Anata Mitai ni - Ch. 1

[Skiddyspots]

Oh I am here for this.

 

[toru_okada]

Man an honest-to-god straight(heh) up actual lesbian romance, without all the fetish bs. I live for this.

Characterization is pretty solid so far too, can't wait to see how Kurisu develops. Seems like she saw Yayoi as her fairy godmother that would take her away from her unfulfilling life, but it's not that simple, never really is.

I can't wait to see how they'd depict Yayoi's yearning. I can only imagine how giddy and happy she is seeing her unrequited love again for so long. its fucking romance babyyy.

*edit: read yayoi's parting line at the elevator again ugh im swooning damn

Kurisu got put in the "I don't know if I wanna be her or be with her" blender lol, very excited to get a chapter from Yayoi's POV and to keep seeing these two interact

thanks for the chapter!

I was so confused with what Yayoi meant with "you can close your eyes if you want to" on page 24. Finally checked the raws and it turns out it meant "close your eyes if it's not a no".

 

[ryuumajin]

This is surprisingly normal and mature way of telling a story. I wonder how they'd go from here.

 

[FiddlePop]

YUNIIIIIII!!!!!! YOU'VE GOT ME HOOKED AGAIN!!!

 

[ohjeezdude]

Couple thoughts:

1. That escalated quickly.
2. Somethings seems.... off about Yayoi-san. Like her intentions aren't 100% pure.

oooo i’m sensing this one is going to be interesting. thank you for translating!!

 

[kaptenkeren]

If there's line like "I'm a woman but do xxx with other woman" it's a best Yuri genre. No matter if the plot is ansurd. (This one is normal I think)

i kinda sick when play sim game like farming simulation, has same sex romance, but never mention the gayness. So far only one game that has awakened gay line. And npc/family of your partner respond the same sex relationship of you and their family member. Example, "yay now I have two sister"

Sorry if I rant.... And thanks for the translate. Lol

was hoping for a twist there so that they are not work colleagues...looks decent anyway.

If that's what the raw says, I'd be far more confused. Given Kurisu's mind is clearly racing in this situation and Yayoi wants to progress this, it made good sense to me that Yayoi would say something that could be interpreted another way as, "If you're not 100% comfortable, close your eyes and make believe something else."

so like she is saying, "if you aren't comfortable with a gal, image a dude is me"
I knew a gay dude who told me his first time was with an older gent that said the same thing to him. I just couldn't understand it, until he explained it to me like I was three years old. Then it clicked.

This is like electrolytes for my body. Predictable, cliche or whatever. Just gimme.

It's not that complicated. Yayoi was giving her an easy way to consent. Eyes closed = consent.
But "close your eyes if you want to" made it imply, at least to me, something like "feel free to close your eyes but I'm doing it anyway"?

I love yuni's work and this has a fantastic start.
Thank you for the translation!
