Well this is one way to get the story back on track! Also her coworkers are hilarious, love em

A quick update: I'm only posting this on here for right now, so this is the place I'll do the update I guess lol

I pushed myself to finish this one quick cause I'm going on vacation soon, for a few weeks. I'll keep trying to work on the translation while I'm there but they wont be as quickly put out as these two chapters were

I also dont wanna burn out lmao

Thanks for your work so far, have a fun vacation

The latest was updated not even 3 hours ago, y'all don't sleep this is crazy

In my timezone, she posts around 8/9 AM so it's not like I don't sleep.

And this one wasn't that complicated to do.

Still! It's impressive work either way! (And I meant more a metaphorical sleep, in that you did not rest before translating and uploading this)

Oh wow

Mission failed successfully!!

Oh Diana is getting a lot more complex that before. That's a little too much excitement in paying those girls back. I liked how she was cute and childish previously but I have to say the expressions in this one hint at stuff that's going to add some more layers

Happy international women's day to these two idiots in particular, glad they finally got together ❤️

Ah yes, what the fuck am I reading, my beloved tag that I dread but still always click

Thank you to everyone whose effort kept this long series translated for the past decade, right to the end

The ammonite museum couple is precious and I want to visit now myself!

does any one know how many more chapters to come ?

Little did they know in 2013...

I'm sorry, but these highschool girls being real into Aerosmith brings me out of it lol. But at the same time, for these weirdos? I can see it.
cute chapter, only wish I had more...

where the hell are you people going to high school that suddenly your high school girls stopped listening to rock? (i graduated in 2021, the grunge freaks are Everywhere)

girls into rock for sure, but the people I knew that were real into rock were more RHCP or Nirvana or maybe The Doors. Aerosmith occupies the "lame dad band" section of my music categorization brain (as opposed to a "cool dad band" like Pink Floyd), and I think that was to some degree the consensus in that crowd.

I think you guys are approaching this from a western, super familiar with them approach. If you hadn't grown up with buttrock radio stations and dads playing them, you wouldn't have that sort of association with the band.

I don't think I've ever so desperately wanted to see a next chapter

Welp.

I guess I used up my monkey's paw wish with that one

I don't think I've ever so desperately wanted to see a next chapter

Dm me on Discord Orange Pekoe#0863, shoot me an email, or give us any contact info (Twitter is fine) to do our due diligence. Thank you.

Edit: Nevermind, it wasn't hard to find. Looking into it now, thanks again!

Okay, to make sure it was fruitdemons on Twitter, thank you

An artist I follow on twitter is quite upset to see their art being reuploaded here, is there any procedure they could do to get it removed?

Okay the last chapter has me sold with the music store girl acting smooth at school without thinking and the gyaru picking up on the vibes. Also I love when a series is obviously a way for the writer to talk about something a bit niche they enjoy. The style is great too, has a real rock show flyer feeling with the bright green and black and white

Is this super contrived and convenient? Yep
Do I love it anyway? Also yep

As for all the European saying 'wait is that even legal?' the answer is 'maybe'. If the building needs urgent repair and can't be lived in, that's a just cause for eviction, which the author appears to be invoking with the construction mention. Japanese tenant laws are pretty strong in the matter overall and in spite of how often it comes up in manga, you are supposed to get a half year notice for anything that isn't a few specific urgent cases. They do not, though, have to help you relocate. But let's be honest, the real reason is to justify them moving in together even though the OL has a job and apartment. Wouldn't be surprised if she lost the job somehow too for 'reasons' in a later chapter

You know I have the terminal gay because when I read this chapter and was confused at first why anyone would assume the first love was a boy.

My prediction is that one dear to her that taught her how to cook was the one who betrayed her. She doesn't remember what she looks like but the reason she gravitated towards the MC was because the MC bears striking resemblance to her (possibly even a reincarnation and/or descendent). That's also where the "I'll never forgive you" comes from. She'll never forgive her old lover for betraying her but can't help but still feel fond memories towards her which she puts on the MC

Almost certainly the case. There's several version of this ghost story but one has it that the wife of her master/lady of the house actually broke the plate and then accused her of it, causing her death. The plate pieces were down the well from where the woman tossed them, making the betrayal especially obvious. Our exorcist looks like this woman if the flashbacks are any indication so yeah, I can see why our ghost can't forgive her, even if she only subconsciously realizes the reason she's drawn to the exorcist.

can't believe i lived to see tadokoro-san turning into hentai

Given the authors previous works, I'm surprised it took as long as it did. I was quite shocked when I found out what they used to make. Bonnari is the alias they went under. I will warn you. It may ruin the image you have of them. It didn't ruin it for me. People have different tastes, and I can enjoy a work even if the artist draws/drew things that aren't to my liking.

The expressions during sex in all of the Bonnari stuff is just so over the top it's more comedy to me than it is actual hentai. Like, if people thought the sex in Tadokoro-san is a bit over the top, man, that Bonnari stuff is on a whole other level. Also significant amounts of penis without any male characters.

I honestly thought the expressions in Tadokoro-san hinted at a hentai background so I looked it up and god I'm so happy the artist has been so restrained???

Cigarette Kiss reads like shoujo manga, author?? My dude, what shoujo have we been reading differently?? Though having no preconceptions about what yuri manga are like from reading a lot of yuri is probably why I found a lot of these stories very refreshing in their presentation

I guess Kageko-san hasn't read any doujin ...

I was wondering how they were going to portray the masked assassin and I'm very happy, just enough hints about their identity in the future without it screaming out
