there's "see the credits page" asterisk but no credit page... unless I don't get it

Well, that was a really emotional chapter, basically on all angles possible... I think every relationship was to some degree explored in it - Hinako and Asahi, Fuuka and Asahi, the sisters and even Fuuka and Subaru to some extent :P

... confession at the end suprised me, but in retrospect it does make sense, it's certainly the last chance for Fuuka if she ever had one :P

Oh how did I miss that, with 140 comments and all...
... it looks like this is the kind of story that doesn't give a shit, I'm down for it

Is there any significance to the title (and the fact they say it outright at the end)? It feels like such a random thing to put in the title that I can't help but think there may be some meaning to it in the original

Even disregarding the magic diet... what kind of parents would let you just not go to school :P really weird chapter overall

I'm still seeing the duplicated pages, for what is worth :P
// edit: well, I literally checked right after posting this and it's seemingly fixed

Ha, after seeing they hired a bodyguard I was sure he will escape. It just seems right in line with the sense of humour of this story.

The whole story kind of gave me the vibes of "getting married to fix a broken relationship", which is never a good sign (except of course there is no marriage for I'm assuming legal reasons.) I didn't like it as much as most of you did.

I guess making me think the translator is incompetent is a prank somehow.

Yeah after the 3rd page it's already too tiring to read further, I already realized the "joke".

all manga on the site was hacked so the girls never end up together

Anyone besides me laughed when Mai woke up smooching her pillow? It happens a lot in fiction: somebody dreams about kissing and wakes up giving passionate kisses to their pillow. It's funny but I'm curious to know if it really happens in real life? It seems unlikely to me. I know for sure that I never did it.

Closest I did was drooling over my bed, and I don't think my dream had anything to do with that. (But I don't remember them anyway, so I guess I can't rule it out completely :P)

Fantasizing about living together? How perverse

She complains throughout the story that she can't die; yet the story started with her desperately avoiding sunlight. SMH

It just makes her weaker, it doesn't kill her. (Incidentally, that's just like in the original Bram Stoker's Dracula!)

I don't know original for either... but this seems to be better adapted than the "magical revolution" one, which I keep thinking as a sort of "companion" :P Not so many excruciatingly long and in-depth explanations of what exactly the characters feel and why, and more of just showing it... I don't know, it just feels way more natural despite arguably more ridiculous setting (floating game menu in the sky, come on now).

(Although don't get me wrong, I'm mostly enjoying both :P)

I on the other hand was wondering how do you exactly convince someone about to get married to abandon that idea on the spot... Like, I would guess than in the usual circumstances it's not going to be easy.
But I suppose this outcome also makes sense, and it makes for a simpler story.

... also, I realized the implication of "gods giving you a chance" is interesting. So what would happen if she failed to convince her to flee? Dying on the spot for no apparent reason? Disappearing Back to the Future-style? Timeline would stop existing and the one where she drowned would just continue as the actual reality and there would be no memory of ever making the attempt? Or would it be the case that the timeline where she failed to stop the marriage would continue on, but then she'd jump in again (and only now she'd drown) closing the time loop?

Thanks for the response!
I think I would more or less understand it as you intended if you just skipped the second "I" (so simply "I wonder if I might like you") since that's the thing that threw me off the most :P It would still be a bit awkward but I don't have any better suggestion myself, especially not knowing the original.

Also, thanks for these translations once again, I really appreciate them!

Sorry if that comes off as nitpicking, but this weird construction "I wonder if I might I like you" kind of killed that whole moment for me, which was supposed to be emotional :P So does she tell her "I like you" verbatim, or is she wondering about that? Like, I'm not a native English speaker, but I'm pretty sure that grammar is completely fucked here, to the point I'm actually missing the meaning. And the fact that this weird sentence was repeated verbatim in the retrospection makes me question my English skills :P What did she actually say?

I know that these translations are a lot of work and we're grateful for that, but this one I just cannot ignore. (Unless I'm just bad at English, please tell me if that's the case).

Lmao at the "very expensive looking hotel" over a bunch of scribbles - it's kind of what I used to do in primary school when drawing in class - writing on stuff what it actually is supposed to be since I couldn't draw for shit

(... and well I still can't :P)

The ending was cute and all...
...but that face from page 29 will haunt my nightmares, it looks like some kind of faceless monster with 4 teeth no matter how hard I try to look at it :P
