Then she should be 17 at the beginning of the manga since school year begins in April and manga starts between autumn and winter of her first year of high school (remember Ayako saying about a lot of work because it's a change of seasons?) I'm sure that it was between autumn and winter specifically because after some time confession happened, Asuka got sick and stayed home during New Year. Then a new semester started, enter Akira, Asuka is still 16. She turned 17 around the time of the wedding (and I just remembered that we made a double mistake on page 2 of volume 6 extra which we never fixed - actually Asuka is 17 here and Ayako is 38).

Soo... since we all waiting here let's have a serious discussion: one of the Russian readers picked up on something that could be a major inconsistency regarding Asuka's age. If she is 15 during her winter of the second year of middle school, she can't be 16 throughout all winter of her first year of high school. Especially if she is a Taurus (birth date between April 21 and May 21), right?

Could it be there's a small mistranslation here?

They say "winter of the second year of high school" but everything they talk about actually happened to Asuka in her second year of middle school.

You are right, sorry about that. But on the other side I'm really glad that people reading all this bulk of text properly.

Vol 8 page 8 we have Kuwabara that's awesome!

Next Volume have Inui Ayu as a guest artist!

I would like to write my dissertation on Taiyaki's inability to properly number chapters. Geez.

Maybe I should clarify that the numbers Taiyaki gives to her chapters are not always the same as the numbers given to them on this site:

"Chapter 6.1: +α"
Chapter 6+α
"Chapter 8.1: +α"
Chapter 8+α
"Chapter 8.2: +β"
Chapter 8+β
"Chapter 10: +α"
Chapter 10+α
"Chapter 10: +β"
Chapter 10+β
"Chapters 13.1; 13.2"
Chapters 13-1; 13-2
"Chapter 13.1: +α"
Chapter 13-1+α
"Chapters 13.3; 13.4; 13.5"
Chapters 13-3; 13-4; 13-5
"Chapter 13.55"
Chapter 13-5 (second half)
"Chapter 13.56: Volume 7 Extras"
Volume 7 Extras
"Chapters 13.6; 13.6 (second half)"
Chapters 13-6; 13-6 (second half)
"Chapter 13.6: +a"
Chapter 13-6+α
"Chapters 16.1; 16.2; 16.3"
Chapters 16-1; 16-2; 16-3

Also while I'm at it - why is there only empty space above Chapter 15 instead of "Volume 9" inscription?

Btw someone correct me if im wrong, but didnt taiyaki at some point basically confirm there was gonna be a sex scene ? I seem to remember someone mentioning that in here and linking the tweet

That's the fourth time this link being posted in this thread I think... But I guess it's that important.

I think we're probably pretty close to the end. Google Translate is terrible with Japanese, of course, but if I interpreted a couple of Taiyaki's tweets from a while back correctly, she's said that this volume will be the last one.

It would be unfortunate if we were this close to the end. Does anyone else know anything about this? I'm personally hoping the we get to see at least 2 volumes worth from this point. 1 volume for them to deal with the implications of their feelings, and another to act on their feelings and act like a couple.

I'm 99% sure that this volume can't be the last one since current chapter is the last "normal" chapter in it. Next we are going to have an extra chapter and then with volume release some extra pages, afterwords and usual staff. So we'll only see a continuation of the last scene in the new volume, what a joy!

For example we still don't know full details about [...] Miyuki's situation yet.

Taiyaki wrote that the story of Ogawa sisters will be told in separate spin-off.

Speaking of which I just remembered that we have a couple of extras still waiting to be released. Goggled Anon, are you fine with typesetting them too?

This would have to come right after a double-release of Watamote today...

Thtat's rather a reason to celebrate (for me, since I'm hardly doing anything except enjoying reading them).

Question, will you post raws Everytime? :)

When possible I mean? I am subscribed to taiyaki's pixiv but I lost my job due to virus and quarantined. Might not be able to pay it next month.

Since I'm banned on 4chan where I used to post raws for translation before, I kinda have to do it here now.

I read the first chapter a few years ago when it came out and ran away in disgust. Now I'm here, after binging the entire series [...]

I'm making a habit of asking this question: what changed your mind about reading it again?

I'm surprised that no one commented on Asuka having a habit of kissing sleeping Ayako on the lips since she was like... seven?

Thank you!

Are you planning on doing cleaning and typesetting this time too? Quality-wise I don't think your work in any significant way is inferior to that of /yuri/ anon.

And would you believe it, we have new (half) chapter already! I guess being late with releases has its own advantages.

Kept it as "mothers and daughters" cos it's already a touchy enough subject without getting daddies involved, at least without knowing where Akira's going with the conversation.

I'm not sure that it's a right decision to "soften" translation for this reason, but I'm leaving it up to you.

still missing "ha!" on page 8 frame 4.

maybe change "it's a serious illness" on page 8 to something like "a serious case here, I see"

RPPuzzle, could you please post my previous message on 4chan /u/ translation thread for Goggled Anon just in case?

and regarding this

Also I don't know why Akira is surprised that she's a lolicon when she "fell in love with" Atsushi, who was very young at the time.

Ayako was only about couple of years older than Atsushi when they married.

To Goggled Anon:

So I was banned on 4chan (again) and this time for real - for using proxy. Which is just fucking wonderful because in my fucking country I don't have access to 4chan without it. So from now on I guess I have to post all the matters regarding translation here if you don't have other ideas.

I forgot that I did some changes in your tl:
p2
rooms rental "my space"

p8
>I've committed a crime
I'm a criminal...

>What am I supposed to do as a human being?
What kind of human being I am?

>It's like the intro[...].
What kind of porn did I even borrow this line from?

Ha!

p10
>with mothers and daughters[...]
[the word Akira used is technically "parents and children" though?]

P.S. You are a hero for doing typesetting and cleaning too.

I'm dying... What job do type setters have? Is it literally just fitting the text into the bubbles? Or do they have to clean where Japanese wording is?

Cuz I am ready to take this position dammit if all it is is fitting text into bubbles. Hell I could probably help clean a few pages too! All I have is gimp, but should work .

Yeah, cleaning included too. Do you have experience doing it? Cause I'm (and others who work on this manga) pretty picky about quality (sadhomu82 could vouch for that).

Oof high quality eh? Maybe I should practice on some raws... I don't have any formal experience though. Just some informal. Where can I see some raws and try it out?

/u/ translation thread have links to a lot of raws (including last 1 x1/2 chapter). You can clean a couple of pages and then show them there too for quality assessment (I should probably warn you that anons there are pretty harsh critics).

New chapter up and super short. Hopefully we can get English translation sooner.

Current typesetter is busy with other projects so I wouldn't recommend getting your hopes up. Also it's half a chapter as usual.
