So the moon is beautiful, is it?

Someone's checking all the boxes, loll

Been a while since I've commented but happy chibi Nako
melted my heart, thanks as always Daphie~

Aww, happy to get a comment from you!! Also happy you like this one :) And YW and thank you to everyone who mentioned it!

Oooh this is really cute and looking forward to the rest. Thanks for this Daphie, and so I can mentally prepare myself, how many chapters are there?

For now I've got 10 chapters in this volume! Some are just 2 pages, some are a bit more. Once I'm through this volume, I'll take a bit before working on the next one. I have 4 volumes.

Ahh Daphie! your love of agegap stuff has really made to enjoy it quite a bit and I've been quite obsessed with SxT stuff I've read more books about it than I will ever admit. So thank you for this one this chapter was adorable.

Makes me happy if my love for agegap has reached out to you like this!!! YW!!!

I just remembered that guy Logan Paul puting thoses color blind glasses, so funny. The girl is right at being surprised about the nude drawing, an adult being naked in front of a teenager, in this situation, is really innapropriated.

Eh. The fact that they're alone is a little odd, and potentially problematic, but he also seems to be the only one who's serious about art. Beyond that, nude figure drawing is a fairly common practice; there's not anything sexual—or even particularly sexy—about it.

About it being sexy or not, I believe this must highly depend on the subject's sensuality, and the setting, etc. And, in Sakura-sensei's case as a character, she is hella sensual IMO!

Mai's feelings awakening! LET'S GOOOOO! This keeps getting more exciting!

As a teaser it's good enough.

I think Fuwamomi is just the name of the place it sounds something like fluffy pines.

As someone who don't speak Japanese I think it would translate to "Fluffy Soft" or "Fluffy ''fluffy''"

Well, it's both the name of the place, we can see it when they get there on the sign, and it means "Fluffy/soft massage", which is what I subtitled it with on p2.

fuwafuwa means soft/fluffy
momimomi means massage

Oh you did a perfect job making it understandable; I was just trying to parse character motivation. Thank you for the thorough explanation!

YW!

I recognize this art. this from that one harem manga where a dude's aunt sets him up with like 10 girls. it's been years but I think it ended with him banging his aunt

I don't think they banged iirc

yeah, they did, and HARD, but it's their relationship status that wasn't concluded. without going into details to spoil too much (i recommend that manga to everyone, it's one of my favorite of the harem genre), the harem status quo is frustratingly maintained.

I was thinking maybe sensei was a bit older than Daphie guessed. IDK how studying massage therapy works in Japan, but I'm thinking Sensei could be at least 30? Not sure.

Also am I understanding this right? Sensei misinterpreted Ebihara's request and gave her a special treatment she normally wouldn't give anyone else? Like, maybe there was some attraction/chemistry involved there? In the end though this is a one shot so we won't see any more of these characters.

Yeah, the estimation I made was like, minimum age she could be, minimum age-gap, but it could be much much better like you mentioned, haha :)

And yeah, I tried to make it easy to understand, but it's not always easy ^_^ Ebihara was super intense when she asked Sensei to continue and she asked, literally motto kimochi yoku naritai ndesu, which means i want to feel "more" better, and then she proceeds and asks for a "supplement", an extra. But she was referring to what Sensei said about extra charges, but the way she said it, Sensei interpreted it as the kind of extras that are requested in this kind of biz, and she mentions it's not her thing, but she feels something for this girl, so yeah, I think there's some chemistry there. Ebihara's innocence and enthusiasm won her over, I guess!

Insane amounts of sensuality.

I know, right! I thought it was sooooooo hot.

Don't get me wrong, I love Tae who is like some kind of saint and constantly angsting over her guilty desires—but I also love Ayase who has learned to stop worrying and embrace lolicon with gusto and eagerness! :) And of course I luv Daphie who works so hard to translate and bring us this delicious manga! Thanks, princess!

You're welcome and thanks for the love, love! I also love a character who isn't constantly holierthanthou-ing on everything! Here, Ayase wants to stay PC and even tried convincing herself she's not akshully a lolicon, that she only loves this girl, and that she'll keep it pure, but her actions always look so sus, loll

Also Daphie is a meanie who uses "POMF" as an sfx in a lolicon themed manga, even if it safe for work.

