You have a mistake in your translation on page 8. The joke/point is that the word for such a transformer, 柱上変圧器 (chūjōhen'atsuki), is provided the furigana reading ポールトランス (pōrutoransu). She's replying that this is analogous to writing the characters 宇宙 (typically "uchū") but reading as them コスモ (cosmo), not that the transformer has anything to do with outer space.

Interesting hobby aside, the way this manga is written and the main characters' genuine interest with each other really hooks me. Probably one of the best upcoming Josei mangas right now.
Oh, for sec I forgot that this is a josei manga. Normally it's seinen manga that have these fluffy, unserious romance settings. Just our main duo doing random things.

Certain mangakas have a Seinen style but often get their works published on Josei. And some Seinen mangakas decided to publish one of their works on Josei. And this applies to all demographics, actually. I've seen Shounen works made by Seinen mangakas, some Seinen mangas made by Shoujo/Josei mangakas, and Shoujo/Josei made by Shounen/Seinen mangakas. It happens.

But you are absolutely right that romance + SOL combo is a Seinen specialty, with the rest of the demographics playing catch up.

Seeing the two of them just stroll around gives such a chill vibe, despite the fact that it's just walking around, i really like the series so far, and that's to be expected with how much I found hanazono interesting despite most of the quirky discussions between it's two leaks

Appreciate the tl ♥️

Hmm, would this manga work in another setting, like New York? Or would there be a genre-shift?.. :whistle:
