Ah and Kanna totally knows what is going on hahaha, so she telling this to Aya, I doubt is not to provoke something in both of them

Okey~ I like this hahaha not only the problem "Who is Kanna?" got resolved easily but now the other issue about future is being confronted~ Interesting too the option Chizuru and Mao are taking and Aya being shocked by this hahaha, we never got Aya and Koga ideas for their future (not talking like a couple~) but from Aya reaction maybe it wasn't Uni first choice or is just shocked by Chizuru and Mao change of plans~

Don't know if it's going to be confrontation next chapter or we will have an "interlude" with one of them thinking about all these; but there are a few ways to take this; I mean, Aya and Koga they still didn't fully resolve the problem "talk to me, we are friends" or the author can choose the "the choice is still not taken, so still not talked about it". And both are okey since normally while studying I remember some of us already had plans for future and talked about it, some didn't or sometimes we didn't ask so it was a mistery, so it wasn't strange to find some surprise.

And I am like others that wish, in some way, Kanna can take both Koga and Aya in a vacation to LA to explore the idea before choosing hahaha

I really liked this chapter ~ it was a nice surprise that the previous "posible drama" was taken here like a fluffly comedy, tho I think this "drama" (Aya feeling down because of Kanna's presence) is not over, Im glad to see a "interlude".
And I really missed Narita hahaha I like how his chacter helps a lot in the relationship of both (I thought it would only count for Koga, but glad to see he supports Aya too), probably will come a time He won't be able to help them, but is always nice to see another characters worried about their friends/family in these cases~

"She's not alone" at the end ... think a touch of jealousy might start creeping in.

I hope she can reason it out if she realizes that Mitsuki isn't alone but decided to call her on a whim despite that

Yes, I mean, even if in that moment Kanna went another place; being in the other side of the phone, if I was with someone buying/just walking/etc, normally the first thing I would ask if I see them in the phone is if all is alright just in case, because calls normally are for when something happened; but if the answer is "oh I just wanted to talk to my friend because of an impulse".... My options are: 1-u think I will kidnap u or something? , 2 - u had a premonition? 3 - U have a crush symptom my friend xD

I will think this while Im out, because is something I didn't wanted to do since it could start a discussion that was closed before, the "this manga is or not yuri". But since Im seeing is was not fully close or it's starting to raise again.....

So I will think if to post the screenshot of the part in which this theme is talked in the interview, one of the reason why the author said (if it's true I didn't read the other interview) is "not yuri". To make something clear tho, that part is not about THIS manga, but all her career doing manga, but explains some things.

Only thing, if I do end posting it, just please dont make this a hell hahaha that the section has being mostly in peace for now and to not gave more work to translators and admins hahaha And that their word is final in what the interview really says. Im not a translator after all and what I read can be bad interpreted

without the excuse of publisher/government meddling smh

Haha, to me the recent chapters felt exactly like a publisher/editor suggesting some changes to the story or sentence structure to make it more in line with what they think their readers expect (which was a bit of a bummer because a part of what made me fall in love with this series was the lack of those).

I must say I had a feeling this could happen, all popular manga/comics, or well series, all really; have a chance to in some time being influenced and not necesary from a publiser, even pressure from the public. For the moment I don't have that impresion luckily

hey, do you guys know what’s the plot of the others moonlight magazine ?

Yeap~ but since I know the translator is busy and we have to give time to things being well made ( the magazines are physical so they take more time to polish), I will not tell~

Tho to not leave someone in a nervous state hahaha magazines are more fluffy, and not really important to main story, so easy and let enjoy what we have in the while~

Hmmm...as much as I love this series, I feel like it just keeps repeating the same dynamic without actually taking the story any further. I mean, sure a lot of stuff has happened in the last 18 chapters since Oosawa learned Mitsuki was a girl, but has any of it really mattered? I mean, if you read the latest chapter, would you really even be able to tell anything had happened since like, chapter 27? I just feel like the author is diverging in too many side stories to try and avoid developing the main two's relationships, which is a little annoying and also makes me nervous because where we are now, it's not that hard to imagine the author announcing that the story was never meant to be romantic, and was just supposed to portray a friendship. Just how I've felt lately reading the newest updates, idk.

