still no Chappy?

Nope. Ssamba was too hooked with The Village

Lol this actually makes makes me curious about watching The Village. I would see it but it hard to search something in Korean.
Maybe it's Comico's fault? Because in Comico it says new chapter is up.

Woah! Still no chapter! I was so looking forward to going back home and reading it!.. Ssamba, I pray for you and hope you're well! 행운을 빌어 요!

I wonder what is the coming chapter going to be about? I guess we still need a closure between No-rae and Sung-pyo. Like not in a flashback, but in the "now" time. Perhaps he'll ask No-rae if she would mind starting from scratch. It would be sweet if she replies "Sorry, I have somebody I'm in love with now! A very precious person." And then runs away and jump-hugs Seol-a, who's waiting No-rae at the college gates to go for a date.

Maybe that will happen but I don't think now. I think there will be some chapters with Seol-A and No-Rae again until Christmass (in FF) is over and after the holidays Sung-Pyo comes back and then this happens

So no new chapter for today? What is going on? :/

I see, well, I doubt that the others would be translated because Lady Lady is the most liked pair in the show from what I gather. I'm more or less done wanting a particular pairing for the show, and I gave up on MireixMamori but one thing I'd want is everything else but CharlottexKasumi xD

Lol this is most probably not going to happen. I do bellieve though that we'll get Mirei x Mamori. The way things go now, maybe they will pair up in the end and give the strongest Valkyrie effect and beat Momoka and her crew

Ohh a Lady Lady back story! Thanks for posting!
I wonder though, if they choose to be on the island why do they want to get out now?

I would assume MT's would be in the middle of the semester, after midterms, so the MT would've been in late October. So my best guess is that Chapter 27 was in the first half of November. No-rae running away and Seol-a chasing her to Gyeongju, Chapter 32 to 35, was a week after that, so that would've been in mid to late November. The first snow of the year in Seoul usually occurs mid-December and was in Chapter 37.

So it's only been 4 months since they first met? wow...I would guess their development feels like 1 year, but this is probably in our time

Lately, I've been thinking about No rae's Sister, i'm very curious about her, I hope we have a chance to see her. Well, we still have 47 chapters to go, so It's a posibility ^_^. Is she gonna play a similar roll like the brother when he gave that advice to No Rae?? Is Seol-a going to blush when she watches the older and more mature version of No-rae?? That's something I'd like to see ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

^ licenciado_gato
We think the same at the same time eh. Nice jinx! I guess Gue-rim will push either one of them. She has a potty mouth so I guess she's sensitive to reading the atmosphere and will just say "Whatever you two are feeling, go for it or I'll spontaneously combust!"

Maybe she's going to show up soon. It would be great to see her giving advice to No-Rae about Seol-A huhu.
I have a feeling she's going to be a tsundere lol

im betting my korean won on norae to confess first. just cause it's more predictable for seola to do it. ^_^ let's see.

I want this to happen too. But...following the logic i think it's more possible for seol-A to confess. Or they just happen to kiss, so it might be kinda mutual.
Although I'm afraid someone might cut in before they manage to kiss lol.
Not sure if there will be a real confession, they might just aknowledge their feelings mutually. I have no idea when that might happen. It might be very soon, it could be preety late too.

This is a tough one, but If I really had to choose I would bet there won't be any confession before they both aknowledge their feelings for each other. Like maybe kiss and after some days they say I love you...which I would put around chapter 70

ps i'm broke all the time too, so you guys won't get much money from my bet hahah xD

Thanks for translation!!
I wonder how things will Sung-Pyo will evolve now. On the other hand, isn't Seol-A a little worried that if she confesses she might lose her friendship with No-Rae?

There is one thing that I can't fully grasp. Why would someone be scarred of a relationship because of issues irrelevant to the relationship. I mean I can understand if he was feeling insecure that No-rae didn't like him, or he was afraid she would dump him. But why be scarred of the relationship, when his problem was the fact that he couldn't play soccer anymore? I know being stressed or depressed over it is a part of the explanation, but this still doesn't make complete sense to me.

The end though lol. No-Rae got pretty daring without even knowing it haha. I like the fact that even if No-Rae is known to get away from her problems/feelings, she seems to get more and more comfortable with Seol-A
Sung-Pyo could easily become the hot and cold type of person to be in a relationship and thus creating major drama. But I really don't think Ssamba will follow that path

What is that Star War princess? Where are they lol? This looks like it could be a public sauna place that Korea has. I agree, No-Rae seems like she's subtly but intentionally flirting with Seol-A. I wish it's ot just my wishful thinking lol Noticed how she drank from Seol-A's straw?

Also is it me or No-Rae's hair seem like they have grown?

last edited at Nov 29, 2015 10:07AM

Lol what the heck are they wearing in their hair? XD There was this sad Sung-Pyo flashback and then boom, Seol-A wearing that thing lol, it cracked me up
This is the first time I see Seol-A blushing so much around No-Rae, it cute. I guess that's what you get by realising your feelings.
I think they were looking at old photos of No-Rae and Seol-A was in the background

At the end of episode 7 she found a capsule with supposedly informations from her mother.

