thank you for translating

 

[Hauberk1800]

I feel like even what he said took courage. He did a good job here both in asking and in being honest.

Thanks for the tl

No confession? Sounds like a win for Hebikawa lol

 

[Trolliconics]

Legendary refresh
Not much really happened this chapter
But it was a pure chapter so im okay with it
Im not sure if that was a real confession or not
Didnt really say I like you or anything so dont think it really counts
But it was still nice seeing their relationship get mended
Also like seeing he's pushing past his fear of the snek
And learning to trust others with his feelings again
Hopefully we can keep up these pure vibes with these past few chapters
Probably not
Queen Snek been absent for awhile so she'll prob be back next chapter

Yeah, what a huge win for Hebikawa, the girl who’s only chasing Keisuke because she wants to see Kusunoki’s dark side. Absolutely massive win.

 

[UdenEmpati]

So I suppose this confirms that Kusunoki doesn't know that Keisuke actually likes her, and also doesn't seem to suspect it being the case. Going by her thoughts while accepting the invitation to the shrine, anyway.

Keisuke getting hung up on "what if the past repeats itself" is a touch annoying, but is also understandable. Clearly he's not over Hebikawa's rejection of him before, but that stuff takes time, and he's only just starting to move forward where Hebikawa is concerned, anyway--insofar as letting go of the trauma he'd felt from the past once finding out that it meant nothing to her, and focusing instead on what he wants in the future.

Kusunoki being so focused on not hurting Otobe, leaves me wondering when this one-way triangle will be cracked open. It's very much the same setup as the last one Kusunoki experienced in grade school; Boy likes her, Friend likes Boy, she likes both as friends. She's slightly more hip to what's going on, unlike before, except she's still apparently wholly ignorant of the "Boy likes her" component.
The difference being, that Keisuke and Otobe aren't like those two from the past. So expecting them to react the same is understandable from a pattern-recognition standpoint, but it's also not being fair to Otobe and Keisuke as people & as her friends. I hope that Kusunoki opens up to Otobe sooner than later, because that is how she avoids repeating history. This passive wanting to run away from it entirely is only going to make problems all over again.

And she took a step forward in going with Keisuke today, but again--she needs to also talk with Otobe. As her fortune said--she's gotta be honest, even if things don't turn out the way she might want in the short-term.

No snek this chapter. Dissapointment immeasurable.

Snek technically appeared on Page 17. It's not good eating, but it should sustain you.

 

[Vaughn07]

No Snek again. Disappointing.

 

[Zeffaso]

Cute Kusunoki as usual
Snakesisters our time will come soon...

 

[JoeKerr]

I believe in Tiny Tanned Tomboy supremacy.
I don't care if it's a lost cause, I will die on this hill.

 

[Mangamoz]

So we're finally done with the filler tanned girl huh.
