This is how you assert dominance

aaaaaaaaand it got axed, quite hard as well I must say. Guess another one bites the dust

I waited a whole month for this?

This manga wasn't even yuri lol

I swear every single manga I've seen with the premise of people living together because of dead relatives has been very wishy washy and vague. Also ending had the very clichéd character moves out for no reason just so we could end in a time skip where they reunite. The premise is cursed.

I couldn't agree more. This issue they had really felt like an obstacle that they needed to overcome to flourish their relationship and to take another step forward. I truly thought that it would be a stepping stone forward to the story, I never expected the said obstacle to be the climax of their story and the rest to end on a speculation. The whole thing really ended on some sort of subtext romance or Shoujo ai

It's sad to see another promising manga to get axed and rushed to an unsatisfying ending

I was kinda wating for Ibu and Ena to get together for a chapter, oh well

Noooo, I want more! Pleased for the happy ending at least and a big thanks for translating this!

Isn't this ad saying that volume 9 will release this year? Beware of spoilers since it shows the cover of volume 7: https://twitter.com/k_tawao/status/1248483523243028480

So, from what I've seen the novel is at vol.8, correct? Is there any news surrounding vol.9 or for how long this novel will continue?

from what I've seen some people say vol.9 is said to drop this summer, but then again who knows if it'll happen and if that's true

This sure looks promising, thanks. Looking forward to it :)

I just get this big, wide smile on my face while I'm reading Itou Haci's work. Mostly because it's wholesome, but also because it's hilarious to read the comment section

These combo of tags are amazing, can't wait for more!

when Shimamura doesn't answer Tarumi's call

yes

when Shimamura immediately calls Adachi (and still ignoring Tarumi's call)

YES

I never noticed it until now but it seems like both of them did an express shave since they clearly had pubic hair at page 48/49 but at 50/51 it's completely gone, not a single trace. Impressive I'd say ;)

Damn, I really got addicted now. Had like 5 chapters to plow through did them all in a day or two and now when I finished the latest one I can only crave more! It's just so sweet how this story is progressing, can't wait for what to come next.

Thanks a lot for your hard work, both you @sneikkimies and the people QC'ing it

This feel like an anticlimax where they build up a NSFW story just to end it SFW

Looks like we're in the golden age of "Age gap"

2014: Adult life Marriage
2019: Age gap Lolicon

Looks like Itou Hachi has completed her character arc.

And that's a good thing

Itou Hachi is the hero we deserve, but not the one we need right now

I'm really confused here. Was there some sort of flashback between chapter 12 and 14?

I can see the paintrain coming, how long will this ride last?

When thinking about pacing, something to bear in mind: so far the new manga has used twice as many pages to adapt equivalent material.

But the anime adaptation is going to be based on the novel, not this manga

How come so many liked the "alien"? I found it incredibly annoying and didn't really bring the plot forward. I personally hopes that the anime as well makes the same smart choice as this manga and just writes around it

Kino can only be enjoyed by patricians. Plebeians aren't ready for Kino, as they would have trouble picking up on the subtle sociological themes & masterfully-executed yet intentionally-mistransmitted messages that always seem to fly right over lesser minds undetected

Kino sure is one tough gal

So sweet

As long as they drop all the unnecessary drama and "lesbo of the month" cliché. It'll be just fine

It can't be lolicon if both are kiddos!! one has to be older, I think older than 18?
That's called "Age-gap"
