If you have attempt murder to keep your ship together, it ain't true

I'm glad someone picked up this series! Kyouko is very cute

This is right up my alley. Is this a monthly release?

I'm pretty sure its a bi-weekly release, volume 1 is out. I'm not sure what the scanlation team schedule is though.

Girl is looking to speed-run now, there's still a number of days left lol

Miyako continues to make great faces... Both confessions scenes are great, but this one has some very dangerous hand holding

That end page lol, I'm not sure if this BL either, but its certainly yuri. Even their sisters are going out.

Evie was restricting herself so much before it made her go full dere now that she has the chance

Quite some magician's melancholy in this chapter. The cover art + "...I wonder why we had to turn out this way.", there was a lot of feels in this one. Ashiyama's take on the Reimu & Marisa dynamic is interesting as always. A Reimu who seems to acknowledge Marisa's hardwork, but a Marisa that seems disillusioned and won't say it?

The book seller who parallels Marisa in many ways says the words that Marisa would never actually say to Reimu. An ordinary magician without magic is just ordinary, something Reimu can never be.

Holy Mami decided that salvation isn't coming from God but rather the Devil

Miyako is way too dangerous when she turns her swoon powers completely on, Asako is lucky it has a long cooldown

By the law of pairs, expressive x not expressive, I want to see Waitress-chan x Mimei

This pairs well with their character song "Stairs" too. Kyouko can have Mami and Sayaka

Yukari: The moon is beautiful, isn't it?

Matsuri isn't a puppy, she's Miss Sunflower's very scary guard dog~

There is an air of colorism just inherent to this story. In a lot of Asian countries there is a lot of colorism just baked into society (though the forms differ quite a bit between different Asian cultures). Even the comments by the other characters in the story why around seem very similar to how I've seen colorism being enforced societally in a different Asian culture. People will say it is for your health and maybe they are concerned about that as well, but will also say "health" because it is more societally acceptable to say those sorts of health comments. However their solutions do not make sense if you only look at it as a concern about her health [see pages 8-9 to see that the mc identified her own motivations related to what she sees as beautiful, but hides it under health comments]. In this case the colorist solutions of those around Keika, like to completely isolate from the sun, are stopping her from having a more healthy relationship with sun exposure. And in the end, she looks out for her own health by taking an umbrella with her, something that wasn't a solution to those around her because it would still involve her skin getting darker.

There's just some inherent shame and shaming of getting darker skin, that's from colorism. Though this story does seem to use colorism as more of a metaphor. It has clearly harmed Keika, keeping her isolated from the world, and I would argue that has harmed her more than any damage from the sun.

It's absolutely true that the protagonist exhibits colorism. What is much less clear is whether the story approves of her colorism. In the climax, Keika follows the protagonist's request to stay indoors (== get pale skin) as an apology, but the narrative equates this with death. So I think the most natural interpretation is that the protagonist's colorism is analogized to Keika's controlling parents and ultimately portrayed as a bad thing.

I also read the story as not portraying colorism as a positive belief.

However the colorism still does make me uncomfortable, mainly because I read it being used more as a metaphor the story uses rather than a rather pervasive and oppressive ideology. This leaves a bad aftertaste when colorism isn't a topic well discussed in media.

Kasumi is very cute

Its been known that Tsukushi's puppy dog eyes are super effective against Hinoka, but Hinoka's eyes can compel helpful gyarus within a 5m radius to help her fulfill her desires.

Yay! These idiots are back and still not talking to each other lol. Some other things will hopefully change at some point

This ship has a fun dynamic, the one indifferent to others and the one who loves to be hated

The end was a nice call back to the first chapter, but now it feels like a emotional gut punch. What the hell is Kei doing indeed.

It feels like Kei is insecure that Rei wants to be spending time with her and that fuels her desire for their dynamic to stay the same as it always has been. Kei seems insecure on whether Rei will always spends time with her, and Rei wants nothing but to stay by Kei's side forever. These two are useless and also need help from the romance master Yatsude, maybe Yatsude can have sessions with Kei next.

I'm starting to really warm up to this series, I had a hard time understanding what was going on when it first dropped. Thanks to everyone in the thread that took the time to explain it. Thanks to the translators as well.

The emperor is falling quite hard for MC, but MC doesn't even realize her affects lol. I hope the emperor's background gets expounded on, how she came to be in this position and her last love seem really interesting.

That sleeping scene is precious

Sanae wasn't a good girl after all

Thanks for the translation, really great work! Can't wait for the next release

This chapter also confirms what everybody probably guessed already, that Kaori is deliberately trying to "fix" the lives of some people she cares about to make sure that her dying leaves no loose ends. I wonder if Shizuku will find out and how she'll react to this, though it is very in-character for Kaori to do something like this so she might not be all that surprised to find out. Could be a good point to delve into what Kaori feels for Shizuku though.

yeah it also shows a certain level of tragedy where Kaori has just straight up accepted that she's going to die soon to such an extent that she'd rather make sure that everyone in her life will be able to go on without her than giving herself the perfect last couple months. She just cannot ask others to care for her because she's too busy trying to ensure that when she dies she'll leave as little of a hole as she possibly could.

Perfectly put. Shizuku has really started to notice Kaori does this too and while it might be selfish for Shizuku to ask Kaori to lean on her, it's less tragic than what Kaori is doing to herself.

I haven't seen in the credit page the chibi mini scene in that foggy field for a couple of chapters and while I do miss those, I think it would make me cry way more if they were present.

Reimu's luck really is just unbound, it's probably better for everyone that she has no motivation 99% of the time

I'm not sure why you'd eat the one becoming a zombie, wouldn't you rather become a zombie first?

Cause it's an error, i checked the french translation and somehow here they change sense for some reason (mistake ?).

In french Saori said she would let Shizuku bite her so they can be zombies together more precisely "so we can stay together" and in page 4, it's "She let me ate her with a smile".

I'm going with Windyfall's translation, if anything because it's funnier (and I can really picture Saori doing it, it's so fitting).

I prefer Windyfall's translation too for the same reason.

I looked up the raws and the original dialogue is:
Shizuku: "もし私がゾンビになったらお前が真っ先に殺してくれそうだな"
If I became a zombie, You'd kill me first.
Saori: "殺すより食べて一緒にゾンビになるもん"
(I)* think (I'd) rather eat (you) so we could become zombies together
Shizuku: "あいつは笑いながら食べた"
She ate (me) while smiling.
* The () are to indicate what was inferred based on context.

I think the discrepancy between the French and English translation is because in Saori's dialogue both the subject and the object is inferred from context (which Japanese tends to do), so I would actually say Windyfall's translation is more accurate to the original dialogue even if that isn't how people normally turn into zombies. Since this is Saori, this is way more her type of cute romance, since she likes to show her overwhelming dominance and all.
