3+ years and 97 chapters for the the most lewd act in human history... The HANDHOLDING.

The mom and auntie Ren definitely come across as exes, it seems like they on relatively good terms though which is nice.

I think that should be the case, yeah. Taking the elements we have and filling in the gaps with the simplest possible explanations in a Ockham's razor-y kind of way, I end up with something like this:

1) Mom and auntie Ren were lovers in college.
2) Mom dumped auntie Ren because, y'know, the usual reasons: "Gotta stop playing around, gotta grow up, gotta do my filial duty, gotta marry and have children!"
3) Mom married some guy and had Youzi. Then she divorced him because she's a lesbian and having to put out for him sucked big time and she couldn't take it anymore.
4) Mom became a famous actress, Ren became a famous singer.
5) They meet again (partly thanks to Youzi) and Ren finds out that mom is living alone and raising her kid by herself... and that she often sings to Youzi the secret love song she and Ren wrote together while in college.

Present time, Youzi suspects that mom and auntie Ren still love each other but are silly & useless about it. Maybe mom also feels guilty for hurting Ren before and feels she doesn't deserve to get her back.

This are my best guesses given the evidence we have.

Agree with everything except for 2/3 as we have no evidence for that. Could be right, but from what we know in manga it says Ren went abroad for many years (in the flashback when Youzi is 6 years old, Ren says she came back a month ago). So whatever happened between them to break up could be either before Ren left(causing her to leave), because she left, or after she left. And for now I didn't see anything to suggest either of those is the way it was.

Does this even need age gap tag? For all we know, Hiyori might be high school senior and for Akira, we know she is a college student. She might be a 2nd year or smt making their difference like 2 years. Its said she is waiting for Hiyori to join her at the same university.

Page 48 is kinda spooky. The way their teeth are drawn in the middle of an opened mouth felt very unnatural from that perspective. Outside of that really cute.

I've had a hearing loss my whole life and the number of people who have claimed it wasn't real always befuddled me. I never understood why they thought that. It never occurred to me it that it might be because they can't see it. I figured it was just my bad luck I ran into so many people like that so I'm surprised to see this phenomenon described in this manga.

It's interesting to hear to me, cause hearing loss is pretty common among older people (especially partial). It would probably be different in school setting or smt, but its actually really surprising to me that people wouldn't believe it.

Or maybe I just got lucky that I never met people who would be that ignorant to others...

I do not get what happened in the manga ,can someone explain it to me?

So they fell in love, right? But, they didn't know what to call it and the MC wasn't sure if the other girl felt what she felt, especially since she didn't really know what that was.
And then this boy came along with a crush on her, right? And it turned out her "friend" was so jealous she had to steal and shred all his love letters to keep him away from her. And finding out, MC was like "OH! She REALLY CARES!" and knew this was who and what she really wanted.

As I understood the other girl understands she is in love with MC. She just doesn't tell MC about it openly. Meanwhile MC, being not the most insightful person goes on about being "friends" and not understanding the feeling.

Wait, all this time they weren't dating?
Even when they went to a love hotel, they weren't dating?

I am pretty sure starting with "A Story About a Cool Girl, Who Is Popular With the Same Sex, Meeting With a Girl Who Taught Her What Love Actually Means" it started an arc, a flashback from their first meeting to now confession.

On here they are just put in order of release date, not in chronological order (my guess is that it started with several different short stories and then author decided to draw some story to add to it but who knows).

Less SFX than expected ... for now.

So who is going to interrupt?
a) Mom (probably then telling them to continue)
b) a maid
c) mom & maids listening to the door and the door falling in
d) a rival attacking
e) something else
F) Nobody

Should be either a or c by how this manga usually goes. They already have approval of Tadokoro mom, so Sakurako mom is up next, especially since she was just introduced last chapter.

where are the updates?

apparently this story has been censored by Ch*na. any lgbt-related works that gets reported will be taken down immediately. so that's probably why it hasnt gotten any updates

https://velvetrouge(.)tumblr(.)com/post/169814029146/regarding-the-issue-of-the-manhua-publication-i

just remove the (). no wonder the updates has only been about the dudes now. this fuckin sucks.

It's much more broad than that as well.

Current rules seem to be so strict you can't make games or any fictional products anymore without taking a huge risk. It's not just about LGBT stuff either. Violence is suspect. History is suspect. No sci-fi either, because it's probably somehow propaganda. Especially no time travel or alternative history.

China is going to level of censoring styles. They want characters gender to be immediately obvious. So for example, the tall tomboy girl here is kind of in that zone. So are the many fem-boy'ish characters in games, and tall girls who are kind of like "princes".

They are trying to make men "more masculine", both in reality and fiction. Which means ugly, non-stylish and unkept men in wife-beater shirts, with over-trained bulky muscles who look more like beasts of burden than humans. That is not going to help people to get laid, start a family and have kids, which is what this is all about ultimately.

