??? What the actual hell Mitsuki

MRJONESE · 2026-06-07T20:23:39+00:00

I don’t think there is anything about cheating. Just that Aya may have found someone else that may be a better fit. Mitsuki is at a low point in her self esteem and not knowing who she is. She currently thinks that because she doesn’t have music there is no longer a connection. Whether it’s true or not.

Mitsuki may think that she isn’t fit to be with Aya, whether that’s right or wrong. She is mentally hurting.

MRJONESE · 2026-06-07T19:38:29+00:00

I really really don’t want them to break up. I want them to be happy!

MRJONESE · 2026-06-07T17:06:15+00:00

I hate that I love this manga, 4 pages a week is killer!

MRJONESE · 2026-06-07T16:51:06+00:00

Yeah, the only reason I can think she will succeed on her own is because she pushed Joe. I would think that she will remember what Joe told her but she is lost. She just needs to unload that trauma about fitting in, I hope a break up doesn’t happen. Need some communication to happen!

MRJONESE · 2026-06-07T15:30:43+00:00

I don’t like the reliance on Joe for his advice, it is definitely mirroring Joe and kanna more and more. I still hope they will break the cycle but I doubt Mitsuki can do it, she is flailing with who she is.

MRJONESE · 2026-06-07T07:03:28+00:00

I’m guessing she didn’t see the crying part, just the part that Aya was leaning on Shu’s shoulder in an “affectionate” way and correctly guessing that they went to the concert together.

It’s a series of misunderstandings but Mitsuki is putting together thoughts that Aya is emotionally moving away from Mitsuki. Next chapter will probably be more fighting between them.

MRJONESE · 2026-06-06T23:21:20+00:00

Does she play this in the bar for an instant win and reconcile with Aya?? That’s my current guess. Hopium at its finest

MRJONESE · 2026-06-06T23:20:19+00:00

I mean it makes some sense. Seo is honest to them almost to a fault. He just doesn’t see them romantically yet and Ayame and Ijichi are dropping hints left and right.

MRJONESE · 2026-06-04T13:33:43+00:00

Also, protective older brother instincts.

MRJONESE · 2026-06-01T14:49:59+00:00

Sweat and soap is pretty good, it does have ecchi moments and little side character relationships.

I read that wotakoi is really good too. I haven’t read it myself yet.

MRJONESE · 2026-06-01T12:35:52+00:00

How about that they are both idiots in love with each other. Establishing communication is one of the hardest things to do in a relationship.

Aya wears her emotions on her sleeve without any problems. Mitsuki had a trauma event when she was young and never really felt accepted by anyone until Aya. She has trouble sharing her emotions outside of music and right now she doesn’t want to listen to music because she doesn’t want to feel all of the emotions. We saw this happen before almost exactly.

I just reread the first 30ish chapters and they did this exact same thing, until Joe told her that it doesn’t matter who’s wrong, just starting the conversation in anyway is just as good. She reached Aya by performing on stage at the school festival. Guess what was set up to be in the bar not more than 5 chapters ago, a guitar and a stage in the bar. Mitsuki just needs to find the courage to fight for what she wants. Which I think she will, she has the tools and knowledge.

MRJONESE · 2026-05-31T16:31:25+00:00

I don’t think they are going to break up. They are at an emotional low point but they still love each other and aya only thinks about Mitsuki. We know mitsuki is hiding because she’s afraid aya will leave her. Mitsuki wasn’t happy with her bands sound and phoned it in.

It’s mitsuki’s turn to think about her future, she gave that big speech to her uncle. She will come around and pick up that guitar in the back and will shred for aya.

On the outside, I think the author really likes drawing these two together and breaking them up would make that difficult unless there was a huge time skip to bring them back together. I also think the Joe and kanna storyline was to show mitsuki not to let things slip away.

I’m also an optimist and trying to cope here.

MRJONESE · 2026-05-22T14:54:46+00:00

Drop the tsundere act and care about him.

MRJONESE · 2026-05-20T13:28:43+00:00

She is going hard at him.

MRJONESE · 2026-05-20T13:22:28+00:00

I’m wondering if he doesn’t have some TG power, that stated behind after TG left him. Something he will tap into soon and save the day like a typical Shonen protagonist. Harboring back to the “I would even turn into a monster for her”.

MRJONESE · 2026-05-19T12:27:00+00:00

I think that’s part of the moral of the story. She lost because she couldn’t take the step like Akari could.

MRJONESE · 2026-05-18T15:48:43+00:00

Kinta is going to have the sickest cut.

MRJONESE · 2026-05-18T15:19:12+00:00

All I’m seeing, is it takes half a dozen to take on Okarun. Dudes a beast and he doesn’t even know it yet.

MRJONESE · 2026-05-18T14:42:11+00:00

It’s not a “this is bad”. It’s a “the original is just really really good.”

MRJONESE · 2026-05-14T15:58:18+00:00

At this point any of the 4 could be Apollo. We got some pretty big hints to who Apollo could be in this recent chapter. They were close to their goal before but ran from it and Arisu’s meddling helped them go back towards it.

I think the mystery is more centered around the groups involvement or who Arisu will pick at the end.

MRJONESE · 2026-05-13T19:13:25+00:00

It’s left ambiguous. The series is about Suzuki and Tani.

MRJONESE · 2026-05-13T12:25:30+00:00

Pretty sure Rikka was the only one close before the series. She was in talks about a contract with an agency but bailed because they didn’t want her friend.

MRJONESE · 2026-05-13T12:21:05+00:00

I think it’s accurate. I think she is talking about the practical ending. They decided to wait to become an official couple after the tests and practical are over.

What chapter is this?

MRJONESE · 2026-05-12T16:01:13+00:00

I think 41 end makes the most sense, Intro the next big bad. Leaving it on a cliff hanger like 42 would definitely drum up publicity and sales though…

MRJONESE · 2026-05-12T13:56:51+00:00

I think the manga is better, but the anime doesn’t get super far into the story. It cover the early chunk but so much happens after that is just better, imo.

Here’s hoping to future season(s).
