Chapter 4 Naori: "We're not living together. You're just lodging here."
Chapter 36 Naori: "The two of us are living together."

Progress. Gotta love it. (Also curse the Japanese language for having multiple words that all translate to "living together" in English but have wildly different implications).

What are the implications in this case?

To use a more stiff translation of what's on p17, Isuzu is asking Naori if she is spending her life living in this house with the next Shuten-doji in an implied "you seriously living like this?" kinda manner, whereas Naori responds by saying a more affirmitive "the two of us live in this house together", with the implication that this has become "their house" as opposed to just "Naori's house and also Hinata is there".

Oh my. You've truly earned your name, today.

While y'all are here talking about stimulating non-existent prostates, Ming Wei and Lan are over there being cute as all fuck.

Better than the main couple, even.

I don't usually put too much attention into those little banner narrations but since you've mentioned it, I presume it to be short for TOkyo School of the Arts, since that seems to be where she's looking to apply as well

Oh! That makes sense; thanks! I assumed it was a region or town or something.

Itou still the best and the cutest.

Okay, this is now the second time I've seen this on this site, so it's probably someone in the translation pipeline that doesn't know.

You do not "get hit by a heatstroke" in English. First off, there's no such thing as "a heatstroke". It's just heatstroke, no article.

Second, the phrasing should be just "she got heatstroke" or "she came down with heatstroke". Technically speaking, a doctor might say "so and so was suffering from heatstroke", but that's more of a diagnostic/clinical run-down. For most situations, you just stick with the former.

That said, thanks for the chapter!

Ah man your mom let you have TWO miracles?? Lucky

I was honestly expecting the bully to show up and help pull her up, and while that may have been hokey at lease it would have made sense

I was really hoping for that, too. Damn shame.

OH NO WHAT A TWIST

I still can't used to the gender bended uncle to aunt

Look she just transitioned so hard, she transitioned backwards in time as well.

Until you two mentioned it, I thought I was just mis-remembering that there was an uncle.

It's pretty wild for this to happen with zero explanation. I wonder if this is somehow an intentional plot point or if the author just forgot.

It's....It's a different character? People can have more than one relative.

Her uncle works in the fishery and her aunt works on the docks, from what I can tell.

No they're the same character, the uncle now aunt lived alone before Furuka crashed there. The author retconned the character into being a woman.

Oh.

That's... A weird choice to make. Especially when the in-story timeline is so short.

In other news, I love high-contrast monochrome art and scenery so fucking much. As does the artist, it seems.

Also, I'm reminded again how damn cute Furuka is. Criminally so.

I believe she is going for the direct approach.

Pffff

Biiiiiiig Can-do Self-Reliant Shoujo Protagonist Energy coming off this girl.

biches love witches

Just look at Marisa. Got so many she has to beat them off with a stick.

That's a bad place to get slivers.

Also, I'm already far more invested in this particular reverse isekai into a remote Japanese community than I was with the one with the knight lady. ...I think that might make me more shallow.

...I wasn't the only one who, for a second, thought that said "Future Gods Survey", right?

a chain made with intentionally spiked links

That's fuckin' metal.

grabs her hand

takes notice of it

beautiful, lily-framed highlight of cute, awkward, two-finger interlaced hand-holding

Damn, girl. Somebody better put the Wishful Thinking tag on this chapter.

The Yuri of Vermeille

I can only assume, by the name and the poster, that this is some kind of steampunk parody of the Rose of Versailles. Which sounds awesome.

Oh shit

What's that whistling sound

It's the hype train, son.

Geez I saw the step and freaked out for a moment. I definitely was expecting an injury/coma moment

Saaaaame. There's a lot of things you can accuse this manga of being and doing, but pulling shit like that isn't one of them, thankfully.

1x1/2 was really good but apparently it's getting redone and overhauled, or something?

I have to wonder if this is a kind of reverse Jim Morrison reference.

This ending might have been a little rushed, but it still worked out pretty well, all things considered.

Also a good reminder of the dangers of white chicks.

This is like… the opposite of slow burn. Det cord pacing, love to see it

That is a brilliant term and I'm going to use it the next chance I get.

Wow, that cool, in-control exterior cracked like an egg. Kinka is barely keeping her shit together.

I'm looking forward to Kazura's increasingly brusque replies to Otome's phone call as the loops accumulate.

...I'm trying to think of any other game that this series could possibly be a thinly-veiled reference to besides Mahjong Soul (and that isn't Riichi City), but I got nothin'.

Funnily enough, Ayreon's "Loser" was also track #16, and the lyrics there have a lot of overlap with this chapter, in places.

Wait.

"Magia Cyan"...?

Doc, what the fuck

Dang, Sakakibara looked cuter in the past. Shame about the pixie cut.

Holy shit.

This took a turn.
