i read it too. How often do new chapters come out?

Alberio

I read it too, these two are so frustrating at times. gah.... It hasn't updated in awhile so I'd say its a monthly series...

i want to know the same thing.it's a little harsh to people to stay focused on the series when the chapters take so long to come out.but i understand...it's a rough job to translate so i keep on waiting.

Alberio
08-11-2007, 01:14 AM
Well a new chap is out and all I can say is FINALLY!!!! Took these two long enough.

Now.....:cookies: I feel like thia today lol

Hmm..is this manga any good? The story seems pretty generic and obvious =\

FINALLY!!! I've been waiting for this. I hate that the chapters take so long to come out.

Well, since it has 40+ pages it has to be a monthly release. Why would anyone release his/her manga monthly? That's 12 chapters a year, that' stupid.

Anyway, this was really relieving. Putting generic romance manga protagonists aside, how is it possible not to confess until now when you live with that girl under the same roof for 3 damn years? Noone can possibly be that slow...

I disagree.I know a few people that have dificulties to show their real feelings and that have the strength to hold their heart a large number of years

Spade
08-12-2007, 06:38 PM
I know but three years? And also living with that person multiplies that, so it's like 9 "normal" years. Noone can possibly be like THAT. (I know I wouldn't and I'm pretty slow myself...)

I hate Mugi. Took him 78 chapters to confess. I also hate Kazuki,
always giving bad advice (kinda like Suzuka's Yasunobu). I think
the characters should be more adult-like, like Ichigo 100%
and Suzuka. Hmmm, Parallel (short version) is soo much better.

Alberio
08-21-2007, 08:59 PM
Well I think Minami gives considerable advice at times, but Kazuki just adds in some comedy into things, as well as support Mugi through a lot. If you really think about it he is a good person, but requires a bit of an attitude adjustment at times.

well.... i think pastel is much more original than suzuka(love hina all over again,but i like it), and manaka still dont confess to aya either..
the propose of pastel is a child-like and cute romance and they do this very nicelly ( and i like that too)

so please Give me more chapters!!!!!!

gr1mmy
09-05-2007, 09:09 PM
OM doesn't scan!!

It's been stalled quite a bit hasn't it... Well, It's a great manga. Reminds me of Parallel. Btw, those who liked Pastel should read Parallel, it's by the same mangaka.

hum....
so whens the scan this month comin out? anybody have any clues ><

Rawr
09-16-2007, 09:27 PM
Wait, so you're telling me that it's going to take him around 80 chapters to confess to her? I just started to read this..and I thought he was going to confess early on >> Especially with this new guy appearing

deathzann29
10-02-2007, 01:30 AM
argh! Whats taking so long to scan the next chapter?!

gr1mmy
10-02-2007, 01:32 AM
I dono, but I want a new chapter too....

Rawr
10-02-2007, 01:49 AM
We need a new chapter! It just started getting interesting ><

gr1mmy
10-02-2007, 01:53 AM
Yep, it got put away as soon as the good part came along...

Kinzan
10-09-2007, 11:53 AM
This manga isn't that generic imo. Lets face it, reading manga can be predictable in general. Though Pastel is a very well done romance manga which I have found to be better than most. To be as critical as to say its predictable is effort enough to not enjoy the moments this manga has to offer. Putting that aside the development of the relationship is very well done. You'd be suprised to know most romance mangas start with a confession right off the bat, then 40 chapters later of boring dating and same ol same ol then we find ourselves with no climatic ending. Thats what pastel has to offer. A building up to a climax. Which on that note... why won't they update past chapter 80 =''( Been quite a while, but for those deciding to read this manga should. I can say its one of the best romance mangas you can read here.

