As I said in one of my previous posts, I’m not the biggest fan of Chisato (that being said, I don’t hate or dislike her, she’s just not my cup of tea character is all), but I feel like this comic is one of many factors that leads to Chisato being misunderstood at best and demonized at worst.

At first glance, it seems that Chisato is secretly insulting Maya in her head, pointing out flaws in her appearance such as her messy hair or eye bags. I thought that was the case at first, but I’m pretty sure Chisato’s not actually thinking these mean thoughts; Maya’s so insecure about her appearance that she just automatically assumes that everyone thinks she’s imperfect in terms of appearance, including Chisato. After all, Chisato was the one who suggested that Maya joined the band in the first place.

Overall though, I don’t like how the fanbase portrays Chisato as being meaner/colder than she actually is; I have a feeling most of it stems from her initial cynical nature in Pasupare’s first band story + her dismissive nature towards Kaoru, especially the latter.
