The 3's expression when they found out where the Manager was! HAH!

Thanks for the chapter

I thought about this manga from another angle... What if Japan became so depopulated that seeing kids doing romance grabs everyone's attention? Kinda like seeing almost extinct species in the wild

They're basically married at this point, no? Being so lovey-dovey.
Even without the usual cast, everywhere they go the people can't help but cheer for them.
Why does that "I wish this moment would last forever" sound so ominous?

So what we're saying is that at large, Japan sucks at coffee? That tracks.

That might sum it well; at least for the scene couple of years ago when I last visited. Their coffee (other than Starbucks that present a very standardized taste everywhere, be that a good or bad thing) tend to taste smokey and bitter (not even harsh acidity, just plain bitterness). Only one good specialty shop comes to mind at Orange Street Osaka.

Nayu basically confessed right then and there, why did she have to walk that back?
That was such a sweet thing to say too!

They said what amounts to practically a confession many times. They don't recognize their own feelings (at least not fully) and don't have the experience necessary to recognize it when others direct it at them.

Adorable. No 'k' this time. ^_^

 

[Eragonnogare]

Woah I thought I'm the only one who realize these cameos

Honestly I'm half convinced that the tiny shot of a glasses-d face on page one is Oka from Actually, I Am as well. The Sakura Table was shown a few pages earlier as well.

Sweet sugar overdose!
Thank you for the translation!

This manga's universe is the ultimate shy person's nightmare: every single NPC is actually watching them.

I was going to make the same comment, ha. This chapter was incredibly peak but man the idea of people watching me fumble around on a first date is legitimately hell.

Next time he should let her sip from his cup

Hey now, if you brew espresso properly, it's sweet. not bitter. Coffee grounds release the sweeter-tasting chemicals early in the steep. When you steep longer you release bitter flavors. The challenge is steeping long enough that it doesn't taste watery, but not so long it becomes bitter. How espresso works, you tightly pack very finely ground beans and force pressurized hot water through them. It's meant to quickly draw out the sweet flavors without getting the bitter. If you get the fineness of the grounds, don't overpack them, and set the water temp right, it comes out sweet and creamy. Delicious!

Sure, but honestly you can't deny that it still has bitterness. It's a balance of bitter, acidic, and sweetness. Being bitter isn't necessarily a bad thing, it's a flavor component that many dishes around the world use. However, to someone who doesn't even drink coffee regularly, espresso would indeed be very bitter, even if properly brewed.

It's seems that the whole town is invested on their relationship lmao

Is expresso really that bitter?

Espresso isn't bitter necessarily, but it is quite sour.

I knew manager was there as soon as he mentioned she was nibbling toast I was like "How did you know so explicitly what she would order?"

The waitress has excellent memory to remember that they went to the wrong cafe and just missed each other, that must have been at least a month ago in the in universe time, probably more like 2+

I have literally never had a sweet tasting coffee of any kind, let alone an espresso, that wasn't drowned in sugar Cid Kagenou style.

You've never found a decent barista! It takes some effort to get your technique down, but the four main controls are 1) Quality of the beans. Roasted properly, and not old and stale. 2) Correct grind. Has to be pretty fine. 3) Not over packing the puck. and 4) Correct water temperature for your espresso machine. Too hot will extract the bitter and acidic flavors. Get it all right and it comes out sweet and creamy tasting.

I think the easiest way to get a sweeter tasting coffee at home is to make cold brew. Use a medium-coarse grind, measure out the right beans-to-water quantity and put it in a mason jar or a french press. Set it in your fridge overnight. After a healthy 8-12 hours of sleep, you have flavorful coffee. Pour it through a filter and enjoy.
