Okie in all seriousness, this chapter being another one to add on to the already extensive list of chapters that highlight sumiko’s mastery of comic panel organization as a story telling tool. Matter of fact, sumiko is just a genius when it comes to visual storytelling in general which is where a lot of things get lost in translation with the audience.

Also, mitsuki being all irritated about aya being clingy cause it either 1) doesn’t fit her perception of what she believe aya is feeling towards her or wants from her or 2) her belief that aya is interested in shu being in the back of her mind pissing her off

BUT HER STILL CAVING IS PEAK CONFLICT AND DRAMA.

ALSO THE POSTER RIPPING NEXT TO “WHAT WILL BE LEFT FOR ME NOW THAT “MUSIC” IS GONE?”

LIKE WHATTTTTTFFFFFF!?!?? THATS SO GOOD.

Mitsuki is likely struggling to not only understand her self worth as an artist but also what her value even is to aya now that music is no longer something that they can connect with when in reality aya loves her for her (even the parts that come separate from her music geek nature). THATS WHERE USING SEX TO COPE COMES FROM SHE PROBABLY THINKS THATS THE ONLY THING SHE CAN GIVE TO AYA TO KEEP HER INTERESTED IN THEIR RELATIONSHIPS (also physical touch has been shown to be their go-to language of comfort throughout the series)

listen. I’m all for “writers deserving of having their boundaries respected” but this is so funny to me and like the funniest part is that I don’t think it’s even grounded in reality. like, how are you going to require proof that your readers are in your specific age range? why does it matter to you how old your readers are??? they are???? strangers???? why do you care? how does it affect you? 😭
