I found the amateur translation better than the translation at Dynasty.

self-employed translator here (not from Japanese though), cannot attest the translation accuracy but for sure Kusoshop translation looks more informal, easier for English-born readers/speakers to understand, more relatable to them that is, 4s seems to translate word by word which is not wrong since they're simply following the original text, again I do not translate for Japanese so cannot attest its accuracy, just my two cents from 5 years of experience

It's rather the opposite, Kusushop is more literal and closer to what the Japanese says while 4s takes a fairly amount of liberties in some parts for localization and flow or so it seems.

That's the feeling I get too. I did like a couple of lines more in the KS version, but overall it feels like the 4s translation reads better.

This is my personal bliss, this proves anyone who thought Yuu was ace was not right! they had the sex. It was satisfying to read this chapter.

Don't ace people have sex?
I thought that they did it, not for the act itself but for the emotional bond that it represents, specially considering that ace isn't the same as aro

Am i wrong?

Ace people can have sex, they just don't feel any sexual attraction to anyone (which Yuu does, and she makes that clear when she's thinking about what to ask for the bowling prize).

Aro people can also have sex, and they do feel the sexual attraction, but not the romantic and emotional bond thing.

Edit: thinking about it now, it would be more accurate to describe Maki as aro, rather than ace.

Someone mentioned that there’s another person who is always third, so it would be funny to see them win in the end.

I don't know if that would make much sense Sayaka-wise. Maybe Touko's more relaxed about her studies now that she's let go of the pressure of being perfect, but we don't really see any such change in Sayaka. And given this is Nakatani-sensei, we'd probably need a whole story arc focusing on Sayaka before something big like that happens to her. Maybe in one of her spinoffs, if Nakatani-sensei decides to write about Sayaka's future.

Guys, you need to tone down on the passive-aggressive stuff. It's just a manga.

The penguin thing gives me life ♥ I'm definitely an unidentified being ♥♥♥

I see nothing happened in here as usual. Dynasty is always the last to upload the new chapter.

Dynasty uses the 4s translation for YagaKimi, and 4s hasn't released chapter 44 yet.

Well, yes, I understand what top, bottom, and switch are. (I am personally a switch, it depends on who I'm with what I end up preferring.) I think I worded what I meant, poorly. I meant it as that roles are not always so black and white. And in my personal experience--meaning that I understand my experience may not hold true for others--lesbian relationships tend to be a little more easygoing than het ones when it comes to who tops who.

Yeah, you kind of sounded as if everyone is a switch. I understand that in sex, nothing is ever black and white, and things such as roles aren't set in stone. So terms like "top"/"bottom" are much more general concepts that are useful when discussing sex, rather than rules.

As for what Touko and Yuu are going to be, that's anyone's guess. What each of them really prefers isn't explicitly said in the story, so whatever theories we come up with are bound to be headcanons at best.

I think the reason why I see Yuu as top is because I relate to her in that respect on several occasions. And I think I see Touko as a bottom mostly because she's so shy. But like I said, neither is necessarily canon.

There's this other thing called "being a switch" and it tends to happen naturally in most couples at least sometimes... personally I think they'd probably switch roles kinda often, Touko is not exactly Miss Reserved. /reminds of the smoochin' after the sports day was over

I tend to think switch refers to people with no particular preference. For instance, I'm a top, because that's the role I prefer in sex. But I'm currently dating a girl who's also a top, and we tend to "fight" in bed over who gets to top. This doesn't make us switches, we still have a strong preference for one role over the other. Only it's not such an absolute thing that we can't give in when necessary.

So it doesn't mean that Touko would always be bottom and Yuu would always top. But they do have preferred roles.

And I refute that Yuu is top. They are both taking initiative in turn, is all. That's the beauty of a balanced relationship.

Just give in already hehehe. Sure, nobody has to be top every single time, but it makes a lot of sense, considering their personalities, for Touko to be mostly bottom and Yuu mostly top.

Or maybe I'm just biased because I was in the Yuu Top team all along ♥ hehe

waiting for 4s translation before I start reading THE PATIENCE IS REAL

Come to the Dark side, read the raw, then the random fan translation, then read the Kuroshop version, then finally the 4s. DEW IT! :))

I usually skip the "read the raw" phase. So maybe I'm in the grayish side?

Spoiler: it looks like Touko doesn’t like bell-peppers.

Oh, but Yuu definitely loves Touko’s cheesecake

English translation:

Shame on you Yuzu and Mei. I'm liking this a lot more than Citrus :)

Not really a hard feat to accomplish, though... :/

Oh, Yuu's taking her hair down. It's time for srs bznss.

Really? It's usually the opposite for me. I tie my hair up so it doesn't get in the way.

The more this goes on, the less I want them to end up together.

Seconded.

Exactly. What they have going is great so far without the romance.

Same here. This chapter is so wholesome ♥

Unhealthiest relationship I've seen in a while, and I just watched Evangelion.

This definitely sums it up.

The biggest problem would be If you realise you have fellings for her but she's not into you like that

Been there, done that. Don't ever wanna do it again. lol

Same lel. I think almost every lesbian has been going through something like that at least once. D:

List of lesbian rules we never follow, despite knowing better:

Don't fall for straight girls.
Don't fall for married girls.
Don't fall for girls who don't want anything serious.

Did I forget something?

I just reread the whole thing and I nearly freaked out at their kiss scene. This is way too cute to be legal.

Okay, I occasionally drink alone in broad daylight during weekdays I FEEL SO FUCKING CALLED OUT I'M CRYING I hate being an adult

It's that time of the month again, eh? When darkness swallows the comments and impatience rules.

Fear not my child. I already found a translation: https://m.imgur.com/a/Hep40qS

I'm gonna try my hardest to resist clicking that link (even though I think I will buckle before 4s' translation is released and uploaded here).

This translation isn't bad, but it lacks the nuances that 4s can translate. I enjoyed reading it because I couldn't wait, but it's not as good as 4s' work, of course.

You, ma'am, has done us a great service.

Amén

Sweet, sweet jelly.

"Oh, my nails... good thing we didn't have sex"
This is the most relatable thing I've ever seen on a yuri manga.

Yuu the hard bottom

Yuu's fantasy was to touch Touko and Touko's was to get ravaged by Yuu. I think they're both agreeing on who's topping at least for their first time.

Gudetamago got this right.

Yuu's surprisingly assertive throughout the story, and even though Touko used to be the one pushing herself onto Yuu, we all know she's a big softy, and that she'd do anything Yuu asked of her. Also, do you remember that scene where Yuu "tortured" Touko when they each tried saying each other's given name? Or how she tempted Touko when she first visited Yuu's room? Honestly, there's all sorts of clues in the previous chapters.

If anyone is a hard bottom here, that has to be Touko.
