APRIL FOOLS DAY ISN'T FUNNY
IT'S A WASTE OF TIME
NO APRIL FOOLS DAY JOKE IS CLEVER OR FUNNY
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

maybe the real joke was the YouTube link not working

Now it's making my brain race thinking of the countless possibilities of what could have been in the YT video

Holy cow, I just realised based on the numbering (whole numbers) that there are only 3 chapters between two April fool's edition.

I just remembered what day it is lol. Thanks for the reminder first thing. Now I know to pay attention!

^^ Not totally true- tho Apr1st scans are often not funny, ive seen some hilarous april fools over the years.
Its hard to do right lol- you gotta be genuinly funny and avoid annoying people.

p.s Remember April fools chapters are often tagged - or another give away is very slap dash editing of speach bubbles,
with naff fonts and alignment, or the japanese txt still visible below etc.

not funny didnt laugh also you're gay (good at yugioh)

Waiting for new chapter <3

It reminds me the last year's april fool, it was pretty well done

Once again, real big fan of Shimamura.

Same. AdaShima romance story is interesting and well-written for sure, yet the main reason why I like reading this series so much is Shimamura's internal monologue. She might appear as a cold, apathetic, even heartless to some readers, but the truth is she still cares about her family, her friends in her own way.

Yes and she's rarely cold. She's mostly just not playing the role she's "supposed" to play in these kinds of stories and that reads as cold to some. She's mostly just acting like a normal person would and not necessarily caught up in instant love and fawning.

She seemingly is a normal character, in a normal world and a normal love story, doesn't have anything special. And that's what made her interesting. Iruma Hitoma has made Shimamura an in-depth character, doesn't feel flat in anyways.

I agree--except she does have special qualities. It's a thoughtful decision to pair her type with Adachi, who really craves the romance genre type love obsession (and vice versa). An interesting way for the author to make certain points in the manga (but especially the LNs).

Bathtub bonding time!

My heart was not prepared for the three pages of hardcore handholding at the end...

Penny for Shimamura's thoughts

Gotta say, seeing Adachi have an absolute breakdown like she did in ch28 was a real treat. I don't normally enjoy seeing characters suffer, much less such a sweetheart like Adachi, but this one just fit so well. Made me go ohgodohgoditsrealnow

And then Shimamura is?...

Well, I'm glad Shimamura is clearly not a normal person (in a good way) and we avoided the drama, but the author must have everyone just DYING to know what she's thinking

Well done, Adachi, and rewarded with headpats. ^_^

The next time I'm verbally assaulted I'm countering by accusing them of eating nothing but cabbage.

wow adachi's just like me fr fr (right down to the incoherent breakdown) i love having no social skills and unhealthy obsessions

Where are we in terms of the ln?

Where are we in terms of the ln?

The chapter titles correspond to those of the LN, so halfway through last chapter of volume 5.

That's some angsty bike riding

At first I thought the bottom of page 12 read, Her heart soars. Her soul alright. And I thought her heart soars. Her soul. .. Meh. And I Couldn't stop laughing.

Good job getting through that denial.

Aah, this is a loud confesion

That's some angsty bike riding

As Bill Murray once advised a ground hog: Don't drive angry.

only up from here my fellow adachi supporters

This is such a sad manga. I hate seeing Adachi fall into these toxic and obsessive patterns, and I love the author for that.
This dynamic of seemingly outwardly cold, but that being a misread of the person's internal monologue contrasted with a person frustratedly obsessed with the love they share to a degree that is unhealthy to both parties... It hits too close to home, and I'm glad it was written

Even if she's "pretending like Adachi meant it", it says a lot that Shima actually decided to send a heart as her reply as well.

Agreed! Their dynamic is very interesting here and in the novels.

The key to a good relationship is to never show affection. Now I know where I've strayed.
