@oGkspAz The change in order makes sense when you see what they changed. Originally there was a single Tachibana chapter (no Nana or Kaoru) released between when Nana sent the videos and Kaoru flew back. So moving it around helps that flow a little bit better instead of delaying the resolution...

@The_H_Guy Let's not ignore how Nana intentionally chose not to wear panties during their suspension scene in Black Label. She spent a good amount of time thinking about it and decided that she really wanted to show off to Kaoru... who of course chooses not to look because of... reasons. 🙄 I...

@manga4joe I believe that the numbering listed on the last page is actually referring to the issue of Harem that it was published in. It says "ハレム　Vol. 9　収録", meaning "Harem Vol.9" and the last word I get a definition for of "recording; compilation" which makes sense in context but doesn't...

It seems like the delay might have been because they were waiting for the tankoban. While I realize that the collected versions have changed up the chapter ordering a bit I think most of us would still generally prefer to get more regular releases using the individual chapters instead of waiting...

@furiousgreen I know, right? It's a great story, but I don't know if people who don't have experience with BDSM completely realize how many moments get it absolutely right. Which is pretty exceptional when almost everything else to portray BDSM in fiction tends not to understand it. I can read...

@AstarothTheInquisitor Spoilers for Black Label: It's also interesting because they really started setting this up with Chapter 6, but we haven't seen much movement since then. I'm particularly curious since they've rearranged the order of the chapters for the tankoban. Probably due to moving...

Wow... that's some hardcore feels. It's been a while since we saw this much focus on Nana's feelings. Not to mention simply getting more progress on the relationship. Even foreshadowing it with the "we're not in that kind of relationship" from Nana. I was hoping we'd have seen more visible signs...

@obsidianpassion It was originally set after the end of the regular manga, but before Black Label. However now it's been used to fully bridge over that gap in time and moving on so that it's no longer in some weird in-between period, but moving the timeline forward. Black Label was great and...

So glad to see that this is getting translated again! So much of this rings absolutely true to real-world BDSM relationships. If the author doesn't have any personal experience in this area, he did his homework and utterly nailed it.

@jameaney Rope is actually pretty expensive. That is, for well-made, pre-processed hemp or jute rope designed for bondage. Typical prices in the US are about $1/foot. The standard length is around 7-8 meters or about 30 feet, so that's roughly $30 per bundle. Many ties will use two or three...

@AckSed and future translators I realize that's how it was translated, but the term used in the West is In Japanese my understanding is that the word is used most often. Same general meaning in both languages. It's just one of those idiomatic oddities. In this case also requiring specialized...

Raws shouldn't be too hard to come by since it's for an online publication. From what I'm seeing you can buy them individually on the sites listed under "Retail" for only 110円. I'm sure it wouldn't be that difficult to get some donations that could easily cover it.

I'm really curious what word Sarashina-sensei uses in the raw that was translated to "partner". It's such a delicate, nuanced phrasing that I feel like it would add a lot of additional insight. In particular the usage of "partner" is quite interesting since I find that it's often a default term...
