The translation on these latest chapters is pretty rough. Pointing that out in a note at the end doesn't make it better.

im honestly surprised that no one has pointed out the name change by now as well.

hopefully Yuri Project decides to finish their scanlation for this.

Just read the chap 0 and realize that the last page of chap 0 and the las page of the final chap are the same but with a different meaning.

Nice catch!!! That little details are soooooo awesome I love them!!!!

Thanks for uploading the prequel. I love it when a story is brought to full circle like that; makes it feel so satisfyingly complete.

Translator here.

I apologize if you guys didn't like the last few chapters. You are welcome to re-do them since I've already translated it.
I didn't even need to translate it as I could easily just read the Chinese raws and leave you guys in the dust. instead, I felt like YP was taking a long as f*** time in doing it so I decided to be nice and translate for everyone that might have been waiting on it.

Also, I will reiterate, if you think doing something like this is so easy, go ahead and make a fixed version to your taste. I already did the hard part of translating everything for you.

As for YP I have reached out to them when I released the chapter 14 but they never got back to me and then decided to release their version. Well, have fun waiting on their glacial pace.

Re-reading this. It's so beautiful. I'm crying.

Finally got around to reading this recently, since I'd been waiting to do it all in one piece.

What a stressful read. Every chapter I was waiting for the other shoe to drop, and not sure if I wanted to keep going and see someone getting hurt. But yeah, it was a great story in the end, after all that.

I think this manga is masterful. Everything, even the cringier parts of the ride fit together to form a wonderfully put together whole.

I liked it even better the second time, being able to knowingly focus on how very deep it goes without the stress of things taking a turn for the worst.

I only wish there was a flirty extra. Those girls deserve it after such intense character developpement

This is a good cute story that doesn't seem all that clichéd . Would be interesting if someone made this into a live action film. I could see it happening

Unfortunately it does have the same cliché as most stories.
Again I must wonder: Why does the writer give the black haired girl this completely nonsensical out there psychological problem that she needs to be saved from by others.
How I would love to read a story where that isn't the case and the black haired girl is normal, happy and confident.
At least Haruka was apparently happy and confident though and this didn't turn out into some melodramatic angsty drama.
But after all Misuzu and Haruka are a very cute couple and it was nice reading about them exploring each other and getting closer trough solving the mistakes they made in reading each other.
It felt very recognisable because it showed high school students being idiots and delinquents and not being nice people all the time without falling too much into arche type territory, apart from the whole damsel in distress thing of course.
But like so many Yuri stories it's such a crime that this ended after the mututal confession.
I wish Yuri mangaka would learn there are people who want to see the couple they had so much invested in spend some time flirting and dating and having a good time together after the dramatic arc ends.
All in all, this was one of the better Yuri stories I've read. I really like Haruka and Misuzu. I'm happy they got a happy ending.

Aaaaaah, the first time I read this it was ongoing and I had a long time gap between releases, I kept re-reading from the beginning every time it updated but it was always full of puzzles and I couldn't gasp all of it, so I didn't enjoy it as much as NOW. I'm reading it again after years HAS IT SERIOUSLY BEEN 5 YEARS!? time passes way too quick and now I can say this was pretty gorgeous, I loved all of it, real nice story and characters, just loved it.

