The Guy She Was Interested in Wasn't a Guy at All - Ch. 96 - State of Emergency

[Zejfi]

Again, in chapter 94 all that happened was a lot of yelling, no talking between them. So it was the bully that did more to this progress and thats just being even more proven by the fact she didnt make any contact whole week and first thing she does when coming back is talking to the bully and giving a new song to him

So you totally missed how her panicked coughing stopped the moment Aya intervened? And how fear left her eyes?

Aand here comes the nose bleed again

 

[SilverAlter]

The whiplash IS the point here. After all, this has only explored Aya's POV so far. The delivery wouldn't have been the same if we'd seen Mitsuki's entire week off school right off the bat.

Aya's intervention was clearly what affected Mitsuki more than the bullying itself.
Whether this is her coming to terms with the idea that Aya and her friends really accept her for who she is even after being mocked like that, and thus realizing she can just be herself 24/7; or if this is a facade she's putting up / a defense mechanism to trauma that's kicking in with the help of Aya's support... we are yet to see.

Keep in mind that dude put her love song, which is irrefutably dedicated to Aya, on blast. And Aya not only assuredly realized that, but immediately going ballistic for her, is HUGE for Mitsuki.

Aya got nosebleed 'cause her girlfriend is too hot.

Thanks for the chapter! Really enjoying this turn in the story.

 

[Konrad2]

Thanks for the scanlation.

Wòoooooo, Sesbian lex!!!

No speedreader kun, you got it completely in reverse. People want themes to be properly explored and explained instead of sudden time skips. That's what "pacing problems" mean.

Thank you and everyone with the upset reacts for reinforcing my point lmao.
SilverAlter's post perfectly explains my reasoning, so I'll just quote them rather than reiterate what's already been said:

This is not rocket science. Just pay attention to who the chapter is following the perspective of. This is a standard dramatic withholding of information. They've done this before in this very series.

You must feel so stupid right now.

YIIIEEEEE

 

[KuroeNekumi]

The fact she can look as girly or manly as she desires just by slightly tweaking her expression, not even her attire, is great. Love the way the author manages to drawn her that way.

 

[ReaperCreeper]

Like, we don't need to see Koga and Aya walking to the nurse's office together, we know they did.

I don't think any manga would have shown that explicitly, tbf.

Reminds me of this one manga I read over a decade ago that did a joke about not needing to show stuff like that. Pretty sure it was this one.

Awwww a hug :3 but also damn she really nosebleed XD

 

[IbnAurum]

Her bravado took a lot outta her, must recharge Aya batteries

 

[Dudley]

You know, this chapter makes me reevaluate my fem-masc scale, due to multiple "butch" and "he" comments.
Apparently I'm staggeringly

Spoiler: masculine.

though I'd like to maintain that it shouldn't matter that much

i agree 100%

it kinda bothers me seeing people constantly have knee-jerk negative reactions to whatever this manga decides to do instead of just waiting for the author to execute their ideas properly.
and honestly, if your first reaction as a fan to a new development is to immediately criticize it and complain with the worst case scenario in mind, instead of wonder about what the author's intentions are and see what happens, you clearly don't like the series, so why are you even reading?? i dunno. just rambling about some thoughts i've had about how people treat this manga in the threads