In my opinion, yes, a lot happened since 27, info that is important and really matter; and is because of something we/Narita/Aya were asking for a while, even before Aya discovered Koga is a girl: "why she dont show herself at school how she really is". If someone just stops at 27 and tries to spoil themselfs (hi me, 100% of the times haha) and just jumps at the last chapter, wouldn't know all this, why Koga acts like this. And at my point of view, is really important in their relationship, is to really got to know the person who u call friend (u are interested in); if not, is how Aya was feeling; "it's is just a stranger".

So in conclusion~ for me the side stories are not really full side stories, beacause all make sense since it directs the attention to this, plus it's gives lifes to secondary characters, something I really appreciate, since in romance mangas normally is full couple and looks like family or friends doesn't exist hahaha

This implies that Hiroko has slept with women she's found attractive in the workplace before...SO THEN WHAT THE FUCK IS THE POINT OF THIS MANGA

This one offhand comment single handedly destroys the entire backbone of the story. If Hiroko is such a womanizer and jumps at the chance to sleep with a cute girl, WHY HAS SHE BEEN AVOIDING AYAKA SO DAMN MUCH!?

Tho probably is a rhetorical question and I'm reading it literally (wrong of me)~ I will just say: all that is explained later. *goes back to the shadows(?

Okey, I just bought the magazine with the interview, I can't read it full because again, my japanese is -10 (? hahaha but I did it to confirm how long that interview was. It's 5 pages xD, so let's say that phrase is nothing compared to the sea of words the interview has hahaha
Ah! an interesting thing, after the interview they put from chapter 1 to 4 but~~ in greyscale~ it really change without the green, ju!

Edit: Found it~ yeap is true, the phrase is there in the interview, context? no idea hahaha Im too bad to know what it says hahaha

I like the replies because Im learning some things, plus it incentivated me to search more of the words for "love" in japanese~

But yes, I want to clearify that again just in case someone sees this. The phrase we are talking can be fake (Im not fluent in japanese nor have seen the interview); it's one I saw in a comment under the japanese comment section with these " "; and the comment was only saying that they liked the phrase and me too, mostly because (if it's true) I like this mentality of the author.

So yeah, even if it's true, is totally out of context, can even be talking about the author herself or anything that has no context with the manga.

Will use the the spoiler even if it's not spoiler at all, to avoid things hahaha but if someone is just curious, it's about the most recent interview done to the author; just a phrase someone took from there.
So! 1- can be can easily out of context, 2- can be fake, 3- Im not even close to fluent japanese, so if u read the spoiler dont take it seriously please.

“ロマンスじゃない愛情” I saw this and don't know why it sounds so cute hahaha it says something like "it's not romance, is love; maybe in the context asking about the manga like an all or the specify about aya and koga? Either way I like the idea of a manga not about "romance" but "love", I know it's taken mostly like a two things that go together, but I like that idea of "love" more than romance, it's sound more sweet? raw maybe? I don't know but just wanted to write about that hahaha

that moment where Aya sees Mistuki speaking English and everything and realizes that she really doesn't know that much about her hit me kinda hard idk why. But I hope Aya takes this as an opportunity to get to know her better! And the fact that Mitsuki still dropped everything to walk her home was really sweet ;-;

Same here, really glad for that move that Koga did or could easily transform in a drama/angst moment :p

And I think what Aya felt there is something similar to what Koga have been feeling constantly, that "exclusion" feeling, because (from my point of view) not only touch the " I still dont know her", which for Aya was "okey, I will try to be more close to her!"; but at the same time that derived in "ah, not only I dont know her, but this is totally different from what I normally see" (a stranger), like the manga show it, there was a "cut of spaces", a difference of "" lifes "". So yeah....pretty hard hahaha

Yes the "your Uncle still comes here often?" is what makes me think it's been a while since Kanna been there/talked with Joe

Mmmm Idk if bite that "K + J" in last page and say/think Kanna is (Joe) Uncle' ex....Could be just that "obvious" with that, but at this point Idk hahaha I trying to avoid a Narita case again but already bite the "bad/evil vibe from her introduction" and now she is pretty chill hahaha Tho I thought it was about to be hostile to Aya honestly :p

Hmm, my favorites would be the ones with side characters, so Autumn and Winter. I also can't wait for everyone to read Rhythm B, it explains so much

Same about that extra chapter! And yes, I always liked how the author worked with side characters, even with only 4 pages, for me, they are really good included and the relationship they have

The chapter releasing today was such a nice surprise.
@Hamshams I know the feeling lol.

