Thank you for the scanlation

 

[Moonbunne]

Thank you for picking this up. Its certainly imperfect and is pretty much the Incredibles 2 to ARIA's The Incredibles but I still want to find some closure before it becomes a figment of my imagination lol

 

[venerablemonster]

I was deeply disappointed when this turned pretty definitively away from something that was clearly, until it stopped happening, being written as a very sweet slow-burn romance. If it hadn't been there in the first place that would have been fine, but it very definitely was. And, Pikari at somewhere around the same point felt to me like she lost her manic mojo. And then there was this strange attempt to compensate by putting in really weird supernatural subplots where I couldn't tell what the heck was going on, and adding more characters whose main role seemed to be just to dilute the interactions between the original main pair so as not to have to deal with their relationship.

It's still sweet, still kind of fun, still charming, art's still lovely, but it's not what it was.

Thank you for picking this up, and your efforts to translate this.

As a long time fan of Amano Kozue, I am well aware of her language quirks and outstanding art, so don’t be discouraged and I look forwards to you finishing this series.

Thank You!

 

[izumabakumatsu]

Thank you for picking this up.

I find that Kokoro's introspective about his own self within this festival arc was very interesting. A child coming to puberty, still confused about what he's feeling about himself and the future. And I like how Makoto Anii now has a male kouhai to dote upon.

To me it tried to tread much of the same beats as ARIA (the focus on the relationships, the paranormal elements, the romantic cutesy cheesy writing but replacing being on the water with...being underwater) without any of the charm the original trio had and without the sense of succession that made the side characters "make sense" and feel like they fit in the story (grandma -> alicia -> akari-> ai; aika being the child akira met long ago; athena and alice having a sisterly relationship). Furthermore, while I hated Akatsuki with every fiber of my being for being loud, obnoxious, jealous, flipfloppy, cringe, immature, he's way better at adding the romance than any of the romantic interests here.

Holy manga series necromancy, Batman!

I have entirely forgotten as to where the story was going at this point, but I did remember that it wasn't what I was expecting. Thanks for picking it up, but it might be time to unfollow this and set it to dropped.
