What the hell happened in the past?
As others have guessed, I think she probably took a role of her senpai because she was like a prodigy and her senpai insulted her or something. Haruka was the victim but due to absymal levels of self confidence, she quit.
I hope it's better than this...
Great Chapter! The whole group looks really gorgeous. I don't mind it too much but, I still hope there isn't any forced romance in this between Fern and Stark. If there is, it should be done carefully.
This was surprisingly good story. I feel bad for Hiroko though.
Edit: There's a continuation of Hiroko's story in the "Dark Asterisk" chapters of the sequel " Rainy days". It's a nice story where Hiroko finds happiness too.
I think it's likely that high school Riko hired the service the same way Momo did. She was insecure about her sexuality and hired a lesbian prostitute.
The manager isn't a creep, she was probably doing her job. As fow why Riko decided to become a prostitute, only time will tell.
I don't understand what those boxes are. Are these stories made up? The shopkeeper says that the stories sometimes change depending on the viewer.
Also, this one was the first with a clear yuri couple.
I guess even if Byul told her why she started avoiding her and that her mother was dead, the friend wouldn't care.
It would have felt nice for the friend to know how much pain the group gave Byul, but I think this is more realistic.
Since the last two volumes, I have had this annoying lingering feeling of unsatisfaction. I guess the author really hates Aoba. Hopefully she gets the focus she deserves next volume.
