The extra is very cute, I do feel like I got hit over the head seeing their birthdates as 2006 and 2008 respectively... I'm not used to see people that much younger than me to be adults lmao.

I don't want you to stop translating this because it's extremely good but I do have to say that the people who do stuff like posting it on twitter and the people reading it here have genuinely very little overlap, MD and twitter people will not listen to this unfortunately and it sucks.

Please don't stop translating the series just because some people can't help themselves.

to be fair, the author is on Bsky and I have seen people talking about the manga on bsky so it's less about twitter specifically and more about social media in general.

the second panel Yurika was in I knew who she was going to be lmao. Because first we see her from the back, not unusual nothing particularly out of place but then we see her purely by footsteps which is a weird way to introduce a character unless we're not meant to see her in full just yet. The rest of the page being more of the same until her name gets revealed hammered home that we didn't just get introduced to the orignal Kouhai we're getting the original couple wholesale.

And if we thought it was ugly before let's get ready!!!!

I've already read this on MD but honestly re-reading the chapter makes me think, Does Hinata's time travel have the strict time limit of that one month after which she was deposited right back in the future? Does she just have to hope that by giving Yuzuki the biggest self-esteem glow up of all time get her through the ten years Hinata cannot access?

no wonder Yukie is enigmatically smiling on the cover. She's firing all cylinders at anyone who threatens her or her wife.

Appstore. I am not going to quote because I don't want to fill up the page with repeated text so instead here's my response.

Yeah, that's what I meant mate. Because under the hood it doesnt matter if you're a lesbian or a trans woman or whatever. If you are a woman who doesn't fit the patriarchal mold of what a woman should be you're going to be made to feel insecure about it. Hikaru and Itsuki are both insecure about the personal ways they don't fit the mold but whether it's dysphoria or internalized homophobia they both, to simplify it, don't fit that mold.

Hikaru can recognize this and reassure Itsuki about it but cannot do so for herself because she's convinced herself that in the same way you do. It's somehow a different situation when at it's core it is not.

Both of them feel like they're not a real girl and both of them are real girls (provided they wanna be). Hikaru can recognize this when looking at Itsuki but not when looking at herself. Because those same insecurities convince her that somehow she's not actually (for as much as I hate the term) valid.

I had an extra paragraph typed up where I got a little passive aggressive but honestly I don't need that energy, neither in my life nor in this forum.

Very funy for Hikaru to just immediately tell Itsuki that of course it's fine for her to be here, of course you don't need to be the ultra specific stereotype of a woman to belong. women can be many shapes it's fine in fact Itsuki should feel welcomed.

But then Hikaru turns around and starts spiralling "not me though, I definitely don't belong, unlike Itsuki" it's very real in a good way how just a little distance can dispell the fog of your own insecurities but pulling back to yourself immediately calls that same fog back. Everyone is in a perfectly understandable acceptable situation, except for me of course.

Super excited to see this continue.

The fact that in chapter two after being caught making out with the team manager A-zhe directly asks Lumiao why she's so mad when she's clearly into Yuxuan is hilarious.

like what an own goal on his part to pick up on Lumiao's crush on Yuxuan. It's just so funny to consider if indirectly this caused him to overlook Yuxuan's crush on him thus causing the events that would eventually lead to Yuxuan falling out of love with him and driving her into Lumiao's arms.

love wins! lol, lmao.

bit of a shame to see the two of them drop out of the race though to be fair they were always on the sidelines and given the chapter it's clear they have a lot in common and get along well so godspeed to Luna and Carla.

It does give me some hope that Sofia and Olivia will get their one hand each as a smaller group is just more achievable relationwise lmao.

that last panel are we gonna get Nagi secretly also became a gal trying to become more social backstory???

Though we know these are thoughts she's been struggling with for a while now and I'd expect for this cliffhanger to make her sound worse than she is.

hilarious juxtaposition between Chiaki"s "well we are adults it's fine to try dating" and Mashiro's "I've got her now!!!!"

I liked the story just fine, but also like I can't believe I keep losing chess to the Age Gap dog. Everytime I just think to myself "oh boy a story with some older women yipee" and then instead I get a woman younger than me and a kid.... This is why Water, Coloured is one of my favorite yuri lmao.

so I did do a bit of re-reading in no small part because a lot of people unhappy with Meguru and Azuki getting back together are saying her arc was rushed. And like that's just not what happened? Like she came to a resolution with Remu in the last three chapters that allowed her to fully accept both Remu and Azuki and herself for having sexual desires. But Meguru's breaking point was in chapter 10 and 11 where she tested Azuki for sexual desire (disgusting), Azuki passed (she acted as if sexual desire is digusting and didn't do anything), and Meguru found herself deeply unhappy about it.

