The british English was really thick on this chapter. I wish they'd use normal standard English.

It's funny that English came from the Brits yet theirs is not 'standard'.

Funnily enough, I was just having a conversation with someone this past week about how the internet is causing British and American English to blend. It was after their phone gave both "canceled" and "cancelled" as auto-complete options, and they couldn't remember which one was the American spelling. Seeing more and more people/places adopt "grey" for "gray" or "axe" for "ax" &c. It'll be interesting to see what happens to spelling over the next 20 years.

Y'all be making a wee linguistic mess, innit?

Just 1 more chapter to go. It's kinda shame they couldn't say each other their feelings tbh.

They did. The last words is Shizuku's novel were "I love you," which was her way of confessing. Kaori understands this and replies with "me too" via text.

I know that. What I meant was to say they love each other not in written way but spoken.

I kinda feel written makes more sense here, considering a lot of the plot revolves around Shizuku's stories. Reading "I love you" in Shizuku's book and replying via text is much more in line with the feel of the story than having that exchange through an oxygen mask.

Ty!

Been a while since I've last seen her here in the forums (and I don't use discord). Anyone knows if she's still active somewhere? Just general curiosity 'cause she was really nice.

Also, this part was traumatic.

Fun fact: I found this again today, after five years, was casually reading it, and had completely forgotten that I'd been the one who cleaned/typeset it until I saw this f***ing panel (and its ridiculous amount of sfx)

Any lesser known manga where relationships are revealed positively? I enjoy things like the one girl now hangs out in the other girls friend group because they are openly together or the love interest is introduced to the parents or sister or brother.

manga similar to sal jiang's artstyle? i really like the semi-realism if thats what its called

Yamaji Ebine but her stories are an acquired taste.

That was a more wholesome ending than I thought it'd be, considering the tags.

Yep. Almost skipped this one because of the tags. I'm glad I didn't. This was cute.

It's a shame they didn't even kiss, though.

It's now about 10 years since this got released in Dynasty. If anyone's got the raws for the sequel (or any other Momono Moto works) I'd be glad to clean/redraw/typeset it. Just drop a link at Yuri Project.

Underused tag.

It was literally created yesterday...

The point remains.

Three million yen is a little over 20000 dollars, so it's really not THAT much.

Also, why the heck does this nonsense get introduced? Things were just about getting good.

To begin setting up the teacher x student pairing with that rebel kid and the director's daughter.

I think US$20k is a lot to embezzle from a public school. It's not a bank, you know.

Sweet, simple, and unique!

I love your profile pic.

Yeeeeaaaaahhhh

Why do I keep hurting myself with this manga?

Masochism, evidently.

Y'know, R&J is at the same time really well written (some lines are excelent) and a very ridiculous little thing. It is honestly a terrible love story. I recommend everyone read it once in their lives so we all mock it together.

Edit: oh, but I agree with the argument that death does not betray the point of a love story (like, at all).

I CAN FINALLY KILL MYSELF

Please don't

I am absolutely devastated by Kaori's death, but I would have been disappointed if she'd survived. It wouldn't have made sense. A lot of the previous scenes would have lost all meaning.

This was one of the most poignant and beautiful pieces of manga I've read in my life. I'm glad I came across it. And I'm seriously glad this chapter didn't end in a cliffhanger.

Happy New Year to the translators on this site!

they spend most of their time
living in a translations' paradise
clean, edit, q-checking twice or thrice
living in a translations' paradise
it's hard work on translating

proofreading, typesetting, and coordinating
living in a translations' paradise

Paradise is a strong word. Ever tried cleaning and redrawing sfx over flowery background?

I'm aware that translating is no joke. although, this is meant to be a joke song.

Yup, I meant it in a playful way. Internet communication is complicated (I probably should have used a tone indicator, I guess).

Wow, talk about a blast from the past. The last time I've read this one, nobody has ever heard of a "coronavirus" before...

I hate to nitpick but SARS was 2002.

It was a colorful exaggeration. I am aware that epidemiologists have been studying coronaviruses since the 1930s, I was merely pointing out that the previous update of this manga's translation was published several weeks before the novel coronavirus later designated COVID-19 was reported to the CCDC, much less to the general public.

Jokes are like frogs. :-)

Yeah, I got the joke. It's just... I don't want people to forget SARS and MERS. But it's new years eve, we should probably be talking about happier stuff. Sorry for bringing the mood down.

I think there should be more cats

I support this petition.

What are the odds it ends in a polycule with Himawari involved?

Probably pretty low considering all the extras the author has drawn that just depict the main couple, I'd guess, but it still seems like several of Himawari's interactions with our main ladies are basically flirting.

Extras? There's extras? Where can I find those?