Wow, had to dig up a bit on google, because I hadn't ever heard of that having a meme-y meaning, but turns out it used to at least, it's just an old meme though :D

Ayase? She's like ‘ALL RIGHT! The third wheel is down! Time for some private schmoozing with Koharu!’

Bad lolicon! Very bad lolicon! Learn to be a responsible adult! Hmph.

Well, to be fair, she did make sure she was fine before taking advantage of the situation.

And 8500 yen still seems nuts, especially for the OL to buy without flinching. Compare to prices here: https://www.timeout.com/tokyo/restaurants/best-fruit-parfaits-in-tokyo most expensive is 1785.

My fluent friend says "A quick Google takes me to a restaurant where their really premium parfaits are 3000 and 3800 yen"

But it was a MEGA HUGE PARFAIT, lolllll, this manga likes exaggerating on every moment it can, so, yeah. I didn't translate the price, just the text on that sign!

I'm pretty sure those swimsuits aren't bikini's...

But then again I'm a guy so I don't know much about female swimsuilts...

To be sure, I checked:
BIKINI noun
a two-piece bathing suit worn by women that does not cover the midriff

It's like the mangaka only have 5 - 6 chapters and rush all over the place instead of give an organic development of events. The story in paper and the emotions can feel authentic but the events an characters are just not believable.

Un/fortunately, we don't know, but maybe the mangaka or the magazine only planned for roughly 6 chapter, who knows! It does feel like one of these stories that feels a bit rushed, where events happen too fast, because it's slated to only last a couple short chapters. One such story I did recently and surprised me is "Can't run from my student".

thriving, thank you for the update

you're welcome! ngl though, i'm a bit disappointed by the general lack of excitement for this side series, haha, so i'm happy to know you were waiting for it :)

i feel like age gap stories get way too predictable when one of them is in high school. like oh you're going away for a few years to college and then it'll time skip to when you're a legal adult and you'll both embrace and it'll end on a teary "welcome home..!" i'm just getting tired of this lol.
thanks so much for translating though, i've been enjoying this one otherwise.

I totally agree with you. These are stories, we're reading them, we're age-gap fujoshis, the authors should realize it, LOL, most people who are uncomfortable with such romance won't be reading it, they should try and make characters and situations a bit more believable, or less predictable, I dunno. I don't know if everyone in this situation would take the moral high ground like we see too often of lying to themselves that it's platonic and friends and then only allowing themselves to see the truth once the younger partner is older. I mean sure some people must do that, but some must not as well.

But just like you, I like the story and I'm happy to be working on it! YW!

I think "man" is a more appropriate term. No offense to your translation, but to put it bluntly, changing it to boy throws away the entire point of his statement. He wants to make a stand for someone else, and in a young boy's eyes (I speak from personal experience), this is something that defines what a "man" is. It's a somewhat common trope. Him saying he's a boy is the same as saying he's a child. It's a given, and removes any significance the declaration has. You could change the word to "adult" and it would carry the same significance, but it would be different from the original translation.

Yeah, and that's how I saw it at first, but the more I thought about it, and it could also be about the boy vs girl contrast, boy protects girl, and that's where I was egging after all, which is why I changed it. Boy's like 5yo or something, him saying I'm a man is a bit extreme. You give me this POV, others gave me the other one. \o_o/ lol

Sees tags: Horror, Tentacles, Prostitution, Violence
Nope! Never! Not in a million years!
Sees scanlator: Daphie's
Mmm...Okay, guess I'll give it a shot.

Thank you, that's really reassuring for me to know some people appreciate the work I put into this!

Thank you everyone who read and commented as well! ^_^

As for some commenter who got hooked on the word "man", I actually made a couple minor fixes, and that included changing panels around that word. Just so you know, the word used in JP was "otoko" and it can translate as either man or boy, and normally the burden of interpretation would be put upon you the reader, but I had to make a choice. In retrospect, I decided to change it to the word "boy", plus couple minor changes.

