Huh, I just saw this extra on Twitter and noticed the joke was that Aya used "てば," which to my understanding is just a cutesy copulate like です and dosen't have a direct translation, and was curious to see how the translator worked around it. I feel like if I were to translate it I'd maybe have Aya say "I told you it was, like, totally this way" or something, and then have Mitsuki say"'like' she says" but I'd be curious to hear other people's ideas.

Also, I totally just noticed that Mitsuki is also taking a pic of Aya, lol. That's so cute

Omg they also having maching bags

I think they have pictures of eachother on the back of their phones too this image is so detailed

The moment of Hinamori after the game reminded me of Bloom Into You

The little blush on them when the museum lady said they must be close pretty much confirms they're dating, lol

$18 for a salmon pasta at a fancy restaurant? At a local cafe near me it's $25 for a damn chicken parmesean.

Also, for all the moral qualms I have over Nakano, what she said was pretty hot and her completely dominating Miyako was...wow

Also what happened to her fingers? Is she biting them?

Nah, she started playing guitar. Remember a couple a chapters ago where her uncle bought her a guitar to cheer her up?

Love that not even world building can get in the way of tropes, lol. The fact that yukatas exist in this semi-modern jrpg like medieval town kinda threw me for a second, but whateves.

Also, can anybody tell what exactly the "sheepa expression of love is?" Is it like a shove? A headbutt? I can't fully tell from that one panel.

Author tweeted that they are in the middle of moving, so no chapter this week

Tweet: 作者も只今引っ越し中でして、今週はお休みいたします。最近はモヤモヤが多めの2人ですが、それでも読んでいただけて本当に嬉しいです。いつもありがとうございます、大好きです!!

Translation: The author is in the middle of moving right now, so I'm taking a break this week. I know the two of them have been getting more gloomy as of late, but I'm really happy you're still reading. Thank you as always, love!!

I think "did we have anything" works if you think about it like Mariya asking if they had any food before they left, since, even though time has past since they left, they didn't go to the store, so the state of their food would be the same as when they left.

What is the pizza joke a about? To my knowledge "pizza" is piza in japanese and head is atama. is it supposed to be some sort of pun?

Remember kids. Glasses don't actually do anything and can be gotten rid of at a moments notice.

She could be far sighted and only needs them to teach from the book. Not much reading to do while manning a food stand.

So uh, with the magical girl hunt, are we just supposed to accept the fact that the two girls on the team literally committed mass genocide against highschool girls and then just...said "sorry?" Are we not gonna talk about that?

All I could think about were the potential UTIs and burning hoohaa with that soapy fingering.

Yeah, I was thinking about that too. Reminded me of another h doujin where two girls were getting frisky in the shower and the manga made the effort of showing the girl rinsing off her hand before getting to work. Made me appreciate the attention to detail.

Anyone know where I can read the raws?

Small typo in chap 111:
"well... to time study" -> "well... time to study"

??? Didn't you just read it wrong?

My English is not good enough for that last chapter, I missed too much to make sense of it. Does anyone know where I can find the raws so I can puzzle it together? Or give me a short summary, that would be amazing:)

Honestly I didn't fully get it either as a native English speaker, what with the twins and weird vocabulary that even I had to look up, I tend to kind of speed read through every relationship that isn't the two mc.

Anyway, the summary I got was that, after Watanabe found at Ririka (the gyaru) liked her, she avoids her at school all day. Then one of the twins pulls Watanbe aside to chat with her. While they're talking, the other twin comes along and says she couldn't have tea time with her onee-sama at the green house, because her onee-sama invited another upper class man along, and the twin felt that she wasn't cool enough to hang out with them. Her twin convinces her to go back, and also they said they loved eachother, honestly I don't really understand it either. Anyway, the twin that wanted to chat with Watanabe basically said that the drama between Watanabe and Ririka won't be fixed by Watanabe ignoring Ririka. So Watanabe goes back and convices herself that she should only look at gay girls, not be a gay girl. Then Ririka confronts her and says she'll convince Watanabe that she loves her.

Ah, the dreaded time skip straight to college life. Great manga though, all around. Wish there was more time to delve deeper into some of the other couples, but I digress.

Nitpick: 300 million yen isn't quite enough to not work for the rest of your life in a city and also pay for a second person for that same time period unless you also invest it. You also can't live extravagantly on that amount of money.

