Good stuff but also screw Japanese law when it comes to self defense.

Seriously,can't protect crap without getting random bull crap thrown at you.

Oh, I love this! I relate this young girl so much.

It's pretty, but boy the story sure isn't coherent

The crying bear toy was cute.

Lots of effort going into this. For now I'm figuring the guy going in was the ghost of her ex-husband.

That (real) first chapter was so awesome. The art, especially for the protagonist, is win++.

edit: And thanks to the translator. Good stuff, once again.

Great first chapter, thanks for the translation Daphie! To echo an above sentiment, everything you've picked so far I've finished and enjoyed.

Something about Goumoto really struck a cord for me. The way the author engages with the introspective aspect really charmed me.

Can you elaborate on this? I'm not familiar with Japanese law.

It's so pretty but the story is so empty

Empty like a single out-of-tune piano key sounding in a dusty sunlit house on a spring afternoon…

i just finished Night and Sea, so it's cool that there's already a new Goumoto series to read. they're quickly becoming a new favorite mangaka of mine, and this one is certainly showing promise to continue that trend

Oh I saw ch01 and then the prologue chapters, Thank you Daphie for finding another gem, you really know how to pick 'em

This seems really intriguing; can't wait to see where this goes ^^

The oneesan is extra cute when she sewed the little guy back up.

Man, that felt extremely wholesome for some reason. And I really enjoy the super slow pace, especially when their relationship seem to be moving forward quite quickly from randoms to good friend.
Also art fucking rocks.
Thanks for the chapter!

That bear's so cute I wanna cry

Hopefully you'll see this since the second chapter came out,but in short,you're expected to run and find a police officer even if that option is the worst option when factoring in protecting your loved ones and protecting your stuff.

Here's why :

What this means is if you successfully defend yourself plus related people from an attacker and you so much as injure them too much,they can get a reduced sentence or even not get charged.

This would be fine if not for the fact a lot sources state that if you make first contact,it's not self-defence.

See what clearly is a hostile person in your home?,you can't make the first strike,no baseball for home defense here.

See a crazy person charging at you with clear intent to harm?,congrats on carrying a knife for self-defence,because anything longer then five cm is illegal to publically carry,and Swiss army pocket knives are too long.

Combine this with the extremely flawed police habit of making sure all cases are closed and the court system being a very "guilty until proven innocent" stance,and you're pretty much always going to get into way more hassle then you honestly should receive.

But at least you can get a hot sloppy mess ghost lady to hang out with.

I think the ghost tag should go. There's no ghost here.

Also, it's obviously filled with references to Alice in Wonderland.

the end!?

Small typo in 2.1 Page 5 second panel:
Come one -> Come on
