Trvth nvke we’re so back. My goat inoue

Tenga

OMG INOUE ILY !!! 😩

yehyuh

If you love Inoue clap your hands 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Nadege

I always feels like talking with someone about the fact that it’s Thursday. It’s the best day of the week. 😌

procra

Todayyy is the dayyyy! Who else is here rereading the chapter before the next one releases?☺️

Hermione

Yes! Freaking tell him!!! (She’s speaking for all of us fr)

Madeleine

It is time.. basically. What are y’all’s predictions for tomorrow’s chapter? Mine is that it’ll be Inoue’s explanation and ends with Souta making SOME decision, whether it’s going to the party or finding Nao. Then it’ll be a start to a new chapter next week

Dani

Oh my god guys remember way back when they were on that summer camp trip and they got lost in the woods and Nao told Souta that he would quit soccer so Souta could get his spot on the team back and Souta was like "Why would you think that would make me happy?" During this whole Arashi thing Souta just immediately gave up and quit trying to be anything at all for Nao because he just assumed it would be what would make Nao happy godddd the parallelllllssss Aina you freaking genius

chicknbaconranchmelt

WAITTTT SHE IS RIGHT

♡ icy ♡

I’ve reread it like ten times since illumination 🥲

Dani

I think the karaoke hint was for Taka’s bday bash, since that’s when Nao somewhat rejected Souta

Dani

I mean we saw that Nao has tried to have a talk with Souta but he's been ignoring him. I'm guessing this is a way to make Souta stop avoiding him and face him if Nao wants to talk to him about it

tana

Do you hate us /lh

PikasWife (•bruh•)

Ok, so a terrible scenario just entered my head: Inoue convinces Souta to go to the karaoke place to talk to Nao, but when he gets there, Nao is singing "Stand By Me" with Arashi. What he doesn't realize is that Nao is daydreaming again, and imagining that Souta is actually the one with him. However, from Souta's POV, it's devastating to see Nao singing "their song" with someone else -- hence why he leaves in tears and Nao has to chase him down, getting us to Cold Hands. (I totally know this isn't what will happen... I'm really just anxiety sharing at this point, lol.)

lenawithapen

waitttt she's got a pointtttt

chloe

OMGGG MY INOUE GIRL TYSM

emx_ntsee

Ok, 🧐 so if the party is over, then it's been a few hours since we last saw nao. Since he didn't come to the soccer party, we can assume that he stayed for the rest of the concert, but what about the karaoke after with Arashi? And, if he did go, is Souta actually crazy enough to chase him down there after all that's happened??? (That possibility gives me a serious "uh oh" feeling, but we still need to see Aina's karaoke hint play out, so it kinda feels like that's where we're headed. She even took the time to actually name the exact place they're going to -- Moonshine City -- in the conversation with Inoue, so it feels like that might be the intention. 🫣 Unless, of course, there's still yet another karaoke in the cards, but how many karaoke outings can these kids afford?!)

lenawithapen

I LOVE YOU INOUE I LOVE YOU INOUE YOUre a GIRLS GIRL

garlicBread

Literally re-read the entire series in 24 hours. I cannot get enough of these idiots, especially when we're SO close to a breakthrough 😭😭😭

Kiki

MY QUEENNNNN

Artemis mckee

Why you gotta hurt me like that

tana

Forest

TELL HIM GIRLLL 😭🙏🙏

Mia

Inoue!!!!!!

Ash

INOUE MY QUEEN 😭😭

Allie D

Inoue to the rescue !! 🩷

Elisa🩷💜💙

I don't think Inoue is suggesting he "keep trying". Getting clarification as to why someone rejected you isn't the same as continuing to pursue someone

Sutton

I feel like a no is a no. it's certainly good to be able to contextualize that no, but the ball is definitely still in Nao's court. It wouldn't be appropriate for Souta to keep trying.

Jetare

I absolutely LOVE Inoue. She is so smart and kind. I love that she was so honest and went immediately to tell Souta. As much as I want Souta to believe what she tells him next, I don’t know if he’s going to believe it. It’s a very optimistic view and he got “rejected”. Souta has been mainly pessimistic lately so I don’t think that’s going to change. Even if it does, I don’t think he should go after Nao. Believe it or not, I still feel like the ball is in Nao’s court. If things should advance, it should be Nao to advance them. With that being said, I wonder what he’s doing right now?

Hermione

It feels like Aina arrived at this plotline by asking herself: What are the biggest hurdles for them getting together? And it is Souta's insecurity and Nao's fear of losing people. Now both have to overcome these issues to get their happy ending and I really love how well this is done in this story. The character growth is A+

Sasuna

Yes!!

