I wondered for a moment if it wasn't a mistranslation of Coffee in katakana.

That art and that hat. Yes please.

This is giving me some "Carol" vibes... Maybe it's just me.

I don't believe I've heard of that one?

Carol is a movie, with Galadriel from LotR seducing a young french clerk girl.

She's not French, Rooney Mara is an American in it. Carol is well worth watching excellent. If this manga is anything like Carol then this should be awesome.

Doesnt she have a french name though ? Therese or something. I thought she was french, my bad. And yes the movie was lovely !

That's not a particularly "French" name tho unless them diacritics get involved...

When I read the plot of Carol, on Wikipedia, I'm not so sure she's not at least of French descent.

"Belivet" is a French sounding last name.

And there's the sentence, "Therese's boyfriend, Richard, wants her to go to France with him, hoping they will marry". Why would they go to France to marry if they are not French? Maybe from Louisiana? It's ambiguous.

At the same time, I gather that it's never mentioned if she's French or not in the original novel. Maybe it's implied. But for the movie, they ignored that bit and Rooney Mara didn't have to fake a French accent.

For clarification, the original uses the kanji 珈琲 which, surprisingly enough, is pronounced "kōhī". Given the time period, coffee would probably be a releatively new thing in Japan and I'm guessing the scanlators used the dutch word, "koffie", to represent its foreign novelty.

My, can I foster any hope that someday some age-gap soulmate of mine will translate all of this author's work?

There's nothing more moe than a face that doubles as a bottle opener.

"Queer feeling" indeed...

I'm pretty sure she says early on in the film that her surname is of Czech origin.

Yeah, that makes a lot of sense. The Dutch were more or less the first Europeans to have extensive contact with the Japanese.

Jesus Christ those lines are certainly not good for my heart. Phew.

I was actually going to ask about that line. I'm kind-of curious what it was translated from, because queer has two meanings and both could almost work there, but they're also both slightly off.

getting a bit attached aren't we? The authoress basically has her wrapped around her finger, she def knows Yuki is attracted to her. Will she act upon it is the question though? Sometimes it feels like she's just teasing or waiting for the other girl to make a move.

Oooo~ it’s getting more and more intense~