So how is then there a decent amount of chinese manhuas still going on and being released (or at least they are being translated to english right now)? Do they not get caught? Or how does it work?

I hope there's an extra or somethin. Very weird, but I enjoyed it

it's not like it is over. This manga writes "end" after each chapter, doesn't mean that the series is over.

Communication is important, I'm glad they're deciding to talk about it

Don't forget this still could go on the route of misunderstanding, Akemi getting angry at her etc

I have no idea why that argument escalated so fast lol. They just were not listening to each other. That's important, kids!!

It de-escalated just as fast tho. Her wanting to go to med school is super sweet, too

From the start it is said that Mashiro hates the fact that she is ill and that prevents her from having "normal" type of fun. Like PE class etc. She is also shown very happy when she is able to.

So she got angry at Nagisa being over protective on top of feeling as if Nagisa doesn't want to spend time with her. That is how I understood this.

Pretty unusual setting (I don't think I have ever read something that focused on plants and farming. There is yamada and kase but that focuses waaaay less on technical side of things and is more about flowers etc), good development with developing proper backstory to most characters. Add some drama and this was actually a very good read. 10/10

Didn't read this since March and I am glad the mutual unrequitness went away.

Oh and Nao seems like a potential love interest!

Looks like we night get a love triangle in our smut. I can foresee a situation where Asumi sorta gives up on meeting her friend and falls for Nao, but on her final brothel visit before giving up prostitutes for good to date Nao she just happens to finally hire her friend. Drama (and/or a threeway) ensues

I agree on love triangle but I think it will be more along the lines of Nao falling Asumi (we are already shown she is at least overly aware of Asumi), she will suggest something lewd to Asumi, but since Asumi is such a pervert she will think of some foursome that keeps getting hinted at. That is my bet on what will happen further.

"You're my toy in an alternate-universe past where nothing I do affects the real me."

Idk why people think she should carw about alternative world herself. It is literally a different person.

Also I disagree with toy. MC is def perverted, but she does care about senpai, she just gets dissolved in her fantasies too often. But when senpai was feeling "bad", MC was concerned for her, she was happy to see senpai happy during their date. That def goes beyond being a toy.

I'm glad this doesn't have the incest tag because it would spoil the twist. And even though the twist itself is predictable, having a 20% to mind blow someone is better than 0%.

Ye it was kinda really obvious. Oh well sweet home alabama time i guess.

It is intersting to read a reverse of the usual scenario where the MC is attracted to someone, but the other person is oblivious/not interested in a relationship.

Something is wrong with this oneshot. I don't know if it is the original dialogues being weird with characters talking to each other in 3rd person constantly and talking about themselves as well in 3rd person (I know this is used as a child like trait sometimes but here literally every character does this), if it should be like that due to how those character are (since I don't actually know anything about Bang's Dream) or if it is maybe translation problem but i've needed to reread some of the lines multiple times as they didn't feel natural at all.

I'm impressed how her plums were confidently holding her phone.

Yeah, those are definitely some high level balancing skills.

This really seems like a yuri parody on One Piece. Not trying to be realistic one bit but pretty fun to read.

So either Ayano-San still has feelings for Touko and doesn’t want Akari to get in between so that’s why she might tell her things about Touko that will make her back away.
Or, she has something against Touko.. Or wants to “protect” Akari?
Idk Touko doesn’t seem like a bad person, just clumsy and maybe a bit slow. Can’t say for sure about the slow part because we still don’t know much about her past and how she was back then.

Anyways, looking forward to new chapters, thanks for the translations.

Hm, I thought it was more that she picked up Akari is in "love" in some sort of way even if it is platonic for now, by how she said she is happy living with Touko and by her reaction to when her exes got all clingy. So I thought she would give some sort of advise and be helpful

^Its not like they are doing anything tho! Kusanagi says she has to wait till she is 18- so I dont really see anything wrong atm.

doing or not ain't all the problem here. I just can't imagine how a 30 yo woman can see a 13 yo child as a possible partner in the future. what would an adult talk about with a kid? and just how waiting 5 years for a 18 yo (still) child could sound good? ain't there better options?
I just don't believe in a relationship 18/35. they seem unreal from my 28yo point of view
...
got kinda too serious and freaked myself out since I have young cousins -_-

...
42 she'll be 42 what the hell!!!11 XD how could I've missed that
well that's just more unbelievable))))
a 36 yo woman dreams of an 18yo lover in 5 years that's just rofl rly
I hope that's just fiction, right, Japan?... Japan?

Obviously idk about thinking about feelings towards 13 yo, but my grandfather and his wife have a huge age gap. They have 27 year age gap, but they met when my grandfather was 55 and she was 28. And they are still together 33 years later. But that is still kinds different from thinking about 13yo being 18 in 5 years.

When I read this, I can;t help but remember a oneshot where a girl had a disease making her not feel emotions and it was cured by her friend kabedoning her.

This somewhat reminded me of "Met My Sister on a Dating Site" minus the actual incest.
