"Maiden" doesn't convey the connotations of 稚児 (chigo) at all.

Wow that was a completely different word than I thought it was. I should have looked at the raw. Add that to the list of words I've never heard before.

You sweet summer child is that GOT reference :) ?

Added by the translator yes. This translation pulls in all sorts of western references and is somewhat localized.

This isn't "interracial" whoever is calling it that is simply wrong. It's like calling a white person from Appalachia in a relationship with a white person from California "interracial". They're both from the same country and speak the same first language and they're both asian.

I'm really tired of all the users here who constantly call out "assault" or "molestation" or "abuse". Clearly too many people that spent too much time on tumblr and not enough time in the real world.

aw wait did they seriously turn her from a 19 year old to a 16 year old? that's fucked man

Just go to Europe. It's legal many places there as long as there isn't a power imbalance (teacher/student, parent/child, etc).

AW, the ending was so cute!! Even though I was hoping that this series would’ve been longer, I enjoyed it and am satisfied with the ending

Lol some of these comments are amusing. Ima just sprinkle some of my controversial opinions: Me, myself and I personally believe that there is no predator nor victim here. I’m sure all of you are strictly law abiding citizens who would never think about committing crimes, even the most petty ones. But if you can manage to look past rigid (and arbitrary) laws, I think their relationship was consensual. The younger girl wasn’t raped nor coerced. Sure, she was seduced, but she also consented to everything that happened afterwards without any form of resistance. Since she has fully functioning mental faculties as well as reproductive capabilities, I believe her consent is valid :)

Yanno I've noticed a trend with your comments. >.> Please tell me you're not actually a pedophile who has a dodgy understanding of consent.

"Consent" is constantly getting redefined, what it means today is quite a bit different to what it meant 50 years ago and entirely unrecognizable to what it meant through most of human history. Yes consent is important, but I think it's important to not forget how rapidly things have changed and how poorly defined such things are. Thinking consent is a fixed and well defined and understandable thing I think is a sign of not having much life experience. What the term means differs vastly between cultures even in modern day world. It even differs between western countries, though to a lesser extent. Your own parents and grandparents probably define consent differently than you as well.

And DRAAAAMAAA right from the first chapter. I freaking hate this manga, but I need to keep reading it.

Body shapes are a complete mess. Why do their head sizes keep changing? They have like shrunken heads.

Massive arm in one panel and thin arm in the third panel??? https://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/itoshi_koishi_ch01#10

I'm really not sure why you feel the need to liveblog your reading this BV, but surely you could take it to your own Twitter where it belongs?

Sorry, m8, I don't have a twitter.

Forums are for discussion, not places for you to one-sidedly make nonsensical posts. Note: If you really want to make a bunch of comments, write ONE post with all your comments in the single post. Double posting or triple posting, which you do constantly, is very rude and annoying on forums. Please also note that you can edit your existing posts to add more comments if you want, no need to make another post.

Not posting at all is also a highly suggested option.

In unrelated news: I have some crazy idea, but I'll have to say it at the Dynasty Cafe thread, or, even more preferably, on the Sasameki Koto thread. If you're interested, see me there.

Please don't advertise your own posts, it's tacky.

You, in particular, should keep more to the topic of the discussion since you've already been told to take off-topic stuff elsewhere. Please have at least that tiniest bit of self-control.

Banning people is always an option.

Sometimes I wish these improbable things would happen to me

Children are sexually curious beings, just like teens and adults. But unlike them, children don’t suppress their desires. This happening to you isn’t improbable, there’s a chance it might :p

Umm... does the forum have a way to report actual pedophiles? Second poster crossed a line here.

Or how about you realize that sarcastic comments don't imply actual intent let alone actually doing something. The people on this site sometimes need to learn how to relax.

The poster isn't wrong either, technically, for the record (my own childhood experiences is a direct reference, ever heard of "playing doctor"?). Though the way they said it is somewhat creepy.

Jeez that pacing was a fucking disaster. One non-sequitur after another. Completely impossible to understand what each character is thinking from one scene to the next.

This manga got a drama cd!

https://twitter.com/aconbwakame/status/1067075404245004290?s=19

Casts include:

Komatsu Mikako as Chiaki

Speaking of which, why isn't Jahy-sama wa Kujikenai on dynasty scans? Is it not yuri enough?

Please ban BV, they're filling the Bloom into You discussion pages with several pages of nonsense. https://dynasty-scans.com/forum/topics/6616-bloom-into-you-discussion?page=153 And the pages responding to them.

It's turning into general discussion about literally anything and everything. Not to mention people linking porn videos into the thread.

Can mods delete all these nonsense posts unrelated to the topic?

I really enjoyed this one good ending for 2 Airheads

It's not over. Stop saying it's over.

Good grief. Both these girls are 15/16. Calling it loli or lolicon is a bit much. They both have plentiful boobs as well. So character age wise and appearance wise they don't look like children so its not loli nor lolicon.

It should come with a disclaimer. Don't try this at home, kids.

I find it interesting the drastic shift media/social perception has taken in the last 10-odd years or so where unwanted one-time kisses went from innocent to utterly sinister. It's like whiplash things changed so fast and people even act as if it's always been this way.

Has the translation passed the anime yet?

Nope. This chapter (42) is in episode 9 from 4:41 to 7:43. https://www.crunchyroll.com/slow-start/episode-9-gorilla-in-a-swimsuit-759795

The anime jumped around in chapters some though so there's been plenty of chapters that weren't in the anime.

HOW IS THERE A NEW CHAPTER SO SOON?! BRB GONNA GO READ IT

Because there's several volumes out and magazine scans further than that, that are available. It's just based on the speed of the translator/typesetter.

People keep saying these characters look like girls, but it appears people aren't looking very much at the art. The author very intentionally draws all these anatomically male characters with lots of musculature in their hands and legs in almost every scene they're in. Those are not the legs/hands of asian women. It's only their faces that look somewhat feminine.

For example: https://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/fukakai_na_boku_no_subete_o_ch04#10

In the top panel look at the shoulder positioning and the shape of the hands and elbows. Also in the bottom right panel look at Mogu's legs. The author really intentionally seems to put male musculature everywhere they can manage to do it without increasing the drawing effort too much. If they were drawn to be girls then those would be smooth rounded curves without angular features as that's standard for female anime/manga characters. As a straight guy it was something I noticed right away that these characters are not female body types.

why can't humanity just be lesbians

Because homo sapiens have sexual dimorphism.

Having worked with explosive chemicals before, every one of these scenes where they're holding glass containers and then drop two hypergolic liquids together and it explodes blowing out the building windows and presumably the glass itself, but they still have all their fingers, annoy me. They should be writhing in pain with their hand dismembered, but not only do they have their hands intact, their clothes are untouched and they're not covered in glass shrapnel embedded in their skin.

That's uniform....the artist is probably Thai.

Curious... Why is that uniform specifically Thai?

This is my take on the characters so far;
Suzu - A boy who enjoys crossdressing. Nothing wrong with that! He even uses "Ore" to refer to himself.

Suzu is gay as well, you missed that.
