Me? Of course I ship Chiyo and Ena, look how deliciously violent their relationship would be.

Ah, the obligatory "humiliate the annoying pick-up artists" scene.

I'm melting.

If you consider how long the story has actually been so far, given we're only partway through volume 4, the feeling is simply exacerbated by the relatively slow release schedule of four pages a week over several years. Once the anime adaptation hits, it will only take ten or so episodes for them to kiss and start dating.

I wonder if they've had a talk about dating or if they're just kinda doing it without acknowledging it right now, it's very precious.

Actually, for this series, they redrew a lot of SFX. Not always, but often.

Official don't redraw SFX at all. They just add a small side text.

Scanlators go beyond what official cares to do.

You make it a simpler matter than it actually is. I, as I'm sure many other people too, don't want to see SFX redrawn. They're part of the original art, not just something superimposed. It's over-localization and usually it also results in more of the page being covered up by necessity. Side text is the way to go.

This is unreasonably precious.

All according to keikaku.

Aya was looking for a way to keep Mitsuki from leaving Japan. There it is.

Mitsuki: Uncle... I'm pregnant.
Joe: Whoa! How did THAT happen!?
Mitsuki: It was Oosawa-san... We held hands without gloves on at the prom...

^ It's not over, I'm sure we're getting the prom dance too.

I can't believe we're finally here, we've arrived
God damn what a good day. Now to hope it doesn't end immediately after

We're not even ten chapters into volume 4, there are at least 20+ more chapters but I really doubt it will end within this volume.

Will Narita survive the bombshell?

I didn't think Mitsuki had her feelings already sorted out like that, I guess I was conditioned by how much Aya mulled hers over and was still too afraid to act on them when she ran away a couple chapters ago. But it was really cute how Mitsuki hesitated at the last moment and it was Aya who had to take the lead for the kiss.

I don't think it's close to the end. Them getting together was the prerequisite for the next phase where they'll be put in the same predicament as Joe and Kanna.

I feel like the author is just baiting us again and that some kind of outside plot interference is about to rear it's ugly head and I'm not sure how much more of this I can take. Please I want to be proven wrong next chapter.

Everyone on the dance floor gathered in front of the door to the broadcasting room to try and hear Aya and Mitsuki after they cut the broadcast while Narita is pressed with his back against it desperately trying to push everyone away.

Countdown to the release, not the announcement. The anime announcement was supposed to be a surprise announced right on the cover of the third volume.

There's a Spotify code on each image linking to a different song relating to those characters. You can check them in the comments for each of those pics on the author's twitter.

Yo: https://x.com/SugoiLITE/status/1892108904479457753

Yeah. And since she feels like she no longer understands her, she wants to hear her out so they can connect more deeply. Of course that would also require Aya to stop running away and be honest with her feelings.

There's definitely a sense of unease. Obviously Koharu hasn't really done anything thus far so things won't just go smoothly, but I wonder if Kitano will have to deal with rejection as we might be due for a case where the target isn't compatible with the subject. There's also the deal with the accident that caused Hasumi to be hospitalized, no way she won't play a role.

Finally, we're back!

Oh snap, is she gonna put 2 and 2 together?!

Yeah, most likely. Same name and she knows her stepsister is also a prude.

Real bad time for the scans to lag behind, chapters 81 and 82 are a double treat.

@Zesc Written Pokémon language on signs and the like is just scribbles with a few exceptions, it's done that way so that they don't have to translate it for all the languages the games release in.

It more or less spells out that the serialization isn't in immediate danger for the time being.

It's not outright confirmed, but look at the very first two pages of the series. The dead girl reborn as a cupid with bow and arrow looks just like Chiyo and judging from the clothes she and the people around her are wearing, it looks like it could be the Meiji or Taisho era.
