The Guy She Was Interested in Wasn't a Guy at All - Ch. 113 - Hijacker

[JKTV]

Has anyone made a list of all the songs mentioned/shown in the story so far?
If not, someone should

Don't you dare wimp out now author.

Go full gay or go home, I don't want yet ANOTHER yuri manga end up with them just being close friends at the end.

It's such a common ending to supposedly "gay" manga that I am beginning to think of yuri/and or yaoi mangaka to be outright stealth homophobic with how many of them are so damn unwilling to making a full gay ending.

K rant done.

BL does this way better. The formula usually ends on “they start dating the end” maybe there’s an R18 kakioroshi.

You want “basic real queer stuff after they start dating, Sasaki & Miyano rules for it.
It does start out very basic and fairly meta, but improves massively and at this point is amazing imo.

 

[Thrembs]

I think it's more likely to be something that comes from editors or the magazine's policies/guidelines.

These days that’s less of a concern.
Even things targeted at young people are loaded with queers these days, which amazes me in the best way. (Been rererereading Mairimashita Iruma-kun and at this point it’s so gay I smirk constantly

For a big venue and speakers, played loud, at a big party with whatever other devices and furniture people move around, I'd feel more secure with aux. Bluetooth is pretty great now, with fragile HD or stable SD. Spotify as Mitsuki uses(?) is always SD so it's not too easy to interfere with, but wired or wireless would need some adjustment to hide artefacts in a spacious environment. Even so I think it's worth the slight safety from interference to skip bluetooth here.

This.
I don’t get why someone gave you an x. I’m a former pro sound engineer (physical disabilities stopped me from working) and yeah, you go physical for something like that, unless you have some system where everything connects automagically, and then Bluetooth is still easily interfered with by pranksters.

gimme physical connections when possible. Hell, gimme an analog system if you can.
At least the board itself. I can live with all the connections going into some digital whatever, but give me a board with all the knobs, please.
I learned from a man who had to build his own boards he was in the business so long. Man who engineered the two best Leo Kottke albums. The man who discovered Leo Kottke!
I can’t stand digital audio! Black boxes and weird protocols and… gimme a rack and a board and some speakers.

…It’s late and I’m bored, sorry for the ramble.

What were you thinking, Narita...?

What did you think you were doing back there?

You were supposed to be the wingman, not bringing a home-wrecker in!

He’s setting up the jealous suitor arrival. Tell me I’m wrong, and I’ll look you in the eyes and say “Maybe.”

 

[MathMols]

Why do you think they were for the girl? She got invited to an industry party at a house she’d never been to before. You take a gift.

Mate🤦🏼‍♂️ There is no way you take a huge bouquet of flowers as a gift for people you have never met at a party… They were 100% meant to be for the other bitch.…

 

[Thrembs]

To be the opposite of this manga for a second:
My recommendation for Japanese music from a Western person: Eikichi Yazawa. Not sure if he’s on Spotify in the west, but he is on Apple Music as of 2 or three years ago.

She stood on a table and blasted Car Seat Headrest to find her <3333 and the lyrics: When we dance/ I mean, I'm sick of meaning/ I just wanna hold you. ROMANTIC ‼️‼️

Thanks for the pro reply! You know knobs beyond Gain and Balance, then. I still feel very new to audio and only know the basics around avoiding a few sound issues I've hated over the years. And I'm cringing hoping something can make Mitsuki's Spotify not sound as grating as streaming music on gym speakers can be.

The X was just someone spamming my recent posts when they didn't like I said a manga (Drama Queen) involving serial killer protagonists targeting an upper caste, and eating them, was very much eat the rich. One X would've gotten the disagreement across, spam was a weird overreaction.

Things are getting so close, I can't wait for the next chapter. Thanks for the translation

This is Japan. You bring house gifts when you're invited to the house of people you've never met and it's not the junior's house, it's her dads. It's considered extremely rude not to bring a gift. If you're going to the house of someone who could make your whole career you bring an extravagant gift.

guy compliments you
”Uh… thanks?”
⬆️ SUPER GAY

 

[Konrad2]

Thanks for the scanlation.

 

[Whileaway]

Would be nice if Aya was not colored, to make a contrast of neon green to be solely for background and background characters for the last two pages. Anyhow, I crave more!

Had to run on an analog board with 2 pre-fader sends, 2 aux, and 2 of the 16 channels were no good. We only had a mono block for the speakers we were using, because the other side of the amp blew. Festival gig, so you’re kinda just THERE so you couldn’t fix anything if you tried. Angled metal roof/ceiling. small building. No walls. 4 days/year, 8 years. Not my rig. Had to do ad-hock monitor mixes to emergency portable speakers on mic stands to get past 1 or 2 monitor mixes. I think we may have run stereo monitors the first year or two and THEN the other side blew…..

We never had a complaint. Aside this one nutcase we could not please and the banjo player for Stella! (She kept asking for more of and less of and more of the less. More more, less more… DURING the songs. Interrupting the harmonies… Sorry, I just boil about that day. Excuse me you can’t hear your banjo? Well, look down until the end of the song.)

My mixing skills are one of a few things about myself I will brag about. Show this to a pro engineer, and they’ll say “that sounds frustrating”. I loved that gig. Best 5 days of the year.
wait, like 6ish days. 18-24hr drive, hopefully a day to rest, work 3 days, 12 hours per day, if you average the long days until 11pm and the half days on either end… I think that was the schedule. I wasn’t trying to keep track of anything aside the bands for that day.

 

[Thrembs]

@Whileaway …wat?
I know neither how that applies to me, nor what it means in the first place.

 

[mogzig]

hijacking the aux to play car seat headrest at the winter prom at your japanese high school is such a powerful flex. it could only ever happen in this one specific manga and im here for it.

Dude… There is no way in hell you just tried to say “Its totally normal for a highshcool girl to give a massive bouquet of flowers to someones DAD”… I agree with you that its normal to bring gifts and in cases like this extravagant gifts, BUT there is no fucking way that you would give someones dad a bouquet of flowers as a gift. You need to look at whats realistic here and what everybody can see, these flowers was for the bitch and not the dad🤦🏼‍♂️
