    Haikei, Arishi Hi ni Saku Hanatachi e - Ch. 19.2

    Give the raws a like. Igarashi's comments on ch19: In 1993, Japanese author Tsurumi Wataru wrote "The Complete Manual of Suicide." It sold one million copies and is exactly what the title describes. In the postscript he notes, "To think that at the worst crucial moment, one can escape from the...

    Haikei, Arishi Hi ni Saku Hanatachi e - Ch. 19.1

    Did it start with Karin's private tutoring she left? Problems at her middle school? At home? Why was Karin so intent on getting into that college? Did she know someone who'd be going there? Did her family go there? We don't know. We'll never* know. It could have been anything or nothing and...

    Mietemasu yo! Aizawa-san - Ch. 34 - Tear-ko, Idol Legend

    You're right and I may have blindly written the possibility off. But there's a few things that trip me up with that explanation. On a meta level, this flashback wants to raise questions but I don't think it wants to confuse with if we're even seeing Nagi. It's her full reveal after all. And it...

    Mietemasu yo! Aizawa-san - Ch. 34 - Tear-ko, Idol Legend

    Give the raws a like. Long chapter, long post. There's something so simple about the perception shift this chapter. Like a key unlocking and now DeLphi changed from a band of 3 struggling along in the aftermath of 1 loss to a family barely surviving in the wake of 2. Nagi was without a doubt...

    Haikei, Arishi Hi ni Saku Hanatachi e - Ch. 18.5 - Side Story

    Don't forget to give the raws a like. (I forgot to post that last chapter) What a testament to Arisaku's quality that, as tightly written and artistic as it is, such a basic slice of life fanservice chapter feels like hidden treasure. I wouldn't want these too often but please Igarashi, spoil...

    Haikei, Arishi Hi ni Saku Hanatachi e - Ch. 18.2

    Igarashi's comments: It's hard to discuss the arc without addressing Igarashi's circumstances, but I think it plays well into the meta-narrative of the manga. Arisaku is a love letter to the past, carrying Class S into the future, without shying from the ugly nature of such a transformation...

    Mietemasu yo! Aizawa-san - Ch. 33 - The Truth Is...!

    Vote for Aizawa-san here. Give the raw chapters a like. There goes the status quo. Dorothy wasn't kidding about this being a turning point in the manga. After all the post-volume 5 talk of 'beginning the answer part' I had 2 fears: that it would still be resistant to major changes until...

    Mietemasu yo! Aizawa-san - Ch. 32 - Ghostbuster Ghost

    That's a great point. I never expected Dorothy to explicitly address the eyes, but it might be as simple as someone knowing of that tell and making it diegetic. Or it's possible there's another layer to sight, like seeing someone's aura. I'm curious how far Dorothy wants to expand on the...

    Mietemasu yo! Aizawa-san - Ch. 32 - Ghostbuster Ghost

    Next Manga 2026 Chapter 32 raw (leave a like) Dorothy described this chapter as feeling "back to the basics of volume 1." I describe it as this. It's pretty fun seeing Aizawa's usual antics from the perspective of someone who literally cannot comprehend them. But it's hard to shake the dread...

    Haikei, Arishi Hi ni Saku Hanatachi e - Vol. 4 Ch. 18.1

    Give the raws a like. I retract my previous assessment. Fuck Yurika, all my homies hate Yurika. Only Aoyama deserves a happy ending here. I was pretty spot-on with this description however: Sayori's arc led us to believe no matter how toxic, the pair could see eye to eye. Yamabe's arc led us...

    Haikei, Arishi Hi ni Saku Hanatachi e - Ch. 17.2

    Like the raws. Hardly know where to begin besides whoa. This chapter starts clouded by foreknowledge that Aoyama was taken advantage of. The flashback is presented in quick snapshots, jumping from scene to scene without transition. These snapshots could all be sweeter in another context (and it...

    Haikei, Arishi Hi ni Saku Hanatachi e - Ch. 17.1

    Link to like the raws. I don't want to dwell on the situation in the credits page here; it's weighed on me plenty already. The last thing I want is to hurt an artist by doing this. I have to trust everyone can cooperate and keep the translations more private. The theme this chapter is maturity...

    Mietemasu yo! Aizawa-san - Ch. 31 - Cursed

    Give the raw chapters a like if you can. - Odoroo Dorothy After half a year we're finally back. The delay can partially be explained by Dorothy's other manga, Banpu-sensei ending. She wanted to put extra focus on it so it ended well. But she's also been talking about Aizawa-san's return as a...

    Mietemasu yo! Aizawa-san - Vol. 5 Ch. 30.4 - Twitter Extras + Recap

    I apologize to Mrs. Kurotori for this hit piece. I'm sure she's a lovely lady. So it's back. Like actually, not a drill. I have typeset ch31 though I wanted to upload this recap a day in advance as a refresher, otherwise I'm sure the comment section would look like an alzheimers support group...

    Haikei, Arishi Hi ni Saku Hanatachi e - Vol. 4 Ch. 16.2

    Flashbacks to a certain Gundam Wing scene. Aoyama's an odd character. She's desperate to talk to Kasumi about the letter, yet doesn't seem too happy to have it back. Of course we know in fuller context she never wanted to write the letter. Indeed she probably didn't want to find anyone using...

    Haikei, Arishi Hi ni Saku Hanatachi e - Vol. 3 Ch. 15.7 - Bluesky Doodles

    Glad you brought this up. Not many realize volume covers are commonly designed by an independent artist, who helps with composition before the mangaka illustrates. The mangaka does have a say in it of course, and sometimes they'll post unused cover drafts. But in this case Igarashi was simply...

    Haikei, Arishi Hi ni Saku Hanatachi e - Vol. 3 Ch. 15.7 - Bluesky Doodles

    I had fun deciding where to put that one, especially with how the reader's eye will naturally be lower for the text at the bottom of the first page only to catch onto the striking red of the boxcutter and then leap up to Sayori and Mizuki's red eyes/mouth. That composition is fantastic and...

    Haikei, Arishi Hi ni Saku Hanatachi e - Vol. 3 Ch. 15.7 - Bluesky Doodles

    You can tell Igarashi's fond of the boxcutter lovers. And Seika + Etsurou. I don't think they're going away, so hopefully you remember or reread the start of the Dominant crossover. As always I organized these in a superficial order where it felt the themes flowed. Some are missing context, for...
