Lmao! Love that ending. Dude better not underestimate his wife next time.

@Yotomoe In that case, one had to ask why Misora ​​didn't kick that singer's ass in the last chapter when she tried to blackmail her. Or even before Akira, when she caught her by surprise several times. Although I agree this dude got off too well.

 

[RanmaChaos]

Thanks for the chapter

 

[Yotomoe]

@SuperOniichan
Well, Misora is a very "violence as a last resort kinda gal." And even though she's being wronged she's still under the impression that the singer isn't a bad person. I guess when your fists are essentially lethal weapons you don't just punch your way out of all your problems, even if the other person deserves it. Plus putting a famous singer in traction would be pretty bad publicity for her, especially since the whole conflict is that she doesn't want her and Akira's relationship leaked.

 

[SuperOniichan]

@Yotomoe Their relationship literally "started" with Akira catching her off guard to seduce her and it hit the papers. So what prevented them from saying again that this was a yuri business? And in the end, what stopped Misora ​​from just scaring that girl by pretending that she would beat the shit out of her if she didn't return the tape to her and stop the blackmail? If she was defenseless in front of men as much as in front of random predator women, then she would have become pregnant a long time ago, even before Sarah.

Well, I don't know, this guy literally seduced a bunch of girls by hiding his marriage and all he got was "I gave you a lesson so you know strangers are dangerous!", like he's a little kid lol.

Its not a tape, this ain't the 90s. Based on her story she's not even the origin of the video. Beating her up would be kind of an empty threat since, while it would hurt her it wouldn't stop the footage or anything. I'm not 100% sure why Misora is hiding their relationship. It could just be embarrassing for her or she's worried it'd effect her career or rumors about her being actually gay (rather than bi) would surface. Since I don't know her motivation I can't know why being found out is a big deal at all.

 

[SuperOniichan]

@Yotomoe It seemed to me that Misora ​​is not only open about her bisexuality, in my opinion she doesn't even care about it, just dating Akira as an exception. Do you think she might be very worried if people mistake her for a lesbian and not a bi? Moreover, in the future, several people will directly assume this, since the relationship with Akira will be the only thing they know about her personal life. Personally, at first I thought that she was either embarrassed by the very fact of the relationship, or that this video could become a classic porno tape.

 

[gladiatorua]

@SuperOniichan She is in showbiz. And she is surrounded by a bunch of assholes who could easily release the video for fun, profit and publicity. I don't think Misora is that hung up on her own sexuality and might not be THAT invested in the relationship, but that might the manga being somewhat cynical, so we don't have the "normal" to compare it to.

 

[justjorge]

@superoniichan yeah a sex tape scandal, even a straight one, would ruin Misora's life. I do have a feeling that tape will get out there eventually though, especially since Rui made a point to mention there is still a camera there. Once this tournament over there are so many things he has set up that can bite Misora in the ass

 

[Timeyy]

How the fuck did this turn into a kinda wholesome yuri manga?

Not that I'm complaining lol

 

[SuperOniichan]

@Timeyy Its yuri arc and its says all.

@justjorge It just isn't relevant after the very start of their relationship, lol. This essentially creates a grotesque situation where girls with business yuri are afraid that society will find out that they are a real gay couple.

@gladiatorua I agree that this manga has always been very superficial in detail. For no reason, I'll still be honest and admit that Rui often used this as a loophole for plot development.

 

[Simpleton]

Given that they had changed position in the picture where the hat trick was mentioned, my guess was that it was an explanation about how many times they were at it that evening.
I.e. not just musician above and musician below as pictured, but also some other way (or just a repeat of the one they liked the most as a finisher).

 

[Krune]

thank you for another chapter of the series I enjoyed this one.

 

[The5thSeraph]

The fuck? "Shallow musicianship and weak aesthetics of alternative music"?
Is she fucking kidding? Would she rather listen to shitty, low-effort J-pop? Alternative music is, for the most part, in direct opposition to the things she described.
Assuming it isn't just a weird translation choice, my respect for Akira just dropped.

 

[SuperOniichan]

@The5thSeraph I guess it was about indie rock, which is now very popular among young Japanese or Korean girls. Actually, the chapter was almost overt take that! (in the context of the simp mentality of manga in general) to such groups and their members.
