could anyone describe and explain what actually happened in ch.8 on the last page? Mitsuki lost the paper, it flew and landed on Aya's face. Mitsuki jumped forward to Aya? Using her right hand she grabbed the paper and said sorry. She then pulled the paper off to her own head while her left hand was also up close to her head. This is where she asked if Aya's all right. And then SUDDENLY the 'kabedon' happenned.
But how? Why? Did she lost balance because she tripped as she was running to Aya? Why didn't she land with her left hand on the rails first then? Or what was it? Did her hips gave out again, lol? I'm trying to imagine this and I fail miserably - how did pulling a paper lead to the 'prince'?
Before you read: Can someone tell me how can I get my screenshots to be smaller? I am trying to explain scene by scene but the images look huge on the forum. I want to edit it into a nice little post.
Well, the scene is supposed to be a huge confusing mess, but I'll try to summarize it and go by parts.
Mitsuki got nervous because she noticed she forgot to take off the black nail-polish, therefore for a moment she did not hold the paper properly when going outside to give it to Aya. Because of the wind being very cheeky and working in favor of the yuri, the paper fell on Aya's face and she lost her balance. (The "WOBBLE" sfx is her losing her balance)
"Off-camera" Mitsuki had to get close otherwise the other would fall, so we don't really see but she most likely had to grab Aya on the waist to give her support. Maybe not necessarily "grab her" but have her hand next to be able to prevent her from falling back (the direction Aya was wobbling was one that would make her fall on her back).
The scene we see her up close taking the paper out of Aya's face was after that moment she had to get close to her.
What we see in this close-up is the aftermath: You have someone falling back because of of a paper on their face > You prevent them from falling by getting close and almost holding them > You take the paper out of their face and look embarrassed. The left hand behind her neck is a sign of that embarrassment.
But Mitsuki wouldn't keep left hand like that while she's so close to Aya in that position — that'd be even more awkward. So she just went back to the first position they were in and we didn't really see.
That in which her left hand was there to give Aya support if she has to fall.
The balcony is not one that would support an off-balance teenager and prevent them from falling, Aya would fall and the class would see something pretty bad happen.
I am not saying Mitsuki saving her from the accident is what made the classe call her "Prince" tho. What gave her the nickname was her getting supper close to Aya and in a sense almost holding her by the waist. What the class saw was a gloomy girl no one knew off giving Aya a kabedon (it really looks like a kabedon, with all the limitations).
They saw a balcony-don. Out of context, that seems flirty, and therefore prince-like for a girl to do to another.
If they knew it was actually to prevent Aya from falling the "prince" would make even more sense, but I am guessing no one was paying attention.
Quick recap: The order of what happened was (1) Aya loses balance [IMAGE 1], (2) Mitsuki gets close like in [IMAGE 3], (3) Mitsuki gets the paper off Aya's face [IMAGE 2]. And we're left at the awkward position at the last pannel
Thanks for coming to my TEDTalk.
