Her NICKNAME is a combination of ニート (NEET) and 子(ko: child/girl) = ニー子 (Neeko). Her real name, as seen on the cover, is 新戸眠子 (Niito Nemuko).

Read more carefully before making accusations, please.

Whether or not it's her nickname, "ニー子" would not be romanized as "Neeko." I don't think I need to explain to you why. ニ is always "ni," phonetically and in all of the accepted transliteration systems. Anyone with any familiarity with reading Japanese names would read "Neeko" as the same sound as "ネー子", onee-san, etc.

It's not an accusation, it's a statement of fact.

I'll say it again, NEEKO is a combination of ニート (NEET) and 子(ko). NEET is spelled Niito in Japanese. Her nickname being like that is a reference to her being a NEET.
Besides, anyone who knows how NEET is read, both in English and Japanese, will read her name exactly the same way it is written in Japanese, Nii-ko, hence ニー子. Nobody will read it as ネー子.

This doesn't look like it necessarily merits the most careful of translations, but based on the cover page her name should be "Niiko". "Neeko" would be ネー子

I'm guessing we have to somehow contact GiB to tell the Dynasty mods that they have dropped it, and let STAN upload all the chapters since chapter 4 here.

I believe you can get to either Raizoo or Shimapanda through Twitter

Kinda rude to ask this, but can you do it for me?

Speaking as someone who headed up a /u/ scanlation of Kase-san when YP stalled on it, that sounds pretty dumb. Is it the Dynasty mods/uploaders or GiB we need to reason with to get this stuff up on here?

Something something about because Girl-in-Boxes never said they have abandoned, so it's still officially their project, so nobody else can upload new chapters of this here.

Chapter 14 is up (on Batoto) by the way.

Admittedly it's not entirely clear with Mochi's art style, but I think the customer who was behind Kanata in the line at the video rental store looks more like Asane. That would also support the theory of the customer hitting on the employee being Haru, since it would mean the sisters went to the store together.

This is Haru.

Won't you upload Cheery Amnesia here?

I tried that 4 times lol. For some reason, Dynasty Scan won't accept it.
Already translated and uploaded to Bato.to up to chapter 9.

I'm Stan, and I think now would be the right time to tell ya'll that... Apparently, Mochi also made some extra pages and chapters for this series, but all of them are exclusive to DIFFERENT online bookstores and retail stores.
So yeah........ I won't be able to get to them any time soon.

I don't suppose anyone noticed it was Tsubomi who dumped the older sister in the first page?

Meh, I'm on the "dud train" with this one too. For as long as it is, so very little happens, especially compared to the usual Mochi stories. I don't think the length added anything to some pretty one-dimensional characters. She rolled out all the tired old tropes here - the "should two girls be doing this," the "what are these feels?, " the "I'm ok if you'll have me," etc. And the yuri at the end is kinda perfunctory and robotic. It's not clear at all why the kouhai should be attracted to the senpai, since as far as we can tell her only redeeming quality is that she shows up to practice.

All that aside, even if she can't stand up for herself face to face, since it's the first years' responsibility to clean up can't she just drop the mop, walk out, and let them take the heat? And more than that, isn't Tsukioka a first year, so shouldn't she have had to clean up anyway and is not exactly doing a special favor by helping?

This was my thought too when I was translating it, almost gave up half way because I hated Tsukioka's forceful character so much, but decided to finish it anyway because my friend wanted to read it.

"Quoi!?"
I knew it.
But well, since I'm just reading this thanks to you, I can't really say anything... so, thank you translating.

Hah!
Don't worry. I had enough fun.
Won't be a next time, promise.

The problem with translations on danbooru:

Be translator.
Translate 「はぁ」 as "Que!?" rather than the standard "Wha-!?".
Don't get called out on your shit.

I was wandering about the "Que!?" as well (this also means "what!?" in my language)... now everything makes sense.

Let the translator have a little fun too, yo! I've been waiting to use that line for ages!
