such a lovely series! the classic 00s look of the art and narration style lends it a novelistic quality; you can really feel takara's overflowing emotion and yearning but at the same time there's so much restraint... big ups to the translator for doing a great job on this one

So this has been licensed, under Viz's shojobeat imprint of all things. Yay for official english release

X is banned in my country. Can anyone tell me what it says?

Nothing much, just an announcement.

Thanks!!
Coming in April... I should write that down in a calendar.

Wait, April as in 3/4 of a year from now? Why the hell would they sit on this for so long, that's like novel-length translation times. We might all be dead by then, who wants to wait all the way until April

Also this series is really good. :)

Why does this sound familiar...?

Oh, right, the Switch 2.

Man... the part in Ch 11 where they're alone together eating and Ema says that she feels like she's living a dream and could shout out loud would have been the perfect moment for a kiss

Ema-san... what were you doing at a lesbian bar, pray tell?

Also, giant facepalm at Takara who saw Ema at the bar and didn't go to her because she thought "It's prolly a drunken hallucination!"

Other people see pink elephants, Takara sees Ema-chans. Sounds reasonable to me.

Every time I read this, I can't help but admire the art style. It has a gentle quality that complements the characters' personalities nicely For example, the way the characters' hair is drawn looks lighter, fluffier and even more detailed when they're feeling bashful, or the little polka dots and flowers that appear in some panels, gives the manga a youthful charm. :)

That was solved quite quickly, even if the big secret is still hanging over them.

I'm in so much pain lmao. my heart. damn.

Hopefully Hario goes full yuri shipper route like in gxgxb, he seems like the kind of guy to do that

I don't know if it's just that Ema's my type, but I think this mangaka is really good at expressing that delicate, shivering feeling of love and tenderness, of being overwhelmed by how cute someone is, completely taken over by love. And then the explicit LGBTQ rep is just the cherry on top. This is definitely one I'm going to buy the whole set of.

As expected from an award-winning mangaka. One of Uozumi's previous series, Mikazuki to Neko, won the 1st Anan Neko Manga Taishou's Grand Prize. The series also explores themes like sexual orientation and carries a similar pace and delicate atmosphere to Pinky Candy Kiss. It's evident that Uozumi is not only very skilled in drawing but also in creating realistic characters and well-written, engaging stories. (^-^)

okay, so… does Ema's husband radiate ace vibes?
or is he similar simply convinced that his wife is ace?

Thanks for the translation! I really appreciate this series.

Even though it hurts!

Thank you for uploading these in one go and sparing us the Chapter 12 cliffhanger...!

This manga is so cute. The way they blush and look at each other is just adorable every time. Very interesting hint at the end of the most recent chapter, I wonder what influence this new character will bring. She seems mischievous lol
