Don't go camping, but if I were to, I think I'd like to bring a ferro rod. I like the action for it.

i think i watched too many Primitive Technology videos because when Shizuku said "i forgot my fire starter" my immediate thought was "time to learn how to do fire by friction"

Thank you for the translation!

And she enters the scene, the home wrecker we know from the anime. Let the battle commence!

Every jap rom-com(Or I guess I should call this a rom-camp...) needs a third wheel. It's mandated by the Japanes constitution.

Article 99-3: Regulation of Romantic Manga Narrative Structure

  1. Any manga primarily depicting romantic relationships and published within Japan shall include a distinct Third-Party Female Romantic Rival with sustained narrative relevance.
  2. Noncompliance shall result in administrative penalties imposed by statute, including:
    a. Fines not less than ¥5,000,000 for initial violation;
    b. Escalating fines per volume or chapter released in violation;
    c. Suspension of publication licenses for repeated offenses.
  3. Willful, continuous evasion through semantic reclassification, genre mislabeling, or post-hoc character minimization shall constitute aggravated violation and may result in criminal liability, including imprisonment of responsible editors for a term not exceeding three years.
  4. No defense shall lie in artistic intent, market performance, critical reception, or reader satisfaction.

I mean, it's not really a Japanese-only thing. If anything, it's generally better than most western romcoms of the last 40+ years:

Short ones usually start with one or both main characters already deeply romantically involved with their third/fourth wheel.

Long ones have a multitude of extra wheels, and one or both MCs spend the entire run sleeping with every regular or guest character they can get their hands on, while refusing to get involved with their actual romantic interest for the flimsiest of reasons despite obvious mutual attraction, until the very end (if at all, if there's a sudden axe).

Ain't that the fucking truth.
