Sorry I was the one who sniped you guys haha. I was very worried when there is no update for three months, glad that you can return. But yeah, just take your time, I was afraid that you guys dropped this precious gem.

it's no biggie. i understand completely. are you on the dynasty scans discord? if so i might reach out if i need help with it in the future.

Am I the only one that enjoyed the chapter? I saw it was gonna be special because it's ch100 and I thought this was fun. It will probably be put to the side as a dream or something, but still very fun. And also we had the confirmation that Koguma is explicitly conscious of her feelings!
Very good stuff. Love this!

God just make out and kiss already
The tension in the air is thick enough to suffocate

I did not see this turn coming... Their reactions to how they look to the other are great, though. ^_^

Far as the chapter goes, I fully expect this to just be a dream one or both of our favorite goofs are having.

Fully expected the chapter to end like that. So yeah, definitely a possibility, as far as I'm considered.

Am I the only one that enjoyed the chapter?

Not at all. Unexpected supernatural shenanigans or not, the chapter was still as enjoyable as always.

Oh I didn't dislike the chapter, it just feels very much like an April Fools joke type of chapter to me haha

To be fair...

s-CRY-ed is a god-tier anime.

Is this gonna turn out to be a dream? It hardly fits with the manga otherwise.

I feel the same, hope it's just a dream.

We're still talking about Kinniku Tarou, so whatever it turns out to be certainly won't be what especially Koguma's thinking (and what it superficially seems to be).

An interesting conundrum here:

First, the obvious starting premise is that Hino and Koguma each have a very different image of themselves than the other one does: Koguma thinks of herself as childish-looking while Hino sees her as unbearably cute; Hino sees herself as plain and uninteresting-looking, while Koguma sees her as a cool, mature beauty. Changing those assumptions and perceiving themselves as "worthy" of the other one would be an important step towards an ultimate romantic relationship.

But if this is in fact some version of a dream or hallucination, the effects (seeing oneself as the other one sees her) will be perceived only by the "dreamer" (presumably Koguma after she hit her head).

So this event can only signal mutual "progress" if it "really" happens so that both come to understand how the other person sees them, and thus, as people have been saying, introducing an entirely new fantasy element to the series.

(That is, unless there's a way to explain away the apparent body switch and still have both of them feel the effects that I'm not thinking of here.)

But if this is in fact some version of a dream or hallucination, the effects (seeing oneself as the other one sees her) will be perceived only by the "dreamer" (presumably Koguma after she hit her head).

I mean, we've seen reactions from both perspectives, so at the very least it should be a shared dream.

What the... So random.

This author really has captured the essence of one of the most influential magicians of the 20th century: Lucille van Pelt.

Huehuehue what do we have here~

Bodyswappin bitches find the Yuri, more to come on the news at 9.

Weird. I figured the chapter would end with it being a dream.

I'm not really a fan of bodyswapping storylines, with one notable exception, so I can't say I really liked this chapter, but I do hope the realizations they've had about each other's perspective will result in some progress.

Reading other replies, I appreciate that I'm not the only one to say s-CRY-ed is the least likely part of it. ♪⁠～⁠(⁠´⁠ε⁠｀⁠ ⁠)

Author-san ... ran out of ideas? That's what this chapter feels like in the grand scheme of things.

Yay, new chapter! Whose dream is it going to end up being if it is one? I think it's more likely to just be a temporary effect that isn't going to be explored too much. Either way, cute.

Y'know, of all the uses of the bodyswap trope I've seen, I don't think I've ever seen this approach of using it as a way to show both characters how the other one sees them. Feels kinda fresh

So is translator going to be able to catch back up or will life events cause them to get further and further behind? We're now 10 chapters behind what's been published.

With how quickly they've been known to pump out chapters in the past when catching up, they'll be able to catch up just fine. The more important thing is that they take care of their life. At the end of the day, a manga on the internet means nothing compared to personal well being.

Please refrain from seeking status updates in this manner. The team will get to it when they are able to, and that's that. As rule 4 states:

Do not ask, plead, or beg for more or quicker releases. It may be acceptable to seek an update on a series that appears to be sitting dormant, but always do so respectfully.

Thanks.

Truth. Also is this Canon? Is it April fool's in Japan?

Also oh no I hope Stan is ok. He's so cool... Now I'm a bit worried, but he's also an adult so.

Ok, I came here to say: That's an incredible unique use of the Bodyswap situation. They exchanged bodies, but they get to see how the other sees them. Pretty good
