i agree with the translator's comments at the end!
sometimes i wonder how it feels to call someone by their first name and actually feel something or a sense of closeness y'know? makes me kinda wish there was that kind of culture as well here in my country~

@sleepyfoxscanlations Question about your credit page. Saeki-san, as in, Saeki-san wants to sleep? Or a mangaka with multiple fluff works? I'm also a sucker for floof and romance, so I'm always on the look out for more.
Also, about the NTR thing... I dropped a short comment in the previous chapter if you wanna read it.

@Tatherwood Yup, I was referring to Saeki-san wa Nemutteru, since I scanlated that series as well. Sorry to have to disappoint you in your quest for further fluff.
As for my complaint about people shouting about NTR: I understand that people worry over it— as I think I've mentioned before, I'm not that fond of seeing exes come by either. But what was bothering me at the time I wrote this credit page was all the people that never comment on anything else suddenly popping out of the woodwork just to shout "oh NTR I'm outta here, what a crappy series". I mean, that alone isn't even that bad, it's more the fact that this always happens with basically any romance series as soon as any character that seems age-appropriate and is attractive shows up, whether they're depicted as being (or even just hinted to be) an ex or not. After being exposed to it repeatedly in a short time span, I got kind of fed up and wrote that mini-rant.
Edit: Just to clarify, he's not even an ex here, but people went crazy. Also I forgot to address your comments regarding jealousy as a plot device. I mean...for one, there's basically nothing that isn't a trope at this point. You could call nearly any of them overused. As far as jealousy goes specifically, I think it's also used so frequently because it's something most of us have experienced. It's a very common part of real relationships. That makes it believable and easy to empathize with a character. Anyway, I don't think it's overused in this series, but to each their own.

@sleepyfoxscanlations Oh, you helped the quest alright. From the summary, Saeki seems in line with Takagi-san and...what's the other one... One with a guy always doing weird shit in his desk and the classmate can't keep her eyes off whatever he's doing. (EDIT: Tonari no Seki-kun, in case anyone was wondering).
Seems promising XD
About people coming out of the woodwork JUST for that, then yeah, sure. I mean, I belong to the group that cries NTR and runs away, but I also actively participate in the series up to that point, mostly. I like commenting...
About the jealousy thing, I didn't mean necessarily overused in THIS series, just overused in general. 99% of the romance I read, whenever I reach a point that I think "...we're about to add drama for plot progression, aren't we?", I swear to God I could bet my life's savings on "third person" and "jealousy" and by today I'd be richer than Jeff Benzos. I agree with you, jealousy is something we've all experienced. You know what else is something we've all experienced (more like 99%, probably, but I'd say it's the same with jealousy)? Losing a relative. Even a grandparent. It's literally the cycle of life, people die. Have one of the couple be really fond of that relative, have the relative die, have that put strain on the relationship. That HAS happened. When you're in so much pain that you push people away. And yet, nope, let's go for third person.
Anyway, it's just my personal take on that. I'd say I'm just as tired of it as you are of the NTR thing. I'm just fed up with it. I dislike drama in general (hence why I pursue Romance and floof), but I can understand the need of it for plot progression...kinda... But when 99.99% of drama is third person, exes and jealousy it's like "COME ON! You're an author, you're being paid for this, can't you think of ANYTHING different?". So I rant >_<
In any event, thanks for the answer. And for Saeki

@Tatherwood Ahh, I thought that meant you'd already read Saeki, haha. Well then, I'm glad I was able to help in that regard xD. I don't know if you're reading "Kono Koi wa Fukami-kun no Plan ni wa Nai." but that's fairly fluffy too. But it does use jealousy a little bit too :X.
And yeah, I got what you meant with it being overused in general, and I somewhat agree. As far as that alternative technique trope though, I personally never lost a relative until my mid-20s, so that would've been hard for me to relate to for a good while, heh. I'm not saying that it isn't more interesting than jealousy, because it is, my little blurb there was more of a side note than anything.
Edit: That thing about Fukami-kun is more shameless self-promotion, by the way.

@sleepyfoxscanlations Hey, I like your works, so I have no problem with the plug XD
But...yeah, I checked the summary and I don't think it quite tickles my fancy. And with the warning, I'll take a pass on that one.
I'm already reading a few others of yours anyway, wither solo or with Ace or another group (You like me, not my daughter? was an omegalul, too bad there's little yet. And I'm quite liking Saeki, so I've got stuff for a few days).
So yeah, anyway. Thanks, and keep up the good work ^^
