Was kind of hoping the cousin would just be a one-off thing. She feels way out of place like she came from a different, worse series and both of her chapters have been probably the weakest because of it.
@cor3zone Well it's perfectly possible he's being selfish but not because he's an asshole. I see it as him being jaded by the industry and he's projecting this idea of purity onto Kiyosumi. He doesn't want Kiyosumi to make Azur bigger because all he wants to do is play music and he sees...
@cor3zone It's more that he wants to play music and loves to play it but the experience of dealing with a record label and all the stuff that comes with it damaged it for him. It's 100% possible for management and label interference to lead to that stuff. Look at the band FLiP who were a great...
@Northern I think he's crying more out of generally being overwhelmed by emotion because the best in the world (as well as the girl he's crushing on) just told him that she got to experience something magical because of him.
@Northern He can't keep up with them. Last chapter he basically said he wasn't even sure he'd continue ballet after this year so he doesn't have the drive to go pro or go all out in practice like the others. The others are way above him in skill level so he's pushing himself hard to keep up with...
I mean they are middle school/soon to be high school kids so the idea that they're all starting to develop romantic feelings and attraction is fine. I figure if it happens it'll happen and I don't see it turning into some kind of romantic soap opera or anything because Kanade and her...
@AWildDUK Back when Yokota was doing Sesuji he said one of the things he tried to do with the cast was make every character feel like they could star in their own series so in other words making every character strong and interesting. That seems to be a general philosophy he's applied to his...
@Miriable Why would he be arrested for statutory rape? He was a high school student tutoring a middle school girl not an adult teacher. He's still an asshole but he's not a pedo at least as far as has been shown, just a horny teenager.
@Daphine Her looks have nothing to do with it. He says...
All of the "drama" in this series isn't intended to be drawn out because this isn't a series where the point is to drag the reader along. Drama like this or Meguro's sister exists as a small obstacle to reinforce the strength of their relationship and show why the two are good for one another as...
Yeah stuff like that isn't to foreshadow that Makoto's going to ditch her once he's more confident or that anyone could've done it. It's to reinforce the idea that the two of them are right for one another. We actually see how the relationship benefits both people beyond "they like each other...
Terumoto obviously isn't in the running no matter what she might think and will likely end up with Yuuma by the end. Unless of course Yuuma's not into the ladies.
@tseng It was definitely retconned at some point then since there's no way Miku could be a first year high school student and be three years younger than a second year Meguro unless Meguro was held back which, outside of jokes in fiction, doesn't really happen in Japanese schools IIRC unless...
@tseng One of the boys in chapter 2 does say she's from class 2-C which would mean second year but either the author had written the wrong thing or just decided that it's better for both of them to be third years. Koga's definitely a third year (since he says himself in the first chapter that...
