Yay, another update!

But I can't help but notice that the bonus chapters appear out of order...

Edit: I see it's been fixed. Thank you, nameless chapter elf.

Lovely as usual. And still that friend who "collects" men still remains nameless.. guess I'll name her Fleabag lol

I don't think I've ever noticed before that she officially has no name.

Welcome to the "someone is going to get angry about that guy" waiting room. Please get your concessions and take a seat, the show will begin soon.

Takako is a good sister.

Can we just appreciate for a moment how masterfully the right half of the first page in this chapter establishes the relationship between Takako and Yuki in just three frames? This is the first time we see the guy (or I have already forgotten about him), yet by the time he opens his mouth for the first time in this chapter, we already know roughly who he is and what his relationship with Takako is.

I really like the way Nishi-sensei introduces and uses their male characters. They are there to establish the ladies' personalities or backstories, and to show how strong their relationship is to each other. Male characters in yuri don't need to exist just for unnecessary drama or conflicts! This chapter is a very good example!

Well said, blue_bee29. I agree.

And I can't tell you all how happy I am that this series continues to get updates. Many thanks to Nishi Uko-sensei and to Lililicious for the work in bringing it into being and bringing it here in translation.

Wholesome and sweet, I love it

Maybe the most touching yuri manga

I know right?? I don't see a lot of males in yuri stories without them inciting drama. If you look at stories like Their Story: Sun Jing's male bestie is really adorbs and supportive--we need more positive relationships like these, or at least neutral ones like Uko-sensei's male characters.

I remember Collectors was my first adult yuri maybe back in 2012, which was pretty rare back then since yuri has to be school girls. We have more OL and adult yuri recently, it's a great thing..! Though Collectors is not a popular title, it still remains as one of my favorites. Thank you Lililicious!

Agreed with everything said! The series is so wholesome and enjoyable.

When I read the comments after finishing a manga...

I know EXACTLY how that book searching feels and then the success in finding the book in a story.

Also, that ending of the chapter *tear

When I read the comments after finishing a manga...

Lol. I know what you mean!

Am glad we keep getting updates! Thank you!

How are these two so perfect together.

Also yay updates! Thank you kindly translators.

Such a wholesome manga. Thanks for the update!

GO LIVE TOGETHER ALREADY, YOU DORKS

Thank you, thank you, thank you for continuing translations on this. It's amazing every time.

GO LIVE TOGETHER ALREADY, YOU DORKS

. . . because with their combined incomes they could probably afford more square footage for storage each?
No, I mean, um.

i just found this series and i love so much about it
maybe if i pray hard enough another chapter will come out... :D
thank you to the translators who worked on all the previous chapters!!

I love this

Just found out that chapters 21-onward are up on MangaDex from Dragomir Scans. I wonder if we'll be able to upload here...

Edit: Upload request submitted. We'll see.

Their version isn't terrible, but Collectors relies so much on the dialogue to properly imply the context of a given situation that some of those chapters are really confusing the way they are now.

Even with the less than perfect dialogue/translations-- I'm very grateful for them on finishing the series! I've adored Shinobu and Takako for years since I first read this series on DS, and I'm so very happy for them on finally getting their happy "ending"! I absolutely love how the author always brings the chapters to end with their love for each other.
