Ayaka also showed up in chapter 38, before the vol. 8 extras came out. Bit of a Chekhov's gun, heh https://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/whispering_you_a_love_song_ch38#17

Now what I'm questioning is was this a mistranslation because it says swimming club in ch 38, but the latest chapter, they're obviously in the wind instrument club or something. I remember being confused reading the latest chapter, but just thought I misremembered the swimming club bit xD

I kinda groaned at the developments in the new chapter because ONCE AGAIN Aki is at the center of the new drama (can someone give her a break lol), but as long as it doesn't drag on as long as the previous arc, I can roll with this being a fun lil side arc.

But here most people seems to like cheating story like this, the drawing is good, also maybe the author make it looks so romantic that's why it seems not trashy to them.

Nah it's still trashy to us, but we're reading it because it's a big trashy mess.

Yup definitely a yuri story from the early 2010s

The constant tone shift between Mashiro's serious expressions/statements to Makino's unserious ridiculous reactions are comedy gold. Love this series

Lmao seeing the age gap tag I thought this was going to be an AU story xD. Fun use of the tag though. I love NakaYoshi uwu

Rip Ruika's fans. Feelsbad for all their hard earned cash going down the gutter.

in this thread we have Koto x Erika fans and Koto x Aya fans, but is anyone else an Aya x Erika fan?

Me me me! I've been shipping them since ch 1 lol. If they ever got together they'd totally be power couple material.

Actually, rereading the chapter a few times I don't think Mona is actually telling Shion to literally "dump" her problems on Kiki and that statement was just Mona calling Shion out on how she said Kiki was the only person who saw her for who she was.

Mona prefaces that scene with "what am I to you?" so I think it's more like a "How dare you say Kiki is the only one who sees your true self when you've only told these selfish feelings to me? If you truly believe you can be your true self around Kiki, then you better dump these feelings on Kiki too!" It's more of a frustrated rant from Mona comparing who actually "sees" Shion's true self than advice (although I do think in the overall convo Mona is still telling Shion to open up more in general and talk to Kiki to work out their problems).

Yeah. I think fixating on Mona's exact phrasing is a mistake here. She is not giving Shion therapeutic advice, but releasing her own frustrations that she has been pushing down until now. I'm sure Shion takeaway is just that she should clear things up with Kiki, not that she has been using the wrong girl as an emotional dumping ground.

Lol whoops just realized you pretty much said the same thing but in less words xD

I absolutely loved this chapter. Shion and Mona's relationship has always been my main interest in this series and I loved how all their short tense scenes throughout the series finally exploded into the wonderfully told confrontation here. So so satisfying to see Mona finally say what she's been feeling and also following her own advice to Shion about being selfish for once. Also very satisfying to see Shion let out her raw emotions after restraining them for so long. It's a good step forward for both of them and I can't wait to see how their relationship progresses from here.

The flash to the pic of Kiki's sister and her ex-partner and fiance(?). Maybe a love triangle of the past? From how she's fiddling with the ring I'm assuming she still has feelings for her ex-partner...I wonder how much the author is gonna delve into this since they already talked a little about her sister's unrequited feelings in past chapters.

The idea of "closure" these series propose has always been selfish to me but maybe that's my hangup.

I think that was precisely what Mona was getting at.
Her whole point is that being selfish and doing selfish things is just something people do. That being in love with someone (and thus projecting their feelings onto them) is inherently selfish to some extent.

She also never says that it doing so isn't wrong, or that she shouldn't feel bad at all, which i feel is important. Just that nobody is a saint and Shion shouldn't wallow in self-hatred like she's the worst person ever just bc she's, y'know, acting like people do.

The impression I got was that Mona now wants Shion to vent her frustrations, how she felt and how she still feels to Haruma and to do so for closure. So they would be continuing that selfish act, rather than avoiding it. That's what my response was focused on.

That kind of thing is unnecessary to me and serves mostly to make the venter feel better at the expense of someone they claim to care for, yet many series treat the act like a good thing. I'd rather (and still hope) that she continues talking with Mona (who is trying her best to show her worth to Shion), comes to terms with her feelings together, and then meets Haruma after she's overcome her issues. She doesn't need to trauma dump on Haruma, for "closure."

I don't think Shion necessarily needs to or should "trauma dump" on Haruma, but she definitely needs to talk to Haruma because Haruma herself wants to know what is going on. I don't think in this particular situation "closure" is a bad thing for two people who want to repair their relationship. As it is right now, I think it is way worse for Haruma, who also has really low self esteem, to think she did something wrong for Shion to break off their friendship than it is for her to find out it's because of Shion's unrequited feelings and guilt.

