if someone more fluent would like to take over please by all means

cmiiw as always

[otaku_blue]

So Masaki is jealous of Sakura.

Hm...well Masaki is still very childish, and talented so I guess this is natural.

[randompasserby]

They're all still kids... minus Sayu and Reina and the high schools trio (arguably)
I think it's good that Masaki doesn't want to lose to her kouhai and in general this sentiment is shared by everyone who ever had a kouhai like all the Qkies felt toward 10kies but I'll leave the in depth-discussion for those more interested in the rivalry dynamics within the group

i'll just sit back and enjoy the show either way

[AyuHikaru]

Rivalries and competition within a group will make a group better in the long run, because it means the girls will try harder to get that spotlight. I'm not saying that their shouldn't be friendship and stuff, but there needs to be some rivalry there too. They should feel like their competing with each other and strive to work harder. BUT you want it to be a friendly competition, because if they hate each other then the group will just collapse

[Starra]

I don't think Masaki hates Sakura, though. It's probably just an age thing.

Girls tend to get jealous of each other pretty easily, too.

[otaku_blue]

That reminds me what ever happened to the sisterhood thing that RIho and Masaki had? I don't really see that anymore.

[Chibs]

^prolly cause maachan was ill

[kyuu]

more than a girls thing I feel like is when a child get jealous of their newborn sibling xD Masaki is the baby of the group after all and Sakura is the new girl you need to teach everything, so maybe seeing her sempais taking care of her is a bit hard.

Specially with Reina's graduation approching, probably Maachan would prefer to have her Tanasa-tan all for her xD

[Chibs]

I think Maachan was just jealous of Sakura getting lines, I dont think it has to do with Reina.
