That's it. Meta-chan is my favorite character from here on. I know that's not her name and I know she's not even in the competition. I don't care.

Totally true, except that's not what's happening. Ouka just got put on a bus, her "development" basically being a retcon that she summarized in like a single panel ("oh, I was actually about to give up on my dream when I met you"). If that's what the author calls character development, then we...

Oh, come on. I get that Ami was innocent and naive, but her clubmate and the Brazilian girl too? Is it really some stupidity virus that's spreading...?

Is she really going to be a main character? That misunderstanding joke is getting old already...

Not sure what to say. She certainly did not have much romantic chemistry with Hayato, but it was nice to have a main character who wasn't a child in a grown woman's body or head over heels for him. The way the story progresses, it feels as if it's only downhill from here.

Average Japanese high school student: "Hobbies are off limits! Club activities are forbidden! I must spend my entire 3rd year preparing for the exams or I won't get into university!" Ami: "Oh yeah, I got accepted via some karate scholarship." Savage.

These girls are all going to lose. It's one flag after another.

So very meta. Disturbingly close to my own impressions of the girls' chances though.

Oh, so the interior of the cafe is based on a real one...

I... don't get it. She went to her mom, told her to die in agony, but that was all an act, and that should express... what exactly?

What the hell did I just read...?

Most nonsensical chapter yet. Not sure if that's a good or a bad thing.

Really...? I mean, you may or may not like Yotsuba for various reasons, but Ami is the literal joke character of the manga with the emotional maturity of a grade schooler (okay, middle schooler if we're being charitable).

Okay, this was a genius twist at the end, I'll give it that

Good lord, just how old is Ami supposed to be...? This goes way beyond sheltered/innocent.

What you describe and the manga trope I mentioned seem like two related, but separate topics. Humility can be a virtue. But saying something like "I have no talents" is not the same as the reasonable claim that "I'm probably not the world's best at what I do". Not everyone is going to win the...

Some rights activists these are.

For once I can get behind this "excuse". For the cafe to function, he needs everyone working together. It already took him a lot of time and effort to get along with the girls. If he started dating one of them now, blowing up the status quo, he risks coming into conflict with not just the other...

It's so weird to see a tall high schooler like Ami being given the characterization of a middle school girl. At best.

It was about time the girl got some kind of backstory. She and the costume designer girl were a bit too much of a blank slate (the latter still is).
