The cliffhanger got me a bit confused, is there a problem with Miyako hanging out with the girls from elm. Is there a problem with myako being in touch with her former group

She decided to retire on a whim, without informing her company, announced it during a concert and went missing right after that, which almost certainly violated whatever contracts she signed, ruined her company's schedule and forced them to do lots of damage control. Some fans still suspect Ruri might have done something to take over the group (worsened public image) and both the company and the public likely prodded the group a lot for any information on where Miyako might be or if there was anything that led to the disappearance. The company finding out the girls are in touch with her or even were involved somehow may cause more trouble for the girls or lead the company to discovering Miyako's whereabouts (at which point they may force her to come back or to compensate them for any losses they suffered).
Scratch that, I completely misremembered the backstory chapter. But then, the only validation for keeping their meetings a secret I can think of after she got the approval for the retirement is some sort of 'no further contact allowed' clause in fear of tabloids finding out.

But - so far all the drama turned out to be a setup for more wholesomeness, so I wouldn't worry about it yet.

But truth be told, the thing that caught my eye most was "this manhole is lovely" because that is not a sentence I ever expected anyone to ever say.

Read up on Japanese manhole art. Or their traffic cones. Or any other mundane object present in Japan, really; nothing is safe from moeification.

That deep lore dump in the translator notes was kind of like reading the wiki after finishing a fantasy book.

I bothered this time, but if people want to stay ignorant (or do it themselves) it'll save me the trouble.

Thank you so much for the details. It is as interesting as the chapter itself and very helpful for non-Japanese readers. Also thank you for your quick translation too!

I like the mini wiki in the end. I'll probably treat myself with some eel at the end of the month.

Ah, they went to Kawagoe. I thought I recognized the place. I there there myself a few years ago to see the locations from the "Tsuki ga Kirei" anime, and I wound up at the Kashiya Yokocho without even realizing what it was. Fun times!

I feel like their comment was an approving/good-natured one.

It was. :-)

I'm fine with fictional romances. Having one myself would just be a hassle (...).

Felt. It's a pain in the ass when people pity you for it like you've "given up."

... I guess you can still ship Hatomori x Ruri, but platonically

After 15.5 I really ship them now. But as besties. Maybe, dare I say, fu—

Also family members looking at you weird when you say it's not a priority right now (you being in your 20s).

Naw, if anything, 15.5 has only made me ship them harder. Shit might be the titanic, for all I care, I still say full steam ahead.

As an aside, the comedic chemistry between Hatomori and Ruri is absolutely outstanding, and the comedic timing is also impeccable. Good shit.

Ruri would totally be my kamioshi if she existed in real life

18.5 seems a subset of 15.5?

I'm guessing you have to refresh really hard or something, it was uploaded all at once as 15.5 and split later from what I saw

Damn. Ruri is such an attractive person. I need a Ruri in my life.

I'm sorry, but I can't interpret that scene between Ruri and Hatomori as anything BUT a flag.

This scene between Ruri and Hato was probably the author's reaction to (Japanese) readers shipping them, so she gave them food for thought. Imo, she has/had no intention of making a side couple, so she just made them aro.

Finding romance a hassle is not the same as being aro, though. Them being alike like this, as Ruri puts it, is less a sign of this ship not sailing, and more one of them being highly compatible, as they can focus on their jobs as they want to, but also spend their free time together at home in bed without having to worry about the usual romance bits like dates. Old married couple trope style.

Not to mention like, one of the most popular yuri manga of the past couple years, had a legit ace lesbian ending (crescent moon and doughnuts). So it can be seen as either or.

Also if one actually read it, the note wasn't that she's ace. Just that she didn't have the time nor energy while idol girl is like 'yknow I could also go for something easy and lowkey'

It's a side couple flag lmao

Especially as, no matter how good work they usually do, their chosen translation for the title makes not sense if you've actually read it.

Throwing the title into Google Translate makes it look like they just did a fairly straightforward translation of the title though.

Is that the way a rental listing for a place like that would be worded? The “with Landlord” would seem to be the relevant part here . . .
