Oh this is gorgeoussss. The inking is so very beautiful, the full shot of Nanna on the stairs is incredible and the scene of her burning was so unexpectedly visceral, I love it all.
Apparently this is a continuation of the story from before the movie was released (which makes sense, because I was confused about when it took place). It was uploaded for online access in 2021, and the artist seems to have vanished since then. Which is so sad, I wanted to see more of this artist's fantastic inking and expression work ;0;
Thank you for the translation!!

Silly little detail, but I find it very interesting that her appearance notably changed when she was isekai'd? I don't think I've seen that before; she hasn't been reincarnated as another person, she was summoned, but for some reason her hair and eyes are different. And her reaction to it and the flashbacks show us it's not a case of Anime Hair(tm). I wonder if it has anything to do with actual magic she may have now? Anyway, I think this concept is very fun, and I hope to continue it. Always here for another Yuri iseki ng lmao. Thanks for translating!

Oh heeeeell yeah, I was on Battan's twt not too long ago and was hoping this would get a translation some day. Mostly because of Sumire's design, with her extremely pretty, extremely dead-looking eyes.

So I flipped through everything real quick to find any evidence of New Student at the end there, and she miiiiiight be the gal sitting at the front of Kaede's class? She's got a ponytail, no sideburns, and implied glasses on that second page (if they are actually the same character, too, lmao)

Only other ponytail girl I found was the one Itaoka implied forced a teacher to resign, but she has sideburns, probably not a match.

Idk what compelled me to do this. Anyway, thanks for the double update!!

Reminds me of that oneshot where a girl was cursed to kill anything she touched

that sounds like a cool premise, you got the title?

I'm gonna guess they're talking about Belladonna Lovers which was translated not too long ago

Glad you mentioned Maid in heaven, this also reminds me of Ghosts of Greywoods another Korean manhwa which also revolves around the same concept. :D

Oh, absolutely gonna check that out now, thanks for the recc :D !

Oh lets absolutely go, another Korean Introspective Maid Yuri to fall in love with, I'm looking forward to where this goes. Interested in seeing where the divide between "person" and "human" lies for them

(The other maid yuri is Maid in Heaven, not uploaded on here but by far one of my favorites of all time. Very beautiful and extremely melodramatic; it ends its chapters with quotes from Dante's Inferno, so like that kind of poetic tragedy lol)

Every time I see a chapter go up for this I get so excited. But omg, Frost's smile when she doesn't think anyone is looking?? Did she even realize she did that?? Aaaaaaaa! Also the whole "It tastes the same as it always does" in reference to a meal cooked with love? I think she finally got the fact Clarice means what she says. eeeeee I love it, and it pains me this only updates once a month

There were probably more hints before about Aino's pressure that will be obvious on a reread, but man honestly this chapter makes me look even harder into the whole"childification" aspect of all this. Because Aino's childhood was taken from her in order to be the hero that was asked of her after her brother died. So like, wandering around the world as a younger version of her, having wonderful adventures with the person she cares about most? She's literally living the life she was denied and missed for the sake of the mission. The mission that killed her! She didn't survive the demon king, she trained her whole life in her brother's shadow only to die too. Iro is what brought her to life, both extremely literally, but also in the past when they first met, as seemingly one of the few people who saw her more than her role, and chose to take on the burden with her.
Augh this is so good. The mom isn't even like some terrible, comically manipulative villain. She's a grieving mother with extremely high expectations, likely for both of her children, that ended up entirely directed upon Aino when her brother died. It already hurts and is only going to hurt more in a month. So long to wait, but thank you for the translation!!

Absolutely stunning, the art, the story, everything. The dream jumpscare absolutely broke my heart.
I am in love with the page right before the kiss (https://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/belladonna_lovers#104) They suddenly embraced but when Bella pulls back, she sees that nightmare again, and maybe is starting to fear that, even if it's love, maybe it won't work. Maybe she'll kill her after all. Maybe even after choosing her own happiness, it won't matter, and she'll destroy all she loves and only know heartbreak again.
But Anna's eyes in the last panel are full of nothing but love and trust. She knows she will be safe in Bella's arms. I just. ;;;;--;;;;;
It's good as a straightforward fantasy story, or more metaphorically of helping take on the pain of a partner's past without being destroyed by it. I really, really hope I see more books by this author, and I want to get this myself

((...also the panel of Bella hugging her hair excitedly is the cutest thing I've ever seen. She killed me, truly, just not with poison.

