cute and hot!

That is top-notch storytelling like wowwwwww. Tying the fact that Hatori is very perceptive/aware of her surrounding to the way that she interacts with Hirose is crazy good (I have never read a manga that has this well-executed character interactions).

https://dynasty-scans.com/series/the_blue_star_on_that_day_ano_koro_no_aoi_hoshi has a lot of subtle side character stuff.

In case you're wondering why the previous chapter summary is actually the summary of this chapter, you'll have to take it up with the Bushiroad editorial staff. I have no idea why they did that.

Lol, thanks! I was wondering.

where the idea that it was illegal for medieval women to be literate came from

Disney's Beauty and the Beast, maybe?

X is banned in my country. Can anyone tell me what it says?

Nothing much, just an announcement.

Yeah, please don't burn out again.

Thank Madoka your spelling is normally way better than this. :P

'guesstimate' is probably a common coinage, and has entered the dictionaries. https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/guesstimate

Art style had me checking whether it was by the Hino-san no Baka artist. (It is not.)

It's nice to see that her parents are doing well enough

Though definitely several steps down in the world, from rich noble to muddy farm.

Do you know how much Asumi won? She said 10 visits' worth. I have been assuming one visit is 30,000 yen. So 300k? ($2100 USD)

That sounds reasonable.

https://yuri-shinjuku.net/system.php?lang=en charges 28,000 yen for 1 hour, 410,000 for 90 minutes, 52,000 for 2 hours. 20,000 for a sexless 90 minute date. I don't recall if we know the length of Asumi's standard request.

(And if you pay in dollars you pay a hilariously poor exchange rate, 100 yen per dollar, vs. the current 142.)

We did get a glimpse of Marietta's old body, suggesting the premise won't be completely ignored. But this is a manga of a web novel, so who knows how much material there is.

Oh right, also Marietta having a bleed-through memory of the witch being burned. So there's some shadow on the fluff.

Slice of life is fun for some of us.

Though something is on the brink of happening by chapter 15.

Reading chapter 2

I wonder if the wicked witch accidentally trapped herself in a body that can't use magic. Serves her right, if so.

Looking forward to more!

That was an intense wall slam

Knee between the legs, even.

My guess is her father died and her mother was engaging in sex work to make ends meet. She probably felt unable or unworthy to raise Aya and so left her with her grandparents.

Oh! Interesting alternative. That does feel cleaner in a way (fewer living parents, more oomph to the 'dirty'.)

We saw Kyou going off to a wedding in the very first pages of the manga, didn't we? So I doubt he's getting put on a bus.

ADHS?

Any ideas what happened with Aya's parents? We went from happy family -> "your mom is dirty" -> mom ditching her and disappearing -> also dad seems to have vanished.

I'm guessing adultery and divorce? But also wondering if mom's still alive out there. Or dad, for that matter.

The teacher is gross and a pedo. I hate this story.

Pretty funny thing to say when the teacher went to great lengths to avoid anything inappropriate, despite the boy's desires.

I cannot ascertain what’s going on through Miyagi’s head

The manga cutting a ton of the WN's internal monologue doesn't help. But even with the internal monologue, Miyagi is an enigma wrapped in a riddle wrapped in a mystery.

Yeah, we manage to have unreliable narrator problems even with double internal dialogue.
