I honestly didn't expect the demon world to be quite so... harsh.
But hey, worldbuilding, character building, relationship building, roadtripping, all in one chapter!

Hadn't noticed this before, but it's absolutely welcome.

here is the sequel

Wait, this has a sequel? Yep, that goes on the list.

Ha, looks like I'm not the only one who thought that Sara was about to suggest dating both her boyfriend and Wakana at the same time.

Honestly, that's a curveball I would've loved to see, as long as it's all consensual and mutual of course. Always want more polyam rep~

Would be a cool twist if pulled off somewhat correctly. BF hasn't made is appearance, though, so maybe, or maybe not.

I totally could see this going the "let's expand on our secondary cast and give them love-lives while our main cast explore theirs" route that, from what I know, Horimiya also ended up going.

well,that girl's just rude

i'm a girl too,and i'll never say that to someone that used to love me

Like in that one meme...
"Worst she can do is say no!"
...
"Hey, I like you."
"Eww..."

Has Hino ever smiled?

You're just trying to get me to re-read it again so I can pay attention to this aspect!

Went to do that myself... :D

Oh, such horrors you have had to endure ;D

Thanks for the quick writeup, though.

Has Hino ever smiled?

You're just trying to get me to re-read it again so I can pay attention to this aspect!

Jokes aside, I think there were a few chapter-endings in which, naturally unbeknownst to Koguma, Hino did smile softly, even if just a tiny bit.

Probably ending soon but it has been good.

I don't think it feels quite that way. There are still plans in motion and it kinda looks like Kashikaze wants to explore "a couple doing couple things" rather than wrap up after the confession, which I very much appreciate. Sure, Wakana's arc has been moved along quite quickly now, but I don't feel her story's done at this point yet.

Hijikini deleted it because of some negative reactions for adding a molester in the story. The scene is on the busy train and some ugly old guy unhooks hinoka's bra. Tsukushi rescued her quickly but the man received no punishment in the end. Tho I think its supposed to have a continuation. But hijiki already deleted it and decided to create a different plot for Hinoka and Tsukushi in the future chapters. It's a little sad because the deleted chapter have 8 pages. But I'm still fine with it since I'm really disturb with the theme lol.

Not a fan of authors changing their works due to backlash in general, but I see how it would have clashed big time with the feel of the story so far. Geez, Chikan really is creepy.

Alright, here I am... Where's the next chapter?

The next chapter was already out yesterday but hijiki deleted it since it got some backlash on twitter, no idea if the scanlation group managed to get the raws before it was taken down

What backlash?

Not to denigrate Hijiki at all, but isn't "backlash" basically all twitter's really known for in popular culture these days?
Jokes aside, I hope it was more like "people on twitter pointed out some things that diminished the work so Hijiki decided to do some revisions"...

That "...'s sugar." panel really got me for some reason xD

I think that one shows how accents can really add to a situation :D

There's just something I hate about when something puts a "fin" or "end" or etc. at the end of a chapter.

Like others said, it did feel like a oneshot. Maybe it was originally conceived as one?

Regardless, this is cute and fast, so I'm in.

reads the first two panels in fullscreen This is an SAD translation innit?
checks TL note below title Knew it...
Great work as always, I love your style. Their voices came alive to me immediately.

Now I want more of these two.

This was nice. Maybe a bit rushed in the latter half, but nice nonetheless.

well, i just finished what has been scanlated of asper girl.

i almost stopped really early on because some of it was too much for me, but overall i'm glad i stuck with it.

i have plenty of criticism about both specific details and the general theme, but there was a lot that felt genuine and that i related to in one way or another. the depiction of ptsd is particularly powerful (and painful).

i definitely prefer ah... and mm... because i feel like it's more subtle — the autism spectrum is broad, but at times it felt like saitou (from asper girl) was more of a caricature than a true representation of someone on the spectum.

that said i will continue to follow along with the scanlation releases and would recommend it to people who are brave of heart, and not triggered by self harm, suicide, abuse, animal abuse, rape, among other things...

it's definitely not a fun read, but there is probably something there for you if you are interested in this type of content and can handle how intense it is.

Damn you're fast. I've only managed to get 12 chapters down since last night, but so far it's been a fantastic experience to me. I've worked with a few clients with ASDs before and during my time studying psychology in university (no, I did not finish with a degree, sadly) and I agree that Saitou does at times feel a bit cliché, but then again: so did the 16 year old Asperger's kid I worked with for ten months, even if he was completely different from Saitou or the other ASD-cases I met afterwards. An important takeaway from those experiences for me, however, was to not discount an ASD-case because it was either too typical or untypical, because as you say: it's a broad spectrum.

