It'll be the first three chapters (well, the first two are not actual chapters, but rather, bonus stories), and yes, should be this month.

You are my hero!

This may have come up before, haven't read through the comments wishing to avoid any and all spoilers, there was a line near the end of Vol.3 Ch.1 that I didn't understand the reference of and was wondering if anybody could enlighten me.

All in all, I was going to be spending a long time with her. A picture formed in my mind: Adachi, as the ****. But really, it was quite like her to want to exchange chocolates with a friend on Valentine's Day.

Also I think I may have said this before but even if so, thanks a lot for the .epub release. Such a nice format to have to read it.

Right. That was a super confusing line in the Japanese too, and honestly, I'm not fully sure what it's supposed to mean myself.

Heh, and she finds Adachi confusing sometimes. Ah well, guess that will remain a mystery.
Thanks for replying.

Get it done! Think about how you'll get a nice reward of some more AdaShima soon-ish!

However I am not responsible for any feels felt once that time comes....

My god did you really finish on that ? That 6-7 pages of Adachi just venting up her anger on Shimamura, just to Shimamura answering in her classic style was both painful and laughable. I can totally understand both the vent up of Adachi and the answer of Shima but at the same time both are bit incondesirate. Adachi had no real right to be mad at Shimamura like that when she is awkward most of the time she talk to Shimamura but then again, her world has been shattered and she don't know how to properly react. For Shimamura, i guess i could have the same reaction and honestly i don't blame her because i too will had think it's a pain that someone rent so much on me for something I don't really understand but then again it's seem that she didn't even try to understand what Adachi was talking about.
On to Tarumi, i can't blame her for doing this. She have found the one she was looking for and want to deepen her bond with her after so many years aparts. She might be too aggresive for her own good but then again Shimamura is really dense so.
Oh and i really like that fortuneteller person.

Holy fucking shit!!
You can't do this to me, i will sell my soul for a new chapter if i have to but please give me one more~

wat torture is diz

wat torture is diz

the best kind: a super suspenseful emotionally charged evil cliffhanger o' doom

Holy shit, my poor baby when she said "do you hate me like mom does?" That broke my heart even more than the chapter had already broken it, she needs a hug, they were both just enjoying the azure of the summer sky, then bam feelings. I'm really interested to see how Shimamura is going to process this and how they'll move on from this. Thanks so much to the team again for all the hard work you guys do.

Yuh... Amazing and tortuous.

I look forward to that phone call in the anime if it ever gets to that point.

Women trouble indeed, guessing she is the same person Adachi met.

Good lord, what a place to end at.

This scene really reminded me of the phone call scenes from Ef - A Tale of Memories. The one where we hear Miyako's voicemails, as she gets increasingly desperate... Still one of my favorite scenes of all time.

Holy fuck

Please get Adachi a therapist

Ah ha ha yes.
That phone call killed me

Shi-Shimamura! How could you...T-T I know that's just who you are but...that last part just about killed me. Is it just me though, or did her response seem brutal, even for her? I assume we're going to get her POV in the next chapter, but I suspect there was something else on her end leading up to this as well...Whatever happens next, the ball is now firmly in Shimamura's court. Adachi pretty much poured out her whole soul and next three lives in this last-ditch attempt at getting across to Shimamura and so has absolutely nothing left in her, so it's up to Shimamura now. How Shimamura chooses to proceed will have massive implications for both their relationship and herself. Because if she sticks with how she's always been up until this point, you can bet she'll take the "Okay...Not really sure what just happened, but whatever, that's her problem" approach and just allow the distance to grow between them because...why bother, right? But hey, considering that this series doesn't end at Volume 5 or 6, my bet's on Shimamura changing herself to keep/mend her relationship with Adachi. How she does so though will be an exciting thing to see.

Also, random aside, can we please give some love to Tarumi? Girl's just trying her darndest out there in the best way she knows how ><

Jokes aside, even though I think Adachi and Shimamura are precious together, I really do appreciate the interactions between Shimamura and Tarumi. The way that Shimamura just somehow gets rattled in her interactions with Tarumi, occasionally even breaking out of her perpetually detached self to make a seemingly uncharacteristic remark to me speaks volumes about Tarumi's ability to provoke a stronger reaction out of her. Sure, this may be due more to their shared history together than anything about Tarumi as an individual per se, but it's still a noteworthy feat that pretty much no one else has thus far been able to accomplish. In this respect, Tarumi to Shimamura kind of feels like what Shimamura is to Adachi--a catalyst for change.

This, coupled with Shimamura's often self-described "pleasant" feelings in her interactions with Tarumi, which have also led the former to choose to (!) leave her comfort zone on occasion, has led me to wonder whether they don't actually end up together--although honestly, I don't feel like that will be the case, at least not in the long run. Sigh...why do I always end up rooting for the best/childhood friend...(RIP Touko x Sayaka)

You know what, I hope the anime get to the phonecall scene because damn Adachi control your inner yandere

That was, amazingly torturous. I have never seen a rant that goes on for seven straight pages with no interruptions before. And I've also never seen the emotional turmoil of jealousy and insecurity portrayed with such vivid, heartrending colors. I felt the moment Shimamura's words cut through her fervor, turned her to ice, and I could feel that moment in my heart.

Good stuff.

Now to see what Shimamura does. I'm glad the novel continued staying true to both characters and their damning imperfections. Adachi has no sense of self-regulation and Shimamura just can't be bothered with anything bothersome. They're such huge jerks to each other right now. Not intentionally, but what a beautiful clash of human fallibility.