Also the end notes confirming only 14 total chapters is quite bittersweet. But with only 5 chapters so far there's already been wonderful story and progress, so I am remaining quite optimistic that even if it seems short, the story will have a satisfying ending (weather it ends up being bittersweet, too, we'll have to see ;-; ). Tbh I always love a well crafted short series where the creator know when they want it end and sticks the landing, and given this is a favorite of mine already, I hope this is one too!

Ohhh for the reveal to match their first meeting, I really like that parallel.

Ch.39: Is "his" majesty in her period? You know the "stomachache" thing

Also, dang yeah, you totally called it. Completely missed it myself, she's just having a bad day all around: assassination attempt, secrets being revealed, cramps... really can't get worse (I hope)

Oh wait, until I came to the comments I actually thought this was a one-shot in an anthology collection. I didn't expect it to be a the start of a series! I don't know where it's going to go from here but it is interesting. Hoping for an exploration of unrequited love coming from two ends; I'm with everyone else in camp "please don't actually get with the dad"

I want more of those disaster OLs fr

Comic #2 is a follow-up to A Story About a High School Girl Prince. I think the rest are all standalone, unfortunately.

Unrelated note -- I've now translated everything on Amazaki-sensei's Pixiv that hadn't been translated! To celebrate I put together these based on things I noticed while reading/translating so much of her work:

Common visual themes

It's been a fun couple months. My final tally is 16 comics/chapters by Amazaki Suika translated since the end of November, plus a few images!

I'm going to take a little break from Amazaki Suika for now (other than continuing to work with Oddity Translations on her current series), but at some point will work through her dozen or so remaining Twitter-only comics -- there are some good ones! ♡

Thank you so much for your hard work!! It's been a delight to see her stuff pop up these last few months

Both funeral AND wedding allusions with the white flowers??? auuuuugh this story is just piling on the heartbreak. Also the two page spread of Iro in the field is stunning, followed closely by Aino laying in them motionless. And the cute dream outfits... really this chapter was just killing it on the visuals

I'm pretty sure Aino is fully intent on answering that question, what with holding a white flower out to her and declaring that she wouldn't let their experience in the flower dimension just be a dream.

Same, was definitely seeing the flower offering as a continuation of the wedding-esque visuals from 139, both of them also making vows to make each other happy in some way... seems pretty gay

Absolute best straight couple on this site; just a genuinely well done side story. I love our main girls, but I wish these two the best and am looking forward what comes next for them all

When filling out the 2024 Yuri elections, I was trying to think of my all-time favorites, and my mind came to this one. I think this was the very first yuri series I really fell in love with. I was a teen when I found it, but it was probably the first time I'd read anything with adult women, living life, loving and supporting each other (though looking now and knowing they're only 24...... OTL ) To re-read this now, I'm happy to see it's still as sweet as I remember, and thank you so much to the other commenters that helped me finally read the ending ;-;

Chapters 21-26 comments:
La Fin de Girlhood has to be my favorite chapter now; I'd always wondered the reason Shinobu cut her hair, but the way she explained it was so real and makes her current style all the more meaningful.

The final page of the series is so simple and it took me a second to appreciate it, but the final lines are them finally saying how much they love each other. Every other chapter ends with affirmations of their love, but they were always internal. So the fact they were both able to actually say, out loud, they want to spend the rest of their lives together I just ;-; I'm so happy for them. But the way the speech bubbles were overlapped, it looked like another thought bubble at first glance and I totally missed the meaning.

ooooooooo yes yes yes, I read this one somewhere else but I'm so glad it made it on here; it's silly and adorable. Tia and Cynthia are such an odd couple I love it. Also holy light magic punches is so good

Thank you for picking this up after 6 years, this is such a sweet story (also. that boat is so sick? that's so cool??)
Are there any more chapters after Ch 3? This seems like a nice place to conclude, if now.

Jing Xiu at 1am on her birthday: she forgot :c

maybe it's something specific to do with the time I don't quite get, but I'm sure, before the end of the day, she'll get her gift. At least, we can hope!
