#chapter79

So, as I've been more active on the SXF fandom and specially here on Tumblr, I thought I could make a short (spoiler: it was everything but short) post of every new chapter coming out. It's not really an in depth analysis, rather a personal view on the chapter as someone who is amazed by this manga and everything related to it, so let's go.

Quick disclaimer, before we start. I'm doing this in English, as I believe it's easier to reach out to others (rather than in Portuguese, my mother language), so, if you encounter some grammar or spelling mistakes, it's probably due to me being a bilingual mess, sorry about that.

I absolutely loved the fact that it was Sharon who noticed about Yor being more communicative with them (and it was her the one doing a lot of other things I will be mentioning here later) which really surprised me. It's really fun to see how the relationship of Yor and her colleagues are improving (and considering chapter 1 and 2, that was a hell of an improvement, specially Camilla).

Okay, I relate to Yor a lot. Mainly because I recognize someone with low self-esteem when I see it. And the fact that she believes it's a bother to be more communicative with others and apologized has got me, but I'm glad Sharon said what I was thinking (girl, you are a precious baby, why a bother?). It's also nice to see Sharon worrying about Anya.

This part is absolutely awesome. Sharon asking if Yor was coming with them, leaving Millie and Camilla surprised. It was definitely a first, as Millie said, so it got me even sadder when I realized that Yor was not at all expected to be invited, which makes me believe it's something that has happened before. And it happened a lot, her being left out by her colleagues. Totally breaks my heart (cause I believe Yor is a peanut and deserve to be protected, if you haven't noticed it yet), so I'm really glad to see some improvement.

I love the fact that she worries about calling Loid. Specially because she doesn't need to pretend for him, okay, sure, she wants to appear normal, to not be seen as an assassin, but with Loid her guard is getting down and down, which is very good (ship wise). I truly believe that her calling him wasn't for the looks, but due to her actually worrying about him or Anya waiting for her to have dinner. It's really cute.

She is so adorable, what the actual heck? Okay, moving on.

Someone pointed this out (I don't know who, I'm really sorry) about their drink glasses. While Yor has a quite small cocktail-ish glass, Millie, Sharon, and Camilla have big beer cups, which, again, is a detail. However, I absolutely love Endo's sense of detailing on this manga, to show Yor's weak for booze in subtle ways.

Yor immediately blushing after Camilla simply asks if her and Loid are getting along is pure gold. I truly believe it is not solely her drunk blushing (since it goes all over her face and chest sometimes, while on this she is blushing only on her cheeks). Then, Millie realizing it, puts more fire on it (poor Yor, yet go Millie, at least this time).

And Yor coming up with something that I value her for thinking about, which is a child perception of intimacy in her home, is awesome.

It's cute how she thinks that about Loid, it's actually quite cute. Something NOT CUTE is Camilla and Millie still thinking crap about Yor's marriage. Specifically Millie, she wants to tell Yor to dump her hubby, why tho? Is everyone in freaking Berlint wanting Loid? (can I judge them? Yes! But also no!). Girly Yor, I'm ready to be jealous and defensive for you.

Yes, Yor, he is absolutely perfect, he does everything. Can we, please, talk about the "why don't you take a hot bath?" part? No? Overreacting much? Okay.

Please, Yor, no one believes you hate everything about Roid. Opsie, Loid. It's pretty much the opposite, actually. Who are you trying to fool, girl?

I believe this bit is self-explanatory. I laughed so much my tummy hurt. No much else to say here. The incoherency of Yor's drunk mind had me rolling.

LOOK. AT. THAT. MAN! Woof. Is this how Loid is 24/7 on Yor's head? Cause, girl, I'm worried about you. Truly. Other than that, can we please talk about how comic is her with that knife? How non-threatening it looks? (I mean, kinda, look at those eyes).

No comment, they are being so nice here. I'm surprised by Millie, mostly. They can be good friends, it just takes a while and more intimacy to be built around them, I believe, hope I'm not wrong.

Poor Yor, not even a welcome home kiss? That's a valid statement, Sharon. You rock! Sharon is the number 1 twiyor fan and nothing can change my mind about it.

Her mind is so fried. Again, poor Yor!

Too many things happening here! First, Yor's colleagues recognizing she is actually fun to be around and probably Sharon suggesting that they should invite her out again some time. I'm truly happy about the end of this chapter, her co-workers wise, because It's such a big improvement. Yor would not communicate with them, and they would be so bitter with her (specially Millie and Camilla). Look how far we've got! That's some major improvement and I'm proud.

