Wow, this looks very nice! And Adachi is just as clingy as I expect her to be.

There are generally only three or four full-lenght chapters per volume, the others are short interludes, so you won't take too long to catch up. Have fun and feel free to comment as you read along.

I meant both you and sneik of course. Surely he'll be itching to translate more.

You find another yuri LN series to work on?

Haha, yeah, Yuu clearly just lets senpai give her tongue for five minutes straight just to be nice, she's not into it at all.

Iruma wrote the Sayaka novels so it makes sense for Nakatani to return the favor.

Maybe Adachi only became shy because she started to notice feelings. But I don’t remember what chapter that was. It was before the bowling, though.

Her behavior around Shimamura begins to change around the time she has a dream where she kisses her, which happens next episode according to the preview.

Shimamura is quite rude for not bothering to remember Pancho's real name even after that eye-opening conversation.

Congrats, sneikkimies and shades! You did everyone a great service, I can't thank you enough.

Just watched the first episode, I really like the artstyle, the lighting and colors and the voice acting for both Shimamura and Adachi. The animation itself is nothing special, but it's mostly a series made of characters talking anyway. I remain convinced any adaptation will inevitably lose a lot of the charm of the novels due to the heavily reduced focus on internal monologues, but the anime certainly seems better than both manga series so far.

Gloria: the only trainer cool enough to be allowed to take down a Charizard in an official animation.

Finally got around to reading the last couple chapters, I was kinda waiting for the anime to start before doing so but I had some time to kill. Were they not put up on here because the series got licensed?

The conversation between Shimamura and Pancho was great, I'd say that compared to the usual pacing of the series it kinda felt like things went from zero to one hundred very quickly even though it was fairly natural for the latter to have noticed.

I once found myself into fog just as thick as Adachi and Shimamura on the second day of the trip, those descriptions are not an exaggeration. People right next to you become hazy silhouettes you can hardly make out.

Kinda bummed the future trip got skipped over as much sense as it makes since it wasn't meant to take over the current timeline. I'm looking forward to when the series actually gets there thirty years from now! In the meantime, I happened to have read a yuri VN where the main characters also go on a trip to San Francisco by plane so I'll pretend it was similar to that.

This was the icing on the cake on possibly the best two and a half minutes of Pokémon content ever.

@Palmfire: By the way, since I noticed you posted this both here and on mangadex, chapter 24 doesn't have scenes at Koyuki's house. I'm pretty sure the first time her room is drawn extensively enough to show the desk is in chapter 12, and the drawer is already there: https://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/nettaigyo_wa_yuki_ni_kogareru_ch12#49 Then in chapter 18 it's shown to be right under where she put the frog: https://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/nettaigyo_wa_yuki_ni_kogareru_ch18#16 If it happened to be missing a few chapters ago, the author just forgot to draw it, but it's not a new addition just for whatever Koyuki wanted to hide now.

Can't think of what else it would be, she has already turned in her questionnaire for her future career and Konatsu and Kaede already know she's leaving anyway. Anything else would probably be something that hasn't been seen before.

Its probably just the frog

Right, she bought it together with the salamander while on her field trip the previous year with the intention of giving Konatsu the frog (https://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/nettaigyo_wa_yuki_ni_kogareru_ch15#24) but she was too embarassed and just gave her the salamander instead since it wouldn't have as many implications. Then Kaede noticed the frog sitting on Koyuki's desk when she visited her room (https://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/nettaigyo_wa_yuki_ni_kogareru_ch18#14 and the next two pages) and now it looks like Koyuki stuffed it into the desk drawer so that Konatsu won't see it upon going to her room, but I expect Kaede to ask where she put it not knowing its real meaning so the cat will be out of the bag.

It's her secret stash of aquatic themed yuri manga

The twist being that she collects them for the inevitable aquarium date scenes to check the fish and hasn't noticed they're all yuri.

Am I the only one worried about Honami-san coming home with a tan? I thought the whole point of the sleepover was that she was going to cram school and didn't have time for stuff. Why would she be outside all day?

You misunderstood the page, even though Fuyuki and Koyuki were the ones on panel when that line was said, it was Kaede saying it to Konatsu, and Konatsu got a little tan because she had been at Aoshima (the cat island) all day with her kouhais of the aquarium club as seen in the previous half of the chapter.

It's not even a case of a side character growing faster than the MCs, Kaede is still behind in dealing with her own issues compared to them and said issues are thematically connected to Koyuki and Konatsu's. I understand some people's frustration in having to wait a month each time only to have to wait longer for what they want to see, but they should know by now that Kaede is the third most important character in the series and every time she receives focus, it's always in the context of her not wanting the MCs to make the same mistakes as her.

Didn't expect the focus to still be all on Kaede but I guess it makes sense since it's still her chapter. Next chapter should be the last one in the volume (be it standalone or divided in two) so it will likely go back to being named after Koyuki or Konatsu and tackle the actual sleepover. Also no break once again, that's nice.

I find it interesting how Kaede seems to be projecting her regrets on both Fuyuki and Konatsu and is acting so that each of them can get more time to spend with Koyuki before she has to leave. Fuyuki is too young to really realize how lonely he will feel once that happens, while Konatsu already lamented before how she wishes they'd talked more and didn't waste precious time with their fight, so in her case Kaede is right on the money. I hope the author has got something good planned for the sleepover.

Also, Fuyuki is a massive scrub at Fortnite.

literally tho, what else would happen?

They stay up all night talking about their love for aquatic life.

Two cours would be enough to get there, I'm sure the one we're getting will adapt the first three volumes, and the phone call was in the sixth. In fact two cours would be a good stopping point since it could reach the confession.

The only thing that makes me sad about the phone call is the knowledge that the anime won't reach it.

Man, I've been kinda ambivalent about this series, but after that kiss, I'm all the way in. That's all it took. I'm so easy.

Understandable, this series has some of the hottest kissing scenes I've ever seen, and somehow while looking classy rather than raunchy.

I'm expecting Akira to deduce Mayuki is so good at kissing due to Rin and to ask Rin to have "kissing practice" with her so she won't be upstaged when "teaching" Mayuki, thus bringing the whole thing full circle.
