Earrings perhaps? They should be her giveaway. I will be bummed if he doesn't realize that it was her in the next chapter.

Supersky said:


what exactly happened? I see that Ichika disguised herself as Miku, but I don't understand the rest

shanimebib said:


She told Futarou that Ichika likes him and they suit each other. She pretty much took herself out of the race if there's not a good comeback.

Probably she was at her limits when Fuutarou revealed that lately he could tell Miku apart. So, maybe she is just testing him? I dunno. I am actually hurt because of her actions because I liked her.

Her popularity had already gone down considerably ever since she wanted to restrict Nino's honest and straightforward approach. Now she did something pretty underhanded disguising as Miku.

Supersky said:


Damn, that sucks. Where can you tell her popularity is going down though? Also what did she do specifically to Nino cuz I can't remember

shanimebib said:


Twitter rewteets/likes can be considered somewhat as indicators of popularity. Her popularity has really gone down since the manga official poll. I think the rise of Nino's popularity coupled with her way to detract Nino during the time in the onsen arc when Nino revealed that she found her special someone went against her. And now we have this.

I am interested to see where this goes, because Ichika's actions do nothing to help her cause in the long run, as the truth will eventually be revealed.

I am not 100% sure, but I don't think Fuutarou is fooled by her disguise. I think he tested her with the question about the news regarding her movie, as in the last chapter (if it is any indication), it is Yotsuba who mentions Ichika's movie, not Miku. I personally hope that this is the case, so it halts this type of development and gives us what is really needed: Ichika forced to confront herself and take things seriously.

Supersky said:


oh shit I forgot about that!!! He's definitely testing her at this point it's clear as day. You have to focus so much on the little details the author puts into the story

theory:
Now I have not doubt that the kiss girl was Ichika, and she has a dark side hidden...

In 55: Miku tells ichika that she plans to confess futarou is she gets the highest notes of the five.
In 58: Ichika mocks miku because she ruined her plan with an evil face.
In 59: Ichika fakes that she didnt know what she did to miku. but mikus reaction is not what she expected and she repents.

In 64: In the bath,Nino notices that Ichika has injured his ankle.

In 65: Ichika gets frustated that she can stop Ninos advances (like she did with Miku´s tests scores in chap 58).
And.... Nino tells Ichika that she is planing on kiss futarou soon.

Also... bus "fake Itsuki" is Ichika(not miku) cause she has an ankle slip,
and she gets in alert when (Nino´s Itsuki) approach futarou, also, she hugs him like Ichika did once some time ago.


In 66: Yotsuba remembers how Ichika used to be mean and taking thing from her sisters, Ichika returns
to this behaviour when she tooks the blanket from yotsuba as a joke.

In 68:Miku challeges Ichika again in the sauna, So Ichika dressed as Itsuki and tries to kiss futarou just like Nino told in her in (65),
she kisses him but she gets inmediatly sad for what she did to nino.

in 69: Ichika make his evil face when asking rent(lol), and.... futarou notice something familiar with Ichika´s lips.

in 74:Ichika makes a pause when she says she can be Nino(This is because she acted like nino when she kissed futarou)
Ichika gets frustrated that futarou could saw through Miku´s disguise, and she dresses As miku to block her advances again.
So.......Ichika dark´s side is finally revealed in her last panel.

Yeah just remembered it was Yotsuba who said that to him, not Miku so he is clearly testing who is pulling off that disguise.

Short_Circut said:
Damn Ichikas yandere face at the end. Inb4 this turns into Shuffle


Also the way I see it, it seems Ichika is probably out of the race. This whole obsession thing is probably gonna end with her realizing the trouble she's been causing and consequently she's either gonna drop out and support the others, or peruse in a more passive sense

But who knows

Nino, what the fuck?

Zyrph said:
It was Ichika, by the way.

Altay545 said:
I think that MC-kun did know that it was Ichika disguised as Miku as others have pointed out some evidence and also just adding in my own little theory here.

MC-kun has constantly been calling Ichika a liar, even when he congratulates her this chapter he says that now she's a full fledged liar, and at the end i think that Ichika was aware that MC-kun knew who she was, why ? cuz MC-kun was kind of confirming her identity with the "It's a lie right" i don't think he meant it as in "it's a lie that you Miku know that Ichika loves me" but probing if Ichika was fucking around like always, that's also why Ichika replies at the end with a big happy "It's not a lie"

So she confessed her love in her own way ? i think ? i hope actually .... cuz i really like her.

Still i know it's kind of underhanded but ... idk it seems planned and MC-kun was just boasting about how he was able to know who Miku was.

I really like Ichika and i'm sure it was either her or Miku who kissed him and i'm really fine with both.

But cmon ..... we all know that Nino is best fiery girl, am i right, or am i right folks?
