@lexy IIRC, the Chinese army fold their blankets like this. They even teach schoolkids how to on public outreach sessions.

Straight here. This work does a better job in normalizing homosexuality than nearly anything I read--the sole exception is a high-school biology textbook article on the genetics of homosexuality.

@deerafl What Mom thinks at the end of the chapter means even if Daigo turned out to be straight, they would like the two to stay as good friends. c.f. next chapter.

I found this sentence on Page 6 interesting: Could it be that Hiroki found out Yuuta likes girls that caused this chain of events?

@trenslime @niwasatou @eviljackspicer : Of course Yuuri hasn't hit puberty here, but he's 13/14 when he says this in Chapter 9: That said, I suspect Yuuri is autistic spectrum first, and aro/ace second. It's frequent for people on the former spectrum to have a hard time grasping or expressing...

I'd take a note here for future readers: The Yuuta in the second half of this chapter is the same one featured in Chapter 20.

@Kryspy_Kreme: Actually, Hiroki's middle-school yearbook (Chapter 6) contains notes that indicates his middle-school friends takes note of his huge eyebrows, like "I won't forget your eyebrows!" or "these eyebrows is Hiroki."

I'd like to add some background here. In Chapter 6, Hiroki's HS math paper is 51%, which is barely a pass. A little bit of chapter 21, page 6, shows when he was in middle school, he could usually get 90% in the same subject. For him, that's the power of crushes (and also how bad he really is in...

@Tcof and @SuperOniichan : Actually, the series can still make sense if Lily is actually not a lesbian, but a straight girl who has androphobia. However, I still believe Lily is a lesbian.

Fuller review later. So just some translation issues for @PredatorDuck: Page 5, last bubble: Since you used "grittier" last chapter, I think you should go on using it here--Mira definitively refers to it. Page 7, left strip, panel 3: Tomori says she's from "Main Island"--not wrong per se, but...

I'm noting this for future readers, since the first two panels of Strip 12 (on Page 8) are wrongly translated. It is currently translated as: Which doesn't make much sense. Crunchyroll translated the same line as follows: (I take this and the previous line rather seriously, since they...

The third volume of Koisuru Asteroid has such a dramatic quality in it that at times I wonder if it's still a SoL, or "a story told through slices of life." (I guess that's why DogaKobo adopted it as a dramedy.) We get more of Nana in this chapter--now she has her guard down, it looks like...

@ilikepi31415 and @KZO: Suzu is in the entirety of the first-year barbecue. She's still there when Ao and Mira has a very shippy moment when they are stargazing (and detects it). I have to say, when I first saw Nana in the anime, I'm not quite into her, but she kind of grows in me (not to Ao's...

Sorry for being a bit late. Page 1: The manga (even up to Chapter 43) isn't very clear about this: are Chika and Nana in the same class? Page 2: It's hard to imagine Ao not in the science stream (heck, we saw in the previous chapter that she reads Sci-fi!), and Mira didn't seem to be very...

In addition to all the "marriage" overtones, there're several quotable points in this chapter. Page 1: This is the manga's confirmation that the Manaka household moves frequently. I think the anime make this clearer? This is the beginning of a trend of Ao wearing twintails less often after...
