Umm, not to be greedy, but can we have the next chapter, like, yesterday maybe? Pretty please with a cherry on top?

Just kidding, thanks for the translation and upload as always :D

"They slept together after this."
All according to keikaku.

(Translator's Note: keikaku means plan)

Oof. Sad to see it end like that. Oh well, it was fun while it lasted.

Look at these two suicidal dorks learning from past mistakes and talking about their troubles rather than repeating the same mistakes! Show 'em how it's done!

Just maid things.

^^ Zanka would be proud.

I'm dying.

This is so good.

Not the first time the author has played with dubious, ambiguous consent to great effect.

Firstly, I have no problem with fiction exploring themes of teenage sexuality. However, teenagers should be experiencing those moments with each other, not adults.

Oh I wholeheartedly agree on that (though I do enjoy a good fucked up age-gap/studentxteacher story like Warikan), but the thing is that I don't see any sign of student-teacher-relationships actually manifesting in this story. I get more of an "Interviews with Monster Girls" vibe from this and it's so far on every level about avoiding illicit relationships. The situations we see here are kinda fucked up, but the way they've so far been dealt with gives me no immediate cause for concern. From the cover art, there's a heavy implication that there will be some overreach and some really dubious situations (moreso than what Nami is doing with Kaede).

It could be very high drama to witness Itaoka snapping from continuous temptation by forbidden fruit (students) while his own advances towards Kaede fall on deaf ears.

Secondly, no one was accusing you of being attracted to teenagers, so it's weird you felt the need to clarify that.

Eh, it's just that I've seen that conflation made a bit too often, sorry to assume.

oh god i like it and its weird at the same time

That's what I like to call All the right kinds of wrong. My favorite tag that doesn't exist.

I always get a bit of a chuckle when someone gets upset because teenage sexuality is brought up as a topic or portrayed (as further above).
There probably isn't any group of people more horny than mid-to-late teenagers. They are sexual beings, that's what the bio-physiological part of puberty is all about. As an adult, I have no trouble acknowledging that and also that I am way past that age group and they are thus not for me. It doesn't have to be more complicated than that.

I'm not sold on the idea that it was Nami who sent the letter, especially as a prank. Seems very roundabout, but who knows.

Either way, I wanted to add how much I adore the Hanano Chiaki artstyle and Kaede's character design in particular.

Oh and the end of chapter when she was faced by three students and asked if she's currently dating the male colleague, the other teacher spilled her coffee/tea-- is she the one that's currently dating Kaede san?

Yeah, Nami, neighbor colleague and girlfriend

Yeah that one's in a weird and interesting place. I wonder how this is still an "unrequited love" she's shouldered (and apparently still lugs around) if she's currently in a relationship with that very person. Does Nami just see them as FWB? Doesn't quite seem like it, if she's threatening to end the relationship if it comes to light.

It's like "how do I get together with my childhood friend" and Shuukura had a baby

Hmm Shuukura's characters are a bit less obvious (so far) than the others, but yeah, we do like 'em dumb I guess.

Wakaba and Komaki are so very high up on the tier list of uselesbians, it's almost incredible.

Considering how much I liked Hanano Chiaki's entire other catalogue on the reader, I had high hopes for this one.
Looks like i won't be disappointed.

Very pretty, very ecchi, very much All the right kinds of wrong. Artstyle kinda reminds me of OsaKano in a good way.
Looking forward to more.

This is gonna be dumb isn't it? I'm here for it.

Man, they are so cute. At least, in their very own fucked up way.

Man, this one just keeps on giving. I love the clumsy awkwardness and how candidly it's being dealt with.

On the one hand I kinda want this to go longer than just to day seven, but I really don't want it to outstay its welcome either. So... I think in this case a timeskip would be great at the end?

There's also an interesting dimension to this where according to the radio/internet personality Eko-chan was listening to there does appear to be a serum for infection. Though it's still up in the air on how effective the serum is.

It immediately places this zombie apocalypse squarely in, intermediary this will not last time, rather than, truly apocalyptic this is the end times.

The walk to school already was strongly reminiscent of Shaun of the Dead, which also ends with the world moving on.

It's a rather common modern criticism of the Zombie setting that it's merely an excuse to indulge in killing people. This series at least doesn't beat around the bush when it comes to that.

Our protagonist with (basically) school shooter fantasies has a stuffed zombie elephant attached to her bag? Kinda made me think of the 2003 movie Elephant, which is about the events around a semi-fictional totally-not-the-Columbine-massacre.

Huh.
That sure is one of the series ever made.
Does this even fall under my usual All the right kinds of wrong or is this Just wrong?

They're so weird and awful, I love it.

I always love wingmom and wingdad.

I think the foiled tag is helpful, because it says while the content will be heavy and uncomfortable at the very least the act was stopped. That's slightly easier to mentally prepare for than the tag that indicates that the act happened.

For similar reason I think a suicide attempt tag would be helpful. At least going into a story knowing that the act didn't succeed, it would at least be a little easier to start a story revolving around suicide if I know that they don't die.

I think that information is helpful for topics that are uncomfortable.

Now I can't speak with much authority on the topic, as I do not suffer from PTSD (as far as I know), but it's not about "how uncomfortable will this be". It's a content warning for people who, for what is essentially medical reasons, can not safely subject themselves to such content, which to my understanding does not necessarily hinge on the outcome of events in the story.
For everyone else, preparing for the worst and then being relieved that things didn't turn out to be as bad as feared should not be a problem.

As a counter point, a rape or foiled rape is ore likely to happen towards the start or middle of a story, while a suicide or suicide attempt will either be the inciting incident or climax. That means splitting rape and foiled rape attempt spoils less than a similar split for suicide would. I'd also argue there's a bigger difference in impact between a rape and a foiled rape, compared to a suicide and foiled suicide, to the point where a foiled rape can even be played for comedy in a way that none of the other three can.

I really don't think that's all that important. Besides, we have plenty of stories involving suicidal ideation, attempts and also concluded suicides (usually of side characters) early on, or even as a kickoff for the story, rather than at the end.

I am low key dissapointed there wasn't actual suicide. To be honest. But eh happy ending, fine ok.

Do we have an “attempted suicide” tag?

No, and I think it's better that way. The "suicide" tag only means that it's a theme or plot point in the story, not that there's actually a concluded one. It's a content warning tag to prevent undue stress to people that might be affected by the topic and as such often also presents a spoiler for the story. With that in mind I think at least the uncertainty of what actually happens should remain.

That said, we do have "Rape" and "Foiled Rape Attempt", so I guess you could argue for consolidating those.
