The story was pretty sweet, yeah. I guess them living on the moon was meant to give a "dreamy" feel to the whole thing or whatever. Anyway, I like that both like each other deep down but don't believe it's mutual. It's very simple but Canno's always very good at creating that ethereal and peaceful atmosphere .

……

And honestly, I'm not sure what that "Honpen he tsudzuku" meant either… http://jisho.org/search/honpen

Either the page was added in the tankoubon as a sort of prequel (the art does look more recent), or the story is continued in the original doujinshi, but drawn by Kawauchi and/or Nega… I don't know.

Actually, I wonder if the whole story isn't just a big dream from one of the girls who dozed off in class or something?

Chap 23 is almost done. Just waiting for proofing.

There's not a lot of text in this chap (many silent pages), but there were several sentences I wasn't sure how to translate and/or formulate. =.= And there's one sentence everyone will have a field day trying to decypher. :þ

I doubt she'll be content with just one-sidedly loving Yuu for very long anyway. No one is ever content with just that.

^^ …Now that you say it. It does have gloomy implications behind the apparent sweetness. =O

Also kinda interesting how that towel scene (and other scenes) almost feels like Yuu is a mother pampering her child.That might be the key to awakening her feelings. That desire to protect someone fragile and insecure, to reassure them.

She… SHE SMILED!!! /(°口°)/

Ehem… err, wait, comments above are refering to chapter 13… right?

So Natsuko gets off to people's emotional pain. Interesting.

Not "people's". Only Mifuyu's emotional pain.

I think my favorite character so far is Yukari. She's so blunt and her priorities (candy) are straight (but shes not). She's hilarious.

I'd have liked a chapter on Ayame and Yukari so much. =[ Actually, I'd totally read a series about the Occultism club. They're all adorable and hilarious.

At least after the original doujin, Canno realized these girls worked better for comedy than for drama.

Ah, no, by slightly creepy, I was refering to the last line ("give me a little more of your freedom" with the somber look). Canno likes to do that, even in AnoKiss (hello, Towako!)

I still can't stop laughing my ass of about the ghost house yaoi scene in the third story that she put into the video.

Yeah, that one was dangerous for the heart and the sides. XD

It's Mei who touched Yuzu's butt, isn't it…

Chiharu-Izumi starts in chapter 8.

Also, you can add 12, 15 and 19.5 for Ayaka and Yurine.

More simply:
Ayaka & Yurine: vol. 1, 3, 5.
Mizuki & Moe: vol. 1 and 4.
Chiharu, Maya & Izumi: vol. 2.
Yukina & Towako: vol. 3.
Sawa & Itsuki: vol. 5.

I found Moe:

Maya-sempai's popular with the ladies huh? Never thought she'd be the type.

Well, ain't she adorable? :þ

10.5: That girl with the long hair... Is that Chiharu?

Nah, it's just a girl who loved Maya and that she couldn't love back − which repeated with Chiharu. I'm still not quite sure whether Maya reciprocated Chiharu's feelings for her… this chap is a bit ambiguous on that…

There's a missing page, just sayin'…

http://bato.to/reader#685afca04ba203dd_25

…But yeah, that's the chapter I liked the least in the anthology, I think. It probably would have needed to be longer, because the developments were too abrupt. :\

"Oh hey, Satake likes you and you're gonna cross the bridge? Then I guess we can't be together anymore." Like, wow there, isn't that a bit fast?

Still, Canno likes her slightly creepy lines/shots, doesn't she…

I'm shocked that Canno decided to write a one-shot instead of cramming more characters into their main story.

That's a work from her doujin period, before she started AnoKiss.

Anyway, I'm surprised almost no one comments on the last page. Natsuko's a nigh-sociopathic bitch, that's a given, but at the end she seems to be like "Err… maybe that's not alright?"

Also that "it's not affection, nor love" line is a bit ambiguous. Is she talking about herself, or Mifuyu?

Who does the last text container belong to?

"We loved each other. And we still do." makes no sense if Micchan thinks it. She has no reason to assume that's the case as she got brutally shot down. It only makes sense if those are Natsuko's thoughts. but it goes against what she's telling herself in the sequel

I think Mifuyu just tries to convince herself of that.

Looking for help.

I'd like to go on Dynasty's irc, but the webchat tells me it can't connect. =[ Am I the only one?

Well, that's… harmlessly cute. Not too bad once in a while. :þ

You should re-read chapter 1, though. The thing with her mother was already hinted back then, and I think it's rather a good thing that we finally see them interact in the present, even through a phone call. Ayaka's tone and reactions during the call say a lot, already.

So that's what that was! I wasn't really sure. Yurine had a lot of cute expressions except that one time.

Well, that's how I interpret it… Mostly because of that silence just before. As if she was thinking of a way to dissuade her.

If there were things that minorly impeded clarity in Chapter 22 would you want to hear about them or just have us be quietly grateful? I was just going to pretend I didn't notice anything because I believe it is technically correct but not a usage I would ever turn to. Maybe it's just me, but I did have to look back to see what the words on the previous page were.

Go ahead. Anything that would help improve the translation for next time is welcome.

I like the new version of chapter 17 better... Maintaining the distance between them through the race and Moe being the one to break down and run to watch makes for a better story. I really love the love story between those two...

Agreed. I'd really like to have an epilogue with them living together at the end. Or maybe a glimpse of them at university, no longer able to see each other everyday and coping with it, in a later arc…

…And now that I think of it, wouldn't their living together technically make Moe Ayaka's sister-in-law? >.>

Meh… She seems pretty set on developping Ayaka and Yurine this time around (hopefully). And maybe Ayaka's story will affect Sawa and Itsuki's relationship in some way.

"Fixating on a wish that will never come true" <-- Is there a chance that instead of this phrase being about beating >Kurosawa, it's instead about Shiramine pleasing her mother? That she will never be able to please her?

Probably both… I mean, when even having a PERFECT SCORE isn't enough to beat Yurine or please her mom, of course Ayaka's gonna start to wonder "what's the point?"

I also find it interesting how Yurine tries to "push her button" at the end, with her serious face and all, but it no longer works.

Two ladies get into their train car. The next 245 chapters will follow their relationship before Shiramine becomes a reality

And then when the two ladies' arc is over, Shiramine's mother shows up and starts a 100-chapter long flashback of Shiramine's childhood

Am I missing a reference? >.>

…Please kill me. .−.

You can find the tank version on Batoto, Blinkkittylove. I'm not sure Dynasty is gonna upload it. =O

"So keep an eye on that mad dog, okay?
Oi Yukina that's rude

And considering what happened the last time she let Ayaka and Yurine alone in the rose garden, she might be a bit too optimistic.

And you're gonna thank us some more. >=3

The changes made in the volume version of chapter 17 are quite interesting. They show that, in a sense, Moe is just as hooked on Mizuki as Mizuki is hooked on her, and that she had to reflect on herself too. While in the mag version it felt more… one-sided. It also makes for a better transition to chapter 20, as both of them (again, not just Mizuki) have had to learn to "keep the right distance" before deciding to live together.

"You don't care about me, you just like me because I can defeat you!"
"You're wrong, Shiramine-san! What I really love is your boobs!"

(the volume version of chap 7 and the volume 2 and 3 omake are now available in English, by the way)