Yeah I know. But I thought nothing could get inside the island, so it confused me and thought it was an old crystal before Akira get inside the island.
If her mother is able to pass the island's security and send that crystal, then they might be able to get out in a similar way too

Shit just got real

Akira discovers a some sort of secret facility that was used in the construction of the island thanks to information she got from outside (that thing she picked up at the end of the previous episode, I guess). She summons LadyLady, Meifon, Mirei and Mamori to this place, where Mirei and Mamori are attacked by an artificial Arm. Mirei is defeated. As the artificial arm approaches Mamori, a bright light emanates from her body and she transforms!

http://valkyriedrive.jp/anime/story/

I am confused. Is Akira's mother sending her messages inside the island via that black crystal?

I read this http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/178938 and thought of FF. "All North Koreans Must Have Kim Jong-Un's Haircut"
Anyone knows if it's true? It must really suck if it is

Wow I never realized how it can hurt the other party by not letting them in :/ I'm actually the kind that shuts people out but I do so because I don't think anyone really cares-- I mean I'm more aware now but I think it depends on experiences because if you've been let down your whole life, it's kinda hard to trust someone

I do that too. But it's not that anyone comes and asks if there's something wrong with me, so I generally just don't tell them. I do believe though that if someone cares they generally will ask you. If they don't ask you, it's no big deal to them, so no need to go on telling them about your problems. This can have the opposite effect on a lot of people, they grow tired of hearing problems.

We have to keep in mind that people have different coping mechanisms when they are faced with something difficult in their lives. Some people feel better by holding into people close to them, while others just need time to process and confront it on their own. Some people are introverts, some extroverts.
My opinion is that if someone needs time, the other person has to be understanding too. If they don't feel like opening up, the other party should not take it into heart so much. Just like how some people are more prone to jealousy, while others don't get jealous easily. Some people even want their partner to get jealous just to feel they care for them. others feel suffocated. Not everyone shows their love/emotions the same but I'm not talking about extreme situations though.

That being said, I also believe there are two types of shutting people off. The first is just being alone and trying to figure things out. The second is being a jerk/rude and lash out their anger on people who care about them. And this is the wrong type.

So, will Sung-Pyo or even No-Rae never find someone who can have a long term relationship with, just because they might have this habit? There is always a good match for everyone. Some people bring out different sides of yourself that others are not able to.
For example if someone else was in No-Rae's situation they might have handle it differently and not freak out. I'm not saying it's bad how she acted, but to me, they ultimately were not a good match. It seemed like they were good in their good times, but when a difficult time rised they fell apart. Being able to handle someone's bad sides is very important in a relationship, more important than the good times imo.

It's funny, how we were making so many speculations last week and here it is now. Still a simple explanation nonetheless. Thanks for translation!

Besides the reason why they broke up, another fact in this chapter struck me too. In the end she says "A crack in his feelings and mine"
So I guess this is the story of how she fell out of love with him in the end? I guess Ssamba is trying to say how even if some people can start off great, something might happen and drift them apart. At least this is how I see it.
Reminds me of what some love experts say about the honey moon phase in a couple. That in the beggining they are infatuated, but when this period is over problems start to arise and that's when the real test begins.
Also the fact that Seol-A and No-Rae have already gone through a crisis in their friendship and didn't drift apart. Of course it's different because it's a friendship, but they still got to see the ugly side of each other anyway

DO NOT depend on No-rae to "figure it out" or something. Not happening. If Seol-a can't manage that immediately after the flashback sequences end, then I'd at least like some confirmation that No-rae is over this guy. :(

No-Rae seemed indifferent when she met Sung-Pyo again now. So for now, most possible option would be that she is over him.
Don't be in a hurry, it's not like Seol-A will have just only one chance and then everything will be lost. I will admit though, that if we keep on getting Sung-Pyo lovey dovey flashbacks my not so mature side will want to see No-Rae rejecting him now, just to balance things a little from their past :P

I want No-Rae to at least stop running away from Seol-A. I mean come on, she did it with Sung-Pyo, why not Seol-A too? Seol-A shouldn't be the one who does all the work all the time.
When I was reading the chapter where No-rae ran away to her home town to avoid Seol-A I was like "And this is how friendships end". Because a very very few people would actually do what Seol-A did and ran behind their friend. realistically, someone in Seol-A's position would get mad and be like screw her. And that would mark the end of their relationship, as both people from that point would have a bad blood and start avoiding each other.
But this is what I found interesting, Seol-A's past and maybe neediness led her to act differently

Man, I have this vivid imagination and I often get lost in daydreams like hers too!
But unlike her, I don't get such a happy end, ugh I'm jealous of a fictional character xD
It sucks when you're a lesbian but girls you flirt with think you're just being nice because you look so straight.. Lol

