It's not as perfect as the Amawashi translation as they're not a native English speaker but it's definitely better than the MTL or chatGPT.

I'd suggest translating the new chapters as they release should be the only thing they might consider doing. Amawashi is already producing an excellent translation so not only is there no point in doing old chapters but I would think it's considered bad manners like it is when someone "snipes" a manga translation.

I love how fast this girl figured herself out lol

Pg 7: "Woe is me. I'll never find love because I'm stuck at an all girls school" https://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/be_happy_in_the_real_world_too_okay_ch01#7

Pg 11: "Same sex romance?! Sign me up!" https://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/be_happy_in_the_real_world_too_okay_ch01#11

I feel like the first chapter is setting it up for a harem end with how the MC loves them all so much and can't decide on who she'd choose.

Love love love reverse isekai. Super great start so far. Based on the basic intros, I'm totally Team Olivia, but ch 2 really gave Sofia more depth and she captured my heart there too. Looking forward to seeing the rest of the girls!

I was immediately on Team Olivia too, with Carla being my 2nd favorite. I have a soft spot for lady knights.

Not sure why Tomoe went on high alert the moment she met Tsubaki. Did she immediately identify her as a rival for Ayano's affections?

I thought Tomoe realized that Tsubaki is a prostitute and that's why she's hostile towards her.

I considered this but if that was something Tomoe was actually concerned about then she would simply tell Ayano instead of/in addition to running all this indirect interference.

Judging by Ayano and her other classmates' ignorance, high-class school girls like them aren't supposed to know that prostitution exists at all. The fact that Tomoe does implies she may have had a negative and potentially embarrassing experience, which she doesn't want to share -- as she would have to in order to explain to the other girls a) what Tsubaki's job is and b) how she knows all of that.

Interesting theory. There's not really anything about Tomoe's reaction that points to this previous experience but it's still possible.

I think jealousy is the most likely answer because of Tomoe initially pouting about not wearing the clothes on this page: https://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/canaries_dream_of_shining_stars_ch02#10

She might just be sensing something feels "off" or "strange" about Tsubaki but can't put her finger on it so that's why she's not saying anything to Ayano.

Surprised there's so little discussion on this one since it's quite good.

The plot for this feels like it's moving along quickly. It'll be interesting to see where it goes once Ayano finds out Tsubaki is a prostitute. Ayano has no income for now so there's no way she could buy Tsubaki out. The most obvious answer is Ayano will make money through clothing sales but that'll require a good amount of time to pass.

I'm not as sure about Sendai picking up on how Miyagi feels, but Miyagi has definitely picked up on Sendai's obsession desire to be with Miyagi above everything else.
It's funny how Miyagi is actually encouraging Sendai to go out and be a good friend with Mio because she wants Sendai to live a healthy lifestyle that isn't just 100% devoted to Miyagi. But so far "Operation:Sendai Needs Friends" is not getting the best results because whenever she's out with Mio, the only thing going through Sendai's head is "I MISS MIYAGI! I WANNA GO HOME TO SEE HER!".
Poor Mio is a third wheel even when it's just her and Sendai lmao.

^Miyagi and Sendai have already agreed to go to the festival. It's the wearing of yukatas that Miyagi is being stubborn about, which tracks for her since she doesn't like getting dressed up at all (despite Sendai's love for dressing her up).

And it's perfectly within reason for Miyagi to resist sex for whatever reason. If Sendai starts getting frisky and Miyagi doesn't want to then she should feel free to pump the brakes. But it's Miyagi turning away from casual intimacy like little hugs and kisses that bugs me. Making it seem like you don't want any affection from your partner is a surefire way to make them feel unloved.

I did not expect the sudden birth of a sadist at the end. This would make an interesting series, just like most oneshots.

The question is: Are there more important things than achievement and success in life?

Your gacha dailes.

Amen. And successfully pulling a character you really want (Please come home Feixiao!)

Miyagi was being nice to Sendai on her birthday. Good girl, Miyagi. She may never be able to agree with Sendai's opinion that she's "cute" when Sendai dresses her up the way she likes but at least she lets Sendai have her fun.
We've come a long way on the birthday cake thing with Miyagi. She may still be a bit apprehensive about it but the days of it feeling impossible to buy a whole one seem to be behind her.

Miyagi thinks about all the "Sendai baggage" she's accumulating and casually thinks it's ok to accumulate more. Definitely making progress.

Amawashi translated a Volume 2 extra: https://amawashigroup.wordpress.com/2024/09/09/volume-2-extra-turning-sendai-sans-after-school-time-into-a-five-thousand-yen-bill

Not sure if I read this in the MTL or not.
Did Ami ever meet up with with Miyagi and Maika again after they started college? I guess if she did it was fairly uneventful since I don't even remember it.

Also Ch. 351 is up: https://kakuyomu.jp/works/1177354054894027232/episodes/16818093084371167502

That was a solid first chapter. I'm a sucker for several of these tropes like "Gyaru x honor student", "pretend lovers", and especially "self-discovery".
I like Sumie's directness. Girl seems to know what she wants and goes for it.

Sumie is secretly in love with Manatsu, right?

I'm guessing Manatsu may resemble the private tutor Sumie had and was almost certainly in love with.

two panels to have AkiShiho make up must be a jab at how long the actual story took to reach that xD

I think it's funnier when YoriHima realized they weren't the main characters

Yeah now that is the true meta reference.

^TL;DR They're going to misunderstand their situation and kill themselves because they want to be together but think it's impossible.
