Wait, how is any of this going to end then?
The battle of the bands was to get Shiho to confess why she left the band and now she did. It feels weird because it's likely Aki's band will win but where's the payoff there?

I'm just confused as a writer, even if I like Shiho committing and actually telling her feelings this chapter