Indeed, I ended today's work and pop! here it was hahaha And tho is not spoiler, I will put it occult to no provoke anything(?; but my favorite is in this order:

Winter, Spring, Summer and Autumn. Summer was about to be first but there is something between Spring and Winter that just sold me hahaha

For me all here have a really straight explanation; look that blush, obviuosly is from a bath Aya took before the scene, and that daydream when they slightly touched shoulders? pff Aya was looking the clothes for sure, like "ooh look that fine piece of clothes, will ask later where I can buy one too". And that blush thinking about a photo with her Oshi? ha! besties things, pls

Now leaving this behind that not even historians believe; I know hand holding is a millenary technique no many can archive, but Aya will not survive at one of those right? hahaha Koga just existing beside her is giving her gay panics hahaha

PD: Can't express how happy I am right now that people can see the magazines too; I was about to put a mirror in front of me so I had someone I could scream with(?

Since I finished my work early and others things, plus now I have daylight and not the artificial light night~ I did a re-take of the scans, not good quality but a sightly~ better, just a bit. I don't think I can do better than that so... sorry... If no one can do a better scan I have already scanned the Spring and Autumm magazines. I have 2 pdfs, the images separately and all that in two rar too, just in case.

Again only will give them to the translator

Well......I tried to scan the Spring magazine, is really bad quality indeed hahaha but like last resort I had that, and can do the same with the Autumm magazine. But will only gave it to the translator

@Hamshams, the description seems familiar to something cranscape already wrote above, I wonder if it's the same extras.

Yeap!! is exactly that. Sorry for the confusion, I was just trying to add more info hahaha

I was looking at the magazines again and (tho pretty obvious, just me I didn't think it sooner) they are indeed in correlation (Spring Summer Autumm Winter I mean, not the main story) I think. Spolier:

The spring magazine shows Aya with the new camara and her wanting to take a photo together, Summer and Autumm are a photo of Aya (Summer) and Koga (Autumm) taken separatetly, and finally Winter is when Aya got the chance to be in a photo together with Koga

Im working these days full, but after that I will try to scan them (Spring and Autumm right?) and see the quality my cellphone can reach. I will later inform about that

@cranscape are you trying to collect the bonus pictures? I have one from the ebook, I don't think it was posted on twitter (I added the author's signature below just in case)

https://i.imgur.com/flSMtoa.png

That is so cute! May my collectionist soul hurt, I like that each version has their unique illustration/magazine, don't why but I like that, it's like each one is special it's way; tho again it hurts my collectionist impulse hahaha

It was really well made, right? I have one to read and one for the shelf. I'm hoping an English version is at least close to that print quality, but I'm not sure what publisher to be hoping for.

Absolutly well made, and I have the same thinking about an English version, tho here only from Spain is what we got....not to be bad about that editorials, they do really good prints but.....this one? this one is TOO different from what we normally recive.....

I think two of the booklets were still needed to be scanned. Spring and Autumn. Not sure if you have a public library with a scanner available. Still a little mad I didn't get all of them myself when I had the chance. I was able to sell off the extra books easily so in retrospect I should have just gone all the way even if I ended up with cough number of additional books in the process.

*cries for not even have a library in the zone(?) I got the alll the magazines, won't lie, it cost....a lot, I even waited 1-2 days to see other offers but I saw what was happening, no one having the 4, Autumm magazines that I tried to buy apart, sold in hours; so yeah....just jumped and take it hahaha

Scan issue....I only have a cellphone.... all that is public scanners are gone now, ours broke years ago and we couldn't afford another
