You know, the entire reason they wanted Aoba to help out. So she could do all that.

Watch how quickly she breaks this assertion.

This is where things really go off the rails. I get what the author was going for with the jumping back and forth between two completely unrelated plots, but combine that with time jumping forward every time and a bunch of stuff happening off-screen (like, what happened when Yun and Rin went to visit the other company directly? That's summed up in a single line and no mention is ever made of how that turned out. Or how it's implied off-hand that there's a bunch of models turned in like that, but only one is ever shown. The fact that there are also normal models with no problems still being turned in alongside the shitty ones is never outright mentioned. The entire arrangement with the other company in general is vague and took me several readings (and also knowing what happens in the next chapter) to figure out what exactly is happening with it.) Anyway, with the jumping between plot-lines and the time skips and the things left unstated, now there's also a bunch of events being shown out of order to make things even more confusing. Not to mention one of the most important events in the chapter happens off-screen and is only shown in passing mention. I guarantee a lot of people will be confused with a lot of the details of this chapter.

Here's another thing that makes this chapter go off the rails; kou says she can't finish king's hand, Catherine says Hotaru can finish it, one day later they suddenly mention that Hotaru has lost the contest and Kou has finished it. Then in the next chapter Kou says she's still got to finish her Blue Rose work so she doesn't have time to directly help with the game. This is one point that I still honestly have no clue about. For several aspects of. Like, she leaves it right in the room she was staying in. Apparently after packing with Hotaru. So she did it in front of Hotaru. And Hotaru just watched and gave up on her own design.

I get what she's trying to say here, but she has to say it in the most vague and roundabout way possible. Just say "you bring out the best in everyone you work with" or something. Also, being loved by everyone is not something that someone can be born with. (And she clearly wasn't born with it, nor was she born with her ability to lead others, given her abject failure to lead the team in the past.)

It just skips from Kou looking depressed to Kou leaving like this, so the conversation turning to Hotaru's failure comes out of nowhere and makes no sense, since a single page earlier they were talking about how Hotaru would be good enough to finish it, and the reveal that Kou finished it doesn't come until the final panel, and even then it's not outright stated. I imagine it's meant to be a surprise reveal, but doing it this way just makes it seem completely random. And it's not a surprise, since they're talking for two whole pages about Hotaru losing to Kou. Everything about these pages comes out of nowhere and is a completely nonsensical way to structure the plot. All it does is make people confused, make them have no idea what even happened. Did Kou just happen to bring her unfinished illustration home that note, instead of leaving it at work? Despite the fact that she was leaving forever the very next day and didn't plan on finishing it to begin with? How far along was it? If she was close enough that she could finish it in a single night, why didn't she just wait one more day and finish it before talking to Catherine? Why talk to Catherine at the timing she did? I get that she didn't know she was going to be immediately sent back to Japan, but she also clearly had plenty of time left before she needed to give her answer, so why do so one day before finishing her work? Why did Catherine just happen to have a ticket ready? She wasn't going to tell Kou about the Eagle Jump problems until Kou declined her offer, and she didn't seem to be expecting an answer so early. So why have plane ticket for the next day just sitting around like that? No actual information is given. Just an after the fact "oh, by the way, she finished it after talking to Hotaru. And Hotaru immediately lost when she did." There's no substance, just plot magic to make Kou seem SO AMAZING.

I've also just noticed she's wearing the same outfit here as when she shows up at Eagle Jump. Did she hop off a 12-hour flight and then head directly to the company? Didn't even stop to shower and change?

What the hell is she even saying? She's only going back to Japan because of the problems at Eagle Jump. She decided not to leave to join Blue Rose, but she never said anything about immediately going home. That was forced on her by Catherine, specifically because of all the problems.
