Ugh. A few pages in, I was lamenting the fact that I now need and didn't have my reading glasses. I often have to enlarge manga pages without. It's awful! Then, in this chapter they talked about font size and I felt old. There was also the topic of hoarding. I'm afraid I'll be like that...

I can't help but think about Hyouge Mono while reading these chapters involving that tea pot. That manga is one of my favorites, and I recommend if you'd like to revisit this period with a greater focus on tea ceremony and comedy.

This could be the best or worst chapter. Or even both!

I haven't read the chapter yet, but just want to say thanks. I've had a manga updated dry spell and was just telling husbando that I hope the manga about the lady with the comatose husband was updated soon. 😅

Holy hell, that got dark for this manga. It does seem to be maturing with the characters and reader over time, though. I first thought wicked Shiori was the manga jumping the shark, but I suppose it eventually became a little interesting. I've been in a similarly dark place before. It...

Tarou looks like Urakusai of Hyougemono in the flashbacks. I love Urakusai, but I'm not sure how I feel about the resemblance! (^_^;)

Unibrow is off, guise. The boy is going down. 😅 I'm happy she's doing something nice for herself, regardless of what happens next. Little things like that can be refreshing. I kind of wish I could pluck my brow ends to redraw them however, but my nineties over-plucking damage makes me scared!!

Thank you so much for an update. I hope it can keep going! 😭❤️

Oh my gosh, this. I saw a few chapters of it in Manga Vizion in the late 90s or early 2000s, so a part of my early exposure to manga, lel. I always thought I might try reading it all, so thanks for the upload.

I'm so happy the site is back up. I had a dream about this series! It was about the future of the temple, but no spoilers because it's complete nonsense. XD Chion died and became a spooky ghost who lingered at the temple. People could talk to her, but they probably wished they couldn't. Her...

At first I was amused to see a manga featuring Sugiwara no Michizane but I suppose I shouldn't have been surprised. He's a fairly important figure from the era. I think I've encountered Ariwara no Narihira in one, but he's an obvious choice for Heian romance. I often wonder how these people...

My in-laws just gave me some kumquat jam they made! It's very good. :3

Thank you, StubbornOne, for translating this brilliant manga! I hope you have a good week.

The cool cleaner kid is someone I can relate to so far, not a brag. As far as we know so far, he looked at death images. I have occasionally for years as a sort of challenge (death photos and much, much worse. We'll leave it at that). It actually changed me psychologically, but I feel I've...

Holy hell, Japan's suicide rate compared to the US, which also has a problem is bad. It's close to double, proportionally. I believe both countries suicides are mostly or largely older men who are terminally ill. We have different pressures but we both have trouble finding meaning with the...
