Why was she peeved, she is 2nd, so the answer being "two" is great news for her.

Does she know she's second? I can't remember if Chidori ever told her about her previous love.

IIRC she never did tell Nanoha about it.

Kumako in her sweats is adorbs.

Chapters 45 and 46, we had a minor dilemma with Igarashi; culminating in Nanhona boldly declaring herself "[Chidori's] current girlfriend." In 47, Nanoha also recalls that Chidori had a cute gift bag on the Valentine's before they started dating and deduced it was for Igarashi. She may not know the specifics of what went down with Igarashi, but she does know that there's some kind of history.

Yeah. On this page Chidori basically comes out and tells Nanoha that she was in love with Igarashi.

I think they get annoyed in this chapter just because it's a little awkward reminder.

Not that it really matters, but I’m unclear how these quizzes generate their answers.

For some of the questions it seems like (in US school-test terms) a fill-in-the-blanks test, like the “lint off the shoulder” one, but for others the quiz itself seems to be generating the answers, which may or may not fit the person answering.

And ^schuyguy, at this point “a little annoyed because a little awkward” is what passes for drama in this series—and more power to it, says I.

An awkward reminder indeed.

I was very confused while translating this. I remember seeing silly personality quizzes that used to be popular on facebook or whatever, but I don't think they worked like the ones in this chapter. So I looked up some real examples in Japanese, and there are multiple kinds. Just from the top hits on google, this one is like the "who's behind you" one where it gives you some questions about walking in a forest and then reinterprets your answers to be about your love life or whatever.

This one is a series of multiple-choice questions where depending on which choice you go with, it spits out some nonsense. "You move to a new place and start a new life, who do you contact first?" If you go with 1: your father, then apparently it means that you like equal relationships and don't like to be pampered by your lover. I assume that the first question in this chapter was that kind, since it seems to have generated answers for them.

That last part in particular helps, because the quiz-taker gives the answer, then the algorithm comes up with some quasi-horoscope “reading” from what they chose.

Thanks, and of course thanks for the translation of one of my all-time favorites.

Why was Kumako crying at the end? Was it because people were mad at her about the quizzes? If so, I kinda feel bad for her

I think she just got crappy “answers” on the quizzes. Like the “No Luck/Your love is doomed” shrine fortunes.

Awwww, that still pretty sad. Hope she proves those quizzes wrong

Any info on when this will continue?

Also here wondering the same... Really miss this series

There has been some updates on the authors twitter feed but I guess the TL are waiting for the next book to be published to translate.

Looks like someone picked this up on MD

It feels weird not getting monthly updates for this...does anyone else feel the same?

I was pretty bummed when it stopped updating, since this is one of my faves, but thankfully another group has picked it up and has been publishing new chapters to Mangadex. They're up to 127 now, releasing roughly every other week. Hopefully the chapters make their way here eventually.

The group doing the scanlations here just waits for the entire volume to release, which takes a long time, and then release all the chapters in a matter of days. By this point, I've gotten used to that being the process for this series.

I suddenly remembered this. Glad it's still going on somewhere

Guess I'll take the chance to reread it from the start

Kovachi Luka announced the series is ending with the next chapter (162) in a couple weeks. (link contains some minor spoilers for the latest raw ch.) Link to the tweet. End of an era. I'm definitely going to miss it.

The scans still have a ways to catch up, so that's something to look forward to at least.