Tell me about it -_-

Or they're straight/not interested and they're trying to let you down nicely

If you don't mind me asking, did they just had xxx after those kissing scenes because they had fade aways and a really strange atmosphere? O.O I know it's natural between couples but I want No-Rae to remain pure and innocent. Ugh. I don't mind having a lot of flashbacks between her ex, but it bothers me when there's too much intimate scenes. I know they were sooo in love. I get it. Rub it in will you Ssamba? :(

I don't see any xxx but you can guess something like this happened anyway. At this point, it's preety inevitable that it happened in the past, considering how much in love they used to be. I usually brush scenes like this off when it's a couple I'm not shiping
I just hope the scenes with Seol-A won't be like this too and we will get more details

I guess this is the chapter where we get to understand what happened between them in the past and why they broke up. If not fully, it seems like it gives quite lot of info.
It seems No-Rae was really in love with Sung-Pyo and vice versa. She needs to give some advice to those who really need to get over their ex lol.
I guess Sung-Pyo got hurt and had to stop playing football. Maybe he was very upset about it and this is why he asked No-Rae to break up. And No-Rae got hurt about breaking up over a simple reason like this.
This totally reminded me of Seol-A dropping dancing because of the accident too. Is Ssamba trying to make a connection between Sung-Pyo and Seol-A?
Btw what does No-Rae wear in the end of the chapter? Is she going to set up the building on fire or something lol

I think we'll get some Seol-A and No-Rae interactions next chapters. Let's not judge the progression by just one chapter. But I know that there is always this possibility (aka danger) of getting more Sung-Pyo too. I have to admit I'd be a little dissapointed if that happens without some Seol-A and No-Rae too.
Maybe Ssamba gave a chapter full of just flashbacks to getting over with it quicker?

Yeah I was writing it and post it before I saw you post. I was talking more about the flaws generally, not to NyaChan specifically.

Pointing out the flows in a story is not a bad thing. Constructive analysis should not be consisted only of positive feedback. Of course, on the other hand, people shouldn't deliberately start "arguements" just to make a mess without any intention to actually discuss the story.
FF is widely known for the slow pace. So complaining about it, is like choosing to watch a comedy movie and complain that it had too much comedy in it.

What is very essential and maybe some don't understand is that the slow pace itself is what makes the characters who they are. They are a package with the slow pace. Because of their characters, they don't act fast on their feelings, they need time and sometimes space to process the situations etc. And this makes the story slower too.
If the story was faster, the characters wouldn't be the same, because they would have to act differently, thus changing very important parts of theirselves.

Most people were curious about what happened with Sung-Pyo and this chapter was very necessary for this reason too. You cannot have a story with just two characters all the time. Unless it's an one shot and most probably fluff, like them going on dates or being intimate. It's easy to make a couple of chapters like this and then end it. But to develop properly their relationship, surprise, it takes time. If the story was finished and someone read all the 100 chapters in one, I dont think this one chapter would be a problem. But because we have to wait one week everytime, some people may feel it's worse than it is, because then they have to wait to get a satisfying chapter.
The story is already 51 chapters and everyone can see how this goes. It's not going to suddenly change. So if someone feels like there is a major part that they can't handle, it's completely their responsibility to choose to read it or not.

I like the show yuri in all it's glory, but @Ushio I feel the same about the plot. It seemed the first two episodes there was leading into an almost solid plot then it just turned into side story stuff. I think this show has a lot of potential but it may lose some of its serious yuri fans. ( I will stick it out until the end, hoping that there will be more plot).

I agree. But it seems like a crime to ask for plot too. It's still the middle of the season, so we must wait until the end to see how this unfolds to have a better opinion

The feeling I got was that she ...might not have fallen in love. As in, maybe Sung-pyo fell in love with her and she wanted the feelings to develop but that didn't happen--something like that.

Clearly, she liked him. But I don't see how people are saying she loved him. I haven't seen it. :?
I think one or the other (of Sung-pyo or No-rae) was in love or wanted to be in love or something and that the other half didn't meet up somehow. :? (I'm lacking words to express this point. >__>)

I guess something similar too. The fact that she said "We both knew we liked each other" does not necessarily equal in love. Maybe the Ji-hwan arc was already a clue for us regarding No-Rae's past relationship. Like, he promised her that he could make her love him and she said "Don't make promises you can't keep up with"
So maybe that was already a major clue to us

If he hadn't interrupted, best case scenario would be that No-rae and Seol-a are together and he suddenly becomes an irrelevant character. We never get to find out what happened between him and No-rae, and No-rae magically gets over her inability to completely trust/love people somehow.

This is not necessarily true. He could still come up while they were dating and create conflict inside No-Rae's mind and as a result in their relationship too. It's not like couples don't face some drama in their relationship. Even if they have healed their past wounds, it is common for new ones to come up too.
But this is the direction Ssamba has chosen for them to take. To heal everything from the past first, which is a healthier way to develop a relationship.
I do think No-Rae would be scared off if she heard the confession though instead of accept it.
