Well that's at the very least was slightly less depressing than the first chapter. Glad to see her defending herself from that shitstain abusive waste of oxygen. And she has an actual friend :win:

Thanks for the chapter

Page 9 has a mistranslation. She doesn't compare Mondou (the cult that they're in) to parrots. She compares it to the Aum Shinrikyo cult (their new name is Aleph, which is mentioned in the description), which was responsible for the Matsumoto and Tokyo subway sarin attacks that happened in the 90s. Their religion was being compared to a terrorist organization, that's why they were so offended.

Ok but seriously why do people translate a single chapter and then like, nothing else ever again. This looks like it could be one of Fumi Fumiko's best works and then just, nothing? whack.

Well? Do you want to help him atleast?

What's the most I can do is be patience not just like you whining waaaah why no chapter again after he tled the 1st one.

Anyway, I'm really glad that someone pick this up.

Well I obviously don't know Japanese but if I was asked to be like a proofreader for the script I'd be than more than happy to do that if they DMed me or whatever. Also, I'm all for being patient but when a single chapter gets translated and then nothing else for three years it's annoying and just tells me they dropped it, which they did because the 2nd chapter was translated by a different group who seem to have no interest in translating the rest either. If you're fine with getting a chapter every three years than fine by you but I'd like to actually know the conclusion in my lifetime.

It also annoys me because scanlation groups are clearly capable of translating manga with significantly more text than this but they won't do this, likely because this is a niche author writing outside what they're usually known for in English circles (lgbt and psychosexual dramas, and also not to mention that they have no official translations of their work into English either, making them even more obscure and niche). I hope the group actually picked this up and didn't just translate a chapter but considering it's been three months Im not feeling like it's likely.

This is why we need sex ed since kindergarten, things kids don't realize and be able to stood up, tell if something is wrong to others.

I can understand the "religious beliefs" and empty prayers, this mind-blowing that this is still continued in the modern world, ethics is good, but false hopes is just wrong.

Thanks for the scanlation!
