Thanks for the translation! Grateful that you all translated the extra chapter as well, which really seals the tone of the story for me.

Was the novel chapter included as part of the official release or was that added by the team?

The extra chapter release was part of the official manga volume release. I assume it was also written by Ru, however I did not find it in their novel works on pixiv. The manga covers the original novel written by Ru which is all from Yumimaru's POV, but the manga also seems to incorporate parts of the separate prequel from Konno's POV into chapter 8.

Both characters have struggled with the experience of not being seen as the human beings they are while having lived in this city. And having lived devoid of meaningful human connection, they both take turns fumbling with this relationship they build together. Like Yunimaru, when she was given the necklace by Konno. And Konno with her desire to hurt Yunimaru with her death. Konno who seems to have failed to been seen as a human being during her life so far, seeming to throw things at the wall and hoping something would stick, in an attempt to continue to live.
The ultimately hopeful ending is still bittersweet in that aspect, I hope these two can continue to build upon their relationship and recover from the ennui they have experienced.

Blessed chart <3, it's cool to see the progression of the art on the chart too
Also Kyouko and Nanami better be dating by now

I'm a fan of Amazaki Suika's protagonists that seem to be sweetly, but easily besotted.

love all the anhane in the recent uploads

Gorgeous~

What in the super star spectacle was that parting... it hits in all the right places though.

I like the choice on page 01 to have the English title almost blend into the background. Much like her feelings that she had buried for so long, which made it such that she didn't have to see them as much, they were always still there.

There's anime rumors~~ https://x.com/MangaMoguraRE/status/1850453712071725288?t=2CKH5g192t6WvaQD34cupA

Mizuki deserves all the love in the world... that was a rough event
Yay to the trans tag arrival!

^ Both

Matsuri must have seen the Chechov's hickeys right? I guess she just played it off like she didn't?

Cute Yoshika~~
I didn't know Yoshika could grow, is this when Seiga needs a bigger bullet sponge?

Poor Hanako, this place doesn't appreciate a femme fatale.
She probably wrote friends when she clearly what she wanted was roommates...

I'm hoping Takizawa has the "Loner" or "Contrarian" type role or something like that, how best to accomplish that role other than to stick by our vilified femme fatale.

It's the Mom x Mom pairing

Rather than Pi〇chu, isn't more like Dedenne? Cute electrifying hamster hugging action nonetheless.

I have seen some AnHane comparisons to Revue Starlight's HiKaren, but page 16, haaah, so very Super Star Spectacle of them.

Thanks for the translation!

Maybe Alice didn't show up because she s not the protagonist of a folk fairy tale, but of a modern(ish) book.

This, yeah. Alice in Wonderland isn't actually a fairy tale, much less one from Grimm's Fairy Tales. It's a novel by Lewis Carroll from 1865.

Aah, you are right. I forgot that one of the criterion's for a fairy tale is length. Alice in Wonderful is far too long to qualify. It also does not have routes in being a folk tale.

Though in terms of being modern(ish), I think the Grimms would also be considered modern by that standard. The Grimm's Collections of Fairy Tales had 7 editions from 1812-1857. The Little Mermaid was originally published by Hans Christian Andersen in 1837. Neither of them are that far off from when Alice in Wonderland was published.

Jiminy cricket! Jiminy Cricket x Pinocchio yuri!
I took a class about the history of French fairytales once, fairytale have changed a lot over the centuries but I am so eager for this new evolution~~

Quite surprisingly that Alice in Wonderland didn't show up. Alice always appears in a fairytale themed story for some reason, but not this time. Maybe one of the normal girls is secretly Alice (given how Alice in Wonderland goes...)

I hope Alice shows up! It's ch01 so maybe in the next chapter?

I wonder why, whenever a story gets Fairytales as a theme, the story is either going to be sugary sweet or omnious.

I think it is maybe the nature of the fairytales, they are normally aimed towards kids but a lot of them were also meant to scare kids about dangers in the world as well. However when used as a theme, an author then often chooses one of these two routes, either the sugary sweet fantastical setting or the ominous consequences present.

I kept reading prickles as pickles...
Anyway that was very cute! Thanks for uploading

^ Yeaaa I think a lot of folks prefer KaoTaba as the ship name for that very reason

Thank you to the people involved in getting FutaKao pics posted here every couple of months
Futaba is always being put in a difficult position by Kaoruko lol

Such a sweet series! Happy to see it continued, thanks for the translation!

You can be lucky and it can still be a tragedy.

This really brought out the emo in me. Thanks for scanlating!
