Practice kissing, huh... it's a trope you don't find often... last time I saw it, it was in YuruYuri when Chinatsu asked Akari to be her practice partner (and refused to take "no" for an answer, lol).

It's way more common in Western stories than in Asian stories. And it's not a recent thing. I remember Casanova wrote in his Memoirs (an 18th-century book) that young unmarried girls would often practice kissing on each other as an introduction to heterosexual romance (taking turns to roleplay the "boy"). In fact, if he's to be believed, they would go even further than kissing, lol. But manga stories where two girls decide to practice kissing as a training game, just to be ready for their future (serious) romances, are exceedingly rare. I wonder why? Must be a question of ingrained cultural traits.

Maybe—I hardly have an encyclopedic knowledge of the yuri canon (even the ones I’ve read).

But if you also fold in all the examples of “just joking” and otherwise “didn’t count because reasons” kisses rather than just the overt “practice kissing” trope, my sense is that there are more than a few of those.

Is this going to be on the test? Then lets hope she can pass that exam ;).

A promising start.

By the way do we know on what basis this manga will be updating? Monthly? Bimonthly? Weekly? Irregularly? I want to know how often to hope.

It's serialized in Dengeki Daioh which is a monthly magazine. And if I recall correctly, Canno used to take a month off with the release of every new volume when she was working on Ano Ko ni Kiss to Shirayuri wo.

pg 23, "do you k now" -> "know"

Thank you. I'll fix that tonight !

I know its a triangle, but I would like it more if the couple was only the blond and the black hair

Eh, out of all things on Dynasty, polyamory is the only one that really isn't my cup of pee.

I'm now looking through all the tags to find the worst possible one. I'm sure everyone can agree Become Bread is the best one, though.

Edit: Aha! I've found the one tag everyone hates! At last, something for us all to agree on!

I may have missed something in the story or a post here about it, but has anyone discussed the chapter subtitle?

A search for the phrase “Looking for snow in June” doesn’t return any obvious Japanese aphorisms, (although evidently there are places in Japan where there’s snow in June).

Is the sense just that the MC’s quest to pass the exam is doomed (or at least highly unlikely), like “a snowball’s chance in hell”?

Actually no, it means that I'm an idiot.

The Japanese title is 六月の雪深し (Rokugatsu no Yuki Fukashi), which means "The June Snow is Deep"; I mistakenly read it as 六月の雪探し (Rokugatsu no Yuki Sagashi) because the two characters look the same except for their radical.

So I'll have to fix that.

Ah, so rather saying she was trying to do something very unlikely, it's saying that unlikely things are happening everywhere around. Good job noticing tho! Thank you so much for translating this!!! I'm so excited

Oh good spot - what do you think the odds are that keychain is a present from our MC?
