Well, they are the main characters. No surprises.

Alright. Chapter 52 has been released!

Spoiler for Chapter 52:

Yuuto did decent in his exam so his efforts are not completely in vain. On the other hand Kazuki and Sayaka are still the best couple, and the other two still need work, but progress was made slightly.

That's one hurdle down for Yuuto. He's still got 2 to go. Let's hope that the main couple other than Kazuki and Sayaka can get major development. This could take awhile.

It is nice to see Yuuto slowly becoming more focused and maturing in tiny step by step. ^^

I am not really expecting a whole lot of development from the main couple, but the side couple scene with the cd was d'awww material for certain.

I know this series is pretty light hearted, but the addition of the Tina's boyfriend reeks of trouble. Seemed like he was really interesting in meeting up with her friends after seeing Kotone. There's so many ways that this whole thing can play out. Hopefully Kotone and Yuuto will grow from it quicker than they have been before.

[Kirito]

Wow. This series's thread really needs to get some light in here because its future seems pitchblack. Allow me to be the beacon of light that pull this out of the dark tunnel.

Ahem:

Spoiler for Chapter 59:

Awww~

A really sweet back story between Tina and her boyfriend Koutarou (Kou). Made me feel all tingly and happy aside. Also, they want to go on a triple date, and Yuuto still hasn't asked her yet. On another note: Kou went he heard the names Sayaka and Kotone... this looks like trouble.

2 Couples. Two routes completed. One on-going route that could go south if things go haywire.

I know I say this 400 times but seriously Yuuto get your confidence up and running already. Kotone is still distant but needs to give hints to Yuuto on how to make a move. I can understand them slowly improving at their own pace, but even so to me, it doesn't seem like we're still not getting anywhere. "Sighs" This could take awhile.

[Meat2004]

With those two it's almost like the blind leading the blind, or the meek leading the meek. He's making strides to get her attention, but he needs to do something drastic. Now that Kou is back in the picture drama is sure to be in the near future. He reminds me of the MC in Wagatsumi is my wife, but he can't cheat his way through it.

Side thought: With my recent dive into the romance mangas, I don't quite understand the whole notion of "I don't see him as a man."

[FlareKnight]

Well just found this series out of nowhere and am left at a tricky spot. I've gotten so into the Sayaka-Kazuki pairing that I don't even care about the main couple anymore .

Got to love the best friend routes in these sorts of situations. They can just go all out telling a really nice story knowing that the manga won't end just because they get together. Just need to keep the main couple slowly moving along.

But yeah, right after the story moved back to the main couple my response was just "oh right, these two."

[Meat2004]

I had forgotten about them myself due to focus on the friends. I don't think that's the best route to take in these stories, but if it has to happen to progress the plot then so be it. Besides for small interventions on their parts, they haven't done too much to push the main characters together.

well.... for now, it is safe to assume that Kou is the one who got bullied in Kotone and Sayaka's class because of his hobby
Kou might be a key for Kashiwagi to be more opened about her hobby though
anyway, Kou's story is similar with my life story... that past gave me sweet feeling in my heart

[Kirito]

Okay guys following this series (hopefully). I'm here to announce that chapter 60 of this series been scanlated and released!

Spoiler for Chapter 60:

- Yuuto was surprising able to get Kotone to go with the triple date plan, albeit a bit clumsy. Cute moment between them which was neat to see.
- Really cute Sayaka x Kazuki moment in this chapter
- Kou hears the names Kotone and Sayaka, but isn't sure it's the ones he knew. Seemed melancholic when he pointed out that either of them (especially Kotone) might not remember him.

A new chapter in a few short days. It was nice to see Yuuto take the initiative to try to get closer to Kotone this chapter. He's still a nervous wreck and clumsy at conveying his feelings, but oh well, it truly defines his character. I wonder how the amusement park date is going to play it. Looks like suspense and drama is on the horizon as we know it.

damn! I know it!!! Sayaka and Kazuki are the main couple in this manga!!!

[Kirito]

Okay guys. I have news about this series to report!

Ahem:

Spoiler for Chapter 61:

- Yuuto compliments Kotone on her appearance, but his obviously clumsy about it. Just him being him.
- A sudden and surprised reunion between Kotone, Sayaka, and Kou
- The triple date starts despite the awkwardness that Kou and Kotone is feeling
- Kotone is happy to see Kou and feels a bit apologetic, guilty, and uncomfortable

No drama this chapter but I feel like it'll lead to something big. I hope the date goes well without incident, but for now we can't say much. I just hope that we'll finally see some major romantic development between Kotone and Yuuto.

[~Yami~]

the expected drama didn't happen..

lol.. we just got trolled

[Kirito]

I wouldn't put down the drama card just yet. Even though nothing eventful happened, it's still clear that Kotone is still feeling awkward around Kou, and it could lead into some conflict between the two, and possible Tina as well.
