I love Fuuko, the way she put her foot on the desk was soooo cool. Every move this girl does screams confidence. Thank you for the translation, I really appreciate it!

Sure... But A LOT also hate her work... and I see a lot of criticism about the author writting skills in here and at 4chan.

They just don't understand her genius.

Gotta say, the "people who dont like it just dont understand it" argument is and always has been wack. At the end of the day, the quality of this series, just like any other piece of fiction, is subjective, wether you think its great or terrible.

There is nothing to spoil because this series is still ongoing. Chapter 19 came out like yesterday

What about the raws?

The raws came out like yesterday too. The scanlator is uber fast.

It's a shame that actual good stories don't translate as fast as this...

One man's trash is another man's treasure.

Plenty of people love Kyoukano (including me, or I wouldn't translate it so fast).

We appreciate the speed you bring us this latest toxic cesspool

You might no like the story because you're uncomfortable with the themes, but it doesn't mean the author is bad at what she does. On the contrary, she's very good. She call it herself "kuzu yuri", ie, "trash yuri" and everything is done on purpose to be the most infuriating possible.

Somehow the manga I like the most these days are either kuzu yuri or prostitution yuri, sometimes both... Sorry but I'm Not Into Yuri, My Girlfriend's Not Here Today, A Scummy Gap Student With a Hard Life Calls Upon a Lady of the Night, Asumi-chan Is Interested In Lesbian Brothels...

Nothing better than smashing moral correctness into smithereens, yessir.

I cannot believe it. The artist STILL manages to establish a potential poly relationship. I really thought she could not do that for this manga, the theme was just too different from her past "poly" work. And now this. The only question other than resolving this chapter is, will the next chapter be the final one? Yes, this chapter is a miracle. It is soo good.

Her writing, page composition; her characters expressions, movements, eyes, etc, are carefully crafted. When Fuuko wraps an arm around Yuni when confronting Nanase, it has meaning. When Fuuko puts her foot besides Yuni, it has meaning. When Nanase slightly blushes when Yuki hugs her, it has meaning.

You might no like the story because you're uncomfortable with the themes, but it doesn't mean the author is bad at what she does. On the contrary, she's very good. She call it herself "kuzu yuri", ie, "trash yuri" and everything is done on purpose to be the most infuriating possible. And obviously, her Japanese audience follows, because her serialization continues.

If you really hate it, just don't read it. Simple as that.

If you keep on reading, it means you're still fascinated, like watching a train wreck, and the author met their goal.

Bro she's not a misunderstood genius

Bro I'd say she isn't. She's very well understood and enormously successful in Japan. And if some bro in America doesn't like her work, well, I'm sure she could draw a beautiful pic of the turd of shit she doesn't give about that.

Thank you so much for your hard work, Kirin-kun! I almost can't believe you did cl/rd/tl/ts so fast all by yourself! You're the best! ♡

Bru I'm not from murica but thx for assuming that, guess my English passes then ;). I would love to see that beautiful turd though, I bet she could make it happen.

Oh yeah and Kirin-kun good job indeed, I have never seen someone upload a new chapter this fast. Keep em coming and don't mind folks like me who have some beef with the writing ✌️

I wouldn't call it a masterpiece, but is definitely fun, welll paced and it definitely draws your attention whether you like it or not. The author had a clear vision of what type of story she wanted to tell and so far has been executing it flawlessly.

"Reading with love" is a rather tall order sensei, but reading with some kind of peculiar amusement is doable. Hopefully it all goes maximum trash in the final chapters.

Everyone keeps calling Yuni and Fuuko toxic, but you know, as someone who really empathizes with Yuni, I think Fuuko is really likeable!

Kinda wild that Yuni isn't at all curious about what's going on with Miss Fuuko. Just another nail in the coffin, I guess.

God, Yuni... you really do just go "oh a girl is giving me attention yay" haha. Like my opinion is pretty steadfast that all three of them have issues they need to work on to be able to be in a fulfilling relationship and Nanase who has served as the butt monkey for most of the manga has had her breakthrough, basically realizing that while she can't just give all her attention to volleyball that she also can't just give up volleyball in turn.

Now it's up to Yuni to reciprocate, or continue self-destructing whenever her girlfriend doesn't look at her. Or who knows maybe Nanase is going to revenge cheat on Yuni with Yuki and we get another boost of drama that way lmao.

Also I can't really see this end without Fuuko going fucking so toxic it becomes nuclear, like she's going to have a breakdown it's unreal the demons she's battling as a result of crushing on her straight neighbor.

On the one hand, promises to change by your reliably unreliable main girlfriend.

On the other hand, smokin’ hot transgressive sex with your borderline-nutjob downlow lover.

What’s a passive reactive MC to do?
