Solid start and solid translation thank you! I do like how the fish mans name is more of a phrase than anything conventional, i love that kinda thing hope it sticks
Really liking the girls and doohickeys chemistry, really curious how their abilities will work in isolation of eachother
And honestly being monthly is kinda nice but thats just me; again, thank you for your work it's very much appreciated!

Ong, a jellyfish themed character, except she isn't the "regenerating" one, she usues it on others, hrm. Will we see her get sliced up soon as well, pretty unlikely since Azu is the penguin.

Woah I saw this in twitter a few days ago and was intrigued. Really happy it got translated, thank you! Also the blurry text speech bubble during that one underwater panel POV sure was creative.

Thanks for the chapter :D

I've been interested in this manga for a while now, so it's so nice to see it having gotten a translation!

I wonder if Kinoko's restoration will require her to spend an amount of time growing back up. How would that even work? Why is it a dream jellyfish anyway?

Anyway, this was a nice first chapter. I'm sort of getting Girl's Last Tour vibes between the two protagonists, which naturally comes with yuri. Cute Girls Doing Absolutely Terrifying Things (CGDATT) is a neat genre, so I'll definitely have fun reading this.

So, she is not actually undying. But, Kinoko is the reason why she is undying?

I like to take the wild guess that Dream Jellyfish ability is like making dream comes true and her dream is to make her friend stay alive.

Great translation overall but just wanted to make a minor note. On page 18, “this old man” probably fits better than “our guy”. It’s not just cuz Azu is clearly referring to herself rather than their unseen supervisor—if that was the case, “this guy” might still work since the age doesn’t matter even though she’s referring to herself as an oji-san. Rather, the age is important because she’s mimicking a certain, much-mocked typing style associated with older men in Japan. It’s sort of gross and flirtatious with lots of emojis, thus the random stern emoji next to the text. Just as proof, it’s even got its own article on Japanese Wikipedia.

That being said, I don’t read Japanese so forgive me if I’m wrong. I just encountered it while reading a web novel series once and so it jumped out at me here. I’m glad I get to use my bit of useless trivia about weird old Japanese guys
