I'd have to in order to not force these 2 to communicate clearly more.

I agree with this. I also think "idol," would be a fine replacement. We use the phrase "my idol" to mean similar things to Oshi. Switching between "idol" or (as you said) "stan" could work to convey the meaning between the different contexts. But yeah continuing to use "crush" right now might affect the (desired) revelation later in the manga. It seems that a lot of the point of the story right now is that Aya is mistaking her real crush for simple idol worship. It'll be important when she finally begins to call it a crush and not just a celebrity crush, so it's important to make the difference clear from now.

I like how messy and incomplete the making-up was. Far too often in romcoms a major faux pas is cleared in a single chapter with everything cleanly forgiven and immediately forgotten. But here, the grievance has not been fully aired, nor the apology, fully accepted. Even if this never gets brought up again in the future, I like it.
