My questions/theories: Is Mitsuki a gender neutral name in Japan? Or will Aya ask Mitsuki in school if she has a brother/cousin bc they have the same last name? Or will Mitsuki lie flat out on her first/last name at the record store?

Mitsuki is mostly used for females ig but Aya is dense af she won't even notice and start calling her "Mistuki-kun".
But wow now that made me excited for next week, bc Mitsuki might lie about her name and surname on impulse, and that'd add more to the misunderstanding. But if she gives her surname that will make us eagerly wait for Aya to just f-ing notice the girl siting next to her and be like "wait, I've heard that name before"

ok but when are we gonna see more at school scenes so there can be a setup for aya to fall for mitsuki-at-school and have a severe dilemma

that development would be chef's kiss but I think the school setting will be used for Mitsuki to fall for Aya, not the other way around. she'll be listening to her honest opinions about her in gyaru-chan's conversations with her friends, without the other party knowing, and getting to see a side of Aya that she wouldn't show to her record store crush. until one day she'll get herself thinking "wow she's really cute and honest isn't she?" (that's when homegirl will notice she was hit by the gay)

that's my theory at least

Question, the effect on the first page - think it's "sowa" - is it "worry", "panic", or something similar?

Can someone be simultaneously this smooth and useless?

Happens way too often...

The smoother moves are done by instinct

"Hips giving out"!??

would make more sense if she said legs

This would absolutely be an interesting storyline. Part of me is waiting for Aya, who doesn't return her feelings for Mitsuki in school mode, but is unknowingly falling for androgynous, record store Mitsuki.

She did get a little blush in chapter 4, so it's not totally impossible.

Ah, and the uselessness starts when the brain takes over?

this is so cute im dying. The braids are a good look too.
Mitsuki should use her given name at school too so Aya gets deja vu.

well, idk how "straights" work but i too would blush if someone just put an earbud in my ear like that. too smooth...

at this point I think Aya will completely ignore classmate Mitsuki and fall even more deeply for record store Mitsuki (mainly via message), and poor Mitsuki will suffer bc "she only likes the idea she has of me, and on top of that thinks I'm a dude, so she does not like the real me while >I< like her".

i predict some drama. I feel sorry for my alt baby

Very possible, but also wouldn't mind given how nice handsome girl&sheltered girl was with that premise or misunderstanding :P

The art in this is so wonderfully detailed! Maybe what finally makes Aya realize Mitsuki's identity will be the tattoo Mitsuki has on her right wrist, that she covers up with a sweatband at school. You can see it clearly in chapter 1 and 2.

Man this Art is phenomenal so clean so beautiful

ah yes. the good ol' classic 'nervous to call' moment. and yeah, they're an absolute mess for each other in a good way.

Adorakable puppy love.

Don't think Aya got Mitsuki's name as mum was calling her for dinner, so cutting the call short, ... though will have to wait for next time to know for sure if that is the case.

There might be some drama, but no way these cuties don't end up happy together! My heart won't be able to take it! Seriously, though, we need a school arc. Although these four page chapters are going to kill me if we get a dramatic school arc.

They WILL end up together. In my head Aya going like "attraction is over now that I know it's a girl" is impossible, she'll question her whole life after figuring out she fell hard for her classmate.

Dramatic school arc will be the death of us. Would be cool if it was serialized before that, so we can get more pages and more development per chapter. (Idk how that works, but the short-comic seems quite popular on twitter... so... maybe??).

Or we can just throw hands at Arai-san if they don't release 2 chapters per week if the story gets dramatic. But that would be mean

She gave out her number real smooth. I think she has intermittent game. It comes and goes as necessary.

hips don't lie

Mitsuki has a collection of identifiable traits. The tattoo, the mole and the piercings. I wonder if it won't be a combination. One of them could be a coincidence, but all is too much.

The piercings might not be (since I don't think Mistuki would ever wear them at school). The mole could be seen as "coincidence". But the tattoo will be just what is needed for Aya to realize... Hope is revealed by accident so it sets the gyaru down a path of "I need to find out more about this girl who sits next to me"

I really love this series and the artwork. It's amazing.
