In chapter 75

Unlike with her tie, I couldn’t bring myself to wear Sendai-san’s blouse for some reason

I kind of think the reason she’s not wearing Sendai’s blouse is because she’s afraid of getting too attached to her. It definitely seems like a very personal thing to wear somebody else’s clothes. Kind of like the whole boyfriend shirt thing, just in this case it would be girlfriends blouse. It’s something a couple would do, not something non-friends would do.

I said the same thing in the comments section but figured I'd share my thoughts here as well. Don't know why I'm pointing that out, it just felt a little awkward lol.

Definitely possible! But as we know, Miyagi's thoughts are an enigma wrapped in a riddle wrapped in a mystery, so we'll never learn the real reason.

For anyone who's not aware, Amawashi's translation has been compiled into an ebook. There are two volumes so far, here's the download link:

I PROMISE I'm not pandering for upvotes. I don't give a shit about fake Internet points on reddit. All I care about is spreading Amawashi's great work and trying to raise the popularity of Shuukura so we hopefully get a physical English version someday.

Sounds like something a karmawhore would say :P

Lol, part 76 is pretty long. I decided to take a break and hit the gym, but I'm already sitting at 5 pages on Word (the other parts in this chapter are 6-7 pages long), but I'm guesstimating it'll end up at 9 or 10. It's not the longest one, but it sure is cute.

Damn it, you found me out. I was so trying to use that reverse psychology.

guesstimating

Thank Madoka your spelling is normally way better than this. :P

But take your time and enjoy getting those gains...or polishing that cut at the gym. :D

We love the cute long ones. Wait.....that sounded kind of weird. Anyways, take your time. Get them gains girl.

Seriously, are you like one of my multiple personalities or something? I didn't even see your comment before I left mine. That's a little more than a coincidence lol.

Lmao we're just Miyagi-brained! I would say Sendai-brained but I don't think I'm smart enough for that. :D

I caught that before the edit and was going to say that Shima is on a whole different level.

Dangit quit peeking at me while I'm still getting ready! :P

But yeah I do see parallels between Adachi/Miyagi and Sendai/Shimamura so my brain mixes them up every so often.

I very very very much prefer Shuukura though.

Same here. Thankfully Shuukura didn't take the same approach with physical romance. It was almost impressive that with as many volumes as AdaShima has we didn't even get one kiss scene. I guess the story always was more about their emotional connection rather than their physical one though.

I was thinking the other day about how similar Miyagi and Adachi are in respect to their home life. Both without any siblings living with a single parent that they never talk to. I just kind of assume Miyagi has the same type of relationship with her father that Adachi has with her mother as we've never seen the two interact. I may be wrong but that's the impression I get. It could also just be that the author has never found it relevant to show any interaction between them so we don't really know.

I think it's funny to imagine a meeting between the four girls. I can just see Miyagi and Adachi sitting there glaring daggers at each other thinking don't touch my woman, while Sendai and Shimamura sit there having a pleasant chat. Not that Shima is very social but she could at least hold a conversation.

Thankfully it's well written overall, because between the glaring absence of physical affection, the weird alien girl, and the side couple I don't care about at all, there's a lot of stuff about the series I'm not a fan of.

Yeah Miyagi has thought back on her interactions with her father enough to paint us a clear picture of their situation without needing to show them interacting directly.
And yeah, both Miyagi and Adachi have developed issues with attachment as a direct result of their problematic home life. Thankfully they each found someone who'll put up with their considerable weirdness.

Sendai would be wanting to hurry up and leave so she could be alone with Miyagi. Shimamura would be wanting to hurry up and leave so she could go take a nap.

I find that every time I write Sendai's name, I always attach "-san" to the end of it since I've been typing out her name so much. Perks of being able to type faster than I can think, I guess.

Is this a type of occupational hazard or illness? :P

But people do funny things with the names. I love Himi but wonder why they go out of their way to always refer to Maika by her family name when her given name is much shorter and used much more often in the story.
And there's somebody who occasionally posts Shuukura related content on Reddit where the title has "Sendai San" with the "-" omitted and the "San" captilized like it's her other name. Makes me imagine people calling her "San-san" and giggle to myself a bit.

And the Amawashi Translations continue to progress at lightning speed with us reaching Part 76: https://amawashigroup.wordpress.com/2024/09/17/part-76-ill-be-fine-even-if-i-dont-get-to-see-sendai-san-iv

Sendai is getting payback after being fooled in the blouse-swapping incident. She's suffering from an acute case of Miyagi deficiency and needs a kiss infusion to get back to healthy levels.

'guesstimate' is probably a common coinage, and has entered the dictionaries. https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/guesstimate

Huh TIL. Don't know why "estimate" isn't good enough but oh well.

Chapter 352 is up: https://kakuyomu.jp/works/1177354054894027232/episodes/16818093084818755953

Awww that was sweet. Sendai told Miyagi she was happy because they're together and thanked Miyagi for being with her.

Moreover, today Miyagi is exceptionally cute because she is wearing the makeup I did, the hair I styled, and the clothes I picked. I didn’t want to let her out alone. I wanted to keep her confined in this house and watch the Miyagi I made.

Her throat moves, and the cider, which shouldn’t be visible, becomes visible.
If possible, I’d like to see inside her body.
I want to follow the path of the food we made together with my eyes."

And Sendai continues to be a bit crazy with her thoughts. Girl is down so bad that it's breaking her brain.

She wants to be inside Miyagi in more ways than one.

I know this isn't the place to talk about it but I just got to say real quick, between me and you, I really wish somebody would make an edited version of AdaShima that only included chapters of the two of them together. I really don't give a damn about any of the other stuff like you said.

I think it's funny to imagine a meeting between the four girls.

If this happened, Miyagi would leave immediately, Adachi would spend the whole time talking only to Shimamura, and Sendai/Shimamura would spend the whole time having a warm friendly engaging conversation that neither of them gives a single flying fuck about. Like they would promise to be bff forever, and fully intend to never see each other again.

I hadn't really thought about it, but you're really right, this series has a lot of really interesting parallels to AdaShima. Like if in AdaShima, both girls were yandere perverts /j.

I sort of just see Adachi as a kinda sad cute puppy, but Miyagi has all these spiky edges because she resents Sendai for being popular and acting above it all etc. But also, Miyagi is also just a kinda sad cute kitten. Shimamura and Sendai both feel really responsible for the feelings of others, in a way that makes them keep people at arms length in case those people become burdens. But in Sendai's case, that has made her into this lonely person who wants to connect (with Miyagi only, but you know, baby steps). That's really the key difference I think: Shimamura sees Adachi as a burden, but Sendai thinks the opposite of Miyagi.

I don't usually celebrate these things, but I got roped into attending a mid-autumn festival party. I was planning to push part 77 out today (because it's also really cute), but dang, I'm tired. Fortunately, parts 77 and 78 don't look very long, so if we're lucky and the me of tomorrow feels motivated enough, we can get another double update out.

It's been a bit since I read any AdaShima but I don't recall Shimamura seeing Adachi as a burden. A pain in the ass at times, sure, but she still enjoys being with her and doesn't feel like it's something she does out of obligation or anything like that.

Do what you need to relax and recharge! We've been spoiled by almost daily and even multi-chapter releases lately so I think you've probably earned a break. :P
It doesn't feel like "mid-autumn" in my neck of the woods but I've seen sillier excuses to have a party.
