Yeah it's been confirmed...
I feel bad about this. I mean, I always wish to see the girls more interested in education, so I'm proud of Konno and Ogawa wanting to continue their studies. But at the same time the thought of never hearing from them again is crushing. It's weird because they were never really my top favourites, except Konno who was one of my first favourites, even before Nacchi... But not recently. Either way, I feel kind of numb now, except for the unpleasant feeling on the bottom of my tummy... This is a really shocking piece of news, and in my opinion the most crushing grad because never before two MM members have graduated at the same time to leave H!P altogether (and I'm pretty sure continuing studies means leaving H!P, like happened with Maiha).
Shortly put, I'm not angry at Konno or Ogawa, but for all of their fans THIS SUCKS.
