God this was really good. I wish we'd gotten a little more info about what happened to Maki after they parted, though.

Cute!! "High-achieving OL who's a mess when not at work" is a pretty well-trodden trope at this point, but the gap is always cute, and the contrast with her adorable kouhai here (weak at work but well-rounded) made for a great dynamic. I don't know if it's enough to get a whole series out of, but I'd love to see a sequel or two (especially spicy version). I'm glad this one-shot at least had a good page count. Very pretty art too!

Chitose definitely strikes me as pretty creepy lol. Like OK I get that "you randomly hooked up with your high school crush and ended up being her first time with a woman" is a pretty wild scenario you'd want to follow up on but the insistent attempts to wheedle her way into Ren's life despite being rejected are sketchy as hell. At least Mizuki is actually dating Ren and was right about her girlfriend hiding things from her, even if she's not going about it in a great way.

Oh this is going to be a messsss I'm so here for it

Ren really is a shitty person. Like she's leading Chitose on she says "Oh well I turned down her confession" yet on this date she didn't reiterate that and then even told her she could rent her again.

And then she has Mizuki who she can't stand but also enjoys being around how she can feel both at the same time is beyond me tbh. And now she shows up while you're on a rental date with the exact same girl she should have turned down in the first place.

Ren is a garbage human being.

I don't think Ren can't stand Mizuki. She finds a lot of parts of her cute and fun to be around, but she's a very independent-minded person and she rankles against Mizuki's attention needs. This would be less of a problem if Ren could actually communicate how she feels, but she's used to being very guarded and transactional about her relationships (which have up to this point been with men she was never really attracted to). She compartmentalizes and avoids difficult conversations as much as possible, trying to have what she enjoys about a relationship without the inconvenient emotional baggage. It's sad because it seems like her feelings for Mizuki are growing over time and she would have maybe been able to deal with her more maturely as she became less guarded, but given the circumstances I don't think this relationship is long for this world lol.

I'm here for Tsukasa NTR corrupting MC.

Beautiful conclusion to a wonderful anthology, thank you so much for translating it! I love how it tied all the stories together in the end.

I get the idea and I think the one-shot is beautiful. But the grandma story takes more part of the one-shot, and the point is to see Heisei era. Even if the idea of Heisei era girls looking at the past is a good final for the anthology. I would have preferred if they actually showed modern oppression instead of past one to say the present is better.

I understand where you're coming from, but we get lots of Reiwa-era (which is what you meant instead of Heisei) yuri stories of all kinds these days. I like that this story was used to talk about the connection between yuri of the past and present, and how much change there is to celebrate even amidst the uncertainty of this era. It felt fitting for the capstone on a period piece anthology.

Yay so glad this is back! Very cute chapter. Love Yukari being accidentally smooth and then dooming over it while the idea seems to have actually intrigued Shouko... curious to see how quickly we'll progress, I hope it's not too drawn out but also not too fast!

I really feel like they have to address the conflict of interest seriously instead of just handwaving it or this competition arc won't feel very satisfying lol

Great, thank you :)

Hi, really appreciate what you do!! Wanted to point out a small error: on page 10 of chapter 8 of You Started This, So You Better Finish It, you have Mizuki initially calling Ren Reina-san in her texts. However in the RAW, she's saying レン. This is significant since Reina is Ren's rental girlfriend alias, and she hasn't told Mizuki anything about that.

We're SO fucking back

Yaay so glad this is back

Seems like a cool premise hope it gets a proper series

Man this arc has been really good... I thought it was just going to be a toxic age gap affair but it's surprised me with its depth and how it's avoided going for just luridness. It's interesting how Katou-sensei hasn't even done anything with Nakaoka other than tease him. It'd be nice if they're able to have an actually healthy friendship. Then who knows, maybe they'll end up together after he graduates?

she's evil and sadly i can't look past that

Which one? Girl who chose to cheat on her boyfriend (tbh, she doesn't even seem to care about him), or girl who seduced her old flame after breaking up? :)

Honestly, this seems kind of inevitable setup because it's just about two people who are deeply obsessed about each other. That's what takes some points away from my evaluation, because it's largely stakeless and coded in result.

Best cheating stories are ones with pressure, doubt, clouded motives, uncertainty of timing and so forth. Where you genuinely can't tell where they story will land even at midpoint in chapter 69.

Older girl is definitely more of a bitch. It'd be one thing to say, "since you still like me break up with your boyfriend and be with me instead" but she says "let's keep this our little secret" which means she doesn't take this seriously at all. She's gonna dump her again when she gets a new boyfriend.

Yeah totally. Seira is the one who's in love, Mio is using her. After her relationship failed and her career isn't going well, having a cute girl so wrapped around her finger she'd cheat on her boyfriend with her is an intoxicating power trip. She doesn't want Mio to leave her boyfriend for her because it's more fun for her if it's an affair.

Neat story with pretty art but doesn't really feel like a merry bad end at all? I guess the fact that she still has to stay with her husband for two more years isn't great but that doesn't feel quite in the spirit of meriba.

Really enjoyed that, what a hot and messy drama. Loved all the entanglements and the role reversal... the happy(?) freak4freak ending was kind of surprising but fun. It feels like Haruki and Mochida were left kind of hanging though - are there extras for volume 4 anywhere?

Looks cute but I really would have preferred it without the age gap...

Just read this all at once, so peak! I can see the possibility that it was cut short from its initial plan (we don't get to see the student "trip" after all) but I think Usui Shio did a really good job of bringing it to a satisfying conclusion. I also think Nagi abruptly abandoning her big plan was very her so that may have always been part of the plan lol

It's really nice to see Ayumu and Asuka becoming friends (despite Asuka's best efforts) lol

AveMyGO fuckpile real

We gotta kill this guy

That's REALLY gay Yachiyo.

Good to see this back!! Curious about the mystery of the lab, and bringing in Eko's bully is a neat choice... excited to see what happens.

Please upload the missing pages though!

Was oshi translated as stan? Shouldn't Yuna be the stan here?
