I noticed all the onomatopoeia are carefully translated. It must have been a helluva work to clean and rewrite everything. Now I'm full of curiosity about the originals. FE "ba-dum ba-dum" "ba-thump ba-thump" and "throb throb" given the context are all heartbeats so should be all "doki doki" right? But I wonder about "fret fret" and "shake shake" that are very similar in context too... and "scrub scrub" "slide slide" and "floof floof" are I guess variants for the sound of cleaning skin... and I wonder if "plunk" is really the right onomatopoeia for something being slowly submerged in water?

Japanese manga's sound effects are not onomatopeii but action descriptors. Neither leaving them untouched nor translating them to english onomatopeii are likely solutions from a linguist's viewpoint. How does one put in english terms the difference between "doki, doki", "uki, uki" and "waku, waku"? All things considered, it's way clearer for japanese-impaired readers to omit the sound effects altogether and add a lot of action description to compensate, like this translation does.

I'm personally partial to how it's done in Murcielago (and maybe most YenPress translations?) where they keep the Japanese font, put the literal romanji next to it and add an english translation to the first instance of it.
It preserves the art of it, gives insight to how it's spoken and what it actually means. Only downside is that it can look a little cluttered if there's a whole bunch of SFX happening in one panel.

What I’m expecting next chapter: Asumi lies to Nanao about having work that night so she can go to her reservation, Nanao gets suspicious and follows her, sees her heading into a hotel with another girl (if the girl’s butch enough she might assume it’s a man), but because Asumi said she had work Nao will assume that she’s the prostitute.

If she’s feeling really protective, she might even try to intervene then and there, though that would resolve the misunderstanding immediately so i doubt it.

If this isn't exactly what happens I'll be shocked. It just seems like the only possibility.

She's probably going to assume "that horrible boyfriend of hers is forcing her to do sex work", run home, then spend a handful of chapters agonizing over how to ask Asumi about it and/or feel jealous and oops, gay panic!

Oh my god, I just thought of something even better!

Nao will be torn between her desire to “save” Asumi from sexwork and her desire to have sex with her herself (I just know she’s going to fantasize a lot about Asumi “working”). She won’t have the courage to confront her about face to face, and she’ll think that Asumi will probably just deny it if she did, so (maybe with the assistance of Senpai), she’ll try going to the brothel to catch her in the act and “rescue” her (definitely not to have sex with her, honest). But she can obviously never find her, no matter how reservations she makes, Asumi doesn’t actually work there after all, so she ends up in the same situation as her, calling a new escort every weekend while trying to find the girl she loves. She’s in too deep to quit now.

Or Nao and Asumi start booking threesomes together, solving Asumi's cash flow problem and Nanao's incipient jealousy.

So uh... We're no longer trying to find that girl? That friend or whatever that's apparently working as a prostitute? I'd be fine if she settled for Nanao tbh. I mean seeing Asumi use her experience as a sub to dom/lead another sub is adorable as hell.

Asumi knows Mai is working at the brothel, but she doesn't know which girl she is (because the online profiles of the brothel girls don't show their faces and don't reveal their real names). That's the reason in theory (a big IN THEORY here) why Asumi keeps spending money on prostitutes: every time she books a new one, there's a chance it will be Mai!

The fact that she already had a brothel reservation for the night of her last day working at Nanao's (as shown in page 35) should prove that, indeed, Asumi is still trying to find her childhood friend Mai. In theory.

In theory. XD

In reality, it's more like:
"Wow, Asumi, you're trying so hard to find Mai!"
"Mai? Mai who?"

I mean she does want to find Mai, but in the process Asumi has discovered that she really likes having sex with women like all the time.

On the other side a bunch of women are being exposed to Asumi's supernatural attractiveness. If a character has a single gay bone in their body they probably have a thing for Asumi.

I mean it's just the motivation behind her choice. Booking stuff to celebrate doesn't really sound like a very honest attempt at a search. Hence why I was wondering if we just forgot that part of the story and we're just following Asumi the heart-conquerer.

Hey, as I said, I'm fine both ways. This is incredibly sexy manga, even without any actual sex involved, so I'm game no matter what happens. I also enjoy any lady Asumi stumbles upon more than whatever her face was... The friend girl person of the forbidden past.

(I might be a little bit facetious with this and my last post. To some extent I get what the story is trying to do right now.)

After re-reading this again, I want not only to see Asumi become a prostitute, I want the senpai to be her first customer. If they don’t hook up it’d be such a shame

They kind of are, but not that short -- I think the average Japanese woman is 5'2" vs. 5'4" for American women. (157 and 162 cm)

At first I thought the H in B/W/H was the height and was very confused, but Height is above that line.

i also forgot that mai is in fact a character and also the reason asumi started this whole crusade, honestly the author could just pretend she never existed and it would probably take a while before anyone notices it

Asuni has already said that searching for Mai was silly pretext, she knows what she is doing is a terrible way of actually looking for a person

Wow, the author's family helped her with this manga...?
How, um, accepting.
I dunno, I can't imagine my parents looking at incredible lesbian porn I drew and going "haha nice! This is a great step forward for your career!!"

How about the reverse? Can you suppprt your child drawing awesome lesbian porn? A question for the ages.

Man I cant believe that they did not include Senpais employer in the character charts... (and also the top bottom roles of the non prostitute characters.)

But those are some spicy informations, although most of them were pretty obvious. Is Asumi then straight up bottom? Or is nao even more bottom?!

A pretext? No, searching for Mai was her main objective. It's just that along the way she got addicted to having sex with prostitutes and things kinda got derailed. No idea if the author will ever get things on track again or just forget about Mai entirely though.
