You’re such a giant loser go outside and interact with people please take a break from reading manga while ur at it holy
The boy is skirting dangerously close to turning into the classic spineless japenis protagonist, the type that stands passively while his girl is swept away by NTR man. I hope the author give him more spine in due course and not depend on the cliche oh noes we missed our train and have to sleep at the gasp! love hotel!

EDIT: just noticed, but Ema's surname should be spelled Oushita or Oshita? Why Ohshita?
Oh is just a different way to romanize the long o sound おう, another option would be Ō. At the end of the day doesn't really matter which romanization you use.

Unless you use just o when it's the long おう, that shit ain't right... I can't fathom why some people do it..

It's bad enough that historical precedent means were stuck with Tokyo and Kyoto when they really should be Toukyou and Kyoutou, judo and kendo when they should be jyuudou and kendou...

I am a firm advocate of ou, although in this case, my confusion comes from them using Oshita previously.

Still, I take your point. I remember seeing kendou way back in the early days of scanlation...

So it's puppy love for Lulu?
She looked like a puppy wanting to get close but too shy to do so.

Back to square one for our main couple or maybe just a slowdown to sort out their feelings.

I prefer ou too since it makes sense with the kana, but some have argued that "oh" gives a better idea of how it's supposed to be pronounced, which isn't entirely stupid either.

And yeah I don't actually know if it's supposed to be long or short o sound in this case, haven't checked the raws so don't know if Oshita or Ou/Ohshita is correct.

Edit: Oh and a pet peeve from the Japanese themselves, when they romanize つ as tu, so e.g. doubutsu -> doubutu. I get it, that's how you type it on a keyboard, but it's a really bad romanization. =)

Oh looks dumb. And English is such a street side whore when it comes to sounds that I am willing to go with looks over zoomer-appealing spellings.

Can you give me that specific page? There is no instances of me using Oshita in my translated sheet.

In most varieties of English, /o/ basically only exists as a long vowel, so it seems weird to explicitly mark it as long. Or at least that's my best guess.

Do you remember the first time you fell in love? I'm sure a lot of people felt the same way Shunpei does right now—torn between newly discovered feelings, doubts about how to act, and the fear of making a foolish mistake. That's exactly how I felt.
Hang in there, Shunpei! You're doing great! :glee::hearts::hearts::hearts:
Thank you for the translation!
