The Kanna san plot line is just so boring for me, I couldn't care less about it, feels like it's there just so the author don't have to write about the main "couple" which is not getting development at all since around chapter 60

I can understand the frustration at the slow progress, but at this point I am airline safety strapped into this ride. I really want Joe to go after Kanna-san though, but he still is technically a parental figure to a teenager.

The Kanna san plot line is just so boring for me, I couldn't care less about it, feels like it's there just so the author don't have to write about the main "couple" which is not getting development at all since around chapter 60

Why would the author do that tho?

Not sure why people are saying that Aya lied. At the time she told Mitsuki she wasn't going to prom she actually wasn't planning to go. She changed her mind after talking to Kanna.

That's not what happened, though. The relevant chapters are back to back. She finds out about the prom, excitedly says she's going, tries to find Mistuki, then immediately sees the Kouhai asking about the music event.

Mitsku then wants to talk about it in the following chapter. Aya says they don't even need to worry about prom because she's not going anyway. She says she has a family Christmas gathering, implying she was never planning to go. We know this is a lie because of the previous chapter. We saw that she did want to to go and was planning to go until the Kouhai issue.

It's not a big deal anyway. She did it to help Mitsuki and didn't want Mitsuki to feel guilty by making it seem like Aya had to change plans--which she did. She deliberately down played the whole thing for Mitsuki's sake, pretending the prom wasn't a big deal. This is why Mitsuki is upset now and will be what they probably talk about soon. The lie and the hiding of how she was really feeling, are the reasons for current issue.

These 2 are actually killing me wtff

I just said it? Because the author doesn't know how to develop the main couple, it hasn't developed at all since Aya discovered Koga was "oni-san"

I think your "Aya"s and "Mitsuki"s are switched.

Are you saying the lie is downplaying that she wanted to go? All I was saying is at the time it came up Aya was genuinely not planning to go. Downplaying that she wanted to go, sure, I guess that's a lie. But whether she would be there or not? That wasn't a lie at the time.

The Kanna/Joe thread is directly connected to the main couple story, since Kanna explicitly said that she came back to Japan in order to take Mitsuki back to the US with her.

We haven’t been explicitly told how long Kanna was originally planning on staying, or what her hopes for the relationship with Joe currently are. Nor do we know why Joe has been Mitsuki’s de facto guardian, what the legal status of that relationship is, or why they didn’t all go to the US together in the first place (although we can infer that it would be difficult to emigrate and try to start a musical career as a punk musician while caring for a toddler).

But we do know that in the first instance Kanna’s ambitions for Mitsuki are a threat to separate the MCs.

Thanks, I'll update! It felt wrong but I didn't double check. She also lied about having a family gathering. She made it seem like going to the prom was never in the plans because she would always be with her family that day.

That was a lie, as she had been planning to go. Then, she continued to downplay her intentions, etc. Mitsuki will be upset once she finds out Aya was not being truthful about her plans and desire to be at the prom. None of that tension works without understanding that Aya hasn't being upfront and truthful with Mitsuki. There will almost definitely be a scene where Aya finally admits that.

I mean, this could be just due to perspective, but I can't really see a reason to agree with this. Progress has been made, even if a confession hasn't happened yet.

Also, to me at least, it feels like the situation with Kanna is not only to act like padding (since a story resolving too quickly can technically be a problem), but to also give a proper identity to the Uncle, so he's not just someone who simply exists.

This all seems final hurtle-ish. Like we're building up to the climax. I'm sensing a grand gesture at the prom. Maybe a surprise performance by a curtain up and coming singer.
