Fuck April Fool’s Day.

My least favorite day of the year generally speaking.

Honestly, I respect it. But have people really been complaining about the British spellings? That seems...odd.

wow that's a lot of miserable cranks in the comments, I bet they didn't even see the sick ass pose.

Fun pranks are a dying art out here, keep it up yuri comrades

If I'm miserable it's because "pranks" like this aren't funny to me.

I was able to read "sorry, mommy's tired" before I decided it was too much work to learn the alphabet to get the chapters earlier.

It's not hurting anyone so in this case you can just roll your eyes and move on if you don't personally like it.

I never said it's hurting anyone, I just don't enjoy most April Fools shenanigans, especially ones such as this, and I am stating such because this is the forum to discuss the series. I also don't need to be told I'm miserable for not sharing your sense of humor, that aside it sounds like this day was made for you and well I hope you enjoy it.

The Kamina and Simon reference made me realize there is a problematic self-esteem-gap between these girls. As I do not support problematic yuri, I will be dropping this series now. Thank you for understanding.

We know what the title/logo reads and immediately see that the ammount of characters has changed (but notice that "the" got turned into the same glyph twice), so this is not just a font-based substitution cypher, defeating most primitive frequency analysis. It doesn't look like any natural language I could identify either.
Sweet, there must have been put quite some effort in here. I hope i get a translation before the actual chapter hits.

Edit:
Some Prefer Nettles just arrived and gave away all the intrigue. Sad.

Huh? Didn't the first page explicitly spell out what they're doing? Is there another layer to this I'm missing?

They have updated it since, that page wasn't there half a day ago.

Oh, yeah, SUCH a “fun” prank. It’s the equivalent of dressing up in a brick wall costume and standing in front of a door, preventing anyone from going through it for a whole day. It’s not fun or entertaining; it’s an inconvenience.

Sure, it’s ultimately harmless and not that big of a deal. But it’s still fucking annoying. At least past April Fool’s stuff that used silly dialogue or memes and stuff has SOME entertainment value. This is just boring and unimaginative as far as “pranks” go. What’s the joke? You can’t read it? Yeah, and I can’t read Japanese either. I could look at literally any other untranslated piece of media or fucking a picture of a road sign in Vietnamese and get the same experience. It’s not humorous. It’s just “whatever” at best.

And before I get lynched by the joke police for the crime of being a grouchy grumpus, I’m not REALLY that mad or anything. Again, it’s just a small, annoying inconvenience that I know I only have to deal with for a day. But that’s why April Fool’s sucks so much. Just a whole 24 hours of mild annoyances and inconveniences from people who think “comedy = (lying + disruption) X frustration”. Just a stupid thing to have to deal with others forcing on you EVERY year when all you want is the thing you came for. In this case, the next chapter of a story I liked reading.

Yeah it's something where my sense of humor for the most part is fine, just personally I don't think mild inconvenience is funny. If other other people are enjoying it that's great, it's definitely not the end of the world it's simply not my thing.

Yeah I suppose if anything I can laugh at my self for falling it, it wasn't midnight here at the time of seeing this so I genuinely expected a real translation lol

Why are people so irritated by this prank? To me this attitude comes across as a bit rude to the scanlators. It's not as though they are obligated to deliver us free translated chapters. Plus, this chapter might as well not have been uploaded today in the first place, it's not like there is a fixed release schedule, as far as I'm aware. And even if there was, it's just one day's delay, for a completely free service.

I thought this was funny tbh, but it's not that big a deal regardless. I did fall for it for a moment and then went, oh April fool's day, and that was it. I can just log in again tomorrow or in a couple of days and read the chapter then. There sure are some essays here about not being "REALLY that mad".
