I’m curious how many chapters ahead is the manga or are we caught up?

Man, I hope this hasn't been dropped.
The story is really good.
Hopefully we get some updates soon.

Yaay new chapter

great to see another chapter, really fun to see them grow closer together ever so slightly. I'm starting to find I really like the vibes of this story

Yay, one of my favorite series is back.
Thank you. I need more of these two.
The cohabitation is strong.

I like this one cause it combines two of my favorite things:

Cute girls and heavy drinking

Those two will be married soon

Cute but the racial slur title gave me whiplash

Cute but the racial slur title gave me whiplash

What ?

"She walks into my room in her underwear. [...] She walks into my room in her underwear."

I guess it bothers her so much that she says it twice

What ?

See the credits page. tl;dr Japan apparently remembers the book in question as a fun cautionary tale while most Western audiences aren't able to seperate the book from the controversial illustrations that often accompanied it.

They're roommates. Which means they're basically married

I think it had gone way past just being about the illustrations decades ago. In fact I think just the title itself has been considered a racial slur since at least as far back as the 60's.

they cute.

Yeah, it still gets referenced a lot in Japanese media. Danganronpa uses it for an execution in the first game.

I love the vibe of this chapter

My Ogre girls and alcohol have returned from war. Not much happened but I like how their domestic life is being shown, even that relatable feeling of horror when you realize someone is looking at what your writing.

Also, rather than make me want to drink, this manga constantly makes me hungry with all the sandwiches they keep showing.

Nobody in Japan knows that "Sambo" is an English slur, and it's thought of as simply being a foreign character's name like any other. Without the context of that word's English meaning or offensive illustrations, there were/are no racist undertones to the story Japanese children read.

Well Japan isn't exactly known as a bastion of racial sensitivity. After all I've heard they think nothing of dressing up in black face. I think it's probably because their a mostly a homogeneous culture so they really don't have to worry about that kind of stuff.

Amazing handholding scene

I just love the way everything is drawn, man.

Ahhh, they’re so cozy!!! That sort of intimacy is so cute! I’m such a sucker for the, “I’m going out and working hard on things I struggle with, it doesn’t go so well, snd I come home and get healed by my partner” stuff. Love this story.

That credit page lmao.
Pepe couldn't switch tabs fast enough.
I wonder who Hinata was refering to on the last page? Her old self?
Naori going into full wife mode was also nice.
Thanks for translating this.

Who is she addressing the "Serves you right" to? The 'someone somewhere'? Must be her family or something.
Also Naori looks absolutely tiny compared to Hinata in the cover art lol but not as much in the manga itself.

Top-shelf yuri.