It's actually not that bad depending on where you live and how old you are. 300,000,000 yen is around $3,000,000usd. If I were to budget that for around 30 years (I'm currently 33 so that'd be until the age of 63, and considering my family's history for biological males that's actually overshooting things a bit) that'd be around $100,000 per year. I'd actually probably have trouble spending $100,000 in a single year since I'm fairly frugal for the most part. I'd be able to live rather comfortably on $50-60,000 pretty easily where I live. It wouldn't be anything particularly extravagant but it'd be enough for me to comfortably pay all my bills, buy all my necessities, and then pay for the things I want. And if you just dump that $3,000,000 in a savings account then that'd result in it taking even longer to burn through it all. It really depends on the person and cost of living in that person's area.

Seriously, people always downplay how much money a couple million dollars is. Let's say she just spent $5000 on clothes in this chapter. That's 5000/3000000, which is 0.0016. That means that buying an entire clothing store only cost her 0.2% if her new wealth. If she spent $5000 a day, every day for the rest to her life, she would run out of money in 500 fucking years! Half a millennium, spending $5k a day, an never running out of money on 3 million. Thats why its so absurd for one person to be worth half a trillion $$. Shits absurd and people don't fully grasp it

Am I having a stroke

Copy right and its consequences have been a disaster for comprehensive manga dialogue

I never clicked on a new release so fast as I clicked on this one.

I just couldn't wait to read the continuation of the story after last chapter's cliffhanger.

And this is what we get? Flashforward to after the crisis is over? Elsa with a random bandage and Evie feeling guilty?

No way the novel progressed this way. We got screwed by the manhua. :/

Folks previously said that this was a side chapter addition: meaning the whole date/play event didn't happen in the novel. Assuming that this morning scene IS in the novel, I'm guessing that the novel basically started a chapter with the girls waking up and Elsa having a bandaged injury caused by Evie, without ever explaining where it came from.

The date did happen in the novel. The manhua so far has never deviated from the novel plot.

Well technically true, the translator has directly stated in their notes for chapter 23 that the date chapters were inserted way later, where a group of chapter between 18 and 19 were written and inserted while chapter 262 was released.

What I'm curious to know is at what point we resume the main story, and whether the most recent chapter is still part of the date side story or not.

Elsa said "to make up for yesterday" like whatever happened was her fault. The way the writing is otherwise heavily implying that Yvonne attacked her without actually confirming she did makes me think it didn't happen.

I don’t know, the bandage had to come from somewhere. Its never happened before that Yvonne did anything without at least telling Elsa to prepare, like simply asking Elsa to not go pee instead of restraining her. So I can't imagine a world where Yvonne just jumps Elsa without saying anything, but that seems to be what this is implying.

I can't really enjoy this manga because I feel like the MC is rushing ahead with her feelings like she's desperate to find someone. Hasn't she known sensei only for a week?

I don't think she's rushing anything, particularly--she's been crushing on sensei ever since they met remember, she masturbated thinking about sensei in the bath the first night she was there, and now she's living with her crush, so of course we're going to get "She's so cute/sexy!" scenes every chapter just to remind us of Ayu's basic emotional situation.

I mean, it makes sense and is not unheard of in real life but yeah, it's just personally hard to ship it when it's a superficial crush-at-first-sight kind of thing (so far). I understand her being a teen might explain her inability to calm down and think.

Or maybe I'm just biased because since around Ayu's age, I've found it harder and harder to keep crushing on people mainly based on their looks. Probably a defense mechanism because it's just a waste of feelings when the probability of reciprocation is incredibly low (we already have a ridiculously small dating pool).

Honestly, at this point, im not even sure if we are supposed to be shipping it. I get the feeling that sensei sees Ayu as a kid rather than an equal she would date, and if they were to get together, a bunch of progress would need to happen or it would be completely unnatural. However, it could just be that they don't get together, and this is a simple crush that works to help Ayu discover and accept herself. This manga has surprised me with its unorthodox and realistic writing, so I wouldn't doubt the authors capability in handling a complex development like that.

I found this one a bit confusing to parse. Saori had a beloved? Did I forget something important? I know she was obsessed with her sister, but I didn't think she had dated anyone.

Shizuku's obviously referring to Iori and Saori's incestuous obsession with her there. She later repeats it more explicitly as "you beloved onee-san" too.

Yeah, it's been pretty much explicitly stated that Saori is romantically in love with her sister, which Iori does not reciprocate. Saori's struggle seems to be getting over that love while still maintaining a platonic relationship with her sister

I dont really share the sentiment with the other comments. This seems entirely wholesome. None of them have agreed to date yet, and miku clearly has no problems going along with the other girl, Kyoko has no reason to oppose two consenting parties if she's not jealous, it just feels like their pushing her into a corner to admit her feelings more than anything, I haven't seen anything sinister in this chapter so far
