Lovely chapter, and I agree, it does look like HaruMatsu is finally happening. Harumin is going to make a decent woman out of that little gremlin.

But I'm still baffled about Matsuri's bro. Far as I can remember there was no indication about her having a bro, so I was expecting Harumin to show surprise at him but her lack of reaction comes off like she knew already of him.

yeah that cover has me all over the harumatsu ship, that kind of art is one reason why we all keep coming back to Saburouta. I feel she uses her cover art to give us insight into how charachters are with one another when we're not around.

Since when did Matsuri have a brother? His entire existence is all too sudden
Contrived drama still seems to be the main plot device. Can't believe I still can't let go of this manga

I don't even know why people want another ship so badly when you see the main pair' situation.

Ahaha that's true, I doubt we'll get really anywhere with these two, but I want to hope, I have like the tiniest sliver of hope.

Also Matsuri having a brother is surprising, but since she doesn't really talk about herself of course we'd assume she's probably an only child, I do like how Sabu draw him and the art overall this chapter, damn it's just so short like always, I guess that's the price we pay for pretty art.

go booby lady! get it on with Matsuri!

Matsuri and Harumin doesn't really has a chemistry but I ship it so hard and I actually don't know why

Bratty kid bro is p funny, I approve

Harumin is officially known as that Booby Lady. :D

Booby Lady. Wow. XD

Can't believe Matsuri has a little brother. But damn, Inori shares some of that bratiness with his big sis. Cute little fella.

So... once again we readers are left to form conjectures on how Matsuri suddenly has a baby bro AND WHY.

just as i was getting invested in nene/matsuri, saburouta puts me in a chokehold and shoves harumatsu back down my throat and into me again....not that im complaining...

Her parents had sex :v

Well, that's how straight allos do it.

I'm coming

I'm sure you will be

Even a 1000-degree knife couldn't cut the tension between these two this chapter. Can't wait to see how their conversation plays out next chapter. Something tells me there's going to be a lot of passive-aggressiveness, followed by actual aggressiveness, definitely some tears and hopefully a big fat hug at the end.

Matsuri's lil bro is super adorbs. It's such a nice change of pace to see her being a caring big sister towards him. Also, I think it makes sense we've never heard of him till now since she's never really disclosed her personal life to anyone before.

Also, Harumin knows Matsuri likes sweet things <3 (cue It's Not Like I Like You by Static-P)

Honestly Harumi had more chemistry with Himeko than Matzuri. If only Hime didn't fade away...

And I say this even if I'd ship Harumi with the sister. I mean, they'd even have the grandma that helps them avoid drama. What do you want more?

Haha, cute little bro. Don't leave him alone!

I thought babies came from storks :00

So... I took a look at the comments and there are readers saying that Harumin and Matsuri have zero/negative chemistry???

I'm guessing that there's a lot of stuff lost in translation or wasn't translated correctly to give off the same nuances as the original Japanese comic?

I don't usually read scans, I'm just here to compare the translation with the original. It's... translated fairly differently... some contexts were cut out to fit the conversation into the speech bubbles and others were lost in translation. And I think that might be why some readers seem to think there's no chemistry between them. There's alot of reading between the lines in Japanese even because when it comes to Matsuri and Harumin they are implied to have A LOT of interaction 'away from camera', like hanging out together (alone) and texting each other regularly. But in English with the context removed or translated wrongly, I see why most people say they have no chemistry.

In 30th June the last few panels where Harumin remembers Matsuri saying "all prez does is magically solve things from afar..." is actually a mistranslation. This scene is Harumin remembering Matsuri's words in that scene from June 21st "People who've only used magic to heal from a distance..." and is actually a jab at Harumin, and while it's not the whole reason, it ends up being one of the reasons it propelled her to be the one to visit Matsuri instead of leaving it to Yuzu and sitting on the sidelines as usual.

In other words, the first time Harumin has decided of her own will to get involved in something 'troublesome and Matsuri related'.

That makes a lot more sense.

Anyways, have some pointless trivia caught by Latin American fans on FB

Harumi bought the Dorayakis at the Saburota store :v

Harumin always looking good uwu

I surely didn't get that. Thanks for posting. Now it makes more sense.

It reminds me of vol 4 of Citrus, where the most important dialogue of the volume was inverted. And not just a bubble with a different nuance, the entire thing is the opposite of the official translation, making Mei seem to act at random. I'm still not sure about buying Citrus+, and this horrible translation surely doesn't help. I wonder how many other things they got wrong.
