No... "Haruki" doesn't mean "bright light," and that "alternate title" is a horrible translation of "Warikitta Kankei desu kara." What the fuck am I even reading here?
Reading this just because of the long ass threads, if people can write fucking essays on it, it has to be worth a try.
Yes, it is, if only for the emotional roller coaster.
you can find the meaning for her name here: https://www.behindthename.com/name/haruki notice she always wears a white vest over her uniform or pullover when in casual
the meaning for Kuro which means black can be found here: https://www.behindthename.com/name/kuro notice that she is in many panels surrounded by darkness (read when the lights are turned of)
notice the Gender for both names and the scenes of them finding out their gender
the meaning for Aya is here: https://www.behindthename.com/name/aya-1 in the coloured artwork her hair is depicted either blueish or black (the first art piece of Sei lying on top of Aya shows a little bit of blue in her hair it is barely noticebale) during the manga since it's black and white there are several scenes with sei and haruki where her hair lights up as for coloured Sei and Haruki have noticed that they have almost the same hair and eye colour?
I found the alternate titles on the mangadex page so you gotta ask the translators ^^
I am literally the translator working on this manga, and let me tell you: everything that you have said so far is bullcrap. Please don't spread misinformation. It's really annoying when people take wrong information and parade it around like it's the word of God. Aya's name, "綾" is the kanji for "form" or "design," and Haruki's name, "陽紀" means something lik "glorious era". Still, the meanings of the names of the characters are IRRELEVANT to the story. They're simply the names of the characters, nothing more. You sound like one of those super pretentious literature majors who try to inject their own feelings in everything. It's not helping anyone.
Okay then please tell me your reason why aya's hair is blue on the cover of the first volume and black on the cover of the second and how it possibly relates to a toxic unhealthy relationship and what is such a relationship even like how could you depict it via art? What the authors personal reason was for picking the characters names and why Aya, Kuro and Haruki are redesigned characters from the manga "Endou Yasuko wa Yomayoichou ni Kakureteru" where one of the characters is a vampire? Why Haruki thinks at first Kuro is a man the surprised face Sei has when she sees Haruki for the fist time. And could you tell me what these exams are they talk about in chapter 12 and what that winter break is? And I never said that it's the word of god! According to Japan both Kuro and Haruki are names that are usually given to boys and that the names in japan do have multiple meanings. How is that a misinformation?
Look sorry if people misunderstand me but what I post is what I think the author wants me to read out of this manga I don't know if it is the "absolute truth". What pains me is the fact that more questions aren't asked and most people possibly misunderstand what the author might be telling the audience. For example that the characters in this manga lie to themselves. Let's take a look at Sei the phrase "Yoru is as nice as ever!" reffering to Aya not to Yoru in the chapter 11. As soon as Sei meets Yoru her real past memories that she surpressed begin to flood back and we see what their relationship was really like but instead of facing it she shows us that a)she belives her own lies thus ignoring her reality b)she still runs away from it after leaving Yoru her "strict parents" are suddenly introduced and then completly ignored by Sei so yet another thing she doesn't wanna deal with! What tells me that she is back in her fantasy world? After uttering the phrase above notice the sparkly effects in her Aya fantasies? She is then mad that Aya did not visit her on Sunday implying she never pays her a visit on that day. And then chapter 14 comes along and confirms to us that no she never got over her former sexfriend by calling Aya "Yoru" again.
Well I could also describe why there is a timeskip between ch 9 & 10 and then ch 11 & 12 and point out the hints (dialogue & environment). Why the manga deserves rereading in order to understand it a bit better. Or my other reasoning why Sei acts more like a vampire and the author reusing elements from her previous works like Eve's Medicine and even Annetai Hotel heck this manga even started as a one shot.
Look we could discuss this if you want to but for now I'm gonna wait for the next chapter.
And one last thing thanks for the translations keep it up!^^
edit: Well there is one tiny thing that I have to ask could you please tell me what the rest of the effects on this page mean: https://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/its_a_detached_relationship_ch12#17 I have a feeling they should get a translation as well not just the speech bubbles.