Loo
10-09-2007, 03:29 PM
I don't know what other people think, but I think this manga is cute compared to others. Doesn't stress me out when it comes to misunderstandings and such (since it's indeed quite predictable), and I'm fine with that.

gr1mmy
10-09-2007, 08:15 PM
Have any of you people read Parallel? It's also by the same mangaka.

da_head
10-10-2007, 12:37 AM
yeah i read parrell. its nice :) kinda like a condensed version of pastel

gr1mmy
10-10-2007, 12:38 AM
We should start a new thread to talk about Parallel, one sec.

Ajmal
10-12-2007, 12:35 AM
pastel rulez, i've been reading manga on this site for so long, mostly romance manga, and i can't believe i didn't read Pastel first! I dunno if it's just me but dis manga made me cry 2 times so far. (I'm a guy too....)

gr1mmy
10-12-2007, 12:42 AM
Ah, don't worry XD

Need new scan...

gr1mmy
10-17-2007, 11:05 AM
New pastel Chapter!


AUGGGGH!!!

bubo
10-17-2007, 04:10 PM
Thanks for letting us know about the new chapter gr1mmy! I've been eagerly awaiting what happens after the events of 79 and 80. :) The upcoming chapter titles certainly look portentious, although it seems Mugi is still following his bad habits in 81.

gr1mmy
10-17-2007, 07:51 PM
Yep. That really annoys me. Change already!

Rawr
10-17-2007, 08:39 PM
Well, can't really expect him to change immediately, and I liked how they resolved to change slowly and just be themselves.

deathzann29
10-17-2007, 08:50 PM
Are there any other manga by the same mangaka as pastel and parallel?

gr1mmy
10-17-2007, 09:14 PM
No, I think those are the only two.

cookieness
10-18-2007, 06:39 PM
yes, definitely a nice manga..it can be predictable at times, but hell,
considering the amount of mangas and different stories that
have been made until now, a little plot similarity cannot be avoided..

and, uhm..i sense a twist or a tragic end to this manga..

with yuu's statement near the end of chapter 81..

(yuu, referring to her fainting..) '..these kind of things often happen..'
and mugi's non-oral bubble.. 'i wonder..'
it kinda implies that yuu is sick and there's more to that statement..

oh well, maybe a month or so before the next chapter release T___T

gr1mmy
10-18-2007, 07:46 PM
T________________T


Longer face...

Well, it has been rather different from most manga. It's just strangely similar to the mangaka's Parallel.

cookieness
10-19-2007, 04:13 PM
i think parallel was like the beta version of pastel..

gr1mmy
10-19-2007, 04:38 PM
No, that's not it. I guess the mangaka likes a country type theme?

Rajaion
10-20-2007, 03:52 AM
im enjoying it so far. just started reading it 3 days ago and im at chapter 81.... btw, how long have you guys been waiting for chapter 81

Alberio
10-20-2007, 03:58 AM
About a month or so...>_>

I think the author does like the country theme, if we had another manga we might be able to determine that.

cookieness may be right there, and that would seem kind of like Rumbling Hearts without the purple haired girl and a few other things though.

cookieness
10-20-2007, 06:31 AM
rumbling hearts? is that a manga? hmm..havent read that before..

gr1mmy
10-20-2007, 08:06 AM
It's anime/game only. Quite sad, though.

@Alberio: Well, the mangaka seems to write as slowly as the manga proceeds. It's at 17 volumes and ongoing still. It's only two volumes ahead of scanlation.

Spade
10-20-2007, 08:07 AM
You sure it's still ongoing? I heard that it ends with chapter 92.

gr1mmy
10-20-2007, 08:14 AM
http://www.mangaupdates.com/series.html?id=50

Iono, according to that site, it's still ongoing. Maybe just near the end.


