Dahek, all these people posting suddenly. XD
It seems they got a mutual understanding on the matter and Miam-Miam got the OK to publish their english version.
My take is, it's not a French->English translation, but a double translation.
We didn't exactly get a "mutual understanding"… I asked them if they were okay with it on their site, but they never answered, so I just went ahead. It's the same reason Dynasty decided to upload our chapters in the end.
And yeah, I translate chapters from Japanese in both languages. But since it's not my mothertongue, my English translations are obviously not as good as my French ones. =[
Side couples kinda lose their charm when their parts are basically one-shots and never appear again. =/
Still, a few are there.
I think the first 3 volumes were to set up the 4 main couples (although Chiharu and Izumi are less a "couple" and more a boke and tsukkomi pair). Not sure what kind of part they will play in the future, but I don't think they will just disappear. =O Going by this…

…chapter 16 will be a Moe × Mizuki one.
Somebody please explain me where in the end did Ai's and Chiharu's senpai enter? If not her first wish, then to the university nearby, which Ai wanted? Or nor first wish, neither there?
According to the pre-chapter summaries, she went "to a faraway university", so I guess she did have her first wish. But yeah, it wasn't very clear…
I like the emphasis on Kurosawa's mindset but I wish we got to see a little more on Shiramine's side. I guess it just feels a bit unbalanced since Kurosawa is growing outwardly by doing all sorts of new things where Shiramine is growing inwardly and slowly accepts her feelings. I hope the opposite is next!
I know right… it's pretty ironic that Ayaka seems to become more of a loner than Yurine as it goes on. Buuut… that may be precisely a factor to make her accept Yurine, if that makes any sense?
I get it, but it took me awhile. She'd rather just end it now then watch the club die a slow death. I can actually sympathize with that. But the manga seemed to try and romanticize it a bit too much.
Every arc is like that honestly. They focus on things that are important to the characters but seem rather mundane from outside. At least the stakes here felt a bit higher than in volume 2 − it's something they spent 5 whole years bulding together after all. =O
