@viola_saccharine: The series is complete with 6 chapters, a chapter zero and 2 bonus chapters (for a total of 9). There is little overarching story, and the final chapter doesn't really "end" the series. It just kind of... stops. Possibly she ran out of ideas or inspiration for it.

Dear Kirioka fans, Decadence Scans has just released the prologue chapter of another manga by the same author and artist: "Enthralled". https://mangadex.org/title/59080/enthralled/

For anyone interested in this manga and other manga by Kirioka Sana, I've made a wiki dedicated to her works: https://kirioka-sana.fandom.com/wiki/Enthralled

@silverden: Yeah, Senba is kind of a jerk.

Regarding the title: The original title is Toriko to Narite トリコトナリテ. The kanji are probably 虜となりて meaning something like “I will be your captive” or “the willing captive”, with a subtext of “captive/prisoner of love”, i.e., madly in love. I am the translator, and I chose to go with "Enthralled"...

Give the villain a weapon and then turn your back on her. Good thinking, Jintarou, you nincompoop.

Yay! I'm glad we completed this. :D Those who liked it, keep an eye on Decadence Scans releases. We might be releasing more manga by this author.

Thanks to all the readers for following this. :) I noticed one interesting thing about it: It has surprisingly little character development, especially when compared to "Taishou Otome Otogibanashi", which is all about the character development (mainly Tamahiko, also others). Shizuko learns to...

@jrandom42: Tsukihiko says he is 4 years old. This chapter takes place somewhere between June and November 1931. That means Tsukihiko is born somewhere between June 1926 and November 1927. So it's possible that he was not even 18 when the war ended in August 1945. At the very least, we can...

@nerufu: Shizuko is not a tsundere. A tsundere is unreasonably hostile. Shizuko is only aggressive when she has good reason to be. In fact, IMO she is one of the most reasonable female romance protagonists in manga and anime that I remember. @chusetto: Do you mean Shizuko? Or do you mean Shuri?

@Snowfennec: If you mean the one with a girl in a wedding dress, that is from the cover of the last volume/tankoubon of "Shizuko Is My Bride". The girl is Shizuko. https://bookwalker.jp/de26739daf-122d-4273-840a-2138ae4770db/ If you mean the Decadence recruitment page ("We need your help for...

@Purplelibraryguy: Still not the most fucked-up thing I've seen parents or teachers do in Japanese fiction, though. Not by a long shot.

@havelmom: I am convinced that @Purplelibraryguy is right. Shizuko does love Shuri. I think she kind of admitted it to herself in chapter 8, but she is still not ready to admit it to anyone else. I love Usawaka in this chapter! Tiny Usawaka is adorable! (And still as androgynous as ever.)...

Sorry for the wait! :D Now complete with helpful annotations and Shizuko's slip-of-the-tongue on p. 21. :D (I think the version released by Coincidence a few days ago is serviceable, but naturally I like ours better.)

@DarkLordAlfie : Not EVERY chapter. Only like half of them. ;D But you have to admit that Shizuko and Shuri are growing closer. ♥

I love this chapter! I've said before that the beauty of this series is how each chapter has an emotional climax that brings Shizuko and Shuri slightly closer. This chapter is one of the best examples of it. In my opinion, at this point it is clear that Shizuko DOES love Shuri; she is just in...

@WildGrizzlyBear: I don't think that's fair to Shizuko. She has every reason to be wary of Shuri. He is not exactly respectful towards her either. I love Shuri, but he is also very flawed. Remember the end of chapter 4? @Orion2G: As I read it, Shizuko DOES gradually grow warmer feelings for...

@th30wl : And that is wrong use of terminology. "Prequel" has a clear and widely agreed-upon definition, and this is not it.

Woo! We're back! I especially love Usawaka in this chapter. He is cute. :D

@omnixd : Love rival getting shafted appears to be par for the course in Kirioka's works, alas. :/
