Such a cute chapter. Sincerely, I just loved to see how Futaba is happy with Touma. And Kou acting like a idiot near them made me laugh hard. XD

I was expecting a confession from him, but the moment of the shooting star was quite good. Looks like she really want to move on, but I'm feeling that something will happen in this school trip and probably he'll catch the chance to confess. I'll feel bad if it happen, because she will suffer so much... Oh crap, the drama will just increase from now on.

Can't wait for next month, because of the chapter and the announcement. I'm feeling that we'll have an anime of our beloved manga! <3

What a cute chapter c':

I'm curious, why were you expecting a confession that soon? It would be only natural for Kou to feel defeated before even thinking about stealing her back. You know, like feeling like he totally lost and that all hope is gone and stuff like that. And suddenly something happens (in this case school trip??) and he makes his move. That's what I think is most likely to happen.

The thumb war and Kou's face with the shooting star totally made my month o<-<

All I know is that at the end Touma will either go ballistc like Touji in "Peach girl" (Almost rape her when she decided to go after the other guy) or he will scream like a girl just like Chihaya on Princess Ver.1. Funny that in those other mangas everything went down in a trip and the girl was going out with the other guy (Not the main Guy).
Can't really blame Futaba if that happens, did she actually say "yes" on last chapter. It was more like Touma decided for her.

Q__Q I actually cried out of pity for Kou in this chapter.
Although I do know it is his fault for being sooo slow and complicating things, it just really felt bad for me because they liked each other yet Kou made it complicated for the both of them.

Well, we are just human so we make mistakes but ahh...he was too late and slow
:( Which led to where it is now.
There were times when I supported Touma x Futaba since I felt like Kou deserved to be jealous 'cause he's the one not being honest with himself.

But ahh..in the end I still prefer Kou. I cried for him because Futaba and him liked each other yet he let the opportunity slip. It sad he didn't realize soon.

But oh well, I'm still hoping that Kou can confess soon and that they end up with Futaba.

I Reaaaaallly can't wait for the next chapter!

Like the other person said, I did not like either when Futaba apologized to Narumi. She shouldn't have talked to her at all and rather ignore her. In the previous chapters Narumi caused a lot of drama, she did not deserve an apology.

It is obvious that soon enough Touma will realize that Futaba is forcing herself to be with him but I wonder how he will act. Will he accept it or act like an idiot?

Probably (painfully) accept it and let her go... his character is written rather maturly imo.

"Shake it off".

Those inner dialogues were catchy at least. Hoping more developments though soon. Also not a fan of Futaba much either anymore.

ooooh. I don't really know how to feel right now. The shooting star moment was really cute! Kou's acting was cute too
I'm kinda starting to like Futaba again. Because she is confused, but not really acting in a bad way. Not in my opinion. It was Kikuchi that made them date ._.
Sorry Kikuchi. I was really in love with you before, but I realize that I really like
Futabax Kou more
Maybe I'm being a little crazy, but the idea that Kikuchi and Narumi could be a couple in the future don't get out of my head. Like, the two rejected parts got together and become a couple hahaha

Yes, I agree. I dd not like the way she was acting in this chapter one bit, she was acting fake and vapid and like some stupid air head, not really like a girl in love either, but all her actions around Touma and in class seemed fake - talking too much, trying to act like she is happy. And Kou is doing the same thing, his laughter was completely fake, I was glad she realized that after seeing the shooting star. I was disappointed that Narumi appeared at all, I was hoping she would fade into the background. It's not that I dislike Touma it's just that I know her and Kou love each other more and I don't like her change in behavior, that outward appearance of being ok when she's not on the inside is just not healthy at all.

Ugh, this chapter has me so frustrated! Why can't they all just say what they're really thinking?! But I liked it nonetheless.

In my opinion, I don't think that Futaba is doing anything bad or uncalled for. Being with Touma makes her happy and at ease; it's not really better or worse than being with Kou. After all, they're completely different people. Also, Kou never explicitly stated his feelings for her. Instead, he kind of just jerked her around for an entire year. So when she was running at the end of the chapter, I think she was running from the feelings that she was trying to bury because she thinks that Kou is just messing with her again.

Ultimately, I hope that Futaba and Kou end up together! I feel bad for Touma, but if you read the artist's other works (Strobe Edge), he'll probably

I do think she's genuinely happy being with Touma. Little bit of evidences are:
1. Her head is full of Touma (well, his kiss for her that is. Although I think if I were a girl like her, I would be thinking like that too.)
2. She enjoys playing Thumb wrestling with him.
3. How she smiled at herself and looking at her thumb while on the train after she and Touma went their separate ways.

