But before that, let’s dive into a quick recap of the previous chapter and make sure we didn’t miss anything important and are up to date.
Skip and Loafer Chapter 52 Recap
The chapter begins with a short flashback of Mitsumi and Maharu. Maharu asks Mitsumi if she has already read the textbook despite it being so many pages. Mitsumi replies with a ‘yes’ and says that it was so much fun. We cut to the present, where Fumi informs Mitsumi that she came across Maharu while on her way to Mitsumi’s place. She decides to have a talk with Maharu and try to sort out her problem while the rest of the gang gets ready to depart for the beach.
Maharu says everyone shows favoritism to her sister. She complains that she wasn’t allowed to go to Tokyo for high school while Mitsumi was. Fumi asks her if she has a big reason to move there so urgently, to which she replies that she doesn’t need a big reason to go. She asks if she is not good enough since there is no one gushing over her for being a good student. Maharu tells her that that’s not it. She hates the thought of moving alone to a place where she knows nobody, while all her friends would move to a different high school together.
She explains that Mitsumi has always been good at studying and aimed for an advanced high school in Tokyo. She was hard-working and fully dedicated. When she finally got permission to move out, Fumi was upset with her for leaving her behind, but they eventually made up and kept being best friends even though they barely got to meet each other.
Everyone is having a fun time on the beach. Maharu has finally calmed down and thanks Mitsumi for the wallet. Shima meets Fumi and explains the situation. Fumi instantly finds out that he likes Mitsumi. The two had tried going out for a bit before, but it didn’t work out. Mitsumi told him she thinks he doesn’t like her that way. Fumi laughs at this and encourages him to confront his own feelings.