Ah.. and Mm... seems more subtle indeed, but my attention's been captured by Asper Girl for now, which takes up most of the time I'm not working today. Maybe I'll get around to reading more of it tomorrow.

there is spoiler in description >:(

will she still be able to proclaim that its impossible? (she will not)

thats also an oddly specific title

Pretty sure that (non-)spoiler is all part of the official Japanese version. It's also essentially part of the title, which is by the way par for the course for a lot of light novels: it tells you exactly what you'll be getting – the central conceit and (in this case) also what's going to happen with it.

we were busy
we're still busy
in all honesty i gotta put out like 2 fires before ch6 sorry

But you're saying that you will get to it, and that's the important bit. Take your time and thanks in advance.

It's one of those titles that is woefully underrated, but at the same time, I can see why it wouldn't be the sort of thing that will appeal to everyone. It's certainly not the sort of title I would recommend to most gung ho shonen-loving manga readers, but in a thread on Dynasty for "Ah... and Mm... Are All She Says" I think it has a far better chance of finding its audience. I hope it doesn't turn out to be a waste of your time, but worst-case scenario it'll cost you like 5 minutes of your life. One thing I can say for certain is the author is either on the spectrum or has loved someone who is.

Thanks for the recommendation, but now I'm between a rock and a hard place.
All I wanted was to check if there was a lively discussion around the Manga that this thread is about and of which I've only read (and loved) three chapters so far, only to find a recommendation for another work that sounded intriguing and instantly proceded to captivate me
Asuperu Kanojo is pretty much what I expected from the title and I love/hate it for it, because it seems to be pretty well done. It's wowed me pretty hard so far. I take it the EN release is quite far behind?

Sheesh, this one's a bit of a mess. Seems like we got way too much backstory upfront, the writing wasn't all that great and consistent and thematically, oh boy, this one's really problematic on so many levels. Still, as a thought experiment I found it quite intriguing and wouldn't mind reading more, even if or maybe especially because it doesn't try to really answer the questions tackled in the thought experiments.

Maybe Miko was the voice that told her to live, who at first tried to save Hinako from a distance, but after observing her long enough soon figured out that wouldn’t be enough and became a part of her life to further help her by being exactly what Hinako thought she need/wanted, at first she did it simply to save Hinako, but overtime she grew too attached and chose to never leave her side bc she ended up loving her. And now we just have to wait and see if she survives this arc, or if she was just set up to be another tragic loss in Hinako’s life.

Seeing as another tragic loss wouldn't exactly strengthen Hinako's will to live, I doubt Shiori would take killing Miko lightly at this point. That is assuming that Miko really is as benevolent as she'd want us to believe.

I bet Hinoka is going to kiss her someday and Tsukushi is going to think is a platonic kiss

Good grief, yes, that's probably going to happen. I need to get it into my head that the series won't drop its centran conceit anytime soon. Let go of all hope, all ye who enter! They're going to be misunderstanding each other for a few more months, if things go well...

This was the most incredibly wholesome and sweet chapter. Absolutely wonderful. They're going on dates!

And on a more minor note, it kind of helps assuage the baseless fear I had that Kinnniku was going to end it after this school year.

This could very well have been the final chapter if we go by how some other series ended that also never really ended up going anywhere. We had some romantic progress with Hino kinda realizing what's up, we had some more information about Hino's family (allegedly only working too much), which might be considered a wrap for that mystery and we got Kogumom.

Thankfully it seems we'll be getting quite a bit more instead.

I'll call that progress. Now they both know that they themselves as well as the other want to spend time with each other! There was a surprising lack of lewd in this chapter, only the remark about no panties in a yukata (picking swimsuits for each other was surprisingly not turned into a bigger deal yet).

What I find most interesting, though, is that we're still not getting back into the episodic "everyday activities behind the school" rhythm, what with summer break starting. Probably another volume's worth of summer break activities? I foresee more progress!

Also chocolate chip mint icecream totally sounds like toothpaste flavour. (obvious bait is obvious)

Ok, I have to ask Runrin: Why is there one translated SFX?
I mean, you said it yesterday, Stan seems to not want them translated, but all that aside, what puzzles me is that it's just this one. :D
