Not something I even expected to find on Dynasty, but I'm already looking forward to updates. What a subdued depiction of married life. I wonder how much is going to stray into conflict, if it will ever be a linear story or more of a series of vignettes. We'll see as it goes.

Also, kotatsus seem like the perfect recipe for accidentally falling asleep lol. So waaarm~

A new adult life series, sign me up >:O I'm here for Kon already, and Ai's setup is already interesting, carrying around her life in a bag. Thank you for starting this!

I found a physical Japanese copy on display and I've been giggling and kicking my legs ever since I'm so glad I have it!! And it's so cool that it was a featured book , on display next to other manga with running anime and other really popular ones (was at a Japanese book store in the states). My girls ;v;

So if these two are actually endgame for a "regular" kind of romantic relationship, then there's a lot that still needs to happen, with Junko's mindset more so than with Kayo's, i'd wager xD

Honestly if the series ends in any sort of "regular" relationship I'd be shocked lmao. esp because, like you said, Junko really hasn't seen people other than as pawns. The only way I personally see Kayo and Junko being endgame at this point is in a crueler way. I feel like Junko is on the path to destroy any relationships the two of them are beginning to build with others, but in the end the two mains would stay together because no one else knows their "real" selves. Who else could possibly want them when they are capable of so much brutality?
loving this so far but i'd be amazed to see this partnership go anywhere but mutually abusive

this is already looking like a favorite of mine; I haven't enjoyed a manga fight scene in so long, and it's so cute and inspired! all of the cupids are adorable
One part that keeps slipping my mind, but I'm sure will be touched on more in the future, is that the cupids all used to be, like, alive. I'm used to supernatural forces naively trying to guess about human romance/emotions based on what they've studied and... I mean, it still kind of counts for these girls because all of their knowledge of romance comes from media and others' experiences! So they've got the vibe of what I expect a cupid to be like, but I'm rlly looking forward to seeing who they were before, and if anything will change ^^

[...] Makes me wonder if there will be anti-cupids or fallen ones consumed by their jealousy later on.

yeah I wonder about fallen cupids too! esp since it's already implied that cupids do fight each other and what we saw was a low stakes scrimmage. but like are the future opponents doing something evil or are they just other cupids trying to finish the job first? excited to see :D

it's silly, but I kinda have the same goal as Kirika. I am cute and the kind of person that people want to defend usually, but I really want to be the cool knight who does the protecting >~< I'm glad she had her moment!
This was a lovely little one-shot! I love how supportive her whole friend group is about her crush. Mitsuru really cool herself too ^^ I don't know if I'd read a whole series, but I'd love a continuation of these two!

I saw that there wasn't an update today and immediately got worried something happened to Sumiko sensei or the translators OTL spoiled by these weekly uploads for real.
Hope y'all are having a good one, can't wait to be back!

oooo glad i saw this after apparently missing the page order error. Read it in order and ahhhh its so adorable ;-; It's kind of cute that Fuyu never actually called Ririka "cute" after all; hoping for in the future where she does :D And the ending omg, of course she's here. i genuinely don't know how that's going to turn out; almost hoping for a falling out, though I should be hoping for a kind separation lol. So excited for the next part whenever it comes!

Oh my goooood this is ;-; I love the ending; she's right on the money, how we get to see both sides of Yoshioka's confession but she can't because it's not fiction to her~~ ahhh so good (also, how the beginning of the chapter mirrors the first chap of the manga, but now the faceless Yuri girls are her beloved friends? Perfect)

...and is it just me, or is this the most that Ririka and Fuyu have talked directly to each other 'on screen'? Most of the manga is Fuyu's inner monologue and assumptions, so it's sweet they are really, truly interacting now that Fuyu is distancing her reality and her fiction

I actually didn't catch that the confession was a joke/ploy (thought she wanted to be the first to confess, not the first on an exam lmao) until I read Maya's part, but hey, I'm not complaining about having to read it again to get the full story.

The art is stunning; thoroughly in love with how this artist draws expressions. Takes an awesome artist to draw something so soft and full of emotions and the perfect silly >:o ! face on the same page. Truly the duality of man. I hope to see more of their work!!

I genuinely screamed when I saw this go up; I'm so happy to see it back! I made an account (the day the update posted, but couldn't post until today as a newbie lol) to say thank you so much for your work, translators!!
The way this story has gone is so wonderful. I love the humor of the early manga and the combination of tropes being parodied and played straight, but it coming head-to-head with Fuyu's own fantasies is a welcome turn imo. I'm guessing we're nearing the end, so I'm looking forward to seeing what's next :D
