Thank goodness it wasn't me tasting that stuff. Uuugh.

Arigatou-ne for the chapter, Daphie!

OK, even I'M better at adulting than the MC. SORT OUT YOUR LIFE, WOMAN!

sorting out the trash would also be a good start

and thanks for the translation as always^^

The facial expressions in this series are just top tier.

Huh. So that was a suspiciously harmless chapter by this manga's standard.
Thanks for bringing it to us, Daphie.

YW everyone :) These chapters are a lot of work, but fun!

I see, I see. She has embraced her inner Minori.

Ayase-san wa joshi shougakusei ni kyoumi ga arimasu. Like, totally.

Good translation choices, Daphie!

Be careful,OL nee-chan.

Age is just number and jail is just a place, it's gonna be worth it

Loved the chapter, dread the moment when Koharu discovers the state of Ayase's place.

(In chapter 14 we saw Ayase's apartment. It's a fecking pigsty. Garbage piles up everywhere. Actually tbh I'm surprised she let Koharu in so easily; I would have expected her to panic and ask Koharu to wait a little while she tries to stuff all the refuse in a closet, haha.)

Unhealthy eating habits and neighbouring practices: the manga

I know its a comedy and not serious but like- isn't she an alcaholic lol? To buy in that many cans nearly daily- to drink alone at home- and not bother with food or tidying? She ain't long for this world if she keeps that up!

I know when I see someone with a trolly/basket full of tons of nothing but booze I think 'I hope your having a party mate!'

From what I can tell, this is the last chapter of Volume 2, and Volume 3 will be the last one.

There is a lot to unpack in this chapter. For one how does one so smol eat an entire loaf of bread and is still hungry before lunch @_@?

Also how has Ayase not died from alcohol poison at this point? And how dare her allow Mio to tag along and not offer her dinner!

I love how attached Koharu is getting towards Ayase as well. She is able to spot her everywhere and even getting a little obsessed with the whole trying to listen through the wall.

I feel bad for Koharu when she walks into the pigsty that is Ayase home. I do love that it seems were slowly getting some romantic kind of progress with the way Koharu has been acting recently. Good for them. Can't wait for volume three quite sad if it's gonna be the last. We just don't get enough agegap Loli stuff.

Also Daphie you're amazing as always thank you!

YW and thank you all, including @Mannic, @Nene, @Zormau, @YuriPanda!!! i'm happy we're all getting invested in this little story, but i do agree that it's ending too soon... :|

We don't have much data on Koharu but we do know one bit of gossip: she is attracted to useless people who can't take care of themselves. This was revealed the first time they had a chance meeting at the supermarket. Koharu has a big sister who she loves very much, and this sister is a walking disaster who can't do anything by herself; and Koharu got used to caring for her incompetent older sibling. After this sister left (to a college dorm, or maybe got married) Koharu started living alone with her parents. That's when she met Ayase. If we want to psychologize we could say Koharu transferred her feelings for her sister to Ayase, but I doubt the manga will ever go into any such deep analysis.

Anyhoo: the given situation is that the more Ayase makes a mess of her life, the more Koharu will feel attracted to her. That's why letting Koharu into her pigpen of a room is actually a good move romance-wise. Same with her binge drinking and her inability to provide herself with proper meals. The more Koharu feels Ayase can't survive without her, the more Ayase will worm her way into Koharu's heart and the closer we'll get to a romantic happy end.

Also Daphie you're amazing as always thank you!

Thanks for everything!

"Is this co-dependence?"

Aw who's a cute yuri loli mistress mommy wife?
Koharu is, yes, Koharu is!

There's a manga I know with a similar plot, I don't think it's found in Dynasty. It's called Mai-chan no Onee-san Shiiku Gohan.
The loli Mai always has to take care of the beautiful and sexy blonde oneesan next door because this woman is unspeakably useless beyond belief and it leads to a giant crush: before Mai knows it she's so crazy about the oneesan she can't be happy without her anymore.

Naaaaaaaaaah, whatever would make you think that of all things?
This manga is clearly about wholesome, healthy and totally non-problematic relationships between healthy people, just like the rest of Daphie's portfolio, amirite? :D

I am very curious to see where this goes. Maybe Ayase has cleaned up since last time we caught a glimpse, so it'll not be quite as bad.

Of course I'm reading it too!!! It's much more wholesome than this one so far though, haha, I don't feel a single sus vibe from Mai-chan no Onee-san Shiiku Gohan.

I have no clue what you're talking about whistles

wholesome healthy non-problematic non-age-gap relationships are boring anyways :)

I really wonder too, haha

Well god bless! Imma go search for this shit now!

Alternative to the "Koharu attracted to useless people" theory. I knew Ayase is lonely and isolated. Her strict upbringing seems to have damaged her social development. But this chapter is about Koharu and it clarifies a lot. Koharu is a little girl desperately lonely for adult attention. It appears that Ayase is the only adult who wants to or is able to spend time with her. I thought of Ayase as silly and delusional but it turns out that (for good or ill) she has tremendous influence on Koharu. I find the image at the bottom of page 16 ("Thank you for having me!") to be haunting.

wdym, how could the image of a little, seemingly innocent, grade school girl going from a slightly dark space (corridor) into the lit home of a certifiable (and pretty much self-professed) lolicon, who's also looming in the doorframe, half shaded, ever be viewed as unsettling :D

It'd be even better if we had another frame with the door swinging shut and going CLICK.

Pudding . . . in a bucket . . . those crazy geniuses!
