"To be continued ..." That's good, that's very good.

This is nearly at WTF Am I Reading levels, lol.

Ha, ha, I agree with you on that one :D

I honestly have never looked at a human person and gone "Wow, she's just like a cat." Or "He reminds me of a puppy!" But I see this all the time in manga. Maybe all these manga characters have more imagination than me...

really? ive been called a puppy half my life lol

Yeah, its typically an energy and personality thing.

I honestly have never [interacted with] a human person and gone "Wow, she's just like a cat." Or "He reminds me of a puppy!" But I see this all the time in manga. Maybe all these manga characters have more imagination than me...

Perhaps it's a cultural thing. Personally, I've never heard anyone compare a person with pets in my life.

In the UK, comparisons to animals are usually negative - saying a girl is a dog would be... not nice. So it's probably a cultural thing.

Love the way Narita shoves his way in at the end lol

It's a little vague, but I think this implies Chizuru hasn't picked up that Aya was talking about Mitsuki.

Unless I'm completely forgetting a scene, Aya only told some of her friends about '' Onii-san'' to begin with and she didn't tell anyone about finding out that it was Mitsuki all along. Narita might be the only other character who's been privy to the whole thing.

Whilst I think you're right, there's always the option that Chizuru has made the connection but as Aya hasn't explicitly said that Onii-san & Mitsuki are the same person she's going along with the idea that they are two different people to avoid any social awkwardness

It's not "VS".

It's a X, meaning it's a ship.

Aya's the perceptive one, ie, she can read the mood.
Mitsuki's the oblivious one, who can't read the mood.

My interpretation of this chapter is that Aya looked at the relationship of Joe and Kanna, thought it was nice they could talk so freely and made a parallel with her own relationship with "Onii-san", obviously wishing it would be the same.

And she blurted it out to Mitsuki, forgetting for a moment that Mitsuki=Onii-san. When she realized, she ran away, but it flew over Mitsuki's head completely.

Yes, that's pretty much my take as well.

I renumbered the chapters as 1,2,3 as in the volume, instead of the raws site numbering.

Apologies for the confusion.

With this, I can put their title though.

Thank you for your work on this, it's really appreciated.

What's peoples take on Mao's little hearts when Narita appears (and she's looking at him)? Maybe a side couple?

Also what the hell Aya, how can you be a fan of all those western artists yet not understand English well enough to figure out the lyrics to Mitsuki's song were wedding wovs?

I listen to a lot of J-Rock including Aldious, Band-Maid, Nemophila, Mutant Monster, and Esprit D'Air but really don't understand any of the lyrics ... I only understand Lovebites because they sing in English.

So it's not surprising in the least that Aya didn't understand Mitsuki's lyrics.

When I saw the title my mind immediately went to "Restaurant At The End Of The World" as per Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy

Horrifying, disturbing, and kinda cute... What a weird but entertaining mix. Curious to see where this goes.

I just don't know where it's coming from. Have the early chapters actually been changed in the tankoubon? Did the author say something about it somewhere? Or are people just making assumptions because the aunt started showing up in the last few chapters, and the uncle hasn't been seen since the early ones?

Translator here. I have the tankoubon and I can confirm that the "uncle" doesn't exist anymore.

Or rather, he never existed in the first place. It was always an aunt. Oceania has always been at war with Eastasia.

Literally 1984

The early chapters have been redrawn for the tankoubon and some scenes changed a bit (not the plot itself).

Edit: Here, page 10 of chapter 8 in the tank to compare to https://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/kaijuu_iro_no_shima_ch08#10

Double good plus

Okay, these couple of chapters are a little heavy, but we get (hopefully) closure on Aki and Koharu's relationship so that both can move on and allow the story to get back to the slap-stick love gun (yes, that is a deliberate Kiss reference lol) and grenades.

Wonder if we will be getting the backstories of the other Cupids or if it's going to be Koharu centric?

Well, it took a while but I'm now caught up. What a fantastic story, I love it!

Whilst we didn't get a story this week, the picture was... well just check out Twitter and/or IG! (well I'm sure it will turn up here but why wait?)

Ha, that's a good start... I'm leaning towards the "idot couple" tag appearing at some point (whilst certainly not there yet, there's elements that could lead to it going that way. It depends upon whether it goes the more serious story route or the comedic route)

It's nice to see that Aya can have Koga lying in her lap (even if it is after an accidental fall) and not instantly turn into a complete mess, unlike what would have happened at the start of the story (IMO).

Is this gonna be some weird thing where college girl doesn’t WANT the OL to improve as a person because she likes taking care of her/feeling wanted/useful?

No, she just got her planned dinner date blown out of the water.

I'm sure that they will make it up together and things will be good again (no doubt going through the Japanese equivalent of "are you upset?" "no, I'm FINE").

Did we ever find out exactly what made Shou changed rooms? All I recall even from the re-read was some vague fight with Ibu, who headbutted her or something.

Not explicitly, but Ibu seems not to be able to express herself verbally so she resorts to physical reactions. Additionally she seems not to be able to get on with Shou "It's just that she annoys me" but can't articulate why.

I love the authors comments at the end of Ch.8

"... I have no idea what the plot will be. Actually, I'm pretty sure there won't be any plot to speak of, just another chill volume."

And I am perfectly fine with this.
