Avocado flavored Fanta?

What abomination is this?

And the T/N note about using your own first-name to refer to yourself is incomplete. Talking about yourself in 3rd person is considered "cute" or "childish" in Japan. When she says "Kasumi likes it too", it's a conscious effort to sound like a young child.

Surely that's not necessarily true? I mean 'conscious effort'? If a character does it all the time - like say Akari in yuru yuri, I usually assume the character to BE childish in nature - not trying so seem like they are.

If this is a way young kids speak but they stop as they get older, then still speaking like that when most have stopped but you were still pretty young would to me indicate they are just maturing slower.

Obviously it CAN be used deliberately to sound cute - but that would be one off separate 'acts'.

I can't see someone talking like it all the time like Kasumi does here if it wasn't natural for them - it would get tiresome fast and you'd keep forgetting to do it.

In the following comics, she panics at one point and forgets to refer to herself in third person (at least per translator's notes).

That's pretty much how I was when I worked in retail. There's no quicker way to lose faith in humanity and become a soulless husk than working at a register.

Pretty much any customer-service job will do that to you. I got that from pulling cloakroom shifts in a museum for a few years.

I don't think it's a conscious effort so much as a habit. I mean, even people with a stutter can be shocked out of it, actually. Sometimes. I agree with the general "she's a somewhat childish personality." Akari definitely is. And Niko's got arrested development because she was deprived of a childhood.

I really like where this series is going. It's got a sweet original art style & the Yuri's level's are pretty strong. I really love it when a series give's us Yuri immediately within the first few chapter's. I've taken quite a liking to this.

HNNNNG indeed.

All I see is perfectly run-of-the-mill relationship jealousy. We're a long, long way from yandere territory.

Ah the poor cashier.........always got the bad side of yuri fluff :P

But who cares? Lol.

Do note the text on the last panel (The bit in the sky that is only translated in the margin): You two. . .Are too cute.

I'm pretty sure she does it deliberately, since she forgot to say it in third person in chapter 3

If I saw a "lover's quarrel" as cute as this one in reality I probably would act like cashier-san and let it go as far as I could.

Seriously this is too cute my heart is not ready like Kasumi would say ^^
