The author really has to learn how to write a coherent and cohesive plot between chapters.

So Shu-chan wasn't a guy too?

 

[Kirin-kun]

Btw, if you look at Aya's neck, there's something that looks like a hickey. Something red too, I guess.

Thanks for the chapter. Can't say I'm a fan of a jealous third party arc but I'll let the author cook.

 

[Orpheus7]

LET'S GOOO BACK TO BLUE YURI BABY
Maybe there's some projection when aya thought mitsuki was cheating a couple chapters ago.

Would be great to see the "Red" that's being talked about instead of just green...

I think that's my problem with this manga. The four page chapters mess with the flow of the story in my opinion

 

[Askra]

just say u want Aya dawg✌️

 

[Andigo]

So all but confirmed the underclassman Shu-chan is so bad at being gay she's being homophobic.

The drunk guy misgendering her is another reminder of the title lol. It'll take some work to make Shu endearing at this point though, let alone pair her off.

I don't know the kanji for Aya but whether aya from 彩 colorful or 朱 red or what, could be some wordplay this chapter didn't make the translation.

Idk what's even going on anymore. Wtf

I wrote this for the previous chapter on Dynasty but looking at the comments here it applies to this as well:

If you're using food metaphors, then the band moment is the beginning of dinner and right now we're on the appetizers and the full meal is yet to come.

I can't speak for everyone, but for me I read a story like this as in flow, and does the flow feel connected or is it interrupted? Does the flow follow reasonable curves, or is it unusually and even unnaturally jagged? And other such questions. When I look at this story right now, I think all of it fits, I don't think we've reached any satisfying conclusions in the college arc because we haven't reached any conclusion points.

But the basics seem pretty well established:
1) Aya and Mitsuki are together, but not open about their dating with most of their classmates.
2) They are both charming enough that there are clearly other people interested in them on some level though not necessarily pursuing them.
3) Mitsuki has been struggling to find a band she fits into, and this latest one seemed better than the rest.
4) Mitsuki is still popular for her playing even within this band, but the band is social media focused more so than art focused which is not inspiring for Mitsuki.
5) Mitsuki didn't want to be seen comprising her art and herself in front of Aya
6) Aya saw.


There are a number of obvious conflict points with these established, and probably a lot of non obvious conflict points, and right now we're picking at the latest developments but we may pick on ones from earlier later on too. Or we may not, whatever Sumiko-sensei is interested in. Either way, none of these have blown out completely yet in terms of confrontations or conversations between Aya and Mitsuki, they're still just possible points of conflict. Hence, appetizers.

This chapter, 155, is picking back up on conflict points 1 and 2. It's possible that eventually all of the conflict points will converge in the college arc. Or they may not, but either way Sumiko-sensei is clearly working towards something with these points. It doesn't lack cohesion just because there is no immediate continuation of the previous chapters as this is still a relevant plot point in the college arc. Not all problems are just going to be shown and solved continuously but develop over time.

i mean it is all kinda there.. with how its shown that she could spend time with mitsuki but is spending a lot of time at the club room instead, combined with last chapters inner monologue, she is clearly avoiding having a conversation.

With these recent developments seeming to build up to some bigger future thing, I wonder if the music producer girl is also finally going to play a role in that. Her role in this entire manga so far has been incredibly negligible, so I have been curious for a while what her place is going to be in all this

 

[noobplant]

Red yuri?

 

[grainy_]

erm…now i was concerned about blue yuri but i’m now confused about red yuri happening? like-

 

[luigiymario2]
