^^ It's a fair argument, but a bit exagerated if you ask me. Most honorifics really don't tell us much we don't already know from the characters' personalities and interactions. The nuance lost by dropping them is usually negligeable − and when they are really important, there are always ways to translate them one way or another (except for "senpai", as I said). The first name/last name basis is much more significant overall. And keep in mind that Japanese is a language where the level of speech and dialect is marked everywhere, so much that you can sometimes have 10 characters and recognize each of them just by the way they talk. It's extremely tricky to convey all these nuances accurately, honorifics or not.

Sure, I don't have to drop them in a scanlation, but to me honorifics are still an integral part of the Japanese language specifically, so I guess I don't want my translations to look too much like a mishmash. But I can get why some are attached to them.

I have to agree with you on this. For a story like this especially it's going to be -san and -chan and that's going to get repetitive. Unless there's a joke specifically about dropping the honorifics then it's not going to matter.

Sometimes I think those little theaters have more progress than the romance of the actual series lol. Nonetheless a good update for me! :)

Wait for chapter 40. =3 It has our two dork at their cutest.

This too.

So they kissed right in front of Torayama's mom and she didn't mind....welp
Cute chapter anyway kinda interesting seeing how Ayaka talked about Yurine

Hey, hey, now. It was an accident. Mrs. Torayama is a mature human being and isn't going to point it out and laugh.

"I see that you've become much closer."--Mom really doesn't miss a trick, does she?

And has Shiramine's hair finally become coterminous with the universe? Those are the infinite reaches of deep space, right?

^^ If we'd had a shot on her face I'm pretty sure we would have seen this.

It's a pity we didn't see an actual kiss between them though. =[

The tentacles must spread phoromone or something.

Confessing in fron of her Mon lmao

Chapter 39 is out, and I'm running out of room for this goddamn chart.

Oh man, someone went out of their way to fully document the network of the mochiverse. That's amazing.

Chapter 39 is out, and I'm running out of room for this goddamn chart.

Every time a new chapter comes out that doesn't feature the central pair I think, "Dang! I really wish we'd just get back to Yurine and Ayaka, ffs!"

Then this chart reminds me that I have quite a bit of affection for many of these other characters/pairs, and I wouldn't mind seeing more of them. (Especially, at the moment and not in any particular order: Itsuki/Sawa; Chiharu/Izumi; Mizuki/Moe.)

So thanks for the chart.

^ You're welcome. :þ I really wish I could buy the physical volumes just to reread whatever arc I want at my leisure…

By the way, Canno has posted a quick manga about a tsundere werewolf on her Twitter… I wonder if I should translate it…

Ouch. >.> I should really try out this author someday. Everyone seems to praise her/him…

everyone is gay lmaoo

I feel like this series would make a good anime because of its (mainly) episodic structure. But that's just wishful thinking itsn't it...

Eeh, I don't know about that. If there was an anime, there'd probably be only one season, so either they'd have to drop the side couples, or they'd have to leave the main couple's arc unfinished… not a good thing either way. =[ Unless they reorganize everything.

We need to up the gay more, MORE!!!

the art improvement is spectacular but its freaking me out that I thought shiramine was hideri from blend s for a sec

Cute chapter and the art has improved a lot, but when will we get some AyakaxYurine chapters? Translator-san, do you know anything about this?

FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT (kiss kiss kiss kiss)

Chapter 40 is 100% AyaYuri.

^

It's a trap btw lmao

Chapter 40 is 100% AyaYuri.

Thank kami! And you of course :-D

This manga will get anime

This is the best manga I've read here.

^

…Huh. Kinda. XD

Chap 40 is up on Mangadex (and soon here, but I'm having technical difficulties with MEGA).

Miss Shiramine, I'm afraid you've contracted that troublesome disease called "love". And Mizuki has become shipmate no. 1. :þ

I can sort of relate to Ayaka's rationalization here. A mix of stubbornness and just not wanting her efforts to be all for nothing. It's interesting though, that her motivation has shifted from "beat Yurine to regain my pride" to "beat Yurine so that I can finally have a healthy relationship with her."
