Karaoke was the last hint of plot points from the 2022 Q&A😭

Nathan

The story is devastating but Souta is devastatingly handsome also

feeeeee

My heart is aching 🫠😭💖

The Last Tree Star

I'm 36 years old. Should I be this invested in this story at this point? Probably not. Am I going to kick my feet like a prepubescent girl every time they have a moment. Absolutely.

Anako

I’m glad I read that in my car cuz I just lost my voice from screaming

Jettah Woolf

I can’t wait another weekkkkk😭😭😭😭

Ash

ALSO peep the fact that Nao’s cup was full all the way in the earlier panel😭 and he must have emptied it to have a reason to follow Souta

Emil

Communicate morons!

Casimir

Souta, sweet sweet boy, you haven’t been yourself in ages :( my heart!! Hurts!!

WillShipForFood🛥️=🍕

Great... Aw my heart breaks for him dude. As much as I want this resolved, I want NAO to be the one to try and fix it because Souta just needs that I think.

Veiwan

Ok genuinely what is going on let’s just sit down and have a nice chat guys

Sutton

Chat I am actually gonna crash out

TyTaco

OMGOMGOMG THEY'RE GOING TO TALK. omg I'm so invested it's ridiculous.

mafusphere

Cyber

PLEASE THIS IS UNBEARABLE

Rishi

Did Nao follow him?👀🥹

Rishi

Nao your drink was just full😭😭🤭

So'

Arghhh... Souta is so sad all the time ... It's concerning 😟... I hope they talk !

Hannah

why does nao look surprised like bro didn’t u literally follow him

Lou

MY SHAYLAS😓😓

Mo

Also! it doesn’t look like nao is surprised. it looks like he’s gearing up to say something.

Tink

Souta is just so done! I wonder how awkward this will get...I'm weirdly looking forward to it because they've got to talk at some point!!

Vai Russ

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD PLEASE TALK 😭😭😭

Ari Yez

Ay Nao como si no lo hubieras escuchado, por qué te sorprendes 😩😩

jami

if yall don’t kiss and make up soon so help me god

T Mcnugget

His drink was literally full when he left Nao you followed him 💀

Hermione

Oh lord… it is time. So once again, it’s the Karaokeeee scene and there are dead trees once more in the beginning! I saw people saying that Nao emptied his cup to be with Souta… WHICH IS SO CUTE! But then I was thinking, what the hell is Nao so surprised for because he looks like he walked upon Souta’a ghost or something. Then I tried to rationalize it and all I could come up with is that, Nao did indeed empty his cup to follow Souta but he’s surprised because he didn’t expect Souta to be going back to the karaoke room so soon. You can see Souta already filled his cup and make Keisuke’s tea and it looks like he was reaching it to bring it back to the room. So Nao is probably surprised for that reason??? Also, Keisuke has the tablet to choose songs if I’m correct? So what I think either Souta is singing next which means he might sing the song that he sang with Nao that was mentioned in the Illumination chapter. I believe it’s called Stand by Me but I don’t remember haha. Also I have to sayyyyy, Nao’s sweater looks SO COMFYYYYYYY! Also, happy birthday Takeo!!!

laralala

Can they like kiss a little pls then they can continue with their awkwarness or wtv

Lou

i can NOT wait another week i‘m actually getting psychosis PLSSSS😭

Milo

I just know when we clear up this misunderstanding I’m gonna enjoy it sm. Like they’re our characters especially following them and their story after all these years. Thank you Aina for creating and illustrating their story. It’s been wonderful seeing them grow ❤️

Wtfhp

I know they’re finally gonna get somewhere after this…. I just KNOW IT

Rice

Just make them hold has for a panel and I’ll be all set for the upcoming angsts 😫😭

DearNeptune!

It's time for the final romantic spoiler, team! We're getting another solid something here soon. Let's goooo!!!

Junai04

Dear Universe/Deity/Master of All/ Santa Claus, Please let time sweep past like hay bales in the desert 🏜. Let it flow by like a night after too much taco bell 🌮🔔. Let it fly by like quadratic equations 🧮 do for Souta... just let it be next Thursday already!!

