*incoherent fangirling*

NGL the kiss on page 11 kinda stung, even for me

God I love Mask and Kaoru’s dynamic so much. Somehow the author took two of the most different characters possible and intersected them in such a cool and refreshing way. I really hope they get together, or at least find each other a fixture in each of their lives.

Noooooooooo XDD NOT THE MANDY MEMEEEEEE My eyes hahahaha it was inevitable I guess lo/

Totes best thing. The chapter wasn't worth much, but the credits? Epic. (⁀ ᗢ⁀)

Mi cerebro dejó de funcionar cuando vi el título en español........

I have always been curious about this, so maybe someone can explain it for me.

Is there a reason the more ecchi aspects of the early chapters seemingly toned down later on?

Not saying it's bad, just honestly curious.

I thought "doton doton" sfx was just the train?

That’s what I thought, too. Just the sound of the train moving along the tracks.

The womanizing super beauty is also really good at reading people and understanding what to say in order to make them understand their own faults, Kaoru is and interesting character indeed

I definitely find their dynamic interesting.

Kaoru is easily the most psychologically abnormal member of the cast, as well as probably the most socially gifted and the keenest observer of people. Mayoi is pretty much the most full-fledged example of the classic "tormented artist" archetype, unhealthy obsessions and all, and also the one most capable and willing of no-selling Kaoru's charms (among those the latter has decided to exert them on natch).

Their mutual fascination - wide-open and tsunderish respectively - makes for some extremely interesting dynamics and interactions.

I have never understood the love Japan has for the word Amigo/a.
I don't mind I'm just curious.

Probably the publisher or the magazine.
Kishi is still very on board on ecchi works, so its not that they "out grew that".

She's really tall

She's really tall

Both sisters are very tall

Kaoru chapter... zzzzzzzz

Thanks for the translation anyway.

Based Kaoru/Mask chapter finally

One would think you’d find more Spanish in Japanese stuff since it uses the same vowels and is therefore easier to pronounce. Its probably just that English is more recognizable/widespread. I could say something similar about the spanglish I would hear in telenovelas.

Only Bleach really comes to mind. Cazador de la Bruja to a lesser extent.

Good lord that credits page had me in stitches.

Should have replaced the car with a train in the end credits

Finally someone to talk to Mayoi about her problems. God know Onibi wont do it. I think she is an alien. Also can Kaoru please please leave some character development for the useless duo. Seriously girl went from stuck up bitch to fun one-sama. I should hate that she has it so good now but I seriously cant.

So Kaoru just kisses a random girl she met at the station? Well, that's ... actually a bit weird, to be honest.

And "ドトン ドトン" (doton doton) is obviously the sound the train makes, so it doesn't make sense to translate it as "clamoring."

Not strange at all, all the chapters together, the admiration for each others and also they have their own cover art together in vol 10 just like all the other prominent canon pairs

Not like that sort of thing was anything unusual for her... (that first panel totally needs one of those classic JRPG levelup jingles btw)

Hey I’m not sure where to post this, but I have a scan request for one of Kishi’s works on his Pixiv. I don’t know where to go or who to ask, but does anybody know of any scan groups to get ahold of that has the time to translate?

Here’s the work https://www.pixiv.net/en/artworks/97211040