Okay, this... made me feel things. Not just the fluffiness that good yuri always makes me feel- in fact, it was a bit weak on that front- but rather, how much I related to Moritani (Moriya?).
Like, I first discovered this series in 2014, but it wasn't done yet and I lost track of it pretty quickly. I think I rediscovered it again at some point, but once again completely forgot about it.
But then, I found it now, and it suddenly means a whole lot more to me than it did the first two times.
Mainly because of the scenes where Moritani gathers up all of her courage and determination and just DOES something that she's scared of doing. It reminds me a LOT of how I've been trying to deal with my own mental health lately. Like, she often scolds herself for coming up with excuses not to do things that she really wants to do because she's scared, and... I know that feeling. And I know how liberating it feels to finally throw the consequences to the wind and just DO IT. How it makes you feel less helpless and more like you really can live a normal life despite your poor mental health. It's hard, it's insanely hard, but so worth it. It makes me feel alive in ways that I haven't really felt since elementary school.
ALSO: Moritani can stop time for a whole three minutes. This means that she could TOTALLY kick Dio Brando's vampire ass. That makes this feel even more empowering.
BUT: I will admit, I kind of went, "Oh, come on," when she started losing her power. Because, like, they framed it as a scary thing that the audience should be worried about... but, like, it's super obvious that the reason she's losing it is because she's growing out of it. I like that she did grow out of it, but I don't like the way they tried to frame it as a scary thing even though the plot twist that it was actually a good thing was super predictable.

I didn't get the impression that it was framed as something the audience should be worried about. They framed it as something Moritani was worried about. Like you say, it was obvious to the reader that she was losing the power because she no longer needed it. But to her, she was losing the only thing in her life that gave her any sense of security.

This is one of those that I love going back to
The ending is still so powerful it brings happy tears to my eyes

What a lovely story. I really like Haruka, she gave me Mei and Touko vibes

This manga has been making me cry a lot! Really relatable and painful with moritani's experiences; but all's good now, I have one friend in university, along w/a couple of friendly classmates) and that's all that matters^^b

If this is going to be a full-length series, I feel like they're going to have to flesh out a lot of the side characters. There just isn't that much material.

Bad story, bad development and shit character= Murakami
Murakami is a crap of character...really, she's worst than Mei from Citrus...
I can't even image why they choose this story for become anime when there is a lot of GOOD stories out there
(Sorry for being direct, I had to said it)

Yeah, but your standards are so completely arbitrary that you don't even seem to consider 99% of actual yuri to even be yuri so I dunno why anyone would take your words at face value.

Wha, seriously, this is getting adapted? That's pretty cool. Kind of gives hope that some other completed stuff has a chance at getting turned into anime. ...Maybe one that rhymes with Hurl Bends.
I can kind of see why this one would, though. It'll make for a fairly complete 13 episode show without the need of a second season that may or may not happen.

I don't care if the people see in that way, I just wanted to share my opinion and that's all, even it's sucks, I like it to share it... And no I'm not an hater, I just judge what I read, and what I read it here was a bad story with bad development

You seem to just be here to shit all over the forums considering that whenever someone tries to actually discuss things with you, you just jump ship and run away instead of actually using forums to discuss things, as they were intended to be used. Between that and the fact you basically never have anything positive to say about any series it makes it pretty difficult to take anything you say seriously.

Yooo, CozyCreature12. I don't think people mind if you dislike certain (or most) things, but I think it would annoy people less if you were more tactful and respectful about it. Referring to stuff you don't like simply as "shit" kind of makes you seem like an unlikable and negative person, you know? Especially when it seems to be you find most things to be shit. I mean, I think Naruto is pretty crappy, but I wouldn't go on a Naruto subreddit and start referring to everything about it as shit. I tend to think people would think I'm a troll.

Your name is CozyCreature. Live up to the name and be a bit more cuddly, yeah?

Probably a movie? A TV series would only have about 4-5 episodes worth of content for a 1-1 adaptation, and I don't think there's much opportunity to pad that out. It... could be an OVA or ONA? But those are usually one-shots when they're not connected to a larger series these days, and there's too much material for that. Just about enough for a typical feature-length film, though. And movies are less likely to be used to advertise the source material, so that'd be less odd as well

...All that said, this isn't a manga I have especially fond memories of

Yeah, this exactly. I think I've seen only a handful of posts from them that weren't completely negative even in the context of series they were saying they liked. (Which is weird because you'd think someone who liked a series wouldn't seemingly have nothing but negative things to say about it.) It paints a really bad impression. I have no issues with someone disliking a given series but they should go about it differently and make sure they're giving the correct impression.
