ささやくように恋を唄う 6

As expected things start getting a bit messy, definitely a lot of 嫌だ moments (and cute moments of course). I love the awkwardness and stumbling between Himari and Yori in this volume, it feels very realistic and organic. Also love the way they address things with each other, particularly Himari realizing she messed up, and then immediately trying to fix/address it. Even though Yori has trouble communicating, and overthinks things, the emotional maturity she displays about the whole thing is incredible too.

The only things I found a bit unrealistic were that after Hima mentions about the music video, there's no "maybe SS Girls could do this too"... Like it seems like it would be a natural suggestion to pop into her head, considering that the whole reason any of this is happening is so that SS Girls can win, and Shiho can stop being terrible to Aki and everyone. Also that at no point does Hima seem to be phased by Shiho being aggressively mean and provocative to her girlfriend (right in front of her, no less), beyond a general "I just want everyone to get along" sentiment.
