Not to go all “skeleton xylophone” on this, but the bar can’t actually be in the same spot as the CD shop - here, the bar clearly is on the basement level, you have to go down a flight of stairs to get to it. But you can see in all other chapters that the record store was right off the street with a big picture window next to it.

It doesn't say it's in the same place though. It says that in the shopping street the cd shop stood, there's now a music bar.

The phrasing is a bit ambiguous,but for me, it means that the cd shop closed and in that street, a music bar opened.

Uncle probably sold the shop before going to the US.

I'm not surprised Mitsuki didn't go to college. She must be working and doing music at the same time. Gotta eat before making it big.

Nice.

It's still unknown what they actually identify as, anyway. That's the point.

And I wonder what’s taking so long with the updates…

It's published in a quarterly magazine. Which means 3 chapters a year.

Quarterly would imply every 3 months, since 12 / 4 = 3. Every 4 months aka 3 chapters a year would either be quadrimestral or triannual respectively. Both of which i've never heard before looking them up literally just now xD

Anyway, whatever the name is, "Rakuen Le Paradis" has 3 issues per year: February 28th, June 30th and October 31th for the physical releases. And a month later for the digital releases.

Since this is using the digital release, we can expect, at the earliest, chapters in April, August and December.

Looks like the scanlator sat on the "August" chapter for a few months. Not that it changes much of anything.

The thick plottens.

And it's already been sniped on MD. (╯°□°)╯( ┻━┻

I hope /u/ doesn't drop it, because otherwise, it won't ever be updated here ever again.

Golly, this is just the fluffiest yuri story, isn't it? lol

Unless...

I got whiplash after the tone of the previous chapter

Next timeskip will probably be about Mao and Chizuru

Smells like she's wrapping it up for finishing it at volume 4, with a few vignettes of their future life.

I don't think she wants to write about the musical career of Mitsuki.

Lipstick covered face

She's using a "find my items" tracker app on her iPhone, so it can be anything, even a key chain.

As far as I remember, they're now high school 3rd years and had their fall out in 3 year of middle school (probably).

So, at least 3 years have passed since Yuhi rejected Sakurako.

Most probably, Yuhi, after that, already got her comeuppance by getting dumped by a senpai (the one who gave her the necklace) and on which she's still hung up and that she tries to get over (unsuccessfully, as can be seen how she's attached to that necklace) by playing around.

Door-to-door salesmen are very common in Japan. They can sell everything, from Encyclopedias to magical water and Vacuum cleaners. Or they can belong to cults and try to convince you to join.

They're almost always guaranteed to find someone, because housewives stay home most of the time in Japan.

It's a common pattern shown in manga too.

A drill that will pierce the heavens.

So, Bisexual ?

I forget. Do we know if Yuni and Nanase have had sex?

It's hinted they had. When Yuni and Fuuko are having sex, Yuni reminisces about Nanase's body.

Didnt really care much for this chapter, just feels like a rather boring "calm before the storm" but im partly worried
any chapter without Fuuko just tends not to interest me. I really hope we arent entering a "camp arc" plot derailment for the next few chapters or im sensing a big fat drop

"This manga kept me hooked for 7 volumes, but I don't like the latest chapter, so I'm gonna drop it."

Is that how the Gen Z thinks? "Reward my time Immediately or you're cancelled."

Kinda messy.

For next chapter, I'd rather see Fuuko calling Yuni for help and Yuni leaving the camp and Nanase to go rescue her.

I fully expect the next chapter, as the last chapter of the volume, to push the drama to eleven.

Damn right Ema. You don't have to keep toxic people in your life, even if they're family.

This is my theory, but Akiyama Haru actually recycled her character from "Brides of Iberis", but this time with a twist: she's dead emotionally (which Tsuzuki wasn't).

As we saw, Kaede is an emotional vampire. She literally doesn't feel strong emotions. She doesn't feel "alive", except through the love of other people. When people truly love her, she feels like she exists.

So, I think that if she ever comes across Ai x Kon's couple, she wouldn't mind to share. Or even be shared between her husband and Ai. The more love for her, the better.

She never attempted to divorce from her husband and even keeps sending him texts to keep him hooked.

So, in the end, she doesn't actually "love" her husband or Ai, she only loves to be loved, as it makes her feel alive. So, she's, in fact, bisexual, probably poly and maybe even aro.

That obviously won't fly with Kon, which is obsessed with the "normality" her mother hammered into her, but I can see Kaede trying to seduce Kon too.

In this chapter, we saw fissures starting to appear in Kon and Ai's relationship. Kon doesn't understand why Ai would want to keep in touch with Kaede and Ai is haunted by Kaede and now, may suspect Kon of collusion with the husband.

This is going to be a huge mess. Not that I mind. I hope Akiyama Haru gets to do what she wants and is not axed, like the previous manga.

Looks like Kon never let go of her obsession about being "normal".

She chose the wrong partner for that.
