A cat's fine too.

She had her own ambitions. I don't see why she should have given up on them.

To note, their break up was a mutual agreement. There's no real bad blood between them. But it's obviously a bitter memory for her, because he somewhat led her on to finally chicken out. She loved him and thought they would build something together, but life didn't let them.

I wouldn't say it's Joe's fault either, because he had to take care of Mitsuki (for yet unexplained reasons). That's just life.

But in the present time, Kanna came back temporarily and Joe kind of took her for granted, conveniently forgetting that she had to go back eventually and had a life over there, that he's not part of.

Maybe she even has a man there (seeing that flashback panel where she's talking with a man with glasses who looks at her gently).

So, as she says, it's too late. She needs to leave, because the longer she stays, the more they look away from reality, the more painful it becomes.

Shishizaki is totally gay.

You do argue two slightly different things, though: that Erika "knows" how Aya really feels and that she "guesses" how she feels, and I think only the latter is the case. Aya is definitely acting as if she isn't deeply affected by the breakup.

To add my two cents as the translator, I used "most likely, Aya hides her sadness and pain behind a smile" as Erika's thought, but it's a choice.

Because the Japanese is きっと, which if you look at https://jisho.org/search/%E3%81%8D%E3%81%A3%E3%81%A8 means "surely; undoubtedly; almost certainly; most likely (e.g. 90 percent)".

I chose to translate it as the last one, to keep the bit of uncertainty, but it could have been "I'm sure Aya hides her sadness and pain behind a smile".

In short, there's very little doubt Erika is perfectly aware that Aya is in pain, and doesn't really care.

Not that she has to. Aya is her rival after all.

I don't know what's so complicated about Erika. She just wants Koto to chose her over Aya. That's her "desire". That would resolve all her inferiority complexes and longing.

For that, she wants Koto to be clear headed about Aya and not wallow in her obsession, so she's trying to "break the triangle" in her own way, without hurting either Koto or Aya.

After all, she's the only one who knows the triangle exists.

I'm done with the backfill.

The whole series is now up-to-date on Dynasty.

So I came back to this series after sleeping on it for a long time, and suddenly the uncle is an aunt and people are saying it's always been that way and I'm confused. Any chance of getting the translations of the tankoubon version here, since it's apparently so different from what we have?

Also that bit with Kon dissolving inside the monster was not cool. Bring her back.

I read both and there's no fundamental difference. The story is the same, but I guess the author wanted to give more importance to that character and a hot aunt fit their plans better than a scruffy uncle.

I'm not gonna retranslate the 1st volume.

Miyagi (Rich Anti-socal loner girl) has complicated feelings toward our popular girl (MC).

I guess to Miyagi, Sendai (MC) is pretty much the closet person to a friend/best she actually has so far

Miyagi has friends. She's not a loner or an outcast.

She's just not in the "popular" caste.

Miyagi has trust issues and can't believe deep down that someone would be want to genuinely associate with her without an incentive (money) and Sendai, while tired by the weight of the mask she wears at all time, can't really drop it as it's become part of her.

Is it just for me or is page 33 of chapter 7 missing?

No?

I have next chapter and no, they didn't have sex or anything like that

Btw, no chapter this month in Yurihime.

I made some fixes here and there, mainly cosmetic (missing sfx, wrong phrasing).

To note, I'm now current with the complete published chapters.

Chapters are published 12 pages per 12 pages and chapter 16 has only 24 pages for now.

The last 12 should come in the next weeks.

Full (and clean) art of the cover of volume 1 Yodokawa posted on twitter.

So, it's over.

It was one of the first manga I translated 3 years ago (along with Fuzoroi) and I can see all the ways I improved along the way. It was a real pleasure to do this manga (see, I'm not translating only toxic stuff).

There'll probably be an extra chapter in vol 5, which I'll do, of course.

In the meantime, if you liked this manga, buy it. Yodokawa deserves it.

For everyone's information, I'm dropping the scanlation of this manga, for various reasons:

• This is redraw heavy, with floating text over art everywhere, so it takes me days just to redraw a chapter.
• This has been licensed and the 1st volume is already out, so there's little point in continuing
• This is actually not easy to give the translation justice, because the characters are speaking a really colloquial/slangy Japanese.
• And last but not least, people just couldn't get into this manga because the co-MC kissed a guy.

So, if you want to read it, just buy Tokyo Pop's release.

An article about it.

So yeah, Medieval people loved to bath.

The black plague changed a lot of things.

Really sucks to be Yuki. Saw Yuni kissing Fuuko before and knows she is cheating, probably has some unrequited feelings for Nanase, and when she finally tries to hint at the cheating in her meek manner, Nanase is slamming her into walls.

It hurts my soul how this girl is being punished for doing the right thing...

I hope we find out in a couple chapters that Yuki actually enjoyed that and wants Nanase to do that again.

You, Sir, are my kind of reader.

“Come back in a year!” - Aya, probably

not sure if that's a good idea. she came back a month later. if a year goes by, little Freckle-chan will grow up more beautiful and towered over Aya.

Well, they’ll be 3rd years by then (I’m pretty sure Aya and Koga are 2nd years at least) so they wont be in school long enough for the Kouhai to rizz Koga up (I think they’re currently halfway through their school year? Idk I’m dumb)

plus, if Aya hasn’t already won Koga’s heart in that time, then the new girl deserves a chance, lol

Koga and Aya have been 3rd years for a while.

That's the whole point of Koga maybe leaving for L.A. with Kanna soon.

New pages up on Twitter.

In which we learn that Hime is no quitter. She actually waited for a month lol.
And Narita, never change

Couldn't wait to spoil, could you?

I'm not fast enough, is that it?

So, um, yeah.

After a long hiatus, the author finished it.

I can tell they had more in store at first, but, then I don't know what happened, but they just kind of gave up (maybe they got a life).

Half-assed ending, but at least, it's an ending (I'm looking at you, Zyugoya).

ch 7 pg 18, "she bad with spicy food" -> "she's bad with spicy food"

Clean your cache, because it's been fixed weeks ago.

I'm now caught up with the raws.

Next chapter is at the end of august.

The truth of the matter is that someone who can't bear seeing their loved one with another person can't possibly get involved in a polyamory relationship.

Maybe it's two sides of the same coin, but it wasn't exactly that Kashiwai resented Akiyama being with other people, it's more the math of being one in three. I think the key moment is when Kashiwai looked at the calendar and realized that she would be getting face time with Akiyama two to three days a week.

I think it's relevant that the one thing we get to see about Kashiwai's life with glasses girl is that they are doing something spontaneous together. That's not something that she would have been able to do with Akiyama, not unless it happened to be during their assigned time slot.

Akiyama is the author. The character is Tsuzuki.

Bad End.

Wonder what those lyrics on the chalkboard say. I’m curious if there’s anything specific about Aya in them or if they’re just generic love song lyrics

The lyrics are almost illegible. There has been attempts to decipher it, but it's doesn't make much sense.

Plus, it has to be known it's MTL from English by the dude xD
