I'm pretty sure that them getting together would end the manga, so I'm happy with the continued false starts and misunderstandings. I've started to really care about these two dorks and all their assorted friends.

They were two different "spring/bounce"-type sound effects. Reiko's was "BARUN" which sounds (to me) kind of deep and sonorous, whereas Misaki's was "PYON" which is more dainty and high-pitched. Basically, both are spring sounds, but the difference between a Slinky and the spring in your...

And yet you still took the time to come in here and shit on it for everyone else instead of just quietly stopping reading like a normal person.

Ours are all hand-cleaned. I'm constantly amazed at the abilities of the cleaners/redrawers/typesetters for this series.

I answered this on Reddit already, but I'll copy the answer here for the sake of people who just read on Mangadex: So, the line was deliberately translated the way it was and I went over a few revisions in my head before deciding. The line in the original work was 東京（こっち）に帰ってこないか？ 帰る is often...

He always slows it down to once every 2 weeks when he finishes up a volume. Needs time to write volume extras and stuff. It should be back to weekly for a while now.

Confession time: That double meaning did not exist in Japanese, but I didn't try to reword it when it came out that way in English.

Yoko's never had a relationship (though she does have a lot of friends). Besides, I'm pretty sure that Yoko could give guys something they want even more than chocolate.

In case you didn't click through to the credits page, we'll be releasing one of the remaining 4 chapters of this series every Sunday for the next four weeks, finishing on December 24, to coincide with the first anniversary of when we released our first new chapters last year. Thanks for coming...

I tried to translate it as accurately as I could, because it’s not terribly clear in Japanese either, but I got the sense that he actually couldn’t go into the reason (that is, because he didn’t know) rather than didn’t want to (because it was embarrassing).

I know that romcom manga fans may not want to hear this, but even in Japan you often don't have any grand "I'm in love with you, please start dating me" kind of scene. Things often just sort of naturally progress from one stage to the next as they are here. That said, this still is a shonen...

Yeah, I thought it was handled with a lot more maturity than the same situation in a lot of different shonen/seinen manga.

This is a shonen romcom manga; I highly doubt it ends with Riko just going off with some other dude.

Well, he lives in Kashiwa, going to school in Ichikawa. She's going to school somewhere in Tokyo, so we're probably talking about less than an hour by commuter train. I think they'll probably be able to meet once in a while.

Well, the climax was in the previous chapter. I think they call this one the denouement.

I wasn't too thrilled that they've gone for an entire year without really going on a date or even really getting comfortable with their feelings for each other. I get that it's a busy time, but it's not that busy. Still, it was nice to see them "re-kindle" stuff a bit and I look forward to...

I realized that to translate them properly, I have to stop thinking of them as a single entity that both have the same goals. Rather, I have to think of them as the angel and devil on Riko's shoulders. Misaki wants to see her friend get what she wants; Yoko just thinks it would be funny if...

Note that the chapters were re-arranged a bit for the volume release. The Table of Contents listed here shows them in the order of the volume, not the order they were originally released in Shonen Sunday.

Yes it was. People seem to think that we're all walking around Japan not knowing what anybody is saying just because of subject omission in sentences. But it was absolutely 100% crystal clear that it was her telling him that she liked him, despite the omission of the subject.

She absolutely 100% directly did say she loves him. It was completely unambiguous when she said it. She just chickened out after the fact and decided to retract it with the flimsiest of excuses. The only person who would buy her stupid excuse, in either English or Japanese, is Ooyama because...