Geeze, I woke up at 2:30 am.

cookieness
10-20-2007, 11:24 AM
only until chapter 92? well that's good news..it would have been
better if it ended sooner..the story is overstretched..quite
exhausting..

gr1mmy
10-20-2007, 10:09 PM
Actually, I don't remember the middle bulk that much...

cookieness
10-21-2007, 12:34 PM
yeah..there are some chapters that are very unsignificant..
the only redeeming factor of teh long stretch of chapters is
that mugi really gave yuu a reason to really love him because
it is very evident and well elaborated that mugi cared for yuu..

he even ditched five cute girls who took a liking to him just to
be with yuu..though mugi is comically perverted XD

unlike some manga's where the female lead takes a liking to
the male lead just because of lame reasons XD

Alberio
10-21-2007, 12:43 PM

@Alberio: Well, the mangaka seems to write as slowly as the manga proceeds. It's at 17 volumes and ongoing still. It's only two volumes ahead of scanlation.

Well just to let you know theres going to be an OVA released of Haruka's route...

But yeah, a lot of chapters didn't have much point other than showing his care. Still, they were pretty amusing along the way, whether or not someone may think it should've began from here or not is their own opinion if someone were to say it.

I'd like a look into Kazuki's relationship as well, since I haven't seen much other than him getting himself in trouble. Good thing Mugi doesn't do the same, but winds up making a fool of himself another way or just not paying attention to when Yuu'll get mad.

gr1mmy
10-21-2007, 01:24 PM
Kazuki is the person that got Mugi in trouble in the first place right?

I guess a chapter would be pretty interesting.

Alberio
10-21-2007, 01:27 PM
Yeah, and he is Minami's boyfriend which is kinda funny considering the two of them. I just want to know what would it be about, a special date in which he proves himself not to be a complete fool or what...Heck, we barely even see those two anymore.

gr1mmy
10-21-2007, 01:30 PM
Probably since it's all about Yuu and Mugi atm.

cookieness
10-21-2007, 10:59 PM
haha..yeah i agree..almost every trouble that mugi has got
into almost always involves kazuki giving him a questionable
advise XD then, mugi follows up with the 'wha...really?!'
expression..always ending in comical results :D

hmm..if you woul rate the 6 girls that got linked to mugi, from
1~6, who would be in the top to the bottom? 1 is highest..

-Yuu
-Minami
-Megumi
-Hinako
-teh daughter of the resturant owner wer mugi workd
-teh girl who faked being friend with yuu and seduced mugi

err..i 4got teh name of teh last 2 girls..

gr1mmy
10-21-2007, 11:16 PM
I really don't remember anything

Yuu
Hinako

... Not sure from this point

cookieness
10-22-2007, 12:21 PM
Yuu - ofcourse everybody knows who she is XD

Hinako - teh ex..who wants to be the ex ex, but remains teh ex :D

Minami - teh bestfriend of teh ex and mugi's secret admirer for years.
she ended up as kazuki's girlfriend.

Megumi - teh sempai who graduated a few chaps b4 who also
took a liking to mugi and secretly admired him for years.

gr1mmy
10-22-2007, 07:58 PM
Megumi only appeared in like three chapters...

cookieness
10-22-2007, 11:45 PM
still, she's better than some of those long shot characters
in other manga whose only appearance is accompanied
with a little panty flash..*ehem* ichigo 100% *ehem*

gr1mmy
10-22-2007, 11:47 PM
Eh, I guess. You could look at it that way.

Alberio
10-22-2007, 11:57 PM
I would like to see the resturant girl a bit more, she seemed nice after awhile, and hasn't had much of a chance to even hang out with Mugi as friends...I suppose her most affective moments were making Yuu jealous and slightly angry since he had an extra job(overworking himself)...

gr1mmy
10-22-2007, 11:58 PM
That was when the bath needed repairs right?

Alberio
10-23-2007, 12:01 AM
Yes, which I beleive also had to do with that they were running low on living expenses. I hope tht doesn't happen to Mugi again for a looooong time, and hopefully neither of them will be dumb enough to overuse a credit card neither.

gr1mmy
10-23-2007, 12:05 AM
I don't think they have credit cards...