Norin

MY QUEEN INOUE ALWAYS PUSHING THE PLOT FORWARD IKTRRRR

PikasWife (•bruh•)

AHHHH INOUE MY QUEEN MY ANGEL!! She’s so emotionally mature and picks up on all the little things I luv her

KJ

ok i feel like Souta isn’t really going to be encouraged by this just because Nao still sorta rejected him. BUT i still love that she’s saying this because it recontextualizes everything that Nao’s said. All Souta really needs is this seed planted in his head so he can be open to communication later on (which Nao is probably going to have to initiate)

nitbit

INOUE I LOVE YOU

nitbit

"ok.. it is different. But is it? He still doesn't want to give us a try, so does it really matter what words he used? And if he does like me and still doesn't want to be with me, isn't that even kinda worse? Like I'm not worth it?..." Or something

HellAngelVero

*Internally screaming* *Externally screaming*

ty

*screaming*

Kyndo

Ow, the symbolism😱❤️❤️!! Souta "tidying up", throwing everything to the trash bag, but Inoue not leting him throw the last bit and wrinkled hope 😭🥲 love you, Inoue 🫶🏻 love you, Aina 😭❤️

Leticia Sáez Ferreras

In the first panel Souta looks so silently devastated, also I wouldnt like Souta to go looking for Nao and skip Jun's party, cause Jun has been so nice with him

Paw Mon

I really hope this, too. If I had to guess I’d say that even with this revelation from Inoue that Souta is still feeling too hurt or down on himself or sad to go seek out Nao. He will likely be like, “that might be true but he still said no. So there’s nothing I can do.” Souta respects Nao’s wishes even though he is “nosy.” The ball is in Nao’s court to either clarify, back-track, or double-down.

EmilyEdenReads

i'm so nervous about next week. i really hope nao is the one initiating a conversation. i want souta to sort of try to heal a bit and to love himself enough not to go after nao for clarification. he deserves to be taken care of, to be wanted. if nao cannot even go after him then i hope they get some time on their own. souta deserves better

camilin

inoue is a fellow fujoshi i just can’t prove it yet

Ells

I also just noticed Souta is tidying things up, so the party is over and we are really close to some action 🥳 So everything leads to Souta looking for Nao to talk.

mic

God's gift to this world honestly

Akash Sandhu

gotta say, i did that to someone once and i really did like them i just didn’t feel i was good enough for them. so you may be right!

Mo

I had this happen with a friend, I confessed and they basically said something similar about our friendship being too important, a year later I still can’t stop wondering if maybe they did like me back cause honestly it really felt like they did. If they’d just said “I don’t see you like that”, I feel like that would’ve been easier to let go of somehow. But it might also just have been an easier way to let me down to phrase it like that, I will never know 😅

Maria Carlson

She’s just like us fr

These past few updates have been extra painful because we are soooo close omg. I’m at the edge of my seat!!

EmilyEdenReads

I am happy Inoue changing the perspective of the situtation for Souta but it takes two to tango and I still want Nao to take the lead this time ❤️‍🔥

ublep

Gripped my shirt and dropped to my knees in the elevator🫩 AINAAAA!!!!

gnabnahc9706

I feel this. I would love for Souta not to be the one chasing for once, especially since he needs to learn to take care of himself. Nao deserves to have his boundaries respected, and Souta deserves some honesty. If Nao changes his mind it should be up to him to communicate that.

EmilyEdenReads

Gosh darn, your art is so expressive. Emotions ooze out of the characters in your work more so than any other series I follow. Every week I find myself staring at your work, awash in the feelings of your characters.

Matthew Sharratt

The comments are cheering her on. I for one think they need to give him space. Yeah, clarity may be good but why does he always have to bare his soul and do the footwork? Nao could have explained. People may say that due to Nao's personality it may be hard. Even if he doesn't want to be in an intimate relationship but just friendship, he could try harder to explain. He gets his point across when he's upset and has his outbursts. It's on Nao too if he wants to continue the friendship as well. It takes two. I'm tired of Souta always laying out everything. To be honest, in reality many people would say count your losses and move on; cause if you go back for explanations, you can come across as desperate.

camyk W

Nao and Souta wouldn’t have come this far without Inoe and Keisuke

Inoue comin in spitting facts. That's the kind of thing you say to someone when you DO like them but you scared.

