I was going to mention this before it came out but it is here now. The official English volume of Bad Girl Vol. 1 is out to go get. I think? It said release date March 24. I think it’s definitely available online but in stores is a different issue. Eh whatever. Get your copy when you get the chance!

Also here's the covers of the manga I mentioned:

 

[Ooshi_Somen]

whats this? no ntr?

 

[Mangamoz]

We skipped over the Aquarium cliffhanger?

 

[UdenEmpati]

Man-Eating Apartment had been on my "maybe" list for awhile, but if the world-building is choice then I think I'll give it a go and see what's what.



As far as the actual manga chapter in question goes -- I dunno, I think Rura and Yuu go well together. Yuu's just kind of an airhead (well, 212% an airhead) so going "who should she be romantically involved with" feels like a nonstarter a lot of the time.

Suzu's the obvious "lawful good" choice, but Rura feels like she could take care of Yuu and keep her financially stable. And Yuu would just randomly shower Rura with critical-hit compliments and incidental moments of lovey-dovey--almost certainly without meaning to--and I feel like Rura would consider that a reasonable example of equivalent exchange. Like..."chaotic neutral/chaotic good-ish", using the same metric.

Atori sees her too much like a pet. Can't really comment on that in good faith because I'm convinced Atori mostly forgets Yuu exists if she's not in front of her, meaning Yuu would die because Atori would go on a trip at some point and forget to make sure Yuu's fed and watered.

Ruu is just so cute I can hardly cope with it. She deserves all the love and praise she needs.

 

[rluka]

Is Yuu’s introduction based on a trope somewhere?
Like period drama.

 

[Finnacle]

My Ruustocks are thruu the roof right now.

 

[KatouEgao]

Please let this ship sail!

Thanks for the chapter and translation

What cliffhanger? Their date ended

 

[Mangamoz]

What cliffhanger? Their date ended

At the end they got found out by the fmc, who went into a panic attack.

Oh well, episodic 4-koma comedy to the end I guess. Not gonna bother giving this too much thought.

When a story ends with "But that's a story for another day." it usually means "we're never gonna bring this up again unless I feel like it."

It’s hard for me to imagine Ruu ending up paired with any of them. Such is life when you’re so pathetic and your boobs are so big.

Except maybe with Sumiki-senpai. Throw in Mizutori and you’ve got a great gag love triangle / throuple / situationship.

Yaaaaaay thank yoy for the updaaaaate

Like period drama.

It's how yakuza (but adopted by other delinquents too) would present themselves formally, nowadays it is used as a cliche/old fashioned jokingly self-introduction.

You can search for it as 仁義を切る(jingi wo kiru). One quick example would be when Jinbe reunited with the Straw Hats near Onigashima:

That "yoroshiku" spoken near the end of his speech is how you will recognize jingi wo kiru in other works.

Ah, so it’s later.

I thought it’s something like Kongming’s introduction in Paripi Koumei.
“My family is Zhuge, name is Liang. My courtesy name is Kongming”.

dang this chapter really softened me up on Ruu, and made me realize that YuuxRuu and AtorixSuzu could be a peaceful resolution to the love pentacle we have going on here
I'm still on team poly for the chaos tho

also dang ascended, bold move recommending a het romance manga on the credits for a yuribait manga. granted, I doubt the majority of people reading here are as het-averse as I am

I put an alleged yuri band manga to balance everything out. Usually girl band mangas have some gayness in them.

Thanks for the translation! I also agree with all 3 recommendations on the last page. It helps that they're all available on Mangaplus. On the app, reading in between chapters is free 1 time, with the caveat that if you don't read it right away, the app will freeze, new pages won't load, and you have to exit the chapter and re-enter to fix the issue, meaning the chapter will lock and you'll have to pay to read it.

It's only $5 a month (unless the price went up) but it may be worth it if you want to read on the web or don't want to deal with the hassle of unlocking free chapters 1 at a time and then never having free access to them ever again if the chapter bugs out while you're reading it.

It's not on purpose by the way, Mangaplus's coding is just that bad. It's the same on the web browser versions. If you don't flip pages fast enough, the whole thing freezes up and you have to reload the whole chapter. It's my one complaint with it, given that aside from that, it's one of the better subscription / ad supported manga sites.

The first and last chapters only have 1 or 2 ads at the very end of the chapter (after the last page) and they're usually relevant.
