    Raise wa Tanin ga Ii - Vol. 8 Ch. 35 - You Are Life [1]

    Yeah, TBH it's a bit of a shite business model to launch in only one Englsih-speaking country but then Konishi and Kodansha didn't seem all that interested in launching in English anyway, so it's like another FU to fans, imo.

    But we're still in the past and not there yet? ICYMI, in the very first chapter, when Kirishima ditches Yoshino in an alley because she's not who he thought she would be-- he's a lot of things but he's not stupid and he obviously couldn't have formed an impression of her soley based on this...

    Yeah, it's so funny because Yoshino is actually a lot like Kirishima. When he says 'like me', though, it's assumed he wants to know if she's a bit crazy. Which remains to be seen.

    Google is giving us nothing. It could just be that he's mentioning the 300 days because it took Kodaka and his buddies that long to finally give him the kind of beating he was hoping for-- one that kept him out of school for about a week. Or it could be a reference to the movie 300. Or, this...

    Chapter 34 is complete. If you mean the arc, there are two chapters left.

    A lot of mangaka use birthdays to inform a character so when you have a character lie-- seemingly or otherwise-- when he's in his 'villain era' it's worth discussing, imo. The Japanese volume 2 (printed 2018 and again in 2021) came with a little 'fanbook' that lists Yoshino's birth month, not...

    Very likely. Remember he's like 11 in this flashback and 17/18 in the present day. Konishi was probably trying to make him look noticeably younger without deviating too much from his current design-- same floppy hair and pale eyes but his eyes are bigger and set in a smaller face, stuff like...

    Cheers, friend. Happy to help! Enjoy your reread. 💝 Next update is on U.S. Labor Day and since it's Shouma-less we're low key sobbing but we'll get through this together. 😭

    Totally feel this. With the hiatuses between chapters in the past few years and the subsequent lag in scanlations, it's easy to forget details. We only know this stuff off the top of our heads because we're like steeped in it. The clipping didn't just magically appear and he wasn't hanging...

    Thank you! Appreciate the love. 🥰 And same. One of the reasons we picked this up was to get ourselves as much as everyone else up to speed on this backstory. We've been waiting for it for literal years at this point.

    Raise wa Tanin ga Ii - Vol. 8 Ch. 32.2 - Your Lover, Your Weapon, Your Substitute [2]

    Yeah, it's taking forever to get to a real revelation and after how intense the last few chapters are this one feels like such a throwaway, almost comic relief. The little details about Kyosuke's death and Yoshino's unequivocal assertion that Kirishima would get a chance to explain before she...

    Ah, you lost me, I'm afraid. The sake exchange and oath are what make a yakuza official as far as I know and the drug dealer thing isn't canon but that might change. We'll find out soon!

    AFLAC? Black flash? Peanut butter jelly with a baseball bat? I think it's because they haven't exhanged sake and an oath of loyalty. In Kirishima's case he doesn't want to be yakuza (also he's too young to legally drink and the yakuza are weirdly law-abiding, oddly enough), and in Shouma's case...

    RIGHT? Lol-ing thinking of John Cena or The Rock pulling an Always with Wings™ put of his (fanny) pack and clutching it to a knife wound in his side. :ROFLMAO: Thanks for the giggle. Have a great week!

    OMG RIGHT? Remembering when the OG release came out in January and being like THAT'S IT?! after a 50+pp release in December because Konishi didn't feel that 31 could be broken up into chunks, and a one month hiatus before that. But this chapter does pack a punch-- you have Yoshino taking care of...

    Thanks so much for the comment! The licensed volumes are coming out and new translation apps mean folks can MTL the raws whenever they like, so the need is not so great for these updates, but we just couldn't help ourselves because we love this thing too much. Happy to hear we're not alone! 💗

    If you're really interested in chatting with other fans I posted a Discord link in the chat of the previous chapter. Just a bunch of not-at-all-rabid Raise lovers. Nothing big. :love:
