Interesting, I didn't understand the same from the last sentence in Japanese "あやちゃんなら、待てる？"
For me, Kanna is saying: "Aya-chan, can you wait?" (referencing Mitsuki, obviously).

It can be interpreted both way, but I'm leaning towards my interpretation, just because this is how I felt when I read it. Though, nothing indicates it would be the correct one. I guess we'll know next time (or not!).

Both interpretations are valid.

Without the brackets, I would have chosen something like "And you Aya-chan, will you wait?" or something similar.

But the brackets indicate something like a quotation, so I erred to the side of thinking Kanna was asking Aya to put herself in her shoes.

The end result is the same in any case: it's asking Aya-chan if she's able to wait for Mitsuki.

Yes, indeed, in the end, it doesn't change much the overall meaning. Sometimes, authors actually use different furigana (instead of points) to clear the misunderstanding, but I think Sumiko sensei like to be ambiguous.

That was really nice! Cute, sexy and good art. I wish we could have see the second round as well.

The part about the costumes at Donki made me laugh. I tried to find an Halloween costume a month ago and they only had really sexy ones... I mean, it's fine, people can dress as they want but I wish they had something other than sexy nurse, sexy nun or sexy school girl x)

Oooh loved seeing koto’s point of view. Also if I remember correctly, both Koto and Erika (by mentioning it) have seen/talked to Aya on the night of the festival, but only Aya herself doesn’t remember having gone at all (since to her, it hasn’t happened yet). I wonder why - did she wish to go back in time before the festival? And why wear a mask? (Unless that’s part of the festival tradition; I have no idea - but either way, it felt like Aya was hiding/running away with that mask.) Very interesting, I love this.

That part was just a dream. Koto didn't meet nor did see Aya during the festival. It's common for kids to buy/wear masks during festivals, but I don't think it holds a particular significance in this case. It just symbolizes Koto feeling that she has been abandoned by Aya (voluntary or not).

I've never intended to disrespect the translator... If anything, I'm grateful for their work, I wouldn't have been aware of this manga otherwise.

I've also never intended to spoil for the sake of spoiling. My point was just to find a place to talk about the latest release, but I understand that that place is not here, no problem.

That being said, I did not appreciate the tone of the reply from the translator, which was quite passive aggressive... But let's stop the conversation about that, and let's wait for the next translated chapter (again, I'm grateful for the great translation!) to get back into a proper discussion about the manga :)

PS: If mods think those messages are not related to the manga and should be deleted, no problem!

Damn, the last chapter... Anyone here have read the latest released chapter? Or anyone knows where it is possible to discussed raw chapter? I'd be curious to know if there are some good Japanese Yuri forums.

Yes, l have read the last chapter but please don't spoiler here. And as far as I know, there's no Japanese Yuri forums discussing this manga now (but they did have mentioned it several times). You can go to X to find some reviews about this chapter.

Yeah, I wouldn't spoil anything without blacking it out in the first place.

I don't care much about reviews, I'm more interested into discussing it, but thanks, it'll take a look at Twitter (still can't say X ...).

Damn, the last chapter... Anyone here have read the latest released chapter? Or anyone knows where it is possible to discussed raw chapter? I'd be curious to know if there are some good Japanese Yuri forums.

we finally reached the major turning point in the story i'm so excited. only 10 more years til we catch up to the novels ༎ຶ⁠‿⁠༎ຶ

Ten years? Is the gap that big?

Beginning of tome 12 (manga) is the end of the 3rd tome of the light novel. The 8th tome of the LN got released this year. The manga has been running for 5 years. You can do your calculations... But yeah, it will take a while.

The way Sorawo eventually has her breakthrough to get past this was one of the funniest long running punchlines I've ever seen lmao.

Care to share? I actually don't remember it.

Not an unexpected turn of events when you steal your employer's youngest daughter.
I don't really know how I want this to turn out. She needed that job, right? But getting into a fight with your boss isn't going to make for a pleasant working environment.
Can they fire her for this, though? I don't know about Japan's labour laws (real or fictional)

Pretty much only Europe that has laws about firing people (other than in really extreme/crazy circumstances). Japan can fire you for anything, just like most of the world.

I don't know from where you are taking your information but this is wrong. Depending on your contract, it can be extremely difficult to fire you in Japan.

In the case of Satou, because she is part time, she is most likely a baito or just a contractor and therefore can be fired at any time, it is true. But a lot of employees, if not the majority in the country are under a seishain contract (undefined contact) and it's extremely difficult to fire someone under that contract. That's why there are a lot of companies that are bullying employees in order for them to quit (like sending them to other branches, far from their homes...).

Very dumb and not very subtle twist, it's like 10 chapters late to be interesting (it hasn't been "years" since Yuzu-perspective chapter, I think we literally never had one). I'm honestly very disappointed it's that simple, and I'd argue it doesn't even explain her behaviour up to this point very well - you can talk about suppressing feelings all you want but this clearly showed she isn't completely oblivious.

It was not worth to hide all that just to uphold the gimmick of "Minami is dumb" from the last 17 chapters, it doesn't even feel consistent - I certainly don't have that "a-ha" moment that now everything makes sense.

My feelings exactly. It's like what my old writing professor would say about "joke" stories. If you set something up that depends so heavily on the eventual reveal, you're basically creating a joke. The entire framework of your story now depends almost entirely on the punchline and if the punchline isn't deemed worth it the entire story falls apart for the reader. This punchline didn't work for me. Not only is it too late and not very explanatory but it's also so standard.

Same feeling here... The chapter was great in itself, but it's happening way too late and doesn't fit the narrative so far. In the end, I understand this was supposed to be an impactful chapter but it fell completely flat to me. That's a real shame...

So, what exactly was Makino's endgame here, Rina is just as gay she is, and seems she wont get her money cut off, so if the dude hadnt had a gay awakening, how else would she have gotten the dude to back off?

Unless the actual plan was to get Rina to scare him away.

I think we saw her endgame, such as it was--she really thought just introducing Rina and running off would work.

Well, it did work out in the end :p that is what's funny about her. She always find the worse possible solution to her problems, and somehow, it's working out. I mean, the manga started with her calling a prostitute to forget about her problems, and it led her to better herself, and possibly getting her into college.

This fucking sucks lmao

A blessing upon all aspiring writers: may your editors be merciless

Yup... I still so don't get how we go from Still Sick to that...

Okay, so I'm guessing that "Song 1" is just the first song but...

Song 4, Babymetal
Song 3, Stone Sour
Song 2, Blur
Song 1, ??? ... is there one? If not someone should make it happen lol

I don't think she is writing down a playlist... I think she had a sudden inspiration to write her own songs and that she was writing the first one. That's why we are seeing her back from the last panel, writing down stuff on paper.

If they dont confess next chapter im going to kill myself in front of them

I have bad news for you....
It will be probably take 2/3 addional chapters.

I just realized that the dude is the other cram school teacher

Nice catch, I would have completely missed that detail. It would be fun to see them date in the future.

I can't really say the manga is bad, but I'm not invested at all in the characters or the story. I don't even want the main MCs to be together. I see no connection not romantic feelings between them.

I'll probably continue to read it, but this is big disappointment after Still Sick.

The last few pages of chapter 4 gave me chills but I do agree that this is probably just a metaphor. I think this was made to emphasize the theme of Tanabata, as in a tragedy, where characters are not in control of their destiny. The answer of Erika is also intriguing, as if she was relieved.

But so far, nothing indicates that Koto is manipulative. If we exclude the last pages of chapter 4, Koto just seems a bit confused and kind of dull. The gap between Koto and Aya is blatant though and somehow, it looks like Erika is connecting more genuinely with Aya than Koto (this is true in the following chapters as well). Mostly because she is able to be her true self with Aya, while Koto seems to have shut downed her feeling 7 years ago, making it difficult for Aya to connect with her. At least, that's the way I see it.

It still don't now what the purpose of the story is, nor how the relationship with those three characters will evolve, but this is one of my favorites lately. I really like the slow pace of Kabocha's stories.

Btw, the first volume was released as an ebook only, no physical copy. Try to support the author if you can, I don't think their are selling a lot (though, chapters are being released on some webcomic plateforms as well). I do hope there are enough sells in order to justify a physical release at one point.

Why did you basically rephrase my comment? It reads like it was put through chatgpt? Could this really be an unbelievable coincidence or? Why do that?

This is hilarious. It does look like a student that tried to copy their friend's essay and failed to make it different enough so it wouldn't be noticable.

When I see characters try so hard to avoid a relationship I start cheering for them to actually succeed... which makes me always bitter when it fails. Guess my aro-ness at work, making me project my insecurities on them.
I don't get why the authors write tsunderes resisting so much. It's not dramatic, it feels like they are forced by the author to fall in love and makes me feel awful for both sides.

maybe because people actualy wanna be in an god damn relationship and ofc you already sayd the issue here….your projecting really hard, the huge majority of people on earth when they say they don’t wanna an relationship is for different reasons that yours for sure, also way in hell will you read romance stories and NOT expect the story to be about romance???

I kind of understand the issue with tsundere in most Chinese and Korean webcomic. Most of times, the characters are badly written, and we are not able to see past their behaviors. Tsundere are fine and most of times, they are like that because of insecurities. I always like to see that kind of relationship dynamic where one of the main characters have to pierce through that insecurity and help the tsundere to go out of their shell. When it's well written, it's both interesting and rewarding. But in this webcomic, we only see the tsundere side and the characters are pretty shallow overall. Which make their behaviors look ridiculous.

But well, the art style is good, so I guess I'll keep reading. But to me, of lot of those webcomics are my yuri junk food.

Satou-san was really cute this chapter, especially when she was pouting. It's so nice to see her falling for Makino.

Im confused. Is chapter 26 Real or just a dream? And Ch. 26.1 was years ago?

26.1 is just a past event, not relevant to the main story. This is a bonus chapter that is only available if you purchase the time 2. All other chapters are available for free on the website (at least for a while) and they gave a preview of the bonus chapter so people are entice to buy it.

I'm not sure what you mean for chapter 26, but it's not a dream. This is just the chapter leading to the beach event.

I am really enjoying the dynamic of this maiden who accidentally tops an experienced top with her overwhelming bottom energy

Surprisingly, this is a really good summary of the manga lol

Some of you seem confused by the transition between chapters? But I think it's crystal clear! Yes, the author skipped some parts because she didn't want to waste space in obvious and uninteresting stuff, but that isn't really a problem: the narrative is smooth.

It's not crystal clear. It's understandable overall, but it's breaking the narrative pattern that have been established since the first chapter. Every time a problem or misunderstanding arises, it's addressed the following chapter. In this case, the misunderstanding was Satou seing Makino with that guy and thinking she broke her promise. The following chapter, we have Makino's mother at the cram school saying her daughter will quit. While we can connect the dots ourself, it's not was we were expecting and it requires a little bit of thinking. What was expected was Satou confronting Makino, or Makino giving the ring to Satou and resolving the issue.

I genuinely thought I had skip a chapter after reading this one. If I'm not the only one, the problem is definitely on the author's side. Nothing too problematic though, just not as smooth as usual.

I'm dearly hoping that one of the next chapters mentions something along the lines of "a substantial increase in the number of known couples" in their school.

Also, I may or may not have a thing for teachers, but I am ecstatic about the prospect of the teacher now being actively part of Kanon's harem.

I'm also very interested in the reveal about Lucifer. I'm reading it as her being close with Kanon at some point in their lives, and the cruel twist of fate is that now she's on the "opposite team", or something like that.

All the kissing aside, which really is more than enough in my book, I actually like that there's at least some semblance of a plotline. Looking forward to seeing where this goes. Also the inevitable kissing duel between Kanon and Lucifer.

Sometimes, when trying to decide if I want to pick an ongoing manga, I like to read comments about the latest chapter. It can gives some good information about if it's worth reading or not, given the appreciation of people over time.

And well, wth is this all about ^^' I guess the title says it all.
