Yes, I'm trying to pick up this manga. Sorry to say I don't think I'll have a strict schedule of when I upload as this is a summer passion project. But for sure, stay tuned for the last chapter of volume 2.

Gunji, careful to not dehydrate poor Himeko.

About her "peach skin", does this means that Himeko too already have facial hair?

If you read the post manga pages, it means her skin is very smooth which is kind of weird because we describe things as having a "Peach fuzz" but I guess it's different in Japan.

Thanks for taking a look at the info pages!

When talking about asian beauty, for sure "flawless" can mean "very smooth". No big pores, wrinkles, blemishes, etc. So the smooth skin of a peach can be comparable. There's also a preference for natural and youthful beauty. Vellus hair known as peach fuzz/baby hair is something we all have since we were born. There's definitely a cute juxtaposition in this chapter between the prickly and thickened facial hair of a man from growth and shaving and a girl who still has a baby smooth face and only peach fuzz.

So momo-hada describes beautifully smooth skin that is natural (little hairs and all). The closest English equilvalent miiight be "peaches-and-cream" but it's usually used to describe a situation that goes smoothly. But when the idiom was popularized in the 19th century as it was a popular desert, it described a woman with beautiful and fair skin.

Take a look at a few Japanese beauty products. Look for 桃 肌 (momo hada).

Thank you very much for your hard work, and for the nice ending commentary.
