Seriously. People can't seem to read between the lines. Do y'all not remember how insecure Aya has been feeling since chapter 98? And how she was clearly upset but wouldn't admit to it in chapter 100 when Mitsuki asked her what was wrong, even snapping at Mitsuki when she told her, "It's fine!" in an attempt to shut down her questioning? It was a big enough deal that Mitsuki noticed it and felt anxious about Aya treating her differently. She can tell that Aya is upset and acting weird, but she doesn't understand why.
Honestly, I think that's pretty realistic on Mitsuki's end. She doesn't know that she's a character in a shoujo manga (an important point that I think people tend to forget when they're evaluating how characters act) and she still has low confidence and self-esteem. All these interactions with other students now that she's popular mean very little to her, Aya is the only person she's let close to her heart. In Mitsuki's perspective, what reason could Aya possibly have to be jealous?
It makes perfect sense how this whole situation could lead into them both being frustrated with each other for things being so awkward and tense, but neither of them has stepped up and really tried to talk it out (yet).
It wouldn't hurt some of y'all to go back and reread recent chapters before a new one comes out, just saying. Several weeks can be enough time to forget some pretty important details.

Love these idiots. The beatles suck tho.
i literally did this because i was so confused at them pouting and not wanting to look at each other with upset expressions on their faces (apparently not indicative of a fight according to the brain geniuses in this comment section) and surprise, it still makes no sense and does not logically follow the most recent issue we saw between them

I wonder what happened off screen for aya to be annoyed.
My best guess is she feels avoided by her best friend while she’s hanging out with her other friends, and is even talking about her behind her back (based on being pointed at)
TLDR aya is probably made she feels left out of her new friend group
Despite being surrounded by people cuz of her new popularity

Ya'll make it too obvious that many of you have never been in a real relationship lol "why are they fighting?"
Over the last few chapters, Aya has been feeling like she lost being the only one who knew a secret part of Koga which Aya has been feeling is starting to create distance between them; so in teenage lover fashion, Aya is mad at Koga. Koga meanwhile always felt that Aya was the only person she could trust and be herself with, but suddenly Aya has been acting distant (because she is unrealistically mad and taking it out on Koga) and Koga doesn't know how to broach this awkwardness since the person she usually talks to about this stuff is the person she is having issues with.
They're both teenagers who are socially immature and don't know how to properly communicate. (and to be quite frank I feel that's the case with most relationships that have drama) Therefore, the two handle this problem the only way they know how -- ignore it ergo ignore each other and be passive-aggresive.
But seriously, ya'll need to go on more dates. I've been in so many relationships like this growing up and this is one of the most realistic relationship between young adults I've seen. Hell, this stuff still happens between me and my boyfriend sometimes and we've been together for close to 10 years. If you're ever in a relationship with someone you do actually love, you'll come to find that most fights aren't big bombastic things, they're subtle nuances that you don't pick up on until you you get the chance to talk it through and find out both people in the relationship are acting stupid.

Aya feels insecure because Mitsuki is getting a lot more attention than she used to, and as a result isn't spending as much time or energy on Aya. Mitsuki does not know Aya feels insecure because Aya, being a teenager, has not communicated this to Mitsuki. Most likely because she doesn't know how.
As a result, when Mitsuki tried to have what to her was a normal conversation and mentioned to Aya some of their classmates wanted to see the record store (which Aya considers to be "their place"), Aya was visibly upset. When Mitsuki, concerned, asked her what was wrong, Aya snapped at her that nothing was wrong and left. This is the last time we know of that they interacted.
They are awkward because on top of this, Mitsuki isn't stupid and knows something is wrong, and also knows Aya won't tell her.
They aren't even obviously having a big fight like some of y'all seem to think they are. They're just awkward now and don't know how to act around each other anymore.
Nothing happened off-screen.

That would be sick. The grandmother of rock and roll deserves more recognition.

Did I miss something, or did both of them plan on the other bringing the umbrella. Also poor Mao, your sacrifice will not be forgotten o7.

In regards to the pacing remarks, I think the only thing to would be to compare progress To other manga (not even necessarily yuri). In Kase-san for example, by page 146, there's already a kiss and an outright "be my girlfriend" declaration. Not "be my friend", but "be my GIRLfriend".
Comparatively, by page 146 in this (of each chapter was 4 pages) we're looking at chapter 36 which was the whole concert debacle. So I'm that regard slow burn is putting it lightly. A slow burn is t necessarily bad if the author knows what their doing. A slow burn still has forward momentum.
I just don't know what's going to make me drop this first: the near stationary slowness of it, or the authors overuse of unnecessary drama.
But this is labeled as Girl's Love (They're just close/lifelong besties, any perceived lesbianism is purely headcanon on the readers part) and not yuri (They're lesbians, and most definitely physically attracted to each other. Romance is generally pure and diabetes inducing with no outright depictions of pornographic sex required. #yuriisnotporn), so I feel it necessary to give the creator a breaking that regard.
I do understand the frustration though of trying to sort through the mess that is MangaDex's "Girls Love" tag, due to the rather archaic understanding of the genre, to get my fix. Girls Love, Yuri, and pornographic content should be better delineated from each other so people don't feel like there getting baited or that the creator is violating their "writer's promise" to the reader. But that's something outlets like MangaDex need to figure out. Not the author's problem to fix.
