That went better than expected with the mangaka, which of course means the conflict comes from somewhere else.

Hopefully the seeds of romantic development have been planted in Miss Landlord's head, now all they have to do is grow...and mature...and blossom into something lewd...

I love how this chapter starts with a dogeza and ends with a dogeza

Uh oh, mom found the runaway idol daughter… is she gonna be dragged back into the showbiz?

Something like that, and then she's going to be "shown the error of her ways" and that "her daughter has her own life."

Is it just me or is the translation this chapter a little hard to follow? Like she asks is this why you been treating me so well cuz I have a pretty face? And then she answers that probably would have been better. Meaning if it was just about her pretty face that would be a better reason if that was the reason she was treating her so well? Well then what is the reason she's treating her so well?

This house is just full of dogeza

As glad1983 already said, this is the grandma, not mother. The car matches with the one drawn last chapter on page 13.

Yeah thats what I got from it. The reason why she treats her so well is simply because MC is a pushover and easily taken advantage of. The mangaka points out that her "bighearted stats is maxed out" and that she takes on other people's work before being asked. So MC prob just wishes she wasn't so giving and nice since it's gotten her into a lot of trouble (like this landlord situation).

Yeah, she's not even a sucker for good looks
She's just a plain sucker period

This turn of events is all I could have hoped and dreamed it would be. Delightful!

I hope Miyako's mom grandma doesn't turn out to be a total bitch or anything.

Is she her grandma or manager of her ex idol group. Anyway there is too much people in their house, just leave them alone. And the rest will come with time

I think she's her mother.

She had a very good relationship with her grandma, so I doubt she would kowtow to her.

Hello, translator here.

I made a couple changes, notably on page 17 and 19, so the implied meanings would be clearer, I hope.

That was actually amusing

Oh shit it's (grand)ma!

Aw, I liked "concubinage." But then, I'm the kind of person who likes looking up words, and while I knew what the term meant generally, I wasn't completely sure how it might fit this situation. So that was fun. But by definition people like me are not the target audience for translations, and your revision is fully justified.

"Concubinage" seems to be a holdover from the days when it was literally illegal for two persons to live together and have sex without (as they used to say) "the authority of law or of legal marriage." (I believe it's still on the books as a crime in some places, even though it was rarely enforced even back in the day.)

So the original term actually has the snarky connotation of transgression that Hatomori was going for, but I doubt if one English speaker in ten would get that.

Yeah. Most English natives I talked to didn't even know that word and were associating it with concubines and harem.

So I guessed it would be better to change it.

In French, it's actually a very commonly known legal term for "two people living together without being married" and it entails some things about taxes. There's no "harem" connotation, just a couple sharing a roof.

I thought it fitted the situation. But I didn't expect it was a term in disuse in English. I got caught back by my native language.

Thanks for your work on this one—I’m quite enjoying it.

I'm curious as to what japanese word gets translated as totes all the times, it's not すげー right?

It's めっちゃ (metcha).

It means extremely/very/totally and is in use among youths, first from Kansai, then it spread in the rest of Japan.

Totally => totes.

It's a marker of youth slang, like やべー / やばい

If that's mum, she must have gotten powerful granny's nsx. Unless it is granny?

Which is worse to have show up? Disapproving powerful parent who will demand they leave worthless unnatural you forever and come home and go to their room to wait for their omiyai, or Suddenly Introduced Love Triangle Drama Girl?

mean mom is going to become a cliche for yuri manga at some point ))

T/N: sorry for the "ya" everywhere, but both Matsuba-chan and Miyako are speaking a heavy Kansai dialect and that's the way I found to somewhat render it. Without it, you'd lose some of the flavor of the manga.
