I think this is a language barrier thing, because and read less as "this person needs professional help" and more as "this person is beyond help." I don't think anyone here is saying communication alone is enough to fix all her issues. That's a silly, almost pseudoscientific idea. The topic...

I mean, I care about the Jargon. I don't disagree with the idea that repeat cycles of trauma, loss of faith in others, and self-hatred have made her resistant to outside interference from those attempting to help - to the extent that anyone HAS, we've yet to see anyone outside of Hiiragi and...

Sensei please, I'm scared Ed: Rough gist, she's taking extra long with the next chapter because it contains some "shocking scenes" that she wants to get right.

Oh absolutely, no question about that. But speaking from personal experience, you gotta get through to someone that they need help/need to seek out professional help before that help can even start. That's where functional communication comes in - just telling someone "seek therapy" will just...

Side detail I love in this chapter is that the girl who snitches on Tomikawa to Igarashi has, if I'm understanding this ui correctly, over 99 other chats going on in her SMS. The power of of a high school girl's social network is not to be underestimated.

I feeeeeeeel like you might be projecting somewhat

Now I wouldn't say Tomika is "broken" per se. She's traumatized, and abused. But communication isn't just about being direct - it's about getting through to someone. Tomikawa is in a place where explaining things directly can't work because she doesn't want to hear it. But she CAN understand...

Huh, very strange.

Just an FYI @TangerineTLs I think the first two pages are out of order. That aside, thank you so much for this translation! I'm gonna miss your updates on these beans, just hope the next compilation doesn't take too long to release, because I need more people to see where these two go from...

You can always learn rudimentary Japanese and google translate/kanji dictionary your way through as best you can. That's what I ended up doing. 頑張る💪 I think the biggest thing right now is just the fact that they are only 15. At 15, they lack the language and cognitive self-awareness to fully...

It's fine, we're fine, nothing bad ever happens in the twitter zone. :worry: This is fine Ed: Inuyama-Sensei please release physical volumes so I can better support my pookies.

Ah. Yes. My favorite cream donuts, filled with blood. Jokes aside, I'm glad Tomikawa had that moment of self-reflection but I worry for her reliance on Hiiragi as a grounding pole. These kind of manic episodes can quickly lead to emotional abuse if not reigned in. Yeah. I worry that she...

Oh thank you, I want to share so much more from her twitter but I'm holding out until we get closer to catching up. Tho for now might be fun to share some early drawings of what would become Hiiragi, before she even had an official name: In the earliest art it doesn't seem like she had a...

Yeah, she feels manic in a way I've noticed in friends with bpd. Like she'll have these highs and moments of pure unrestrained energy, but soon as she crashes she crashes HARD and because that's just been her normal, she assumes that's how it works for everyone. So there's no incentive to...

@TangerineTLs What fonts do you use for this series? Was considering trying my hand at a rough translation of some of the twitter extras that weren't in the volumes (+ sharing some extra art only posted on twitter)
