>>287609542>>287609572I don't like where this is going.
>>287609790My heart...
>>287609696IMHO she has that "secretly hopes to be stopped" face there.>>287609880You just know that she wanted to go for the kiss there>>287609973>>287609923My heart... he should have went after her after all...>>287610061Same, Anon, same.This felt like the "loser heroine" last chapter before she drops out.
This week's bonus image
Gorgeous art. As for the chapter, Kazuki wanted him to stop her, but he didn't. Yet an other losing flag for her because while I don't see Yuu actually stopping the girl he loves to reach her dream, I expect him to be more conflicted about it. He looks like he sad about losing a family member but not someone he actually is in love with. And kazuki's sad face makes it looks like she understood that too hence why she told him to go to her sisters (despite her being usually competitive with them).
>>287609973Thx mate.This chapter made me sad. The melancholic type of sad.
>>287609923Interesting parallel to the ending of their first date, when she left him after whispering in his ear. Only that time, he was smiling. Maybe they'll do it a third time as she's boarding the plane, and he's smiling again.Of course, there's always a chance that the test ends up going in some unexpected direction, but I do hope that Kazuki does ultimately leave.
>>287609973Now I am sad.
Welp, she lost didn't she?
Goddamnit my day has been shit and now this
She lost
>>287613154Someone has toShe probably still needs to actually confess at some point, though
>>287614570I like her too much for her to just lose like that
>>287614641It's better this way rather than seeing her become too desperate towards a guy who doesn't like her romantically
>>287614754Fair
>>287612227Yeah unlike the other 2 Kazuki’s success has been REALLY tied to leaving. I’m actually glad that they went this direction (even if I fully empathize with team Kazuki)The story has always been great about characterizing Yuu he’s obviously ignorant to play up the comedy but he is genuinely assertive and generally makes the right call when prompted
I want a figure of Kazuki really badly
>>287609880Bella
>>287617473I just want these cute chibi acrylics, or even just the Yuu one to go with the bigger sisters I've already got
>>287617672Guess I better be patient
Kazuki was the least popular sister, right?
this is so well written, really love his honesty. it's a parallel back in the date arc really love kazuki-san's emotional intelligence there, still convinced that kazuki-san would win
Well if Kazuki bows out, I'll be sad and a little depressed but the other two are really good as well so it wont sting as much.
>>287609820>>287609880This really feels like it could go either way. She could have resolved to step back from the 'bowl to pursue her career or that she realised that being with Yuu will make her happier. As sad as I'd be to see Kazuki go, I think I would resent the status quo development of her staying and no doubt reverting to the usual dynamic that she's had with Yuu for the last however many chapters.
