Break time

>>279663046
Sorry, I had to check past chapters if we have any of Hasse's members introduced, but so far I could only find a bit of little trivia that Asaka Tsuru is their bassist (she can play every part and she is in THREE LMC bands)

>>279663191
Now, time for the moment of truth...

>>279663224

>>279663242

Extra page, relationship charts

>>279663441
Tamaki is going to vote to Protocol and break the heart of Chihiro

Happy birthday Takami

BTW is so confusing to mistake Takami and Tamaki names

Let's see what Takami got as his birthday gifts!
https://x.com/FutsunoKeionbu/status/1933902372478357615

>Yonsu’s Birthday Gift: Screaming Chicken Toy
>Mizuo’s Birthday Gift: Electric Guitar String Pack
>Tono’s Birthday Gift: Strawberry Cheesecake Tart
>Taguchi’s Birthday Gift: The Immoral Gemeinschaft Official Fanbook
>Birthday Gifts from Various Girls: (Shopping bags with unknown contents)

I was curious about The Immoral Gemeinschaft/背徳のゲマインシャフト so I searched about it. It was first mentioned in chapter 35: "The Immoral Gemeinschaft is a popular anime" within the universe.

Obviously it's fictional, but after looking into it, Gemeinschaft is actually one of categories of social relationships used by sociologist Ferdinand Tönnies. The exact terms he used are Gemeinschaft and Gesellschaft (community and society).

>The Gesellschaft is associated with modern society and rational self-interest, which weakens the traditional bonds of family and local community that typify the Gemeinschaft.
>Max Weber, a founding figure in sociology, also wrote extensively about the relationship between Gemeinschaft and Gesellschaft. Weber wrote in direct response to Tönnies.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gemeinschaft_and_Gesellschaft

What does it have to do with Girl Meets Rock? Apparently someone noticed that Gemeinschaft is often mentioned in the Social Welfare Worker national exam. Which means Kuwahari-sensei had studied sociology and took the exam before. This is a blog post that dug up on it:

>While researching for this blog, I found an interview with Kuwahari‑sensei:
>“After graduating university, I worked as a company employee for a bit, quit, then did part‑time jobs while taking correspondence courses to obtain qualifications, worked elsewhere… I think I drifted around for a bit (laughs).”

So yeah, happy birthday Takami! Hope you like the gifts!

This is the chapter that mentioned The Immoral Gemeinschaft. Apparently, Max Weber is a popular character from that anime lol. Yaga has a hidden talent by the way, which is funny because I remember her about being fan of Update Hori the most.

>>279663191
Oh, this is the chapter that mentioned which bands Asaka is in (and what she plays). This girl is like a talented supervillain. I wonder what kind of cosplay is she doing and whether she's going to set up the LMC into trouble (she kind of did already, by informing the LMC-hater teacher about it). She is like the Joker, creating chaos for the sake of it.

>>279663191
Tanaka is mentionned in the popularity poll https://comick.io/comic/futsu-no-keionbu/xZ9t3xR8-chapter-60.6-en

>>279662985
Absolute kino
I love the rougher lines in the last panel, and the fact they gave her tsurime eyes and non-dot pupils just this one time

>>279665084
Oh, thanks! I've been looking for the results. I love this kind of trivia lol

>>279665337
BAKLAVA's drummer guy got dumped for the most random reason

>>279665337
Challenged to a rap battle in the street by some random stranger is so fucking rad

>>279662985
Even without the lyrics, this moment hits with the song playing
https://youtu.be/JBqxVX_LXvk?si=McRAg9e6mmtk9oqZ&t=72s
>>279664441
That’s actually really cool trivia

I knew she is the best girl

When will there be an anime announcement? Anime next year?

>>279667383
Hopefully they make an announcement by early next year, and maybe airing it in 2027 (if they start the production this year). Usually it takes two years from initial production (script writing, doing character designs and storyboarding) to the actual airdate.

Anytime now

based hater

>>279663242
Rin...

>>279663441
She knows Protocol was better but she's going to vote for Hatocchi anyways

>>279668023
She's doing the smug pepe pose

>>279668995
kek

>>279662985
>>279663005
I love how even though she can be a socially awkward goober, she still has the "fuck it we ball" mentality of a battle shonen MC

>>279662985
That's it Hatocchi, an artist would never make it if they don't have an ego and motivation to surpass their rivals.

What a dumb cliffhanger. Couldn’t the author just let us know who they voted for in one go? There’s no need to fucking drag this across multiple chapters. And I couldn’t care less about the 2nd year side characters.

A what point does Takami fall for Chihiro?

>>279672100
It's Mizuo or nothing

>>279673114
>There won't be a triangle over Ms. Plain Jane quirky chungus
okay

>>279667777
holy checked

>>279673577
Maybe you're right but I just don't see Takami being that character
