AYYYE IT GOT UPDATED!

Aya: Hey, you know, you smell a lot like the boy I like.
Mitsuki: Uh ...
A: You also sound a bit like him, and you have pretty similar eyes.
M: Well, about —
A: And now that I'm looking closer, you have holes for piercings in the same place as his piercings.
M: ...
A: I'm beginning to think it's not a boy that I like.

I feel like that last line should be
A: He's your brother isn't he!?
M: Eh!?

M: ... yes that's exactly right, my brother and I got piercings in the exact same places.
A: I knew it!
M: ... also, we both have a thing for idiots. (intense "it's a good thing you're cute" glare)
A: ... oookay? (utterly bewildered expression)

AYOOOOO ITS UPDATED

SHE DID THE DOKI, YA BETTER START QUESTIONING NOW GIRL

when will she figure it out HAHHAA
the mole is p obvious

Very close to returning the kabedon there. :D

And certainly starting to notice things.

Love is blind.

Which is why jerkface is starting to catch on.

She got her first doki doki from school Mitsuki :0 This should get even more interesting now.

Are DJs ever “hunky”?

All the ones I’ve ever seen were wiry and a little weird (mostly in a good way).

The only way for the readers to get the actual "nuances" would be to learn the language or abuse translation notes.

I'm not certain by what you mean by, "abuse translator notes".

If a word-for-word translation can not bring forth the depth of meaning beyond the literal words, providing clarifying notation is the obligation of the translator and their purpose. A translator does not simply replace words, they transfer meaning exactly to or as honestly and deliberately close to the exact meaning of the original source. If misunderstanding is possible, especially egregious misunderstanding, the translator is obligated to provide notation.

If clarifying notation is needed to bring across meaning then that it also the job of a translator. If not an equally deep explanation, then at the very least a source for readers to follow up on.

If a translator deliberately or incompetently or through general human-error withholds meaning, they are not translating. They are misrepresenting, no matter how inadvertently. They may be providing disinformation, and could potentially be plagiarizing or mutilating the work of another.

Giving exact meaning or meaning as honestly and deliberately close to exact meaning, and providing clarifying notation when and where necessary, is to respect the work, author, nuances, culture and etc... of the original.

Sooo, we are heading into the summer vacation arc?! Means we probably won’t get more school Mitsuki and more music shop part-timer Mitsuki! And will Jerkface be intervening during that summer vacation arc?

I think Aya might be pretty close to realizing now. Maybe.
Love that she nearly kabedon’d Mitsuki out of shear excitement over her special interest. The body knows what it wants before the brain does.

Many thanks for for such quick translation of this story. It really makes my Sunday.

...I'm starting to think the dude won't have to do squat at this rate.

oof that was a close call she almost got recognized @_@

YEAAAAAAAH! Aereosmith! we got another hahaha, I don't know which song... Maybe Crazy or I don't want a miss a thing, Jaded is cool too.

We got a kabedon without the Don... We got a KabeBOnk instead !

Come on girl, you got all the pieces for this puzzle, start assembling!

It’s also possible that Aya is so into Mitsuki that she’ll immediately get over the fact that she’s a girl and roll right into “oh my god the fact that she’s so reserved in class is precious info, she’s even cuter than I thought”

After this chapter, I think you're on to something.

Nah, my money would be on Walk this way, Sweet Emotion, or Back In The Saddle since she said 'early' Aereosmith.

Be careful with those glasses, Clark!

I'm pretty sure it's walk this way. It's a very get shit done song

The entire series should be tagged like this

I'm always happy to see these little moments that show the two bonding outside of the store.

I'm always happy to see these little moments that show the two bonding outside of the store.

I appreciate the author's intent to involve other characters (the uncle, annoying classmate) to augment the story, but I would like to see more direct interaction between Mitsuki and Aya. Summer should be an interesting time to allow for more visits to the shop and potentially more build-up between their dynamic.

I'm sorry, but these highschool girls being real into Aerosmith brings me out of it lol. But at the same time, for these weirdos? I can see it.
cute chapter, only wish I had more...