Am

Not Nao mega-chugging his drink to make sure he was at the soda fountain at the same time as Souta

Emmy Lexus

Offering my nonexistent firstborn that we get the resolution we all want for our babies 🙏😭😂

Bryn E

I just wanted to say I have been loving the updates since the end of the amusement park update. I wasn’t sure how things would play out until then and was like “how is this gonna work out” and then that update happened and I have been 100% in the “nao understood the half-confession” camp since then. And I still don’t know exactly how things will play out but we just need to be patient with it (smth smth I trust aina’s vision). I love the anticipation being built and it’ll be so worth the wait to see how this arc fleshes out… anyways Ty for your service aina keep doing what you’re doing I see your vision (or even if you’re reading this thinking I’m way off base, at the very least I trust you with the writing bc your character work is so good and delicious and juicy and I just love how realistic and resonating the way youve fleshed out the different arcs so far)

laralala

so nao's cup was full, did he drink it all really fast just to have an excuse to follow souta 🧐

Nie

aina you're playing with our poor hearts this slow burn is killing me 😭 thanks for another update<3

Kazemi / かぜみ

First: Nao, chugging your drink and instantly running is not a good idea. Please consider avoiding such choices in the future. But I’m letting you off because your brain wanted Souta and brought you here. Second: KARAOKE !!KARAOKE !!! We’re gonna see the romantic progress trust (hopefully). And I’m glad Takeo is singing his heart out. Good for him. Third: Seeing as Nao went after Souta, I feel he’s yearning for any sort of interaction with him despite the awkwardness. This is probably his first chance all week. am rooting for my boy. and his boy. and his tummy because good lord his tummy is going thru it with that cup of juice.

Midnight Mandu

I dont know why but Soutas arm behind Keisuke on the couch is so cute! Nao that shoulda been you! Also Nao where did your drink go huuhhhh 👀

SnowWrite

Okay, interactionnnn is finally coming!!! in a week… lol the waiting is killing me 😭 it’s so good! 🥰

😴

AHHH i wanna see more😭😭

Angel Wolf

YOU CANNOT LEAVE ME LIKE THAT?!?!

DarkCosmic Jhin

This was a lvl of torture equal to what the CIA does 😭😭

lenawithapen

Any theories on what happens next???

ScuttlebuttScootScoot

This would be the perfect opportunity for them to talk! …. Which probably means they won’t…

Zaladric

Taaaaalk boys

Ranny

Can I take a second to mention Naos cup was full when they were sitting did he just chug it all 😭

Ivy

Omg the final hint, we’re at the end

ALICE

……. Aina. The update is broken. Why are they just staring at each other? We were SUPPOSED to see them talking in this update, right? Right??

CheesyPaninie

I have a theory that this is gonna lead to another argument and souta will run away and nao will go and chase after him!

EV

Please a longerrrrr update your killinggg meeee 😭

Elisse

Aina, you're killing me!!! 😆

MrMonochromatic

We hang from this cliff like birds on a wire 😭

minium

Nao.exe has stopped working.

Zarrytan

I can't stomach Souta's expressions because he just looks so miserable 😔 it's not in his style to be confrontational, so I'm hoping Nao went out there with a purpose

Siri

Okay another week we got this

River

AINA YOURE KILLING ME WITH THE SUSPENSE

Stacy Price

Ah I'm so excited but scared at the same time! 🥹

UDENZE_ANNIE

You can't leave me on this cliff

Lydia Hickling

aina, in this world of instant gratification you are teaching me patience again

Heidi

Seeing them in the same room *across* from each other made my stomach DROP. How did they choose seats? Who arrived first? Are they making accidental eye contact? Can others aside from Keisuke sense their vibe is off?

