I don't.

People nowadays don't know what RPG means. Actually developers nowadays also don't...

Chapters up to 8 were available previously though apparently they were badly done translations - not sure if they were on here - and either they couldn't be uploaded here or got removed for various reasons - like that TL group didn't want them on other sites or something.

The chapters up to 8 were here but were removed because there were some misunderstanding and miscommunication between 2 groups and instead of joined project Tender Yuri just went ahead and did it on their own, because they thought it was dropped, which enraged Arckuno and ended up forcing dynasty to remove them. Details are unclear, but that is the gist of it. If you want to come up with your own conclusions, read this

Do you mean the manga Amanogawa Ke No Yon Shimai?

I'm pretty sure they mean this in which case I can agree 1 adulterer was indeed unredeemable.

My wife's ex-husband is a nasty selfish bastard who treated her and the kids very badly, and when she was splitting up with him her whole community (church people, her family and so on) were on her case and on her case to work it out and stick together

I agree with this point a lot. People say marriage make things more stable and less flimsy, but it works both ways. People get used to situation and thinks it is how it is supposed to be, some bad stuff can happens but as long as overall is positive, they are unwilling to change anything. And even if it turns into plain abuse, they still try to stick with it because they got used to it and if relationship was long enough, they simply don't know anything else. So this idea of marriage is permanent and you should just work things out is often more hurtful than helpful. The whole holification of marriage and stigma of divorcing in religious group is honestly really annoying.

But if they're in the kind of relationship you describe, then who the hell cares if she cheats? What's she supposed to be even cheating on? If they're in a formal relationship to perpetuate family units, then what does who she is intimate with have to do with it?

I guess husband would still feel betrayed? Probably best to look at it on case by case basis, but as you said, we don't really know anything. Still assuming they both agreed to that kind of relationship dictated by society, I think it would be some kind of betraying of trust.

Once maybe he was a man who loved a woman, once maybe he cherished her and wanted to know more about her, once maybe he wanted to drive her wild sexually, but now it seems like all that kind of thing is just . . . not relevant, not a role related to him. Now I know this seems to be a quite traditional approach to marriage, not just in Japan but practically everywhere, but that seems to be frankly because sexism is a traditional approach practically everywhere. It still sucks.

And so frankly, if he were just not very good at being her lover, if he wasn't putting in as much effort as he used to, taking her a little for granted, then they could work on that. But if he's vacated the position he shouldn't be too surprised if someone else fills it. He may vaguely assume that the roles he assigns to her--housekeeper and mother--are therefore all there is to her, but that does not make it so.

In short: IMO, being a husband includes being your wife's lover, and I don't just mean using her for sex now and then. One of the responsibilities of the position, and a delicious one. If you fail to meet that responsibility, you have a whole lot less to complain about if someone else does.

No, if you are going with husband is never home because of work angle then you are missing important part. In japan it is never you go for a girl then your work starts to take longer and you working too long so either don't have time for her or your initial interest disappears. In japan you work your entire life. You are expect to spend your entire life in work so society can work. So it goes like that, you finish high school/college, go to work, work all the time (japanese can often work 80 hours a week, doing overhours is not a option, it is expected and everything for shitty pay) and then are still expected to go on drinking party with their co-workers/bosses and then after getting home around 1-2 am, go to work on 8 am and the cycle repeat. They have no time for themselves, they have no lifes. That is why going on arranged dates and finding a woman to marry like that is so common. They have no time to date. Then why they do it? Because society expects them to. If you are over 30 and still not married there is something wrong with you. You don't marry for love, you marry for stability, so you have a wife who will take care of home, take care of future children while you work and you can prolong your family. Sure, some women works, but most of the time, husband is working to support entire family. So it isn't about him just stopping caring about her. It is usually about him not really caring about her in the first. Sure they might had some chemistry at first, but when husband is never home and wife just needs to find a way to spend her free time, there is no real way for anything to progress. It's not about neglect, but about doing your part/role, so society can work, so both sides just accepts it as reality. And those kind of loveless marriages are common thing in japan. The most sad thing actually is that often when husband finally is old enough to retire and can finally stay home, wife is actually annoyed, because suddenly there is a stranger in her house. So I can understand attempt at justifying cheating when marriage has some kind of huge problems, like being abusive, but your example just doesn't work.

