Does anyone need an apology form to Akira?

 

[UdenEmpati]

I already liked Akira even though she came off super strong and seemed a bit scary--it just felt like there had to be more under the surface, given what Yuuki was saying about how she used to be.
This chapter solidifies it. Awesome cousin, and that heart-to-heart between them along with the Big Reveal behind Yuuki's character is why I enjoy this series so much. The author's not afraid to balance out the fluffy yuri with a bit more drama and some heavier elements, but also with actual character velocity and consistent building-out of their respective arcs....and even how they interact and relate to one another.
Yuuki helping Akira out even as the latter was "mentoring" the former was the icing on the cake. Akira might resist hearing her own advice and praise from her cute younger cousin, but it's clear this little excursion of theirs will help her move forward, as well.

I feel like Yuuki's been fully unlocked now. It'll still take time for her to get fully up to speed ("baby steps", after all); but I think Asaka will need to watch out, because her girlfriend's about to stop holding back.



It will be interesting to see what comes of this "trial dating" thing, in the long term. I assume that's still in play as a plot point, though I don't see how they can pull back from this after how in-love they both are with their best friend (each other). But here's to only steps in the upward direction from here on out, come what may.

Thanks for the TL work as always.

That was really cute actually :}

 

[Aliceteria]

Both them so adorable

 

[Turbotune]

The growth and love they have is just beautiful…
Need more of this childhood Yuri energy, can’t believe this group all started as childhood friends…

"I had an abusive boss, so I became the abusive boss" yeah no gtfo.

 

[faaresemo]

I mean, she inadvertently kept her promise, so I think you're perfectly fine to take that brat's words to heart

I'm sure Asaka would like the idea of running a cute shop with Yuuki and a cat.
Thanks for the translation!

 

[ChenLiwei]

Can I just say I love how round everyone is drawn

 

[Siklaws]

Maybe Yuki was not telling all the details, was that realy her big trauma? She saw 3 of her many many friend complaining about her behind her back one single time?

Thanks for the translations!

Akira's story is cool sure but like it's a bit hypocritical to be giving advice after you spent several days abusing your cousin at work without even giving an apology, what are we doing here

"I had an abusive boss, so I became the abusive boss" yeah no gtfo.

Tsundere boss, aside from bossy act and make her work which she get pay, abusive ? is too much. She is not friendly is all

 

[outinthegardener]

The lesson is, if your boss is on a nasty power trip, the correct thing is to punk 'em in the teeth. Serve that fist cuisine.

Ironic that she's become the nasty boss deserving of five-finger food.

 

[Zimboy825]

She dropped her in the water.

Anyway it’s nice to see the backstory around how they have changed

 

[BattleCatPerson]

Now we need a chapter of asaka comforting yuuki about her trauma

Whatever else you want to say, Page 15 is a cool panel of Akira.

Does anyone need an apology form to Akira?

Mmm, nope, I don't think I do...

Besides which, I find advice like, "Just do what you want," or "Don't care about what other people think" to often be very incomplete and potentially dangerous. The sentiment is nice, but there is value in considering others' opinions as well. The difficulty is finding a balance between the two extremes.

Anyways, I will give it to Akira that she was/is cute though, and it sucks that she had a bad boss. Not a good reason to become one yourself though...
