Yet this chapter was the one that managed best to mix all of the series elements at once (sports, romance, teenage angst), if you ask me. T’was pretty neat.

Whew, the last two chaps were pretty intense for a mere pratice match. The author’s really showing his chops, there. surprised

And it ends with Chinatsu being adorable just like that.

Kouji Miura is a woman—as far as I know, she's currently the only female artist or writer in Weekly Shonen Jump.

Is she? Kouji sounds like a male name… Oh well, her chops it is then!

Yeah, finally Taiki gets a win. And a Pocari from Chinatsu, which is another win.

He won against that mohawk dude before. And he also wins against Kyo in practice, too.

Chapter 60: The Taiki-bowl continues. Hina manages to score quite a few points by stunning Taiki with a Disney princess makeover, but Chinatsu reverses the flow of the game by pressing her advantage and straight up asking Taiki to a cultural festival date. What will happen next?!

Hina tries and fails to get anything going, Chinatsu is aloof and ambiguous about her feelings despite leading Taiki on, Taiki continues pining after her like a lost puppy?

I assume Chinatsu is currently in the "not quite sure of my feelings" phase, maybe the date is her way of getting a clearer idea.

Hina doesn’t look so confident now, huh. tongue

[up][up] But WHAT IF Hina manages to kiss Taiki and Chinatsu gets jealous and kisses Taiki too?!

(My girlfriend’s been making me watch too many Koreanovelas lately)

    Chapter 61 
Nagisa is hot. "She's on the girl's basketball team." isn't really denying the "don't hit on my girl" comment.

God, I would never enjoy a band in such a cramp room, especially if I wanted it to be romantic.

That was unfair Chinatsu. Shouldn’t there be an understudy for situations like this?

Maybe if they were actual theatre club, not a classroom putting on just one play where they wanted everyone to have a job.

Chap 63… you know, I’m having flash-backs of 2 pages ago now.

will Hina take advantage of the "school play" buff to score a critical hit? Because come on, we already know who will be Snow White and who will be the Prince. evil grin

There you go. tongue

Still not sure about the "critical hit" part, though. Maybe Hina will be the one chickening out this time.

There’s a confetti ball waiting to fall to ensure that critical hit.

The more romcoms I read, the worse I feel for the designated losers. What did they ever do to the author?

…Okay, I didn’t know the author herself was posting in this thread. Can I have an autograph?

I was in another server where someone also predicted that exactly.

Honestly, I don't like it. It feels like a joke but played dead straight for an obligatory scene of making Chinatsu feel jealous without making Taiki any less single-mindedly devoted to her.

Gotta agree with that… It’s a pity because the previous page of Hina smiling was adorable.

That’s a problem with this series in general − it has beautiful presentation, but it still feels like the author has a shopping list of chiché romance scenes to include.