EDIT/ Forgot to mention. That is exactly why there is so many romance manga/anime, because they don't have time to experience it themselves so they want to read a heart-throbbing stories instead. Also that is the reason why there is so little adult life anime/manga, because that is their entire life so they want to escape it and go back to only time they had true freedom and no responsibility. And that is of course the reason so many high school stories exist. Also of course dating sims and marring 2d characters.

Ahhhhhhh!!! It ended! I didn't know it was going to be ending so it took my by surprise!

It was really sudden and unexpected. I was wondering how they'd handle the fourteen month separation but I was just expecting a timeskip, not a timeskip followed by a sudden ending.

Author said they are entering second half of story so once the thing with job offer popped out it was clear it is finally of the series. Sadly author ended on disappointed note.

It's not made up language. It's a internet shortcut for sarcasm, some people started to use exactly for people like you who can't tell when someone is not serious.

She is clearly a tsundere that got embarrassed and couldn't admit her own feelings.

tulituli posted:

Please remove =/= I demand to remove.

Doesn't change how ridiculous that request is. And even if it is made politely, are you trying to tell me you made it not expecting it to be fulfilled? It is still a demand, even if made politely. Not to mention childish, I didn't like something so remove it from site because I didn't like it, doesn't matter maybe others enjoy it and I don't have to read it again or didn't have to read it in the first place, I still want it to be gone from this site so it doesn't have something I don't like. Nobody cares how much stuff you tolerated before finally asking to remove something. It's still based only on your sensibility and what you think should not be allowed on site and you are clearly not the person who gets to decided it, as it was uploaded her in the first place. So yes, no matter how you word it, you are still demanding site to be run according with your own sensibilities.

The kanji for the protagonist's name is 遊里. Normal enough characters for a name, but as a noun it means a play-district in the sense of an area for brothels.

Oh dang, what a fail. I totally forgot they gave kanji for her name, because I was working mostly on english script for past 3 weeks and sentences I was rechecking didn't use her name.

And yes, the meaning of her name is "red light district​", forgot about that funny fact xD

(I'm still not entirely clear on how becoming a "yes woman" fits with wanting to be by oneself... I guess it is not wanting to stand out as odd and standoffish, like Natsume does, and going to the other extreme? One wonders if the people around her perceive the lack of sincerity?)

It wasn't really clear, but implication is that she in general prefers to be alone, but for some reason felt discomfort when being by herself in classroom full of people, which forced her to interact with people just to endure school time, and somehow along the line she ended up doing favors for everyone, because she tried to be too nice.

That is not the only possible spelling of name yuri. It's so annoying everyone assumes it is written using kanji for lily and thinks that is the default meaning.

I was serious. If you want to post here, you need to learn shoujo ai doesn't exist. Also yea, I agree avoiding arguments, especially when someone is clearly insulting/trolling you or it doesn't seem you are able to agree, is a good thing, but civil discussions and debates are like entire point of having forum. It's not a glorified like/dislike button.

Shoujo ai doesn't exist.

^ Well, on page 12 the girl says 'lets get boyfriends before the summer break starts' - that to me makes it sound like the summer break is pretty close - though that could be a week or 2 or like 5-6 week.

Yes I meant we don't know if they meant it will be in 1, 2 or 3 months so it is hard to tell how important summer really is. Story might even finish before it starts, so it is hard to judge how important it is for the story.

elevown posted:

And it is possible older people use "megu" instead of "megeru," which means "to lose courage."

"Loosing courage at summer" they all feels pretty far fetched. I'm more convinced it is just meant to mean nutmeg and might be the reason to name 1 character Natsume.

p.s many thanks for translating this :)

You are welcome ;3

elevown posted:

Another thing - it is set just before the summer holidays - and the first 2 kana of nutmeg 'natsu' also mean summer right? so there might be another meaning in the name? Though I'm not sure what the megu bit would mean unless its an abbreviation for something.

I already asked about it, because I felt like there might be some other meaning to it, but nobody replied and only person that did reply said, she has no idea and said to just tl it as nutmeg. We don't know when exactly it takes place and while "natsu" indeed means summer, I feel it is just coincident, especially since "megu" by itself doesn't really mean anything.

Deus posted:

I wouldn't say that loli by definition means lolita-complex

But it does. Lolicon is a abbreviation of phrase Lolita Complex which was originally took exactly the way it means here, but then lolis become popular and it become it's own thing, but the original meaning is still there.
