too casual or shocked and chickened out?

 

[Elrufi]

I saw the raws, she said suki, last bubble says 好き

 

[Lyanhyrt]

an ambiguous 'like it' here i feel is wrong

 

[SecreFTL]

I saw the raws, she said suki, last bubble says 好き

Yeah “Love it” is not accurate

 

[nxneil13]

Thx for the TL

Looks like they're playing a game of cat and mo........oh confess already you two

 

[Tcof]

Huh ? the "Love it". i thought she would say something to retreat, but nope just run. Do the original dialog express it more explicitly like a confess of love ?

 

[jackjack9]

Friends are right. He should just confess already.

 

[Desperdb]

As mentioned above the original dialogue is "suki" which translated to "like" or "I like..." with the object left unstated / implied. My general understanding as a non-speaker is that this would be interpreted as "I like you" in context but there's ambiguity since the object is left implied and could add something else to the sentence ("I like... this painting / being with you / the moon" etc.). This is one of those popular romcom situations that is really difficult to translate into English.

Finally making some progress
Are we in the endgame?

Also there's a missing speech bubble on page 7.

 

[statflow]

love "IT"????

what is "IT"?

last panel would've hit harder if it said "you" but idk

but either way. PROGRESSSSSS

 

[Asheron]

This does not sound that great in English. Would typically expect Love..

Also, MC really revealing himself to be a boob man in chis chapter.

To be honest, I'm not a fan of translating suki as "love" most of time. English speakers can generally differentiate romantic "like" from platonic "like" based on context. And "love" is too strong of a word for the stages of a relationship where these confessions usually occur in manga.
