Hmm, I started this yesterday (cuz I thought it was finished mangadex has the three missing chapters, and I only read things that are finished cuz I like to read things in one go), I like it really much, but now being at chapter 24 the translations on the first pages doesn't seem that great... Is there a chance that white garden finish the remaining three chapters in the near future? Or should I give up and read the other translation. (They haven't updated their Twitter/Website.)

I bet Hana made up the whole story to get a kiss

I think it's my 3-4 reread.. I really like the story, it has a good pacing and a good balance of "getting together" and "being together" which I would wish would be the case in more mangas.

Also I think it make sense to start with part 2 and end it with part 1.

I just don't have any patience left for these time-skip endings. A time-skip epilogue? Sure, but I'm so tired of these borderline form letter endings where one person leaves for X period of time and then the last chapter is their reunion.

Well it wasn;t really like that. Everything was resolved in chapter 14 without any timeskip. It was just kind of extra to show their future and Kyou changing as well.

I guess I must have hallucinated the part where the two of them were living apart for 3 years. Thanks for setting us all straight about that.

1 Year after being 2 years together

At this point, I no longer know if Senpai actually even still love the past MC, since she literally letting a stranger (they might know each other name, but that pretty much about it, and future MC has a fake name at that) do lewd things to her every single time they meet, but oh well, might as well read and see the ending if its indeed just a hentai series or actually has plot.

Oh clearly she doesn't love the past MC anymore, this is a glorified Hentai series at this point with no deeper plot/meaning at all. A stranger did the cringy hentai-mindbreak on her, and apart from 2 glances at past MC, senpai shows no real connection to her apart from being acquaintances. Just shut brain off and enjoy the enjoyable spicy scenes, it's all this manga has to it since the writing is terrible.

ONS exist. You don't need to know a person to be attracted to each other. Senpai was from the very first moment clearly attracted to the older Nee-san, but yeah ofc it's easier to call it a hentai series/mindbreak.

But she still doesn't want Ookuma to find about her true gender. Why? See (1).

But she said she will be ok if Kanda is a girl if she stay with the same cool attitude. That's the main problem we had. Kanda don't want Ookuma to found out is just farfetch and her own cowardice at this point. Ookuma is for nothing, the whole problem lie in Kanda.

Being not comfortable with her sexuality is far-fetched, oooooookay.

Why are people so upset about the misunderstanding in this manga? It's not even the focus. 90% of the story so far is the fluffy developing relationship between these two and Kanda realizing she might be (totally is) gay.
As for Kanda's constant repetition of "we're both girls"... are y'all just forgetting that gay marriage still isn't legal in Japan? Even if Ookuma is okay with it, Kanda is clearly suffering from some internalized homophobia, hence why she tenses up and stops herself whenever she feels something for Ookuma.
Also, as for any potential "forced drama" between these two, does that really sound like Mochi's style? Anyone?

This ^
I love dynasty forums it's always pure comedy.
1) They take everything too serious.
2) Watching series tagged with Age gap, Incest, lolicon etc and complaining about these, like what did you expect!
3) Feel the need to sh*t on a series after 1 Chapter and doing it till the end, why even reading it??
4) Thinking they are sooooooo smart but doesn't even what it's about, as is the case here.

Like you said the misunderstanding isn't even the focus/point the point is that Kanda is (homophobic) and not at peace with her sexuality.

How awesome, yet another manga which ends one chapter after the confession.
These mangaka are genuinely slaves to the pre-determined formula of romance writing, disappointing but expected.

I would agree to almost every other series, because that's something I hate too and which I see as a problem in the format "Manga" either they are together from the beginning or coming together in the very end.
BUT! That's not the case in this Manga because they already did everything they could do after official going out, there was no 'need' for that after they got together. Ofc it would've been great to have more chapters but the story was told.

I have like zero faith in the survivability of poly relationships but still, gotta say I was a bit disappointed
Like, they even brought up that concept up as a viable option, what with the nurse and her two amigas and all
What the fuck was up with that?

Character developement and to learn more about love.
As every side character except the idol.

I really liked the series, especially how you had no idea who she ended up with, usually I/you can tell in Ep/Ch 1 but here judging by the first CH I would have said Rinna. After that I thought it could be Poly (V-Shape) and then I was sure Sayo will be win (Which I'm happy about, wouldn't have minded Poly (V) aswell) It was a good journey for Mei to find love, she witnessed a few different kinds and forms of love (Poly, Aro aswell) and learned things from it and found her own conclusion! The only negative point would be that it ended right away after they got together. But that's not a problem of this manga but generally of the format "Manga" where it's either ends when they get together or they are together from the beginning. Another Vol. would have done the manga good.

What's with the Citrus anime? Why the hate?
Edit: Didn't saw this manga (I probably never will either giving the tags), but I assume both killed themselves?

Mangaplanet finally added the last volume

Has every Vol. 11 Chapters? (10 + 1 Extra)

She's her own love rival, from all those experience Sasaki Mai is rather on a wining position, she's more confident as we see, so inviting senpai is not a problem. Mc adult self could be more like a helper for senpai to get mc younger self. I wonder what would happen if adult version won senpau heart and they start dating, let's say she don't come back to her present time line but instead staying in the past, so what would gonna happen to her younger version whe she grow up

The younger version would travel back in time when she's 25.

Someone call the tag police! There was a nipple, but no NSFW tag!

But seriously, why doesn't old Nanasawa just help her younger self get together with Seto instead of becoming her love rival. Honestly I was thinking that was going to be the plot to start with.

Because it isn't necessary, when her younger self is 25 she will travel back in time and will get senpai anyway.
And also, if she help her younger self to get Seto, the old Nanasawa who helps them to get together wouldn't exist. Because the future were she travels back wouldn't be there, so the old one couldn't help the younger one.

People complaining about every men being depicted cartoonishly evil should go and read the LNs again. There is also a reason why its a fantasy setting and the reason for so much of sexism in it is revealed in the novel. And also try living in some of the countries around where I live and then tell if these cartoonishly evil men don't exist. I am not 100% sure but sexism in Japan is very prevalent and an author trying to up it to get a point across is nothing bad.

Ps. Read the novel again up till second volume

Also I hope they don't come complaining about it again and again in every other chapter. If you don't like the subject and the way it is being potrayed in this story complaining one is enough. Thank you.

Me waiting for the butthurt ppl that claim it’s a bad story bc it’s “misandry” just like in the original novel forums lol

Rather a sexist society like in RL.
Strange how ppl act like it's over the top while RL has been so sexist in the past and still is, just not at that level anymore (well in some countries still)

^ spot on

What is the point of having a secret alt account so people don't recognize you if you post pics of yourself with very poor placed stickers?

Well, Accounts without the real name are hard to find.

I mean you end up banking pretty hard that nobody you know is gonna find it by chance, and recognize your face, which is probably what happened in fuuko's case. Unless she peeked over her shoulder to find the account name.

Yeah, but to find this account you have to be either to be queer or be an ally, why else should I look for lgbt accounts, like she said: "everyone here accepts me liking girls" perphaps she unconsciously wanted to be found.

I usually don't care for cheating tropes but honestly, her relationship with Nanase looks so dysfunctional already this is just accelerating the inevitable.

True, but why not just break up and go out with fuuko.
And the cover art seems like poly.

In reddit is already much of Eula x Amber.

Takemiya Jin is back!!

"Side Stories" is longer than the original ^^
Has every Chapter a different Couple?

this takes too long to update , i love this idea and i am glad is getting serialized.
The only fear i have every time something gets serialized is to not become like that shark girl manga which was cute and then became something hated by everyone.

Manga?

Nice credit page!
