[SuperOniichan]

Do I understand correctly that this is the last arc? I heard the manga was already finished.

 

[Rannnnn2]

151 is the last chapter.

questions for my peeps that are more knowledgeable:

- which chapter was this fight between Momoka and Koharu? (i kinda remember it happening, but not when)

- does Syuko have some connection to Momoka? i know little of Cinderella lore so i know nothing

- on page 23, on the middle panel, when she says "when i remember them dancing during the opening act" is that refering to their rehearsal or something else?

 

[Taper]

Aww!

questions for my peeps that are more knowledgeable:

- which chapter was this fight between Momoka and Koharu? (i kinda remember it happening, but not when)

The chapter is Flowering Fight, which is chapter 88 (91 on MangaDex)

- on page 23, on the middle panel, when she says "when i remember them dancing during the opening act" is that refering to their rehearsal or something else?

The opening act probably refers to the events from the Chie storyline, or chapters 16-20.

And regarding your third question... well, I don't know the answer either, sorry. That would probably require someone who is more knowledgable about the franchise as a whole, I only know it from the animes and the U149 manga 😅

I looked around a bit and I think I can answer these. The argument with Momoka and Koharu is indeed Flowering Fight, and the Opening Act refers all the way back to the Chie arc almost 100 chapters ago. Syuko and Momoka is more complicated though. Syuko shows up halfway through Chapter 95. She talks to all the idols, but re-reading the chapter, it looks like the mangaka is trying to emphasize how Momoka is listening to/reacting to the things she says. Momo is often in the center of the panel in group shots in that chapter. It could also just be Momoka is similar in demeanor to Sae, who Syuko is close friends with. I think this is most likely the idea, since Syuko says that Momoka reminds her of Sae. The argument(s) with the director about "acting more childlike" that gets referenced here was also almost 100 chapters ago, if it's the one I think it is (Momoka's Arc) but it happened more than once.

This manga somewhat excels at establishing subtle thematic motifs without starting them directly. Like in this Chapter, there's a throwaway detail that they're performing directly after Sachiko and Kyoko, and the next panel is Momoka contemplating the situation. If we go all the way back to Momoka's arc, she's following Sachiko in jumping off the platform. Later in the chapter, we see a group shot of the older girls watching footage of the U149 crew rehearsing. Sachiko is watching the screen, but Kyoko is watching Sachiko. Maybe she's nervous or maybe they have some kind of friendly rivalry. There are lots of little details like that.

Momoka has always given me the impression she plans almost everything she does (probably because of her upbringing), and thats what makes her seem more mature in comparison to the rest of the U149 girls
so Syuko probably does see her as a small Sae


unless there's something between them in the game, but if there is, i couldnt find anything relating them


thanks for the long and deep insight!