Heidi

I wonder if Nao had to work up the courage to follow Souta (it was def, 100% intentional) and the closer he got to Souta he started to lose his nerve and then Souta looks up at him and bam, little scared puppy eyes. Nao might not feel ready whether he understood the confession or thought it was something else. All he knows is he needs to reach out to Souta because he misses him. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Ava

IT'S SHOWDOWN TIME LET'S GOOOOOOOOOO

KawaiiCringe

This better be the angst payoff, pleeeaaaassseeee 😭😭😭

Norin

I'm not sure chugging your soft drink is the way to gain liquid courage, but it's worth a try, Nao

Max D

NAO FOR SURE CHUGGED HIS DRINK FOR THIS 😭😭😭😭

Raiena Haque

I need them to talk things out 🥀 I’m too impatient for ts 😔

Sarah

I love the community in this story, I read the comments every time 🩷 very excited for next week ✨✨

Marzipan ♡

GUYS THEY NEED TO TALK IM GOING TO BE DRAGGED BACK TO THE PADDED ROOM.

Iona

I love how Nao both clearly intentionally came here, but also is as lost as before about how to act

So'

By the way who's the person cheering on Takeo ? (

Woiso

Maybe Souta forgot the glass and Keisuke told Nao if he could refill his drink ? That's why he was so surprised ? He didn't really watch Souta Idk

Eric Hernandez

well that checks out everything the author had planned 2 years ago. Was a word web of random story bits that make sense now. We are now in uncharted territory😶

Laurenjedi

Remember when I said nothing would happen until Keisuke intervened? Keisuke has done this 😅

amy-may

the comments about nao chugging his drink have me cry laughing 😭 the comments every week are so fun to scroll through i love this community. the last few years i’ve been reading this comic have been the best—thursdays are my personal fav because of it and the comments/people make it even more enjoyable every week 🥹❤️

Nat

I’ve got two things to comment on. First, Nao’s glass was full before Souta left, so he really did drink it all in one go and then went after Souta. 🤔 Second, I thought of something. Ever since we found out about the karaoke spoiler, I’ve been picturing Nao (or Souta) singing a song to the other. But Keisuke has had so much focus this chapter that I just couldn’t help imagining him singing a song for them to act out or react to. Has anyone listened to The Little Mermaid’s “Kiss the Girl”? That song, but it’s “Kiss the Boy.” There’s even a line that says, “There, you see him, sitting there across the way 🎶.” I wish I could write fanfics…my imagination will have to do for now.

Rishi

Nao is acting surprised for whatttt😭😭😭 hahaha you chose to follow him!!!

JayJay

I hope he sings stand by me or something !! Something personal if they stay!

Mojo

Okay - I’m thinking they’ll talk, it’ll still be awkward and stilted. When one of them makes an exit/escapes (prolly souta), Keisuke will come looking for Souta/his tea and bump into who’s still there (nao) annnd✨boom✨ keisuke talks some sense into themmmm 😤😤😤

n0tba7m4n

Ahh I don’t want this to end ever

n0tba7m4n

Also random thought but the song, You’d Be Stars by Sydney Rose and Chloe Moriondo is so Nao to Souta I think? Let me know your guys opinions it’s not completely exact but it’s enough! 🙂

minium

bracing myself for the ‘i misunderstood that right’/‘i can’t accept your feelings’ talk. i just don’t want to see Souta cry 🫠

Hermione

Today… is INDEED… THE day

Heidi

I’m so grateful for IDCC days 😭 life can be hard and having a new chapter to look forward to every week keeps me grounded. Ty Aina! 🩷

Anako

This is gonna be the death of me

amy-may

anyone else just sat here rereading recent chapters and fully losing it like i’m tweaking tf out waiting for this next chapter 😭😭😭😭😭 HAS ME IN A CHOKEHOLD MAN

mafusphere

safe to say i’m scared for the next update

ublep

catto

☆

H_Abbott

JH

Okay, Nao, it’s your move…don’t mess this up.

Que

i've been dreaming of this moment for so many years that it still feels unreal that we're actually here 💔

Wiktoria Nikonowicz

How can I wait a whole week now that I know there's going to be a confrontation 😭😭😭

hades

KARAOKE JUST LIKE AINA FORETOLD YEARS AGO LETS FUCKING GOOO

Lizzy