Alberio
10-23-2007, 12:11 AM
No, they don't., or we didn't know about it...I was just talking about if they did, they could get in some serious a** debt, still they might be quite useful to Mugi for quick in and out shopping for the house, oh well, hand paying isn't that bad anyway if you got a good hand on your wallet, or in Mugi's case his pockets.

gr1mmy
10-23-2007, 12:12 AM
Mugi balances the credit and money though, so that means they have an account.

Alberio
10-23-2007, 12:14 AM
Yeah its just I'm not sure if he has a credit card, but thats what checks are for, on the go or at home going trough bills and the like.^^

gr1mmy
10-23-2007, 12:15 AM
A useless father.

That seems to be a cliche in many manga and anime.

Alberio
10-23-2007, 12:17 AM
Very much so...look at Karin, but Mugi is a good cook, can handle finaces, and can do home repairs all at the age of 16 and now older.

gr1mmy
10-23-2007, 12:18 AM
And then there's the character from Clannad, Penguin Revolution, I could go on and on.

cookieness
10-23-2007, 07:17 PM
guess there's so many useless guys/dads in japan then? :D

i dont think they have any credit card..its the countryside..
who needs a credit card in the countryside? XD

gr1mmy
10-23-2007, 07:47 PM
Only city people need credit cards.

cookieness
11-02-2007, 11:27 AM
huweee~! chapter 82 is out! :D

an average chapter..a dose of yuu's selfishness and mugi's foolishness XD its as if yuu doesnt care about mugi's feelings
while mugi only cares about yuu's mood T___T grrr..pisses me off!

Spade
11-02-2007, 12:24 PM
Maybe it's because of the long wait between chapters 80 and 81 but somehow I lost interest in this story. I'll probably finish it nonetheless but I forgot what I liked about the Manga while reading the new chapters recently...

gr1mmy
11-02-2007, 02:47 PM
I think this is a type of manga where you need to read it in large bulks.

Rawr
11-02-2007, 03:00 PM
Yeah, if you read it chapter by chapter it gets pretty boring, people find that they can't get into the story enough to actually enjoy it...
That being said, I liked chapter 82 because everything that happened in the later parts of the chapter were just so sweet and happy, meh I'm just going to stick with this manga ^^

gr1mmy
11-02-2007, 04:15 PM
I'm going to reread it now.

cookieness
11-20-2007, 09:39 PM
new chap! new chap! hurray~! XD

gr1mmy
11-24-2007, 02:21 PM
Meh, a little better.

Boring again, though.

Loo
11-24-2007, 02:48 PM
Well, at least we know their relationship is improving. Now all we need is a plot twist which will 'test their feelings for each other' and end with a happy ending. Let's see how predictable this manga really is...

gr1mmy
11-24-2007, 02:49 PM
It's so boring, it's predictable.

But, it could just, end...

Hopeless
12-25-2007, 11:22 AM
just finished reading this manga up to the latest just now... man i'm shocked to see this in the 8th thread page... does no one read this anymore ~_~" i found it actually good to read and wanted to discuss it... though it's not really finished yet so probably that's why people got tired of discussing it...

Mad_Scientist
01-06-2008, 04:35 PM
Hmm... I dont think its borng... sure u get irritated with Mugi because he is so stupid but thats what the writer wants to do... and I want to finish this chapter because I already started it and because I want to see how the school would react if they knew that Mugi and Yuu isnt related and are dating!!! :D

But I can see y u ppl lost interest in this manga its because of the repitition and the slow development of the plot isnt it??

Hopeless
01-18-2008, 12:58 PM
Up till what part have you read? from what you said, i'm guessing that you're around the middle part...

it's not actually repetitive, just looks like it because often misunderstandings between Mugi and Yuu are often the center of the plot of most chapters... it's probably people just got tired of waiting for the next scans...

ditto. i cant believe 666 satan ended like it did, seriously uncool...
i kinda just started on like chapter 60 or something and picked up from there. i didn't really care much for the art work when i fist saw it a couple months ago, but i've really grown to like it. and the story is cute, but it's funny enough to keep it from being bogged down.