Yaya

Damn she charged right to him 💀 did she even end her convo right Keisuke 😂

ghibligirlie90

Yasssss QUEEN POP OFFFFFF, we need baby girl in the group drama

Destiny16

SAY IT INOUE!!!! Also just pointing out, Nao said he didn’t want things to change but they already have. Inevitably from Souta confessing things have changed so the boys really do just need to talk things through, get all emotional and that

flarebear

THATS SO TRUE, it was labeled as a half confession after all, maybe souta will take inoues advice and actually properly tell nao? to ig “finish” his confession and get a proper answer from nao 😭

jen

WAIT UR SO RIGHT

jen

This girl KNOWS SHIT

Elvis Zimmermann

This week has already been wild for me with my favourite YTrs Dan & Phil officially announcing they’re a couple (hi any phannies here 👋) but now one of my favourite webcomics has a v exciting update 🥹 I cannot wait to see where this goes and Souta’s reaction! I love Inoue taking the initiative and setting things clear for Souta ♡

adzie✨

Ok so if he’s going to the second party tonight, and nao just learned that the tickets were from him, is it possible that he’ll show up to the soccer party and hear souta left and get jealous/have a misunderstanding?? I’m like 6 months in the future pages-wise but that’s what I’m worried about 😅

Hudders

We love a determined, correct, problem-solving woman! You go, Inoue!

DearNeptune!

Oh I get it! "He's been running around a lot" because he ran to go find Nao, only for Nao to leave the concert, and now Souta is going to his house, but Nao is still looking for him, and then they'll run into each other in the middle and Nao will give him his sweater and walk him to his house. That's how cold hands will happen.

The Urge

YES INOUE IS COOKING!!! PAY ATTENTION SOUTA PLEASE!!!!🙏

ALICE

That’s why girls are the best. They just get it! Nao is so lucky to have her!

Hailey 🌙

I LOVE HER LESGO

Mega mind Meghan

LESGOOOOOOOOO! And that friends, is why Miyako is best girl. She knew what was up and told Souta what he needed to hear. Girl was not having any of that “He rejected me” bs and it shows! So for that, we cheer! WOOOOO I look forward to how Souta handles this! also why the ugly hat back :(

Kazemi / かぜみ

I found the exact wording. So I see where Aina is leading with this. In the Q&A from 2022 in the understand my ship template, Nao is is “waits for confession” and Souta is “Confesses first”-however we know he hasn’t fully confessed yet (Aina’s key words in the QA were that it was a half confession) soo. But I wonder how this leads to Nao guiding Souta away? Any theories?

Dani

Yes Nao rejected a romantic relationship with Souta, but he didn't necessarily reject Souta's feelings for him. There's a difference.

BiliousBecca

Inoue standing on business, she’s amazing!🥹

Sweetish

I don’t know why you guys are talking about context clues I don’t want to get my hopes up and get excited because remember guys Nao said I’m sorry and souta said Why are you sorry because things have been awkward between us or because you’re rejecting me? And Nao said I don’t know maybe both and that was before the whole I don’t want things to change thing. So idk if it’s a hidden context clue thing guys.

Nikki Crumbley

Thank god for inoue 😭😭

dolo

Inoue is speaking for all of us.

Otome Laundry

Agreed!

BiliousBecca

god bless inoue

rae of sunshine

Thank for for coming to Inoue's Ted Talk. 👏🏻 Souta will probably still feel reluctant to try anything with Nao, so we'll need Nao to make a move first.

Zarrytan

Inoue MVP ❤️

moonTEARs

She's saying what we've been saying! Bless Inoue, the voice of logic and reason!

Tink

Gosh, I’m so conflicted! I can totally see him tracking Nao down and finishing his confession, but I would also love to see Nao be the one to pursue Souta first since he has grown so much. No matter what happens I am here for it.

EmilyEdenReads

Okay detective fierce!

Goshdarnit

Yeah but I’m not in favor of Souta going back to him😭 I think it’s Nao’s turn to reach for him, like REALLY try reaching for him

wendalize

An all paid two weeks holiday trip to Jamaïca and the knighthood from King Charles himself for Inoue because she cooked, served and ate

YES INOUE!!! TELL HIM!!!! 👏🏼👏🏼

Leta

She been rejected by him, ahhh makes sense why she knows the difference.

Eric Hernandez

Thank you, Inoue! 🙏🏻

BiliousBecca

Inoue is such a great friend. The fact that she’s trying to open his eyes and letting him know in a way to not give up until everything is as clear as water. Avoiding Nao is only going to strain their friendship further causing things to change which is Nao’s actual concern. 🫢💖
