Yeah... I agree about the 'Ay'... That's been there since the ones labeled as scanlated by Animescans, too. I've never seen that happen in other translated works before. Really hoping for the chapters by S.O.S. to be higher quality.
And I see another girl can see what's going on here, while Yamato remains oblivious and refuses to acknowledge where his own feelings actually lie, even. Anyway, kinda wild that Honoka knows someone so high-profile, but not surprising how they became friends- when you're famous, you desire to be treated normally by at least someone.
