I didn’t know it was gonna be KyoAni, nice and makes sense considering Nichijou was excellently done by them as well. On the watchlist.

We are so back.

This series getting animated by KyoAni is tremendous, given that this is their first new property to animate since the arson incident. I bet they've been working on it for years, in secret.

Give a thought to poor @Martingatica56 for that double color opening page - every single bit of English text you see there was CLRD then TSed by him to look like the original pages.

Some minor TL notes:

- If you go back and look at the opening pages for CITY chapter 1, you can see that this revival opens almost exactly the same way, but with a tanuki instead of a bird. And then the exact same spread of the buildings, except with more characters from later in the series.

- That magazine Niikura's reading on the next page has text way too tiny to bother with, but that guy's the self-destructing magician Korekiyo Bodhisattva from when Nagumo was trapped in Tanabe's tower and then later.

- What Wako says on the last page isn't really directly translatable for western culture. She says 'after I only said it once'. This is a very Asian thing where you're supposed to say 'Oh no, please go anyhow' and the other person is supposed to say 'Oh no I couldn't possibly' and then you go back and forth a few times insisting the other person go anyhow and the other person keeps refusing, but then eventually says 'Well, if you INSIST then I guess we'll go, sigh....' It works like this with paying the check at a restaurant too, been there many times!

Anyhow, Niikura and Nagumo are so eager to go camping that they just say it once then immediately take off, leading Wako to protest that she only told them to go once and they should at least pretend to be a little more reluctant and make her say it a few more times. There's just no room to convey all this so I changed it from 'But I only said it once' to 'Even though you just said that (you couldn't possibly go).' Which as far as Japanese to English nuance is pretty good at keeping most of the meaning, I think!

I have a suspicion that KyoAni will now be completely reworking their business model, so they simultaneously want to get rid of tired shows and increase the focus on proven classics. So they adapt the new work of the author Nichijou and make a new season of Dragon-maid after the quick ending of Free and Hibike.

We are so back, thanks for translating :3
And I wish for KyoAni to do as well as they did on Nichijou, I still haven't gotten past the arson, and my hearth ashes again thinking about it.
Let's hope for the best.

Thank you kindly for the chapter!

At the frame with the shopping district gates you can see the bird from the opening story of chapter 1 flying in the sky.

By the way, I always though that with time the bird was kinda turned into CITY logo (to the left from the gates). If that true, interesting if the trap turned into something as well? A parking sign (P with an arrow)?

It's just stuck in a random pot somewhere as a decoration. Would not surprise me at all if
the trap showed up too. Or maybe it already has!
