fingering someone with your wedding ring still on your finger and unclipped fingernails, my god. these women are so repressed.

"hoping that my feelings would reach her, if only a little", she thinks, while sliding her fingers into that woman's pants. yeah i'd say you have a high probability of your message being received, lol

forcefemming has never been this heartwarming, hehe

great bit with a) mao trying to be supportive within the normative framework where being gender nonconforming is the worst thing you can be and b) mino internalizing the transphobia and believing that being a girl with "boy parts" is automatically harmful. i have to disagree with the earlier...

don't know if anything's wrong with Shien, necessarily, but by god the amount of horniness Tama's repressing is enough to level a building

incredible work as always Arka! re: Hario and Ema, I think it's perfectly possible he thinks it's better for Ema to tough it out for one evening if it's supposed to be her store, while still trying to support her while she's feeling down. I'm not sure if that's the right strategy necessarily...

wow that's some 2000s-vintage trans panic punctuated by a non-sequitir of a punchline. feels like somebody said "a girl needs to be careful" in an earlier draft of this storyline and it got cut, so now it's just reading as "misogynistic boys will be preyed upon by vengeful transvestites". the...

"even the moon, it's beautiful, isn't it?" has gotta be a reference to Soseki Natsume, right?

thank you Arka for the Christmas present!! sort of interesting that takara doesn't consider her previous history with Ema to be "in love". I guess you gotta be aware of what your feelings are to consider yourself in love!

world's gayest-looking girl cannot comprehend that a girl would be into her. (better late than never!)

god i do love this manga a lot. thank you for translating, Arka! to me it's not clear whether the author considers Hario to be a bad guy for "confessing over and over" (i could see it go either way so far), but what is immediately apparent is that the relationship is unequal. Ema has to remind...

It's very simple to find out whether someone's gay for you: just kiss them!

from personal experience "doesn't even know if he's a boy or a girl" is always about shoving someone back into the closet. going "I figured it out, I'm a trans girl actually 🙂" doesn't satisfy people who say that to you. Xiaoen is reproducing her biomom's transphobia exactly in a move to hurt...

Plenty of ways to subvert the ch1 opening! maybe they'll reconcile when they're more grounded adults, maybe he's going to some other friend's wedding in the same venue and accidentally stumbles upon eri&fuyuki, maybe fuyuki works as a wedding planner in the future lol

AFAIK, Japanese doesn't specify objects in sentences often, so I'm guessing it's actually "I really really love[you/that about you]"
