“Would you still love me if I were a worm?” — Mitsuki Koga probably
Ch. 76
Koga’s original fear back before they cleared up the boy/girl misunderstanding was that Aya, who she knew was romantically interested in “Onii-san”, would be disappointed if she knew of the real her. She's the gloomy kid from school AND a girl. Not the "guy" she heard Aya crush about... even if it was her interests and personally that was winning her over too.
*flashback*
Koga was flirting with her that whole time fully aware they were both girls. Which...fruity. She liked being close to Aya in that way.
Their falling out was mended with Radiohead and resetting things to a new beginning where she could risk being herself. And while Aya has seen more sides to her they still haven't talked about the mutual attraction from before though.
*flashback*
Aya has spent all vol 2 getting comfortable with the heart flutters around Koga even at school, but they've still never had that talk.
Aya is worried she's possibly annoying Koga by wanting to be so close all the time. She day dreams it being girlfriend close. Meanwhile Koga's original fear has been triggered again.
Back when this all started Koga was not trying to pick up girls as "Onii-san" or even to pass as a dude outside of the stray "boku" after it started. It came as a surprise to her when Aya set her sights on her and fell in love with the shop "guy" because of their shared interest, her appearance, AND mutual attraction.
At the moment it seems like a simple thing to her. It's because it's cool. She's just being herself. She's Joe's mini-me. And while it's been a firm, non-negotiable thing since she was little it also doesn't seem like something she's uncertain about at the moment either. "But I'm just me..." Self-esteem issues aside, she knows who she is.
Wanting to be enough (*cough* Kenough) for Aya when she is competing with an imagined "Onii-san" is a unique way of having a love triangle. She got an earful about Aya's feelings for Onii-san while in school... she knows Aya's type in detail from back then and hasn't gotten the updated Aya OS that includes all of her.
Oh, honey. (Aya is so cute in Koga!Vision.)
Koga feeling things is actually good, but she noped out of feelings for about six years and she's a teenager so this is now DRAMATIC. And possibly a medical episode. Or maybe love. Or she needs to drink some water.
Aya fending off her brother with the reverse face palm / phone grip. What a pro. It's interesting this "Onii-san" came up with her brother in frame. Her brothers both have to be reminded Koga is a girl and she's had to tell her mom that too. She is fine with Koga being a girl. She's not trying to pass Koga as a boy at home even if her family instinctively knows the place Koga is fitting in Aya's life is like one.
I wonder "who" Aya will meet when she picks Koga up for her transit pass and school. Is their dynamic going to be different?
Good morning. This might be my last message from the city of Rafah. The occupation [Israel] is carrying out crazy fire. Violent belts. As you’re hearing, there are helicopters. Planes and gunfire from the vehicles. There’s a complete invasion of the city.
We don’t know what is going on in Rafah. The place that the occupation [Israel] claimed to be safe. This is happening all of a sudden; the people didn’t go out. They didn’t do anything. More than thirty targets were hit in just minutes. People were asleep. We woke up to the bombing, to the shooting from the helicopters. It was horrifying. Unacceptable.
This might be my last message. Please relay it to the world.

Rafah was Palestinians’ very last safe zone. There is quite literally nowhere else left to go. And now it’s being bombed with airstrike after airstrike.
Ramadan is coming up and I can’t stress enough how much Palestinians have never got the chance to experience one normal Ramadan for 75years
You may not have been subjected to this, but as a person from an Arabic country, every Ramadan from every year there’s always headlines of Israeli iof soldiers or Israeli extremist settlers attacking Palestinians during Ramadan, especially Palestinian worshipers trying to pray in the al aqsa mosque
It’s happens almost every single year
Ramadan is suppoused to be Muslim people’s month of worship, of Baraka and it is very important to Muslim people
But Palestinians never ever experienced a normal Ramadan because Israel attacks them Viciously
Almost
Every
Single
Fucking
Year
And I will dare and say that Israel does it on purpose, it does it every Ramadan on purpose
And now, this year, with Ramadan being only a few weeks away, I doubt that they’ll have a normal Ramadan, not in the West Bank, and not in Gaza
All what I have to say here is that Israel will still follow this trend, something bad is gonna happen this Ramadan, keep an eye on Palestine during Ramadan
instead of exterminating rats, the state of New York should hire a rat trainer to round them all up and teach them to do odd jobs. they could clean up litter, scrub the manhole covers… run electrical wires. maybe do some plumbing
there should be a dedicated rat feeding station in every subway. if you pass out drunk on the bus a squadron of 300-400 purebred albino rats should carry you gently down the street back to your home. i know this may all seem rather infeasible—but if you hire me, the pied piper,
