This series was licensed in English by Comikey. As of writing this (25 September), they are at chapter 71, and they update weekly. You can find the series here, or under the "Read or Buy" section of the series page here. If you are unwilling to pay for officials, there are piracy websites out there, just give it a little effort to find them (and install an adblocker).

I don't know if Creanis was unaware of the official license of this series, or if they simply don't care; either way, it is a terribly foolish endeavor to scanlate a series with a simulpub license, especially with such horrendous quality. There are hundreds of series that get no attention, and this is not one of them.

Isn't it dropped because it's on comickey officially?

Not that the platforms great. They give you 2 partial chapters a day for free after breaking shit up in a really weird way. But its there.

The thing that infuriates me about comikey is that they release chapter parts over different weeks, rather than on the same day. Like, I don't mind paying for different parts of the same chapter but at least release them all at once. It's bullshit that I have to wait a week just to read the second half of a chapter. Fuck Comikey.

I'm glad to see someone pick this up, even if it is MTL'd. Hopefully a bigger group picks it up.

Edit: To clarify, I don't support MTL in any capacity, I just appreciative of this series getting exposure again.

It's back!!! Now, let's start all over again!

they are at chapter 71

I think I found the one that has chapters up to 71. I checked chapter 27, just to compare to what was released here. Its different.
The one we see updated here just now, the chapter 27? I think this is part of the sort of rewrite. The one I found is probably the older version before serialization.

Are you sure the serialization is up to chapter 71?

This has to do with the incredibly awkward publication format of this series. Chapter 27 here will line up with chapter 56 of the official English release. Why it is formatted this way is beyond me.

Thanks!

 

[Shinigamisama]

Ty for doing this regardless.


Senpai looks so cute with those expressions she did. And oh, he brought her home.

You're a real MVP for all that info. Was gonna start reading but held off because of the licensing.. but if I can read a good chunk here, then continue on where you mentioned.. I wont have to pay Comikey as much with their "wonky" way of doing things, but I can at least support the official release.

 

[spiffinn]

Thanks for the update!

 

[AnacondaHL]

lmao at the credits page names, well done

 

[K_Takuya]

Lmao i thought no one remembered this series
It was going on a slightly weird route despite the good art

 

[MetalGearLiquidus]

Yet another manga that I completely forgot that I read got another update years later. Thanks for the translation.

I don't know if this scan is a bad joke, but I highly recommend the official license Comikey.

As a big fan of their service, I'd like to defend them against the negative comments, which, to be fair, I understand how frustrating and odd it can be to seperate one long chapter into two or three parts depending on the length.
There's several reasons though, even if it can be frustrating.
Excluding the obvious reason that it gives time to release chapters of new volumes more consistently, it keeps their "key" system to never more than 3.

Now, on to why Comikey is great.
Budget. Compared to a volume purchase which typically costs around $10 or more which you have to wait for months, Comikey's manga/webtoons generally release weekly, if not bi-weekly.
Their system gives bundles of "keys".
Depending on the length of a chapter, it can cost 1-3 keys. Never more.
If you purchase several simultaneously, it gives you "extra keys".
Point is, at the end of the day, it's cheaper than paying around $100 for one or two complete manga over $30 with Comikey for at least three complete manga.

Although, they do have their little faults.
Notice of hiatus, and halt of chapters is unexplained unless you ask on discord to learn that they're waiting on their publisher to allow them to release new chapters.
Untranslated pages are mistakes of including blank pages from an already translated manga from another license.

Other than that, they're accessible to suggestions via email or discord, and are a great asset to licensing manga that aren't chosen by other licensors.

TLDR; Use Comikey, it's cheap and worth it.
