do you think this is short like Fragtime or Qualia, or it's more like Again!! ?

there are 2 more chapters right? Chaosteam has no intention of continuing translating these series so hopefully /u/scanlations will take over :) cheers!

Only chapter 6 left, and the translation for it is already finished.

After ch6 we would catch up with YH, and it's back to waiting one chapter/month for release. Though I don't think there is a chapter next month since the tank is about to be released soon (and before tank release usually there would be an extra or the series would be completely absent).

If you like the work pls support the author and buy the tankoubon. It's also the best way to show that YH is heading in a right direction by investing in more long-running series with engaging plots and more than just simply romance. I'm personally buying this, TodoIto and Holmes. July seems to be a packed month with a lot of good releases: this + YagaKami 4 + Eclair 2.

sounds good. and yes there will be probably no new chapter in the next issue.

That's not really a "usually" thing. It sometimes happens, consistently for some series, but not all.

……what the hell is happening here? Time-travel? Memory-swap? …???

oh look... me after every chapter

I think it's both time slip and alternate realities, or "what-ifs?"

First time : she doesn't confess. They drift apart after graduation. A-chan makes kids with men and manipulates her into taking care of them.

Second time : she confesses. She goes out with A-chan for a while, but A-chan eventually cheats on her with a guy (ie, doesn't take their relationship seriously). New time slip : she's now going out with her co-worker and the kids don't exist.

Rinko gets to see the consequences of her choices with the time slip.

So, what's the solution to be happy?

Can someone point me to where or how to buy this, I really want to support stuff like this, and I totally agree with Sisyphus.

Damn my head hurts!!!!!!!!

I'm not in any rush to find out what's happening. I just want a good story to be told. I have a few theories, but I don't feel like typing all of that, at the moment. It seems like there might be some sort Yuri harem in the works. That'd be nice. I hope they become popular soon. Anyway, it's a good story and I pray it gets better.

By the way, it seems a lot of girls really love Rinko-chan, except the one she's in love with.

Seems like Yuri Butterfly Effect, but she can't control or doesn't know what triggers the jump into future/past. I think it might be linked to her thinking about future (maybe past) and the way she wants it to turn out or something.

I wonder what the significance of the phone call is? Akari referred to herself as Tachibana, her family name was originally Hanano. Perhaps Akari is moving in time alongside Rinko? Time appears to be moving "normally", she's just jumping between years. What will happen at the end of the month? Wonder where Hinata came from.

Long ago in a distant land, I, A-chan, the two-timing master of cheating, unleashed an unspeakable heartbreak.
But, a foolish childhood friend wielding the power of yuri, stepped forth to oppose me.
Before the final kiss was struck, I tore open a portal in time and flung her into the future, where my straightness is law.
Now, the fool seeks to return to the past, and undo the future that is A-chan!

My theory is that she's moving back and forth in time almost exactly 15 years. After she went back to the past, it moves forward at a normal pace for Rinko a FRUSTRATINGLY confusing and unspecified amount of time. Maybe six months or a year? Hell, at one point there, A-chan is hanging out with university students who look to be her classmates, despite being only 3 years older than Rinko who at the time was supposed to be in her second year of middle school? I'm super confused regarding the "main timeline".

Anyway! If she leaps back and forth in time at a rate of 15 years, give or take two or three days, then when she went back to be an older lady, she might actually be in her early 30's at this point. Maybe the kids have moved on with their lives in some way and Rinko got together with Shijou after they left.

This explanation reminds me far too strongly of Qualia the Purple, lol.

stop her from leaving entirely and trap her in her house with nowhere to go for 15 yrs

jk maybe stop her from feeling like she has to become a doctor and live up to others' expectations. stuff like that.

Well, she was never 12. Middle school in Japan starts in in the what would be 7th grade in the US. So at the beginning, she would have been at least 13, and by the time she time-skipped or whatever, she was 14, because it was right before graduation time and the beginning of the next school year.

The real question is what is wrong with the translation of the age gap between Rinko and A-Chan in the first place. It says they are three years apart, making them both 1st years in their respective grade ranges at the beginning. This is kind of confirmed when one of the teachers tells A-Chan "I'm expecting you to be at the top in senior high, as well." Then, somehow, at the end of Rinko's first year of middle school, A-Chan is GRADUATING? That shouldn't happen until Rinko's THIRD year of middle school! So, when she goes to visit her at college, she should be a first year high school girl, not a 2nd year middle school girl.

Looking at the way the artist draws Rinko at 14 and 29, it looks like they do a fairly decent job of not making her change height too much, which is good. Most 14 year-old girls are past puberty and have, at most, a few centimeters of growth left before they are done growing, if that. (Many are done developing in other ways as well, unless they gain or lose weight, have a child, etc... but it is almost unheard of for a mangaka to NOT have a girl in a story like this have larger breasts in her grown up form...)

In any event, at this point I have no clue where the story is headed. That is a good thing sometimes... I haven't decided if it is because this has well written plot twists or if it is just all over the place...

Japanese middle school starts at age 12.

Isn't she a girl? I mean look at the chest, maybe the author wants to make us believe that A-chan played around but it's all just a misunderstanding that Riko passed on to the little girls.

Erm, what does the gender of the other person have to do with anything here when we're talking about two girls dating to begin with? The only real relevant fact is that they're shown a lot more intimate than you'd be expecting for people not dating.
