Forum › Adachi and Shimamura (Novel) discussion

It's honestly kind of interesting/surprising how comfortable Shimamura seems with the idea of physical intimacy already, tbh. Like, compared to how nervous she was about the idea of Adachi saying she loves her back in volume 1 or 2, she's surprisingly chill about the idea of kissing here.

This might be somewhat old news, but I found a really cool interview about both AdaShima and Bloom into You.

https://wolfhonyaku.wordpress.com/2019/11/11/column-special-feature-bloom-into-you-x-adachi-to-shimamura-a-conversation-with-nakatani-nio-iruma-hitoma-and-yuzuhara-moke-translation

They mention volume 8 but there aren't any spoilers.

This is great, thanks for sharing it. I'm up for interviews with some of my favorite authors of all time.

Edit: Have properly read it now, and this is fantastic. Iruma outright admitted he wrote the first volume without the future in mind and that he doesn't really remember it anymore, so it makes a lot of sense Shima and Adachi from volume 1 might be OOC in the grand picture.

Ahem.
I found myself squealing every time Shimamura casually dropped the 'girlfriend' word so I decided to start counting them whenever it was mentioned in this specific chapter. Complete with page numbers too.

(Page 76) +2, (Page 77) +1, (Page 80) +1, (Page 81) +2, (Page 90) +1, (Page 101) +2, (Page 102) +1, (Page 111) +1, (Page 116) +2, (Page 117) +1, (Page 126) +1 = total of 15 times.

That is all.

I have no faith in my ability to contribute anything substantial like a proper review so this is it. Yes.

Funny you should say that, because I'm pretty sure Shimamura herself has been squealing internally quite a bit; not to mention bringing it up every chance she gets, as you just showed.

She did monologue that she found it embarassing when Adachi kept asking her to confirm it, though that's normal.

She monologued that the whole confession and then subsequent assent to officially date was super embarrassing too. Twice. lol

A small question I had for sneik/shades: when making the pdfs, would it be a good idea to reverse the page order of the double page color illustrations?
Otherwise they end up looking like this.

I do hope the series goes on for a long time so we can get to the spicier parts of the relationship but well at least 1 volume per year would be nice, I know he kind of got busy also making the bloom into you Sayaka novels but it's just sad when the series go from 6 months a volume to a year to 2 etc a la overlord.

Just hope he doesn't get burned out with the series or is cancelled or throws a tantrum about entitled readers lol, denpa onna was cancelled right ?

No, Denpa Onna was completed. And with volume 9 announced we can assume he'll go back to a more regular schedule.

Can we? Do we know why the long break happened? Was he just working on other stuff that's finished now or something?

I don't know if a public confirmation has ever been said but I am guessing the break was to work on the Sayaka novels.
I guess more than assume, we can hope that he goes back to a more regular schedule, hopefully at least a volume a year.

for a sec I thought that was the volume 9 cover ^^;
really nice picture, thanks for sharing it!
I guess it's not supposed to be a moment in volume 7 ur 8 and rather just a regular illustration

I suppose the illustrator's comment may explain it a bit more, anyone with the ability to do so care to translate?

"Adachi and Shimamura splashing about in the garden. It was a tough choice not going with the ocean or even a pool, but considering Shimamura's personality and how she'd rather stay at home... Yeah. Also, Adachi's looking pretty calm despite Shimamura wearing a swimsuit in front of her, huh?"

Something like that.

My belated thanks to Sneikkimies and the rest of the team who bring more of this lovely story to us week after week.

So grateful there are Shimamura's out there for the world's Adachis, ha-ha. That is some possessiveness that I would not want to handle. Shimamura is kinder than she knows.

Looking forward to the next installment.