Magnumutz
03-09-2008, 07:59 PM
we have to wait so long for the next xhapter.
mugi is really sad, not much in him that can be loved. yuu could have gotten a way better guy.

Neji2112
03-12-2008, 12:09 AM
well, i have to say, i'm not much different than Mugi personality wise. but our problem is that we dont really fit onto modern society too well, any we tend not to understand what to do or say in certain situations, so we do what we see as best. we may not be "cool" or extrememly good looking, but we make up for it with our personality. and if most girls (or guys) dont like it, it helps us differenciate those who are people that we can trust from those that we cant.
there's nothing wrong with us, it's just our personality type is severly misunderstood.

Oh come on guys. What's with the low self-esteem here? Modern society is overrated anyway, except for beer of course. And never say your not good looking. You just gotta find the one that thinks your hot. You ever seen guys you thought look funky with hot girls around. It's cause they got good self esteem and know how to work their good traits ;) Now repeat after me, "I'm sexy." :D

we'll i know i'm good looking, and i do look really good in some clothes, but my looks are very old fasioned. and yeah i do dispise most of the modern society, but hey i still gotta live in it.
"I'm Sexy and i know it!" XP good enough for ya? lol

Yeah, Yuu's one of my top 5 cutest characters.

beerisgood
03-18-2008, 04:27 AM
Well, I'm pretty sure everyone can agree that he's annoying and way to much of a child to be in a relationship with anyone. But, for some reason Yuu seems to like him and she's pretty much the only one doing anything to move the relationship along. This actually is the first time that I am hope the main character of a manga ends up alone and sad. I hope Yuu finds someone better and Mugi realizes that he's a b**ch.

Darkreaper70
03-18-2008, 04:29 AM
That won't happen. Ever. Want to know why? Because Mugi is the main character. >_>

What's wrong with Mugi? He is respecting her and looking out for her. >_> You people act like you can do much better but do any of you have girlfriends? I doubt it. If you do say you have one then chances are you are lying.

tears123
03-18-2008, 05:34 AM
What's with you and being so high on yourself? We're not internet geeks or anything like that. We are fully capable of getting a girlfriend, infact, I have one. Stop comparing manga to us, and we have our opinions and thoughts.

Well anyways, on topic, I hope this came out more often.

Well 2 things:
1 I'm sure plenty of these dudes here have girlfriends so stop trying to put my boys down like that.

2 Whenever Mugi gets to a point in the relationship where it can progress, Mugi hesitates and has like a million excuses running through his head. That's what they are, EXCUSES. The bottom line is that he hesitates because he's AFRAID. He fits a very classic psychological profile that Freud discovered. I believe he called it the HESITANT P**SY.

2 Whenever Mugi gets to a point in the relationship where it can progress, Mugi hesitates and has like a million excuses running through his head. That's what they are, EXCUSES. The bottom line is that he hesitates because he's AFRAID. He fits a very classic psychological profile that Freud discovered. I believe he called it the HESITANT P**SY.

I'm 100% sure they don't. Otherwise they would know how hard it is too keep a relationship going. You think that if you act like an ******* to girls they will like you? Pff open your eyes. You think that if you lead all the time in a relationship the girl won't leave you? Think again. With all your posts as to why Mugi sucks because he thinks highly of Yuu is the reason why I think you people don't have girlfriends. It's not easy having a relationship dumbasses.

So if you truly like a girl and she just suffered from a very bad tragedy like Yuu, you'd jump on the chance for a relationship RIGHT away? Then when she is finally coping after years of yearning and coping with that tragedy you will be aggressive on the said relationship and you think it will end nicely? Think again.

Last chapter was only a month ago and Dynasty Scans has several other series they also scanlate. Like DR said, patience, scanlators are not your slaves, scanlating is a hobby to them so other things will obviously be more important then getting the next chapter out. If you bug them too much, they'll tell you to sod off and might just stop scanlating completelly and then everyone will lose.

