Doughnuts Under a Crescent Moon - Vol. 2 Ch. 8 - Injury and Realization

[RoseYuri]

oh they faked me out there. first make you think that the realization is just that she likes makeup and not what you would assume (that she's in love with Satou) but then it turns out it actually is that

Hand holding continues to be the lewdest form of affection.

 

[tducouteau]

Aaah, an awesome chapter as usual. I absolutely love being in Hinako’s head.

Thank you for the translation!

 

[NightmareWeeb]

The big gay has come.
There’s no going back.

 

[solutoh]

I just rewatch avatar and because of that the soundtrack has been stuck on my head so this was a fun read

 

[Eplayer]

holding hand so lewd
thanks for the chapter

Subaru saving us once again even if she misses out on pizza.

I'm always surprised by how fluidly this series tends to flow between casually silly, romantic and understated drama. The break between pages 25 and 26 really hit hard and I wasn't expecting it. It's like if Hinako is having too good of a time her insecurities bust in to remind her of her place.

Can't wait to read the next chapter, thanks so much for the scanlation.

 

[_kurisu_nyan]

thank you for the chapter!

 

[Katsuramuki]

I really like adult life yuri stories thanks for bringing this to us

 

[chusetto]

BANG HER ALREADY!

 

[silencers]

lewdest chapter so far. more please.

 

[justforthelulz]

This seems like quite a bit of progress in just eight chapters.

 

[Midoriha]

Asahi realizing everyone but her got messaged hit like a ton of trucks.
Horrible feel.

 

[Somka]

Violent emotions = Horny.

I wonder to what extent the mangaka get swept-up by limited-time offers, to what extent they instead expect their readers to get swept-up by such offers, and to what extent this notion of getting swept-up by such offers is peculiarly imputed to women by male readers.

For some reason, Japanese people really dig limited offers. Time-limited, amount-limited, low chance of actually getting what you want (*coughgachacough*)… doesn’t matter. If it’s limited, everyone wants it all of a sudden. I’ve seen this several times in manga already. Also, if two stores are selling the same product (like the tapioca tea fad), people will stand in the longer queue because if more people go to that store, it must mean that it’s better, right? That was even lampshaded and justified in one chapter I read (can’t remember which) because one of the characters wanted to have time to talk with the other. Stores take full advantage of that by having strange limited offers, such as a café having a “women only” drink or a “couples only” dish (used as a plot point here, but I’ve seen it elsewhere too). Why prevent some customers from buying something when the store obviously has it in stock? Because it’s more expensive and people will buy it anyway because it’s limited. 😉

This of course isn’t true for all Japanese people, but for some reason, they seem to be particularly susceptible to limited availability offers. Not just women, men as well. Also not limited to mangas; I saw many actual limited offers during a vacation in Japan.

Bloom Into You vibes, especially Asahi and her "will never fall in love with anyone".

 

[mmosimca]

Last two pages have a bit of a minor mistake, maybe?

"I want..."
"these violent emotions were inside even me."

This doesn't flow together very well.

 

[igenetycs]

@mmosimca They're not meant to. The whole build up is about how she finds herself filled with desire for Asahi, and about realizing what it's like to be the one in love. Her head is spinning, she's overwhelmed, her thoughts are racing. That's what the last few pages are showing, ending with the trailing off of "I want..." (which, to me the natural interpretation would be something along the lines of "I want her to love me", but taking it purely at face value, it's a general show of desire).

The last page is a separate thought. The "violent emotions" are feelings of love, desire, possessiveness, etc. (depending on your personal interpretation). She'd watched others feel this way for her, while trying and failing to have these feelings for others. Now it's crashing down on her that these feelings are inside her too.

@CatWEax—

Thanks. I'd seen the theme many times in manga, but I am wary of making inferences; I know how the popular media of my own country misrepresent ordinary life.

 

[Stormtomte]

Someone else already pointed it out but I like the small touches, in this case, the exaggerated finger poke and that Asahi is ticklish.

@dokidoki
Just what Kisarazu said.

I myself always thought of it as a version of "play nice" but for use with older people i.e not kids.
