Funnily enough lil sis has a higher chance of getting her sister's attention by starting to date MC since big sis has a thing for taken women xD

True but it does have the risk that big sis will then go for Yanagi instead.

Lmao yeah that's probably what would happen if the author actually decides to go the ntr route xD

If there was just some of the sweet coupley moments with Mei showing the little bit of emotions like she had in this extra sprinkled throughout Citrus+ there wouldn't be nearly as many people complaining about the series.

Mehhhh whether or not it is true incest or something similar to "My Sister's Best Friend, My Lover," I'm overall pretty bored with this direction because it's annoying how the center of the conflict is Aki once again. Love Aki, but I'm ready to move on from her. I also feel this direction is doing Miki a total disservice to her character. First time we ever get some deeper look into her character and it's bogged down to being a siscon.

Hate to break it to you but Miki has been characterized as a siscon from day 1 xD Being "a little obsessed over her onee-chan" is her no.1 personality trait and right after than comes being a supportive friend. So if anything this direction is consistent her character (we just didn't know what form her obsession exactly had before).

Personally I'm a fan of this development. We already know that Aki x Shiho is the endgame, so without the "danger" of the full-on incest route (which understandable some ppl would dislike) playing it out this way makes for much more interesting expression of depth for her character than "just" being jealous of having to share her sisters attention, spoiled kid style

I know that she's always been a siscon since day 1 that's why this development is disappointing. Like yay we get a deeper look into Miki and it's just something we already knew but now it's "serious". That's why she's bogged down to being the siscon. It just further reinforced that as her #1 personality trait.

Because we know there's no danger to Shiho x Aki is why this storyline feels pointless. Like we all know how this plot is gonna go so it just feels like waiting out for Miki inevitably moving on from being too attached to her sister. We already have an amazing series that explores everything I could ever want from that type of conflict (My Sister's Best Friend, My Lover) so it feels redundant to me lol.

Beautiful chapter. Really satisfying end to Shion's arc. Loved how they handled the whole conversation.

This was really well done. Like everyone else I also loved the composition

Fun start so far. Looking forward to more.

Wow Noir! I need to do a rewatch of all the Bee Train girls with guns anime

Dude no one asked for the spoilers and it's not like the chapter translations are even taking all that long. Please delete your post.

If you must talk about stuff that hasn't been translated yet, I rather you just post your theories under spoilers instead of a straight up summary. Seriously what is the point of posting them when you're not going to get the discussion you'd like here anyway.

You only have yourself to blame Koto

The little extras make the ending even better after the extra chapter. Love the little glimpses into their dating life.

Thanks for translating this series! Loved it since the first chapter and it's definitely made its way to becoming one of my faves that I'll keep revisiting through the years.

Ayaka also showed up in chapter 38, before the vol. 8 extras came out. Bit of a Chekhov's gun, heh https://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/whispering_you_a_love_song_ch38#17

Now what I'm questioning is was this a mistranslation because it says swimming club in ch 38, but the latest chapter, they're obviously in the wind instrument club or something. I remember being confused reading the latest chapter, but just thought I misremembered the swimming club bit xD

I kinda groaned at the developments in the new chapter because ONCE AGAIN Aki is at the center of the new drama (can someone give her a break lol), but as long as it doesn't drag on as long as the previous arc, I can roll with this being a fun lil side arc.

But here most people seems to like cheating story like this, the drawing is good, also maybe the author make it looks so romantic that's why it seems not trashy to them.

Nah it's still trashy to us, but we're reading it because it's a big trashy mess.

Yup definitely a yuri story from the early 2010s

The constant tone shift between Mashiro's serious expressions/statements to Makino's unserious ridiculous reactions are comedy gold. Love this series

Lmao seeing the age gap tag I thought this was going to be an AU story xD. Fun use of the tag though. I love NakaYoshi uwu

Rip Ruika's fans. Feelsbad for all their hard earned cash going down the gutter.

in this thread we have Koto x Erika fans and Koto x Aya fans, but is anyone else an Aya x Erika fan?

