Please tell me we still have plenty of chapters to go. They're really quite soothing.

Sigh... Omichi being all badum around the little girl is uncomfortable. The little girl having a crush on Hino isn't a problem but like, why do we need this side plot? I'm used to lolis in manga by now but seriously if they weren't there my life would be so much better. Same goes for weird sexist tropes in shoujo manga.

What exactly is the problem? Omichi and Rin aren’t dating. They aren’t having sex. They aren’t a couple. The younger girl’s intelligence and emotional bravery makes Omichi’s heart go doki-doki, and she told her so, full stop. As I’ve said, the chances of things going any further between the two are practically nil.

And why do any stories ever “need” side plots? Usually, to mark time with low-stakes conflicts that reflect back on the MCs situation just like this one does. (Koguma having to consider Hino kissing someone else is an entirely new development.)

Yo, you're mixing in spoiler content that hasn't quite yet arrived here.
Omichii hasn't told Rin yet, I don't think Koguma having to consider Hino kissing someone else has happened here yet either.

Also Ch. 128 has me like How is Kinniku Tarou going to get out of this one without it actually happening? Because we all know Kinniku Tarou is going to get out of this one without it actually happening.

I kinda can't believe I did not see this discussion coming, knowing what the chapters would hold.

Also I'd been dying to joke about how I could now also see Daphie jumping into the (temporary and now partly solved) translation bonanza, since the Rin/Omichii topic has brought the Manga into her strike zone!

Cute, but not as cute as the Shimi Iriko version of the hand cream trope

Yep, still fluffy.

Reliably and predictably comfortable, even if it doesn't seem to be "going anywhere" (though you could argue that Sensei is starting to warm up now?)

In 125, how would you handle 姫始め? (Google translates it literally as ‘Princess beginning’, which hardly needs to be spoilered at all.)

Tough one. I can't think of a good way to retain the ambiguity, but I'm not a native speaker. Maybe something like "Let's go have the new year's first time at my place.", but I'd hardly call that an improvement.

Idk, looks like she's still enjoying herself.

The fakeout is never a surprise, but it's always a pleasure.

I guess that's almost especially true for 122 and 123. The finger licking and the portrait were a real treat.

Ok, so 123 was fucking wild, even hy Hino-san standards...

All I can say about this author is, "Troll me harder, daddy!"

Well, the fakeout should not have come as a surprise regardless, since their teacher would never allow a nude portrait of a student to be submitted anyway :D
I love how curiously prepared Hino was and still claimed ignorance regarding the deadline. I'm sure she had it all planned out. If not, what else did she have planned with those pasties? Kogu was asking the right questions there, but probably didn't come to the right conclusion.

Ok, so 123 was fucking wild, even hy Hino-san standards...

It's not about keeping the project, it's about how you approach it and collaborate. As I said, I have no problem with stepping down. I also would have liked to upload the chapters very quickly but sometimes there's life. It's about how you do it and how you communicate with the other scanlators

Sure, you should always expect that much as common courtesy and it's a real shame if that gets omitted. I lack the scanlation-insider perspective to gauge how easy it would have been for them to assess the current TL status and make contact with you and Stan. Since I don't have that perspective, my rationalization would be that they went only by the status on Mangadex, which was "usurped my MTL, last Cyan Steam chapter 6 months ago". Doesn't make it right, but might just help understand why it went wrong.

Ok, what's with the "Parody" tag? Is it something in the show I haven't watched yet or is there some other material/meme I'm unaware of?

Regardless, this is fucking great.

Yaaaay!
New YagaKimi fanart!
These two just never get old.

Yaaay, Horny Bocchi serialization ho!

Believe that the work on Mangadex has not be redeem to be good enough to be upload here and in any case, Cue asked Stan if it was ok for them to take over the project.

Dynasty's versions are 25 chapters behind the original version, which is getting a new one weekly now, apparently.
Hino-san needed someone to do a sprint to catch up. xKs, the person on Mangadex, doesn't seen to be doing any other series (at least on MD) and thus can provide that with relative ease. Sure, I'd rather have a Cuetie or Cyan Steam version with that bit of extra polish in the long run, but polish usually takes time and/or boundless motivation.

This is getting out of hand. Now Cuetie also want in on the action!

Looking forward to this showing up here in any form, because there’s lots to talk about.

Being caught up to 118 now I can only agree.
Doesn't seem like xKs has slowed down yet, so I'm sure we'll be moving along even further in the next few days, since the original is approaching the 130s apparently.

Edit: Read up to and including ch. 107 just now. The translation itself is okay, but it's a solo job with what feels like little TS and probably no redrawing. It's fair enough to give it a chance, let's see how long xKs keeps it up.

I think the quality is p servicable at the very least. I can't judge the translation itself but things make sense, flow well and the typesetting looks neatly done.
Personally i view redrawing as mostly optional anyway (i tend to prefer the "leave OG sfx and put romanji/translation next to them" way) and they do seem to do their research and stuff. Can't complain so far. Def better than the three chapters before xKs started that were literally just MTLs.

It's really growing on me and I take back what I said.

Would this be a case for Insane Amounts of Hand-holding? Kinda lewd enough to warrant the warning!

Edit: Ah, I think the tag was added while typing :D (or I missed it before, which happens)

It's really less about that and more about whether there will be anything to wait for at all, seeing how Tsuki-chan also has the Chads no Teikoku tag, making that comment essentially a declaration of the Chads dropping this series in favor of whoever else is doing it. So it would be good to know if the other translation is actually worth this, since there have also been plenty of series sniped like this by rather questionable translators.

Yeah, I know. I haven't read the spoilered contents, but I didn't really see any complaints. Guess it's good enough to take the plunge.

Looks like there is someone else doing scanlations of this, I will leave it to them then! Hopefully someone will post it here too

So you deem their quality acceptable?

i can’t decide which anime-villain/scary-authority voice this comment should be read in.

One that insistently demands an answer because it doesn't want to remain in the limbo of deciding whether to wait for the TLs to arrive here and risk spoilers from careless users, get off the thread for an unknown length of time, or hop on Mangadex to get it over with.

Yay for Stan and the Chads!
I, too, am skeptical about the new loli, but I trust the author to keep fooling with us and not lose sight of the goal we shall keep approaching but never reach!

I think it absolutely makes sense that Tsukushi and probably Hinoka are clueless about Sara and Yuu's relationship.
Sara and Yuu may not exactly be hiding it, but they'd obviously not openly announced it previously and close (s)kinship is to an extent less conspicuous among girls, which is an excuse Tsukushi herself very often uses. When they more or less explicitly stated that they were going out by asking about a double date, Tsukushi was in no position to actually notice what was being said and completely absorbed in rumination and self-doubt.

As such, I'd say LTalon's points are particularly applicable here.

While I'm not exactly thrilled at the idea of getting one chapter or less per month for a manga I love that's way behind and (used to) release a new jp chapter every two weeks, I gotta say I'm not quite sure I'm willing to jump ship to another TL.

I saw the title and my brain immediately went to...impure places. I am ashamed.

Please do not the doors.

or rather "please do not eat out the doors"