But again, being happy doesn't mean that she's in love with him. It's like I'm happy doing my homework (cuz I have to!! :P) but it's not like I LOVE my homework. So, Idk whether she's really in love with him or just feels at ease with him. About her talkativeness I understand that. I think that she's sooo happy she started to have that talking impulses. It's like me. When I am too happy, I would want to talk so much and realized I talked too much only when people pointed it out at me. I hope Touma will not misinterpret her happiness as fake though. Though if he do, he might let go of her..

The shooting star event. The part where Futaba strings all of Kou's act together and what it means. Even though she knows the meaning now, she doesn't want to be entangled in it again. Thus the inner thoughts 'Shake it off!!'' I guess she does managed to shake it off at that time..but for this trip it might be impossible.

Not to forget..Kou's face..soo ADORABLE~~

She's reaaly acting different. I thought it was my imagination XD

I can't wait to read next chapter. Why this trip is taking so long to happen?
After this chapter I realized that for Futaba, Kikuchi seems to be "right" because he makes it clear he likes her, and that was the problem with Kou. But I really hope some progress in the next chapter.
Futaba and Kou are perfect together -> shooting star moment *-*

I am happy that Touma and Futaba are now dating and all. Yes, they were super cute in this chapter. Don't get me wrong. I was always rooting for Touma...

But my heart betrayed me a little bit.

I really liked Kou in this chapter. I want him to suffer but he and Futaba... they just have this chemistry... and... it's perfect... and... ARGH. Why can't he be honest?! Why can't you steal her back!? WHY. ;___;

On the other hand, I didn't like Futaba in this chapter. If she's going out with Touma, then stop thinking about Kou. :P

Ditto! Plus his persistent attitude is really admirable and endearing, though this might be because of how Kou dealt with the whole rejecting-Futaba-because-of-Naruse thing -.-"

It makes me sad that there's still not progression in terms of Futaba and Kou but the fact that she didn't run back to him after seeing the shooting star is good. She's always been the one trying really hard for kou, so now it's his turn to try a little harder.

My bet is that Kou will have some kind of crisis on the Nagasaki trip due to the memories of his mother and Futaba's new relationship. Futaba will see he is hurting and try to comfort him and Touma will catch her doing it. He will either break up with her because he realizes how stupid he is for getting involved in a rebound relationship or he will give her an ultimatum (like he did when he forced her to answer his confession) and she will choose to break up with him.

But it could be something totally different...

Does anyone know how much longer the manga is supposed to run? It would be nice if the anime could cover the entire story instead of being a "middle of the manga" thing.

I won't have much pity for Touma, because I think he brought it on himself. He told her that he didn't care that she still had feelings for another guy, told her he would wait for her to make a decision about his confession, then forced the matter and told her he couldn't wait anymore. He practically forced her to accept his confession.

Narumi is the real villain here, but Touma isn't much better. He knowingly approached Futaba when she was vulnerable and used that to his advantage. If he ends up getting hurt, it is his own fault! I also blame Futaba's friends for not telling her what they knew. They knew that Kou had never had a "relationship" with Nanami, but kept that information from her, leaving her to think that he was in love with her and dating her. When she saw them together at the park, that was the tipping point. If she knew going in that Kou wasn't dating her, she might have noticed that they were not walking close to each other and holding hands like a couple, but were more distant. Maybe she would have approached him and asked him about it directly before going on her date with Touma?

Lots of poor decisions all around here...

Looking forward to the next chapter and the anime!

Kou and Futaba kissed 3/4 times :)
First by accident
Second Kou kissed Futaba by surprise
Third/fourth Kou kissed Futaba with her permission

Touma kissed Futaba by surprise and she don't even have a chance to say "no"
and Touma deceived her to get that first kiss.
Looking at her face when he kissed her second time,
looks like she don't liked it and she forced herself.

She started dating Touma, because she asked/forced her to be his girlfriend.

yes she was pretty much the indecisive girl... can't blame Shun-kun if he said she was a bitch... cause that was his friend(Touma), seeing her still talking to Kou in private...while she is already dating his friend .. it's her fault for someone seeing her that way...

Touma is really almost perfect. Still from everything it looks like he still can't make her forget her love for Kou. Literally if Kou confesses any moment right now I wouldn't be surprised if she accepts. Futaba is with Touma not because she loves him like how she loved/s Kou but because she's trying to forget Kou under a misunderstanding that he's with that one girl. This relationship with Touma might seem very happy but it just looks like she's trying to hide her pain to me. Not even Touma doing the perfect "Fall in Love with me" move every chance he's got can beat plot armor

Still Kou deserves any pain he feels right now. He should've chased her earlier he could've but he didn't.
