Speaking of the wait, I've been wondering something - would you happen to know why the tank releases in Japan for this seem so behind? Volume 4 was only released in Japan back in April, but digitally we're up to volume 7. I've been trying to buy the physical volumes to support the series, but it seems so strange to have such a big gulf between them.

I'm not sure, unfortunately.

I think you can spend some Ganma in-app currency on the next chapter which is unreleased, kinda like with webtoon. Maybe that's a way to support them, if there are no tankoubons to buy. Just don't look at them and spoil yourself :P

Gotcha, thanks for the heads up about Ganma! I'm trying to learn Japanese as it is, so it's probably just better to try to make my way through the Japanese tanks as a re-read than trying to read forward. I'll just pick up the volumes as they come.

What kind of toy actually burns and releases smoke!?

Ones that spew out water vapor when you suck it also exists. They're rechargable too

quoting page 2 on page 135... bold move

Important information, though. The visible smoke/vapor has always been the one thing confusing everyone in that chapter.

The past week has been an overdose of some amazing chapters, thanks to the translators.

I am positively excited for the yukata chapter (plz omichi don't interrupt them!!)

I just had a thought that this series might end with Hino telling Kogu that she will go to class every day, as long as she goes out with her.

Followed by a sequel where she promises to enter and graduate from a quality college if they get married?

Has Hino ever smiled?

Has Hino ever smiled?

You're just trying to get me to re-read it again so I can pay attention to this aspect!

Jokes aside, I think there were a few chapter-endings in which, naturally unbeknownst to Koguma, Hino did smile softly, even if just a tiny bit.

Went to do that myself... :D

Jokes aside, I think there were a few chapter-endings in which, naturally unbeknownst to Koguma, Hino did smile softly, even if just a tiny bit.

She's good at hiding even from the readers, often her reaction, especially when blushing, is mostly hidden by her hugging Koguma...

There are some very visible slight smiles in chapter 13, though, and a very lovely one in chapter 25 when they were trying to call each other by their first names. And following that, she spends almost all of chapter 26 smiling while chatting with Koguma on Line.

And that's as far as I bothered to check right now, should be enough.

Oh, such horrors you have had to endure ;D

Thanks for the quick writeup, though.

Nice. I enjoy it when kuuderes smile. Hino is a kuudere, right? Or at least close?

I was wrong. Hino is off this week, next chapter should be Sept 12...

Not the best way to start off the week, but it is what it is. Thanks for letting us know.

It can't be helped.

Chapter 85 is up, and its mega cute. Just so ya know, this is how I get scripts from Stan before I proofread them:

85 - 2
1. I don't know how to ask Koguma out!
2. What if she already had plans?
3. Kedo, she promised school close day that we do many things.
4. But... kedo...
5. I can't stop thinking about this...
6. I'll go running.

85 - 3
1. (sign) Public pool
2. Temporary Closure OwO
As of kyouha, the powol will be closed temporarily for equipment inspection.
We apowlowgize for the inconwenienve, and will try to open again as soon as possible.
Thank you for understanding UwU.
3. Sigh...
4. Never thought the pool would be closed.
5. It happens, I guess.

85 - 4
1. And here I was already wearing my mizugi underneath. (TL note: mizugi means swimsuit)
2. Waah!
3. Geez!
4. Even if there's nobody but us around!
5. It is still dame!
6. There's nothing wrong with it, is it? I mean, it's just mizugi.
7. Dame!
8. Hai!
9. Sigh. At least this time you remember to bring spare underwears.
10. Unlike last time, right?
11. Hahaha! Of course I...

2. Geez!
3. You're lucky kyou the pool's closed!
4. Yeah, haha!
5. Anyway, what do we do now?
6. Hmmm. I thought we were just going to the pool, so I didn't have anything else in mind...
7. It's atsui no matter where we go, though.
8. Ah, I know!

It's hot here too......like,super hot....

Hot

She ran, didn't she?

NSFW tag finally?

Wow Omichi

She picked up on Koguma being lewd somewhere real quick

Wow Omichi

Wing girl.

I kind of expect her to confront Hino about her obvious crush soon. Or talk to Kogu about why Hino wants to see her in a bathing suit.

Hino's brain is now proper fried, because hot (Koguma in a swimsuit) and also, hot (like, hot).
I guess Stan likes having some fun with the raw TL...

Edit: Btw, isn't the wording "ask Koguma out" rather specific? To me it pretty much always carries a romantic connotation, which would be kinda new.

Who in their right mind closes the pool right at the time they know it's about to be the busiest (i.e. summer break). Do your inspections before that...

Omichi... >_>

And Hino's not any better, stripping right there - I don't think she even had a swimsuit, unlike the other two... :D

Hino smelled the blood in the water...so to speak.