I thought the new chapter was alright. Some funny parts, cute parts, overall pretty good. I just read this manga all the way through not too long ago and I really enjoyed it. Though I agree with a lot that's being said....especially the Freud comment earlier lol....I think Mugi worded his confession to convey his feelings very well.

I started this manga, but then just got fed up with the repetitiveness of the relationship (Yuu's tsundereness didn't help either). It's not really this particular work at fault though; most shonen romance mangas are like this and that's why I usually don't bother reading them.

I did fast forward a bit in the chapters just to see if anything <i>ever</i> developed, and looks like it did. 'Bout time, Mugi!

How is she a tsundere? She's too timid at most..

She's definitely not a full-on tsundere, it's just that in the chapters I read it wasn't uncommon for her to beat on Mugi for things that weren't his fault. I dunno, I guess I was referring more to her moodiness too.

04-22-2008, 10:09 PM
Well it's obvious that in those chapters Mugi did deserve a beating. That still doesn't constitutes her as being tsundere.

Hmm... I just read it all earlier and i have to say even though it was quite exasperating to see Mugi missing so many oppurtunties when he did confess it was so well said i dont think it could have been said any better.

i really like Pastel and how the story revolves. :thumbup: living in a house alone with the girl you like :D i think its cool to experience it (although im 18, i really into it having a house with the girl i like :lol:).

This is kinda the reason why I prefer Parallel over Pastel. It actually ended >__<

Just asking, am I the only one who thinks that Kuki still likes Mugi?

http://www.onemanga.com/Pastel/72/33/

It struck me if she was really using this as an excuse to confess to him for real, but once she saw him still looking at Yuu like a lovelorn puppy, she decided to pull out before he rejected her

hey guys i know alot of people have bin saying the manga Parallel is a lot better then Pastel but in the trues i see it as their 2 completely different mangas that looks similar... i loved both of them well so far that is...

for Pastel my favorite Chapter of ALL times was 87 the one with the Kissing Scene =)

but i though he was going to use the ticket what i would hope for was to ask her to marry him but i guess my prediction was wrong =( even tho that would of made it really good but also really long...

also seeing how they are starting school up again i think its going to be really tuff for them to pass off not being a couple..,

my money is that they get found out soon in the next few chapters... also the list that Yuu is ranked 1 is going to cause more problems as i see it =(

Love both mangas of Pastel and Parallel both similar but completely different

well i just read parallel a few days ago and have just caught up on pastel, and personally, i prefer parallel just because, like cornpopsicle said, parallel actually ended. Like Pastel is getting pretty repetative, and i think the series would've been better if it ended with the two finally getting together. But its still a good manga and i dont plan on stopping just because its getting boring...(but it is)

@baka i also think that murakami still likes mugi, IMO, its probably because hes different from all the other boys who just want to get with her...

I quite like the pace which Pastel is going though... There's enough material to start writing fanfics... And I did.

Re: Kiku - Not to mention he's an earnest person. How many people who've tried to woo her are like that?

Chapter 89 was really sweet, in my opinion, especially when Tetsu was looking through Aoi's sketchbook... You could imagine all the feelings she put into drawing him...

well i cant really recall, but like the last few chapters have been like fillers until their 3rd year actually starts. and like the plot line has basically disappeared, really all thats left that is a problem regaurding mugi (the protagonist) is like keeping their relationship a secret, which i dont find very exciting. Unless like Yuu breaks up with and creates like a major twist :devil:, but i dont see that happening

Re: kiku - well like Mugi never really tried to "woo" her, she only came at him to ruin Yuu, but i think that she actually started to fall for him when like he went to her house and all

saying Yuu brings to mind like how the series is quite confusing sometimes when like Mugi says Yuu and You...i get confused sometimes because i like to picture in my mind them actually talking so it gets a bit confusing :confused:

I didn't mean that Mugi tried to woo her, I'm just saying that him being a very earnest person is what made him shine from the people who tried to woo her.

