I am still only halfay through the Azure chapter in the novel, but I take it things will get painlful before they get better huh?
...... does this count as spoiler here?

anyway, some awkard bits aside, I enjoyed this chapter and I feel like volume 2 has been an improvement over the first one so far.

Not goona lie, I thought for a second this was a new chapter of the novel, and was so excited to get out of angst hell, but then..

When I got to the part of the LN with the pages upon pages of ranting, I thought to myself "I wonder how they are going to manage to depict this in the manga? It's too important to just remove entirely. Man, I bet it's going to end up being Typesetter Hell."

This is going to be very difficult to adapt into manga or anime form, I guess a big part will be left out, if either happened.

When in doubt the best way to go about it is use the "exclusive" strengths of the different medium I think.

A manga adptation of the scene sounds a bit difficult, what I can imagine is mixing the amounts text with panels focusing on Adachi's expressions and movements, I can only imagine how the poor girl would look while in the middle of the whole thing, maybe mix in previous scenes that get referenced during it. Probably would have to take an entire chapter solely on that moment. The important thing would be too use the entire chapter for it regardless of hoe much of the original text is used, probably would cut it slightly and don't make the chapter entirely text based

For an anime adaptation of the scene most of the weight would go to her VA's performance, depending on how much and how fast she is able and willing to go about it they could kept the whole thing if they wanted, but more than likely better cut the repeating bits, I don't remember the names but some users have similar scenes in other animes in the novel's thread. but like similar to a manga one also focus on Adachi's body, movement and expressions through the whole thing,

I don't want to be that guy but this version has yet to be on that particular scene so it's kinda spoilish. If you want to talk about that you can go on the Novel thread where it happen but no here where we are just at the showdown between Adachi's mom and Shimamura at the sauna. Also if you want to speak of the novel here, just compare the scene of the manga with the one of the novel.

Ef. A tale of Memories.
I didn't like that anime but I don't like most anime so take that as you will.
Huge spoiler for that anime and this manga's light novel
You can just look up Ef A tale of Memories phone call on YouTube to find the scene

As for this chapter of the manga, I always thought this was one of the most interesting ones in the previous manga and the novel. Even more so after recent developments.

my bad, got ahead of myself. should I delete the post or would mark it as spoiler be enough?

thanks for the share of the name. Haven't seen that one personally, the one that I was remembering was one where this girl super rants at her friend for his "smartass" way of talking and never explaining shit of what he said and using terms she didn't understand, or something like that, haven't seen that one either but I've seen that scene

agree, I wonder when would Adachi's mom re-appear

Spoiler tag is enough since you just talk about a scene that had yet to happen.

Big oof. I really do want to see the expressions though, Shimamura's in particular. I can kind of imagine the sequence of them.

Yeah platonic, no emotion in this chapter and the meaningless final sentence, next.

It's not pointless. It refered directly back to something that happened in this chapter. Shima's insistance that Addachi's mom interact with her more wasn't enough to change their relationship.

Im not sure what you mean by no emotion. There were developments. Sillyness with Shima unable to do a pushup and Addach's very telling reactions to their interactions. Plus look at that smug Shima face!

I feel like is just some weird hate that people have with the new manga so they said void accusations like that, as if this one killed the previous manga... but it wasn't like that at all.

Also I love this one and I will looooooooooooove the anime.

Adachi on her way to repeating a year because of her overwhelming love

I mentioned to sneikk yesterday that I finally put my finger on what it was about the newer characters that I didnt like: the profiles with the suuuuuuper long nasal bridges and the kinda derp lips remind me of the gelfling puppets from the original Dark Crystal

Adachi on her way to repeating a year because of her overwhelming love

Nagafuji will accompany her

Adachi on her way to repeating a year because of her overwhelming love

I believe you can't repeat an year in Japanese schools, so she is covered. Might hurt her chances at getting into college, though.

I can never tell if shimamura knows and teases adachi on purpose or if she is oblivious to the obvious gay vibes. don't tell me if you read the novel tho lol

Being held back a year (留年) is a thing in Japanese high schools.

It is not very common, though, right? At least that is what I've been told by people from there. This article (point 4) also mentions it: https://jpninfo.com/52113

Yeah, apparently it's about 0.5% and expulsion is more likely.

Someone talking about their experience as though it's true for Japanese schools in general, especially point 2.

What, Small Adachi so cute!
Oh no FBI Wai-

Dont care what anyone says. I really like Moke's art.

I think Nagafuji needs especial education +_+)

Reading this chapter after reading the newest chapter of the novel is kind of awesome, I don't know why lol.
I also really love the art and especially how Adachi looks here, not that that her design was bad in the first manga or something, but still.
Great work!