Like that's the point she started truly working through her issues and she had all of volume three to do so. Yes her confrontation with Remu was chapter 15 and 16, three chapters before the end but by that point she'd already changed a lot from who she was at introduction. the idea that that is the moment she started to resolve her issues is just wrong, though I can see how it would be remembered as it was the big confrontation.

overall Meguru is a recurring character throughout the story and starts really working through her issues at the end of volume two pulling about a third of the focus on the entire series. I'd say that's not exactly rushed. Honestly it has me arguing she's not just an important character but one of the protagonists. So, ultimately I'm not going to say you're not allowed to like the idea of Remu and Azuki better than Meguru and Azuki but I don't it's fair to argue Meguru is underbaked.

I'm about half and half on the ending. I quite like Meguru and Azuki's resolution. A big part of the story was them mending their relationship and getting through their issues so it's good to see that they managed to rebuild that bridge burned.

Remu... Niji ended up being one entire step above the "disgusting" love's the other three were throwing around so to end the story here after a confrontation but before we actually see anything mended if that's even truly possible. So while Remu got through her issues with Meguru's help it does feel like she's stuck with Niji. (a fight doesn't really cover what Niji did after all)

I get that a lot of people were rooting for Remu to get with Azuki considering they've been on the same wavelength througout the story but honestly, Azuki has so obviously only ever looked at Meguru that way to the point she even became "disgusting" in the first place. And hey I really liked Meguru so for me this is a win.

you know what, I'm three quarters on the ending, I like Meguru and Azuki's resolution and I like how Remu resolved her issues. I don't think Niji quite hit the landing, or at the very least it was bumpy.

wild. I do like that she is very much framed antagonistically. the things she did to Rin, that she is about to do are very much wrong we just get to know why she did it. A twisted craving for attention/love. For her to be special to anyone at all. Fucked up though.

oh boy

"you tried to kill me" twice in repetition because yeah, Kaede What are you on about???? It's so good to see Kaede spout her fate nonsense and have Ai stand there like she's looking at a stranger. She doesn't know this woman. She never did. But now she can't just leave because Kaede is clearly in need of help.

and Kon.... Please girl just send that apology through text. It'll at least get to Ai and she'll know you didn't mean to snap. Now she'll just feel doubly alone (in no small part because of a situation of her own making) stuck between a Kaede who just never was the woman she knew, and a Kon who is seemingly angry at everything you do and can no longer tell anything to...

This is what I read Akiyama Haru for XD

ah it turns out the schemes run deeper than anyone realized. Very fun little twist to "redeem" jiujin without feeling cheap. She did just still kill that guy after all. He's just not who we thought.

interesting to see that Tamao's fiance knew and himself also ran away in his case so he wouldn't need to face a loveless marriage.

Good for our girl though, it's hard work but imagine also very satisfying to be there with Nobu.

in conclusion the village leader is the reason all the ninja's have been sent to the room. because you don't go to oblivion if you fail to reincarnate you're just in the nowhere forever instead.

decided to keep it at a max of four per category so here's my cut minus pink ribbon which I found out has already been suggested.

As a trans woman, I thought way more of being trans than gay. Because yeah, being gay is hard and stuff, but you don't necessarily need to announce it to the world.

Being trans tho... You don't have much of a choice if you wanna be happy, you have to go through several steps of being shamed and beaten and hunted for it to finally "fit in" and not be noticed. And you likely will still be if you mess up once.

Also to me the line of "She's just a fucking slit-mouthed woman" as if to say "She's not woman enough."

certainly a good reading as well, I mostly focused on the normal family that she starts the narration with and the way the she's jealous of how the other slit mouthed woman can be so happy with another woman where she feels like she has to keep to herself.

so to edit. Nodding sagely, the slit mouthed woman as analogy for being a trans lesbian. And carefully applying make-up/keeping your expressions in check as analogy for repressing/being closeted.

I really like Shouko's expression at the end of the chapter here. A very frustrated happiness at Yukari being here for her.

godspeed you weird, in fact really deeply weird lesbian. all the best for Hinami and Tsukino from here

nodding sagely, the slit mouthed woman as analogy for being gay. And carefully applying make-up/keeping your expressions in check as analogy for repressing/being closeted.

Good stuff.

Genuinely really cool to see how Hanako's relation to Yoshihiro is meant to parallel her relation to Sadako. He's scared of her because she's cool (stronger and clings onto him like he is anyone) she's scared of Sadako because she's cool (a witch without common sense who is also a killer) and because she realizes this. Because Hanako was in the middle here she now knows how her own perspective needs to change because she's just not been fair to Sadako so far.

Also Tae-wol is here and don't you want to go walkies with your girlfriend be honest with me.