I'd quite like Hinako back though, it was great seeing the Mugi/Hinako moments. Chances are, we'll probably still see Hinako looking at Mugi with rabu-rabu eyes... Or maybe not, if she's found a boy whom she's serious about in Tokyo...

Which is why I pay more attention to reading Pastel more than any other manga.

With Hinako, im thinking that we'll see her again before the series is over, but i really doubt that she will hook up with anyone in tokyo.

It's weird, but like everybody that likes Mugi cant seem to forget about him...i mean doesnt Manami like still like him. I mean sure kazuki confessed and like they are together and all, but like manami hesitated on giving kazuki an answer to his confessing so she still kinda likes mugi...

Which is why I pay more attention to reading Pastel more than any other manga.

dont forget, Tsukasa likes mugi also, but she only breifly makes mention of it once. but i cant remember exactly where she says it though.

Baka-Writer
07-05-2008, 10:05 AM
Yea, Tsukasa likes Mugi, if only a bit, but she's willing to let go if Yuu desires him. She places her relationship with Yuu enough above him and very much wants the 2 of them to be happy...




i dont understand what you are trying to say

Because of the similarity between 'Yuu' and 'You', I always have to pay more attention when I'm reading Pastel... Or I'll end up reading
Kazuki(to Manami): I LOVE YOU
as
I LOVE YUU

about tsukasa liking mugi...i thought she was always just joking because like she likes to screw with everybody, so i dont think it was that serious of a liking. Except in this part, i kinda got the impression that she liked him.

It wasn't just that scene, actually, there were certain points in the story that gave me the idea that she liked him...

07-05-2008, 03:12 PM
i never really take what tsukasa takes seriously though, so everything that she has done to insist that she likes him have all seemed like jokes. Like Kiku said it was a joke as well, but you could kinda tell that she wasnt and still kinda likes him. But since Tsukasa screws with everybody, its hard to tell what her true intentions really are...

Baka-Writer
07-05-2008, 03:35 PM
Yea, I know there were those times when she was just messing with Mugi and guys, but there's still scenes that really makes me think she's liked him since then...

yeah, here's the one i was refering to earlier,( ch.56, pg.19 (http://www.onemanga.com/Pastel/56/19/)) it was when mugi blurted out that he liked Yuu to Tsukasa without realizing it, but i dunno someimes i think that she does like Mugi, but she's so cunning, it hard to tell...
and i think that every girl in the series likes/ liked mugi, except for Aoi and possibly Mako

oh, and i thought that the omake at the end of 68, was pretty nifty! though i think i remember there being another omake he did, i just cant seem to find it again, either that or i'm just really confused... lol its where a guy teaches his childhood friend,a tomboy, how to date a guy that asked her out, cuz she's not girly at all, and wanted advice.

yeah well even in that one link you mention, its not really an "i love you" type of thing. IMO, shes always playing with that stuff, so i dont really see Tsukasa as being a person that likes/liked mugi. And i agree with you on the fact that Aoi and Mako dont really like mugi. Sure Aoi hugs and kisses him and stuff but she does that to everybody, and Mako probably just wanted to see Yuu get jealous and what not :devil:

I though that omake was cute...that whole lollipop deal made it good. And i dont know w/e else you're talking about :confused:

Chapter 90's out (http://www.onemanga.com/Pastel/90/01/)! It's been forever... Many thanks to the people at Dynasty Scans.

And thank goodness it doesn't clash with my fic! For now, anyway...

A very I"S reminiscent chapter, but thank goodness Yuu rejected the offer. I was so afraid that Yuu would accept it, and then it'll be ongoing drama for a volume or 2. COme to think of it, wouldn't that mean that people will be hogging the gates of the school just to catch a glimpse of Yuu? Will Mugi and Yuu finally have to confess to everyone that they're together?

Oh, I'm soooo looking forward to the development now!