Now, to the most important thing ever of this chapter, the kiss attempt! Okay, a little before that, when Loid asked if she had a good time. Am I overreacting to the bare minimum, or there is something else about him? He is so adorable and such a great husband (for the mission). Look at that confused little face.

I bet all the 25 cents I have that Endo was cracking up drawing this face. I laughed way more than I should, oh, poor Yor

It's been 79 chapters, my folks, and we got a tiny bit of happiness. They are so adorable! Look at them? Kiss NOW. One thing I noticed is how big Loid is compared to Yor, look at his body, at that hand size difference. That's… Quite nice, it's all I'm going to say about it. (Is it hot in here? No? Okay).

The second bar is up and rising!

Even though Yor has a tremendous high tolerance to pain, I would not be surprised If she woke up to a big bulge in her head in the morning. And worse, probably she won't even remember a thing, which takes us to the scale zero again. Damn it, it's hard to see these two idiots realizing they are so in love for each other. However, this chapter was all my heart needed. We begged for twiyor, Endo laughed at us and prolonged our suffering. I want more of that, sir, if you don't mind.

My hope is Anya bringing up this on the breakfast morning. That would be quite interesting.

Hi Anon-san. Thanks for the ask. Sorry for the delay. Also, I’m not a native speaker, so sorry for the mistakes in advance.

Kono Oto Tomare Chapter 79 - The Mittsu and Natsu confrontation scene

During group practice, Akira-chan-sensei notices the difference in playing skill between Mittsu and the others. She is surprised at the amount that Mittsu has lagged behind in just a week. Mittsu makes a plucking mistake and looks back at Sane. Then he looks downwards and feels really bad about it.

Akira-chan-sensei says “Stop! For now, up to this part (referring to group practice).” She says that this is also her first week and they will focus on individual practice. (I guess she intends to give individual reminders to everyone so that Mittsu wouldn’t feel like he is the only one making mistakes.) She starts by saying, “For now, Sakai-kun…” But Mittsu knows that he is the only one making the mistakes so he starts to interrupt Akira-chan-sensei and while looking like he’s about to cry, says “After all, I…right now, I’m pulling everyone down.”

Sane and Kota try to disagree with Mittsu and try to cheer him up. Mittsu lightens his expression a bit and looks at them. Natsu suddenly says “But, you can’t play it.” Mittsu reacts with “eh” and looks at Natsu. Someone says “Momo...” trying to call him but Natsu continues with “Senpai, you’ve been making the same mistake until now”. Sane and Kota look surprised and Kota says “Momoyan, what are you saying?”

Natsu says “I’m only telling the truth. Doing your best or whatever, he still can’t play it. If you’re aware that you’re pulling everyone down, it is strange obstinacy/stubborness. Isn’t it okay to use the easy musical score (referring to Takinami-sensei’s offer of making his part easier). Mittsu looks at him a bit wide-eyed. Sane gets angry and pulls Natsu’s shirt and says “Momoya, you…”

Takezou and Kota try to stop Sane by calling “Adachi-kun” and “Sane” respectively. Satowa, Hiro-senpai and Atsumu look worried on the sides.

Natsu, with a blank but straight stare at Sane, says “Encouragement on the surface only, will it change anything?” Sane, Chika and Kota, looking surprised, couldn’t answer. Mittsu, while forcing himself to smile, says “Sane, it’s okay. Thanks. Really. It is as Momoya says.” He says that he shouldn’t be too stubborn (regarding the use of the easier musical score) because everyone wouldn’t mind then he purses his lips in frustration. Atsumu sees it and seems surprised. Mittsu continues on to say, “For now, it is time for me to go home today”. Someone tries to say, “Eh, but…”

Chika holds onto Mittsu’s shoulder but Mittsu keeps his back to him and says “Sorry”. Chika is surprised and removes his hand from Mittsu’s shoulder. Mittsu is shown walking away from Chika.

Atsumu, while crying, says “Why? To say it that way…” while Natsu looks at him. Atsumu continues on to brokenly say, “Mittsu-senpai has been doing his best. All the other senpais…everyone… saying do your best with a smile on their faces… Why? For most of the club activities, Momoya-kun is not going…”
