cute. I'm not a huge fan of adult hikaru's design, but I def like this direction for her future

The sheer diabetes... good stuff!! Also if anyone is curious the first half's food places are based almost all on Takeshitadori in Harajuku. It is 100% possible to hit all the cafes in one day in just one straight line

oh neat, I didn't even consider that it might be based on something irl, but that makes sense

That page certainly tries to make her seem significant. I can only assume that the author had Plans for her later on, that never came to fruition.

Yeah, I have the first (and the second en route), and the cover's absolutely gorgeous. And whoops! made a typo. Luckily, we got it right in the douj itself.

As presented in the anime, hanamaruby is cute but kinda dull, and easily read as just supportive friends.
Here, though, we have an assertive ruby that really changes the whole dynamic of the ship, and I dig it. The facial expressions sell this so hard.

I suspect Karin's quotes in Dia's speech bubble are also quotes in-game, but I don't have that outfit unlocked for her (nor do any friends), so I wasn't able to check (and thus had to actually translate them rather than use the official).

please, let us not illegally cross the streams

It's possible they've played games together and/or appeared in videos together. I'm not particularly familiar with individual vtubers, but they DO interact.

considering the stories I've heard from straight folks awkwardly fumbling through their first times in high school: probably

Their maiden names are (western order): Yu Takasaki and Ayumu Uehara

let us not forget Tsukiko-sensei, queen of nicotori

She's some 7-8 months older

It's pretty much stalled out. I've still got the doujs, but I've yet to TL them and I haven't talked with the cleaner/TSer in over a year at this point.

this is from four years ago, so, uh, probably don't expect a sequel

there's another, but some coward feared its power and removed the tag smdh

I'm unaware of any official translations of the reasoning behind the names. I think that's just a fan mockup.

it is the word of god:

booze is good, and nakayoshikawa is good

How come Kingdome of MIdsummer was never translated?

it's just a short story, and large blocks of japanese are intimidating

My interpretation of that is, "oh, of her two parents, it's her mother that's foreign"

just found this. good shit.

though, to be clear, she isn't saying "Friends," she's saying "friends" - "tomodachi"

sb69 is one of those things I've felt like I should look into for a good long while now
this reinforces that feeling

she should kiss everyone imo

if that argument holds, it doesn't deserve the chikariko tag either - I think it's more a matter of preserving the surprise
