Behemoth no Hanamuko - Ch. 18

[Magaso]

I completely understand where shes coming (hah) from. I don't condone what she did, but it is very relatable.

 

[Mangon]

Perfection

 

[KnightSpark]

You know, I learned that spiders get drunk on caffeine from MonMusu. Looks like all monster girls of the arachnid variety are capable of getting wasted from the main ingredient of coffee.

 

[w3searcher]

You'd think she would be sure not to buy caffeinated drinks...
So since page 19 was uncensored, I guess this is from the volume release?
Though either way, what was up with the black boxes on the tips of her legs on page 14?

spider sexoooooo
i know this is harem romcom, but they should give her someone other than MC to bang their brains out, tbh

Not quite. We had an artist uncensor it. It’ll eventually be replaced with the Volume 4 version whenever that gets released.

I was honestly shocked that they added more censored art to the main story. I thought they gave up after Chapter 1.

To answer your question about page 14, the act of groping or caressing female breasts is typically censored. But apparently there’s equality in censorship now…I hope they’re still spider tips…

Jomoguro drinks caffeine
It works like a mix of the craziest drugs when spiders ingest it

In this case it's also this manga's version of the ULTRA BONER pick, but female edition.

Getting brutally panelmogged by Behemoth will sure spike your cortisol more than any energy drink can.

 

[Shinigamisama]

Aw man, she didn't get to mate make love spawn spiderlings.

 

[isoycrazy]

I like his friendship with her, and understand why she loved him as much as she does.

Bug seggs!!!! Sugg begs!!!!

If you don't have an endearingly dorky, possibly carnivorous spider-wife, why even live?

Live to find your endearingly dorky, possibly carnivorous, spider-wife.

For the record, female spiders don't usually eat their mates; they do if starved and desperate for sustenance (like when they're stuck in lab conditions being forced to mate, which is where the myth comes from; same with mantises), but for the most part they don't. Even then, those female spiders that are willing to cannibalize their mates are limited to a few dozen species, and only two do it deliberately regardless of circumstance (with the male actively committing suicide into the female's jaws in the Redback Spider species, and the Dark Fishing Spider species with the male having a genetically programmed stroke after copulation and feeding his erstwhile mate, even if she was gorged on food just prior).

TL;DR: Most spiders don't eat their mates, and of those that do only two species do it even if they aren't starved.

EDIT: Forgot the name of the second species, lol.

I was initially going to include that fact in the translation, but in the end, Ink and I decided to translate the text faithfully. I’ve actually done some research on spiders, and spiderlings when I TL-ed both this chapter, and Tsukinami’s Twitter/X mini-web manga about Jorōgumo + Ayame.

I’m glad someone else mentioned it here!

I'm glad that you translated it faithfully! Considering how long it's been taught, I won't expect it to leave current memory any time soon; just look at what Jaws did with sharks, and that's STILL causing ongoing misunderstandings about them!

Aw, no spiderlings today. At least someone's voiced the feelings, even if high on caffine.