So good to see Aya moving forward with a clearer path. I'm also so happy she found someone to relate to with the whole middle school dropout issue.

Koto needs to learn to move forward too instead of stifling Aya's growth out of her own selfish fears.

Bro the childhood friend has no chance after that backstory lol

Erika is best girl, ever since chapter 1. She is the most interesting character out of the three (probably because we have gotten the most insight to her as a person) and I really hope she gets her happy ending (not with Koto).

LMFAO this just took the most unexpected turn and I fucking love it. Just love how it gets crazier and crazier each chapter

Prob just a co-worker who walked her home because she forgot her umbrella. Although I wouldn't mind if older sis found herself a hot gf too

Not gonna lie. I don't think it stuck the landing. Also, every single time a yuri has a little flashback to show why one character likes another the reason ends up being really dumb. She liked Shizuku because she reached for something off a shelf and then insulted her? What? Also it relies on way too many coincidences.

I don't think Kaori liking Shizuku after that meeting was dumb or unrealistic. People have fallen in love for less lol

Thank you for the hard work on this translation. Absolutely loved the ending panel. The final title drop that doubles as a message to the readers was masterfully done.

I'm glad Kaori answered a lot of questions that were left and explained why she didn't confess herself even when she knew about Shizuku's obvious feelings. I think it still doesn't completely make up for dragging out the confession the past few chapters, but I feel better about it.

Looking forward to any extras. I hope there is a happy one showing Shizuku living a fulfilling life in the future.

Man I dunno what they were thinking having Aya try to just be an adult right away. She should have at least started home schooling or something...

Damn I feel bad for Gotou...but you know so far this is looking to be one of Kodama Naoko's more grounded works and less despicable love interest lol. I thought it was pretty nice that Gotou offered to step up and pull her share of the costs. Hope everything works out for her before too much goes to shit.

Just 1 more chapter to go. It's kinda shame they couldn't say each other their feelings tbh.

They did. The last words is Shizuku's novel were "I love you," which was her way of confessing. Kaori understands this and replies with "me too" via text.

I know that. What I meant was to say they love each other not in written way but spoken.

Shizuku did tell her in person on page 30. The small bubble says "I love you" https://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/kimi_to_tsuzuru_utakata_ch31#30

Omg! Awesome news! Definitely getting it when it releases

I'm glad Shizuku was able to confess in person, but when she said she was gonna send the novel once she got home, I groaned because it getting dragged out again was getting so annoying. I hope it was Kaori who actually read the novel before she passed and not like her sister taking pity on Shizuku and responding in Kaori's place.

I absolutely adored the text messaging panels with their reactions drawn next to it. The brief moment of joy before the inevitable pain. Again glad Shizuku was able to confess in person and the symbolic hand kiss to Kaori placing her hand to her mouth was beautiful (still woulda preferred a full kiss, but I can appreciate the artistic direction). I just really wished they were able to spend some time together after the confession.

Cute one shot! Too bad it ended just as it was going somewhere tho. Sugi wins best wingman of the day!

Tbh the only reason I checked this one out as fast as I did was because of the insane amounts of scanlators. Gave me a big laugh when I saw it on the release page. I had to click on it to make sure I wasn't hallucinating or it was a glitch lol. Then that credits page LOL. Thanks to all the scanlators for the hard work you guys do. Seriously bless you guys for always filling up our years with yuri (and other interesting stories!). HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Oooo from the author of Swap Swap!

So far this chapter was cute, but nothing groundbreaking. I'm curious what the author has in store though since I adored Swap Swap.

so the story wasn’t bad for a first chapter, but you needed to day some bad about the story anyway! the majority of the Yuri stories aren’t “groundbreaking” in the LEAST, do you remind every one that every time you read a story?

it will had been something else if some one was praising the story to hell and back so you can remind them this ain’t “groundbreaking”

Lmao take a deep breath buddy and chill out, it's gonna be ok.

I just settled on "nothing goundbreaking" because I was kinda underwhelmed after getting my expectations raised from knowing it's Swap Swap's successor. With such a wacky premise, it played out like a typical story that is about babies did. I thought this chapter 1 lacked the impact I want from a first chapter.

Swap Swap is similar where they had something crazy happen, but the MCs just lived life as normal and used the power for stupid things. That was what made Swap Swap so charming so I'll give this series a chance and see what else the author got up their sleeves, but the characters didn't grab me from the beginning like Swap Swap did. I don't really have as good of an idea of who these characters are compared to the end of ch 1 in Swap Swap since most of it was there to set up the living situation and the MCs feelings about the baby. I went back to reread Swap Swap's chapter 1 and found it funnier too.

I also hope the story is gonna be more than just about raising a baby because most of the time I find that kinda boring.
