Im gonna perhaps get a chunk of hate for this but i do really think finishin their education is the best... Like her aunt said, its just a year, to obtain something you must sacrifice something even if it sucks to do it, specially if you actually want a stable job that requires education for it bc its clear they want stable income... And yeah i know "having education doesnt guarantee that you will get a good job blah blah blah" but it helps, it really does

I actually agree that finishing one's education is a good idea... but safeguarding one's mental health is an even better one, and the protagonists of this manga have found themselves at a juncture where they had (and still have) to choose one over the other. Ruining your mental health for the sake of a stable career and income is kind of like grinding for 40 years to retire early, then spending your remaining life in and out of a hospital because your body is a wreck -- but hey, at least you can cover all those medical bills, right? Is self-defeating, is what I am trying to say. :-/

Economic insecurity is absolutely murder on one's mental health

I have no idea what the fuck is happening but the art is gorgeous and the narration/dialogue is peaking my interest

I think theres a good song that we could use for this series…..

But to match the art, it has to be this...

Great series.

Separate bedrooms though?

(apparently that's also more of a japan thing)

That'd be pretty common anywhere, I'd think. They weren't formally dating when they moved in, and even if they were it's still not unusual to do in your early 20s. They probably just switch between one bed or another.

The part I don't buy is that they'd be able to afford this setup in Tokyo on their salaries while raising a kid and an occasional freeloader.

Oh hey, no one has mentioned that the official English version comes out next month. But it does. And now I did.

I thought it was cliché, but the quiet ones really are wild. Minami watch out, Yuzu is going straight for Uranus

Just checking out Uranus and Neptune with your bestie. Nothing gay about that

lmao the author saw everyone panicking and was like "oh shit oh god hold on dont worry i got you"

The series is tagged Romance, so in contemporary understanding this means a love story with an emotionally fulfilling or optimistic ending. It has been a long time since Romance was defined by tragedy.

It's worth noting that the romance tag on this site only means that the story is romantically inclined or focuses on a romantic relationship. We don't have any insight into how a given story will end when we tag it and it's our opinion that the tag fits, not the authors'. It's roughly used to separate yuri stories where there is no relationship from yuri stories focused on relationships

Where can you get that finely shredded tobacco from chapter 29? Kiseru pipes are easy enough to find on eBay and etsy, but not the tobacco for them.

Damn, they're fucking and everyone knows it?! Maybe I need to go re-read some chapters

Tonight, Byleth sleeps on the floor

Aaaah I love this series so much! I'm trying to find more things to read, anyone have something they'd recommend?

If you like this, then read Ayakashiko by the same author

This actually makes me think that we could use a proper tag (with an explanation on its page) for this kind of specific setting, since more and more manhua with it are being translated. system transmigration or smth along those lines.

Yeah that's what I was thinking too. My question is, what is this genre commonly localized as?

So big picture-wise, does this count as an isekai? Do readers call them isekai or is this a totally distinct Chinese genre?

Waku-2 Anya-approved Real Estate

Call me crazy, but I feel like Takina is depicted in the anime

This is a messed up ending. Noa quit her escort job presumably to take up the secretary job, did not bother to tell Amano, leaving the latter heartbroken. Why? For out-of-universe reasons, so that we can have "the reveal" at the end. In-universe, it makes sense only if Noa is a colossal sadist.

Plus, this just puts them in an even more awkward position, now that Amano is literally her boss. Dating people whose continued employment depends upon you is one of the worst decisions you could make in this regard.

I don't think it's quite that bad. It's not unheard of to date your boss, it'll just change the work dynamic, and since they already know each other beforehand they avoid overcoming the initial power gap. A lot of machine shops I've worked at or interacted with have the husband as the CEO and the wife as the secretary/front desk person, which the employment part was the least of the issues in those situations but it still worked out just fine. For them. The shop at large, maybe not so much. Fiction-wise, I think the expectation is they'll treat each other as equals or work it out like Zhu Li and Varrick in Korra.

I personally like to try to pull off surprises like this for/on people, although maybe with a bit more tact. We won't know because of how sparse the ending is, but Noa could have all sorts of reasons for doing this from proving she could get the job on her own to avoiding accusations of nepotism to thinking it could help or teach Amano something. All in all, way too rushed to have a fulfilling end though

I fully blame welease.wodger mentioning the scent twice for this.

Absolutely on point. Personally, I'd avoid the citrus-scented vibe as I don't want them to make out once and then waffle over it for 30 chapters.

That's how I make my eggs, but they never turn out like that :'(
How do you get them to not be oily when you cook them in bacon grease?

But they're staring at the viewer rather than each other, the classic yuri bait illustration! Although this author and magazine are yuri types.

Maybe we should upload the rest of this! Permission pending. I'll ask around. I originally stopped because of a sharp drop in quality after it switched hands from Amarrez, but... it seems fine now?

She made the face! The come hither face. That was from somewhere in this manga, right?

well… ouch

does anyone know how many chapters are left? or is it ongoing? (given the premise, i am inclined to think it won’t get past a 5th volume)

Latest chapter here was from the August yuri hime with it being the last in volume 4. So we have at least one volume's worth of chapters left

Everyone should probably follow Sal Jiang on Instagram to get the Real Experience. She does a lot of guitar streams for some reason.

Just wanna see the rest of SAL's Black and White uploaded.
Nothing comes close to watching Junko and Kayo bash and fcuk the living suitcases out of each other ( ◜‿◝ )♡

It got an official license, so it probably won't be worked on. It'll be out this fall though

Thanks so much! I'll get those added in
