Relationships may change, narrative threads may evolve, and the war that is love may erupt in differing forms.

But amongst all this change, Maki always suffers.

That is such a satisfying setup for further Warring of Love and Brains.

I'm surprised Shirogane didn't chirp in when Maki mentions that she's afraid people wouldn't like her real personality. "Hey, Kaguya felt that way too and look at her!"

That ending though. God this couple is the best :unsmith:

On a separate note Aka's other manga Oshi no ko is going places and I'm enjoying it a lot so far. Was planning to even make a thread for it before, you know, Lowtax happened again. Maybe if these dead forums manage to stay not dead for a while longer I'll go do that but for now I'm just mentioning it here instead.

「この一撃にかけるっ!」

That was a really good chapter! The conversation that Kaguya and Shirogane had was proper and concise. No flailing or fidgeting about or running away. I'm excited to see what happens when each of them give it their all.

Oshi No Ko is some wild stuff! This latest chapter though, that's a rough one. It's kind of weird to see Aka writing what's basically a normal manga, albeit a manga with a crazy premise.

I'm also excited to see Love is War move on to the proxy war stage.

Well, they've been dating for... crap, over a year of chapters now? (it's been since Christmas and now it's like late February-early March, so a couple of in-universe months IIRC?)

If the Ishigami love triangle isn't resolved before Valentine's day, it'll be resolved on Valentine's day.

Ishigami will know his choice by the end of Valentine's Day. We as readers will find out for certain on White Day.

It's when boys are obligated to give chocolates or other gifts to the girls that give them chocolate on Valentine's Day. If Ishigami gets chocolates + a confesson from both girls on V Day, the logical 'time to think it over and respond' response time would be White Day.

Just how many mistakes have you suffered on the way here?

An uncountable number, to be sure.
For the record, the custom of girls giving chocolate on Valentines Day and also the entire concept of White Day were made up wholesale by Japanese candy companies.

I'm trying to remember the chapter where Ishigami was telling Tsubame facts about cherry blossoms and when's the best time to see them bloom, which was in March iirc. And there was some misunderstanding about a decision that I can't recall the details of at the moment.

They have 8 or 9 months until the school year starts at Stanford. They have to fill the time with something.

9 months is enough time to make a baby. I'm surprised they aren't doing that given how thirsty they both are.

We're getting a break between Chapter 194 and 195, and then another break between Chapter 195 and 196. They sure don't make the potential free week given to them by the Olympics to go to waste (even if the Olympics are getting delayed).
