and that this apparently didnt come out the way she intended it to..

Didn't she state the opposite on twitter?

Hachimitsu Scans are real darlings, not only do they translate really fast, they went out of their way to do the volume extras due to the extra pages.

Nice one, merry Christmas!

I was hoping it would get to 10, but if the author sees no reason to drag it out, then I'll trust her on it. Let's see how it ends.

Aki = N0tail
Shiho = Fly

Looking forward to the handshake.

I feel like there's an extremely simple solution to this which is to employ the artist for the current manga adaptation, but maybe there were some complications for this volume.

@Serenata: they may have saved on it entirely and just had Sobble fill the tub.

I'll take them over him worrying about dying prematurely like in the previous volume.

I figure this volume was a little rushed to coincide with the release of the anime, it's also the shortest in general. Though nothing much could've happened between Adachi and her mom anyway since we already knew from the flashforward chapter that they still aren't on good terms.

Time to wait a year for more I guess. Thanks sneikkimies, you're the real MVP.

That makes sense, I just wanted to see that kiss after all the teasing. Oh well, I guess I can just look up any other shinoasa art, lol.

And hey, you said you wanted to do some DMF doujin in the comments of the RL one last month and you already did, thanks a lot!

The rest of Prizmmy and Puretty couldn't wait a couple more minutes after five hours had already passed, could they?

You'd better go all out with the cackling since it's the last time you'll be able to do it for who knows how long.

To be fair, it must've been hard to focus on proofreading over all the warm fuzzies.

She did mention her "parents" when thinking back to how awkward things with them already were when she was little, so it seems they must have divorced not too many years before the present.

Hino's and Nagafuji's chapters were pretty nice, kinda weird they still needed to be fleshed out this late in the series, but better late than never. The story of Hino's family puts her behavior into perspective though I feel a little sad for the maid, it's as if she sees Hino and Nagafuji's potential future as them living out the happiness she couldn't have. I hope the author doesn't leave things between them ambiguous just because they're not the main characters and that we get a few more chapters with them coming to terms with what they want from each other before the end of the series. I'm sure even Nagafuji can figure it out despite how she is.

The Christmas chapter was wonderful. From Adachi making some progress and not just being a complete mess, to Shimamura confronting her personality against her feelings and wish to overcome her apathy for Adachi's sake, to Shimamura's mom trying to perform a Christmas miracle between the Adachis. I just hope it doesn't backfire because it easily could.

Nice.

inb4 he's a dick to justify Kase antagonizing him like she's done with all the faceless guys who ever dared to speak to Yamada regardless of their intentions.

But currently i'm reading Seabed and somehow got the feeling that something with zero emotional pressure would be needed afterwords, before i can get to something like this.

Oh boy, that VN is an emotional rollercoaster, I loved it. It also features the protagonists going on a trip to San Francisco just like Adachi and Shimamura in volume 8.

Three more pages of Konatsu and Koyuki putting their hands together in 28.5, three more of Aoshima's cats in 29 and three more of Konatsu platonically stroking Koyuki's hair in 30.

You thought this was a yuri romance novel, but it was me, Dio!

I feel like she also played it cool because she noticed the rest of the party was spying on them.

Yeah, it's silly how they didn't give Stia character events outside the main story even though she's essentially the main heroine.

It would be one thing if they just made the event and played it for comedy, but with the way Estelle dwells on it I wouldn't even call it subtext.
"Don't you think the two of us look like a mom and dad? A happy little couple!"
"Huh? What are you talking about?"
"If we... if we don't end up finding his mother, we should adopt him and raise him together..."
"You're crazy, Estelle. Kid... Don't you go forgetting us once the morning comes."

Wow, I don't think I'd ever seen art of this even though it's an extremely obvious pairing the game leans into more than any other.