Me me me! I've been shipping them since ch 1 lol. If they ever got together they'd totally be power couple material.

Actually, rereading the chapter a few times I don't think Mona is actually telling Shion to literally "dump" her problems on Kiki and that statement was just Mona calling Shion out on how she said Kiki was the only person who saw her for who she was.

Mona prefaces that scene with "what am I to you?" so I think it's more like a "How dare you say Kiki is the only one who sees your true self when you've only told these selfish feelings to me? If you truly believe you can be your true self around Kiki, then you better dump these feelings on Kiki too!" It's more of a frustrated rant from Mona comparing who actually "sees" Shion's true self than advice (although I do think in the overall convo Mona is still telling Shion to open up more in general and talk to Kiki to work out their problems).

Yeah. I think fixating on Mona's exact phrasing is a mistake here. She is not giving Shion therapeutic advice, but releasing her own frustrations that she has been pushing down until now. I'm sure Shion takeaway is just that she should clear things up with Kiki, not that she has been using the wrong girl as an emotional dumping ground.

Lol whoops just realized you pretty much said the same thing but in less words xD

I absolutely loved this chapter. Shion and Mona's relationship has always been my main interest in this series and I loved how all their short tense scenes throughout the series finally exploded into the wonderfully told confrontation here. So so satisfying to see Mona finally say what she's been feeling and also following her own advice to Shion about being selfish for once. Also very satisfying to see Shion let out her raw emotions after restraining them for so long. It's a good step forward for both of them and I can't wait to see how their relationship progresses from here.

The flash to the pic of Kiki's sister and her ex-partner and fiance(?). Maybe a love triangle of the past? From how she's fiddling with the ring I'm assuming she still has feelings for her ex-partner...I wonder how much the author is gonna delve into this since they already talked a little about her sister's unrequited feelings in past chapters.

The idea of "closure" these series propose has always been selfish to me but maybe that's my hangup.

I think that was precisely what Mona was getting at.
Her whole point is that being selfish and doing selfish things is just something people do. That being in love with someone (and thus projecting their feelings onto them) is inherently selfish to some extent.

She also never says that it doing so isn't wrong, or that she shouldn't feel bad at all, which i feel is important. Just that nobody is a saint and Shion shouldn't wallow in self-hatred like she's the worst person ever just bc she's, y'know, acting like people do.

The impression I got was that Mona now wants Shion to vent her frustrations, how she felt and how she still feels to Haruma and to do so for closure. So they would be continuing that selfish act, rather than avoiding it. That's what my response was focused on.

That kind of thing is unnecessary to me and serves mostly to make the venter feel better at the expense of someone they claim to care for, yet many series treat the act like a good thing. I'd rather (and still hope) that she continues talking with Mona (who is trying her best to show her worth to Shion), comes to terms with her feelings together, and then meets Haruma after she's overcome her issues. She doesn't need to trauma dump on Haruma, for "closure."

I don't think Shion necessarily needs to or should "trauma dump" on Haruma, but she definitely needs to talk to Haruma because Haruma herself wants to know what is going on. I don't think in this particular situation "closure" is a bad thing for two people who want to repair their relationship. As it is right now, I think it is way worse for Haruma, who also has really low self esteem, to think she did something wrong for Shion to break off their friendship than it is for her to find out it's because of Shion's unrequited feelings and guilt.

So good to see Aya moving forward with a clearer path. I'm also so happy she found someone to relate to with the whole middle school dropout issue.

Koto needs to learn to move forward too instead of stifling Aya's growth out of her own selfish fears.

Bro the childhood friend has no chance after that backstory lol

Erika is best girl, ever since chapter 1. She is the most interesting character out of the three (probably because we have gotten the most insight to her as a person) and I really hope she gets her happy ending (not with Koto).
