thank you for the april fools chap it was unnecessarily high quality jokes, and now i thank the teams for the official part

edit: you guys should put it under 16.1 april fools chap, it seems like a waste to hide it
Ah its a april fools chapter. I was about to ask wth was up with all the adults and why even his parents mistrust him so greatly. "it's an issue if you spend a couple hours alone to cook and eat" "It's a big issue to stay for a few hours, what would you do if something happened?" "can't let 2 teenagers spend the evening alone together".
I hadn't even realized it was april fools jokes, so I was getting upset at the stupidity.

Like, I could understand if they told handed them condoms and told them to ensure they are safe (maybe even demand they get some lecture on it). Hell, would even understand if they said "no sex until marriage", even if that would be oddly invasive in their kids life and a sentiment that makes no real sense ever since we stopped selling our daughters to men as some form of commodity, in something called "marriage".

Apparently it was an april fools chapter that just hasn't been removed yet - if the first comment is correct.
This is not the April fool's one tho right? I think I read the April fool's one on the 1st, and I remember it being different. Dunno manm my memory is shit so I could be wrong.

I dunno, I just sw the first comment - and it does check out with what the cast are spewing out, including that "bet" line.

I'm ashamed that I understood the April fools chapter to the degree that the real chapter brought no new information 💀
Yeah you just needed to replace rizz with cook and like 90% stayed understandable

I think you misunderstood that line's intent, it's akin to why schools won't let kids do whatever they want inside the school's premises but stop caring once they're outside.

Regardless of how short her stay was, they'd have been held responsible had anything happened since it would have taken place inside their house without her parents' approval ever being given. Then, unrelated to her being at their house in the past, there's the issue of letting two teenagers unsupervised every evening for a whole month.
yThese kinda of situations in manga usually are very cringey and hard to read but this one was kinda nice idk why
hm

i dont get it
Wow, the two parent pairs meeting actually happened much sooner than I expected. I guess it does make sense given the only chance is either before or after Youshin's parents leave for business. Better to say hi and try to get along with the future in-laws sooner.
Mama Tomoko to the rescue with that sensible suggestion. There's almost no way two hormonal teenagers who are dating and in a house where the parents are away will not try to do anything. Even Youshin himself is not confident he can hold back. As per mama Tomoko, he can just go to their house, and that also means Nanami's not at risk of getting attacked by perverts having to walk back home at night (even if Youshin will escort her). It's just inherently safer this way.

I love that Nanami's parents consider them engaged now and Youshin's parents accepted it fairly easily. The pressure on them to keep dating after the deadline is up just keeps on building: there are now more cons than pros to breaking up the "fake" relationship when the time is up.

On a side note I didn't notice this earlier but Mama Shinobu on page 6 seems to be much more... well endowed than at first glance. Maybe his parents are both good at keeping their power levels hidden. inb4 Youshin is also getting a new sibling a certain number of months from now after their business trip is over.

It's ironic that you say this on a Japanese comic (manga) where the overarching trend is to just translate word for word from Japanese.
It was translated improperly, or the translator has used zoomer speak instead of English. There's no irony here.

Correct. The April Fool's one is not listed anymore (https://mangadex.org/chapter/b603e0bf-865c-4a71-a11c-d388016dbef3). The "Bet!" panel might have just been an oversight in converting the AF translation to a regular translation (it's the same in the AF version) or the translator actually thinks that's an English speaking response to "Fine, but I don't think it'll be easy...", which would be troubling.

In this panel, Nanami replies to Shinobu's remark by saying it'll be fine.
The "Bet!" from the April Fools' chapter made it into the actual chapter because it fits the original bubble better intent and tone-wise than our original translation. It's a cheeky and perky reply showing her confidence to Shinobu's doubt, just like the original's.

Whatever. It's your translation. It's not English though. It doesn't make any sense. I guess she just got a sudden case of zoomer, despite never using terms like that before or after.
