I hope there is some follow-up with Aki before getting back to Aya and Mitsuki, as I speculated before this is also important for him to realize true normality and heroes are flawed.

I'm almost 100% sure there will be, look at him on page 4 sitting nearby Aya and Mitsuki listening and smiling.

It does not really make sense for a defendant, but the trial scenario made me immediately imagine Mitsuki's suit in the first panel in Phoenix Wright blue.

I really have no clue what to make of Shu-chan's reaction here.

Major disgust.

I have mixed feelings about this chapter. I'll admit that it gave a bit more time to address their relationship problems than I was expecting (which, admittedly, isn't saying much), but it was still a bit rushed, with them immediately accepting each other's apologies without talking things over.

At the risk of opening another can of worms, they didn't discuss what happened in Chapter 167 and whether it was consensual. Disregarding the debates about the severity of Mitsuki's actions, both of them clearly are thinking about that night in Chapter 168 and 169, so the issue hasn't been resolved.

I liked this chapter, but I can't help but think that it's a bit too comedic/light-hearted after all that build up.

It's almost like there was nothing non-con about it and it isn't an issue in either of their minds. I'm really tired of repeating myself on this, so just go back a couple pages, this conversation has already been had.

It's neverending.

Jealousy? Internalized homophobia? These are my two guesses based on the information we got about her.

I honestly think she just doesn't like her that way but has some general affection which disgusts her a bit (playfully). I don't think it'll go any serious route but I guess we'll see.

I'm with the public on this one.

Yippee it brings me joy once more

The cat is already out of the bag, Mitsuki cannot take it back.
The secondary question from Mistuski is basically a derivative, conscious or unconscious, since it is a key element of a vow of marriage. So the yes from Aya made it a successful proposal all but in name only.
As for the problems, they are no longer major problems.

I really have no clue what to make of Shu-chan's reaction here.

I saw a post on Reddit speculate that Shu learned Mitsuki misinterpreted that Shu/Aya had feelings for each other, and Shu was majorly disgusted to have unintentionally caused drama for them. Or perhaps disgusted that someone thought she liked Aya lol.

My baby lesbians turned towards each other with a genuine desire to understand one another and repair their relationship!! I am so proud of them. :,) and aya even set a hard boundary ugh the kids are alright!!

Same feeling as well. I feel a bit cheated in a way. As if all that angst was for nothing. But in itself, it was still a great chapter.

In a way the reactions in this thread are perfectly emblematic of this chapter's theme of getting in your own head and making smth out to be a much bigger deal for the other person that it actually ended up being xD funny that

is it possible to cry out of cuteness aggression

YES IT IS

Well the build-up in this case was Mitsuki's anxiety building up in near total isolation. Speaking from experience, it makes sense to me that the reality of the situation would deflate the build-up of that anxiety like a sad balloon. At least sometimes, it really is just that simple.

He is 100% gonna stick up for his sisters at school tomorrow.

Shu having a Tsundere moment in the evidence corner.

They also didn’t discuss the fact that Mitsuki sometimes leaves skid marks in the toilet, and Aya sometimes forgets her unwashed menstrual cup on the side of the tub. Oh wait, the author left these details out because they’re not important to the story. Got it.

yay yay more of these two
Riku's gonna come through after all

We got ourselves some character development for that boy