Ah a cute chapter! Koharu telling her she loved her even out of context and not the way she wanted was just too adorable as well as her reaction to it xD. Honestly I felt she wasn't even addicted to the gatcha persay I think she just wanted to get a bunch of stuff Koharu didn't have so she could hear an I love you again after giving her anything she got that she didn't have xD

Daphie You're amazing as always with what you do thank you for another great chapter of this <3

YW! (I'm getting some help from the Spanish TL group Shiro Translation as well lately for this title, it helps!)

Thank you for sharing your thoughts as well :) I'm sure that's what happened after the first successful pull, Ayase certainly went overboard to shower Koharu with kindness. As you said, let's hope she received a couple happy hugs and ILYs as well ^_^

I love onee-loli, but OL x OL is totally fine too.

OL x OL x loli is fine too.

And now since we know Mio has a weak spot for Ayase, what about OL x loli x OL x loli? >_<

as much as I kinda wanted nagisa to just go in and say everything this is probably a better more realistic option really, confessing to ai now just puts her in a very hard to navigate spot since this manga is grounded in reality lol

While I do agree with you, Nagisa is also young, and his feelings are overflowing. His plan involves years of keeping his feelings in a box. Like. How, haha! Also, Ai is definitely gonna stay oblivious and risks meeting someone, his little heart won't like that, lolI

I dunno, I'm just rotten for romance no matter what ^_^

I hope your back feels better soon, Daphie!

Thank you, I hope so too (๑•́ ₃ •̀๑)

people age and mature at vastly different speed, both physically and mentally. and maturity is not 100% needed to make a relationship succeed either. i just love these stories. love that goes beyond normal established societal parameters.

I'm getting really good vibes from this one, I'm all in! Really feels like a worthy successor to kami eshi jk to ol fujoshi! And Kirin-kun beat me to it, lol!

Definitely some of the most wholesome newlywed play I've ever seen. Thank you, Daphie.

You're welcome! I really thought the chapter was super cute too!!!

koharu were you ever alive when la noire came out

The very classic "Press X to doubt" in the corner was an amazing touch.

I thought it was funny and fit well :D

Just when I thought Ayase couldn't be any more pathe- I mean, relatable

Definitely. Who wouldn't want to be spoiled rotten by a caring Koharu?!

I kinda just thought the tag was made just for Daphie since she's prone to giving us non yuri stuff at times lol.

Either way cute one shot

Exactly, I uploaded it and initially gave it no genre tag, then someone said "if it's two girls, it's yuri", so i added "yuri", but then i got dissed that i had been bamboozled, lol, so I removed it, but I wanted to be sure those who know me realize that this is not het, lol, you were right!

Happy you and a couple others are enjoying it!! <3

Hmm, not to start a yuri-or-not-yuri discussion, but to me this looks much more like her adopting the cactus girl as a mother/older sister than anything romantic. And tbh, with how childish the girl looks I am more comfortable with that anyway

For future reference, that tag has been removed.

I have no idea exactly what you’re objecting to—could you please restate your main point as simply as possible?

I thought the point was pretty obvious:

It's that I do not understand how two women, who are into gay men, are also into women, yet do not engage in media that has anything to do with women.

It’s the phrase “do not engage in media” that I find to be obscure—does this mean “do not create media” or “do not read’ or “do not follow avidly” or what?

People like what they like—that doesn’t mean that their preferred genres for either creation or consumption must somehow reflect their own lives.

This all sounds like a version of saying, “I’d expect lesbians to be into yuri rather than yaoi.” Some are, some aren’t, some are into both.

It was difficult to fathom for me too at first, but I just decided to stop giving it too much thought, like you said, people like what they like, regardless of their IRL dispositions. The reason why it's difficult to understand for me (and some others I guess) is that I like what I like, IRL and in media. Things are in line.

So I just finished chapter 10. And I sympathize with Misumi feelings towards ai, but not vice versa. Maybe cuz I don't tend to find younger people attractive... But also I'm wondering like I'm 33 and like... liking a minor is not okay.

That said! Maybe I only feel that way because all the older people I've talked to said that they can't like me back. Maybe we've passed this bias on for generations for better or worse.

I totally sympathize with both :) I remember liking some of my senpais in life when I was young, but I also liked many girls younger than me, and it just stayed that way for all my life so far.
