Honestly, Volume 1 of the LN is a good self-contained story; it makes a lot of sense to stop here rather than have an uncertain future where it could be axed in a worse spot.

Off-topic, but the Baili Jin Among Mortals translation on the other site you're referring to is pretty low quality unfortunately, though it's gotten a little bit better over time. The early 100s are particularly rough in spots and means it has to be an MTL. I believe the person doing the...

Yeah... the higher translation quality in a few spots was my only consolation. I really didn't enjoy the ending of that series either. It felt like it ran out of steam. I don't know enough about the professional translation group industry and how it works to know who's actually responsible for...

For what it's worth, Mojito's official translation also used westernized names, but the translation quality was actually better than both available fan translations. There is one specific chapter where the leads are arguing, and both fan translations felt awkward (in different ways), like the...

What a great chapter. The tone is pretty light-hearted for going into what is probably the final fight, but I'm okay with that!

I'm generally not interested in harem or loli-tagged stuff, but this one has an interesting premise that isn't immediately awful. I'll stick around for a bit to see where it goes from here. Thanks for picking it up!

I think the point of the Emperor's story came across well in your translation. She is upset because she can't be with the people she wants to be with; the bird and the fish "live in different worlds", just like her and the people she wants to be with. She gets pissed when the Empress warps the...

What are these weird side snipes at the end of your posts even about? Is this something else you're angsty over? This bit feels like the equivalent of busting into the nearest book club screaming "Xbox sucks!" and then running out. Maybe go complain on anime forums about it? As for the quality...

I like how Natori does show a little bit of insight in realizing she is responsible for the changing plot, but her cluelessness is definitely still the real villain of this manga. She still can't see how she's driving Lapis and Diana into a future where they will have to fight over her. I'd be...

I'm most surprised that Shou had such strong feelings on the matter. I wonder why. It's not like she cares what people think. Well, she does, but I mean, she doesn't care enough to change her behavior, so this shouldn't be any different. She might be trying to protect Umi from her friends'...

It isn't super clear why they get so flustered by the second kiss, but the way one panel shows Shou's knee jerking back (or up perhaps) and then Umi pulling back makes me think there was some accidental touching that might have bordered on tribbing. That would definitely explain why they both...

To explain some aspects that have confused others: this story is partly (mostly, so far) a comedy that relies at least somewhat on how it mimics traditional Chinese/Korean/Japanese historical romance novels. In this sort of traditional East Asian monarchy, the Emperor is the ultimate power in...

Honestly, it should have just ended right when she said "Not really..." and he walked away dejected. That would have been perfect.

Only 9 chapters away from that point (Bilibili translation ended on Chapter 157).

After seeing all the Baiser x Azul fans on the forums for the anime, I feel like this chapter must have been made just for those fans, lol. Or the Japanese equivalent fans anyway.

I mean... the introduction of the first chapter of this manga is narrated by a future Satsuki who regrets everything she did. I can't imagine this manga having an ending that isn't suffering unless the author is going to retcon that chapter from existence, given that Chapter 1 shows Satsuki...

As for "when does the manga take place historically?", the manga references the "collapse of the Habsburg dynasty" 100 years earlier. Because the history of the dynasty is so long with so many ups and downs, it's hard to be perfectly sure what the author is referencing here. My best guess is...

Oh boy, a neck injury in an ABO work. I bet she injured some glands or something. Should be interesting.

I mean, this was definitely the only outcome from the plot grave that the author dug themselves into. It's... still pretty weird. It's good that Makuru isn't interested in having a completely brainwashed puppet to do her bidding but really bad that the rest of her family is fine with doing that.

This still could go nowhere for a while. Yeah, Mitsuki knows that Aya was crushing on her in the past now, but... these two have proven denser than lead, so I would not be surprised if it takes Mitsuki additional revelations to realize that Aya is still crushing on her now.
