Houkago Kitaku Biyori - Ch. 20 - Let's Get Warm

[Darkshade13]

"Cute underwear, bro."



Oh my god how is she so perfect?

Hah. I almost thought homeboy was going to start putting the moves on her. Damn you, The Deadly Japanese Cold! 🤭

I'm also glad Chokki-chan got to see some cute underwear for her troubles.

Don't take the Deadly Japanese Cold lightly. It kills more people than black company overwork and isekai Truck-kun combined.

I’m just here wondering what counts as “cute underwear” for men.

 

[Jatopian]

TL credits page should've used an old-style bluescreen instead. This is the manga that did a whole chapter on the romance of old tech, after all.

 

[Julwid55]

Inject this shit right into my veins

 

[Shamz]

Thought he was blushing from finally seeing her again but it was just fevar.. aiyo

 

[Siddy00]

This chapter just had so much: Chokki's bright smile in the very first panel, the immediate decision to help, the fainting/collapsing kabedon, drafting the teacher, "girl, I live here", "cute underwear, bro", the postcard, the confession of boredom, Chokki's tender smile on page 14, the confusion about their last names.

Amazing work as always! Thanks for the chapter!

 

[Tinker_OwO]

Damn, I love how "aggressive" this series is loll

Like it still is on wholesome part of the spectrum, but it's not afraid to put the characters in more intimate situations loll I also love how the characters aren't super dense yet still put some space between the 2 of them

Idk how this author does it, but they just GET IT

 

[coyote_vdb]

Thanks for the translation.

 

[Chuito]

Hand holding, Kabedon, going to his room, enjoying the view of him in his underwear, staring at him as he sleeps, meeting his family. They gotta slow down there else we get some mini Shuns and Chokkis in less than 10 chapters

LETS GOOO FULL SPEED AHEAD.
LETS POUR SOME GASOLINE ON THIS ROMANTIC FIRE

 

[MaCl0wSt]

Oh boy, so sweet.

Thanks for the chapter!

 

[profroche]

I know the whole "I have to take care of you because you have a cold" thing is cliche, but I don't care because this was just so so so so so good.

Yup, everything here is so tropey but this is such a nice read

 

[Wouju]

so damn cute
thank you for the TL!

 

[CarRock]

Oh my god

 

[hubbadubbadubba]

This MC can't stop hugging this poor girl.

I gotta say, despite the occasional weirdness on holding hands, etc, I love how neither of them shies away too much from physical contact. Be it hugging, stroking one’s hair, touching their face, etc., neither Chokki nor Shun refrain much from touching one another. Good stuff.

 

[Snovember]

Tropes themselves aren’t bad, but their execution… yeah.

On an unrelated note, I’m curious if the TL took some liberties w/ the p 10 dialogue ("Girl, I live here…" and "Cure underwear, bro.")? Acknowledging that the original probably didn’t have that exact turn of phrase, respectively, I’d be curious what spurred the decision to translate it as decidedly more informal and leisurely than Satou^2 conversed before.

 

[poba]

We got a full course this chapter uh. I'm like 🫄

 

[banjomarx]

I mean, they have to get married now because they held hands so...

I mean, I feel like Satou^2 (genius name btw that I'm stealing) have always been pretty casual compared to other Shoujo duos, Shun calls her girl a few more times when they are messing around, and their banter has been pretty casual ever since they started getting close

The "bro" and Shun's frequent "girl..." aren't in the raws. The bedroom exchange is just "yeah, this is my home" and "cute pants you're wearing." So it's either the TL adding their own flavor, or trying to translate informal vs. formal speech. Formal/informal JP is notoriously difficult to convey in English, and I've seen other series add "dude" in their attempts. Either way, I feel it works and shows how comfortable these two dorks are together.

 

[havelmom]

reading the raws, when it got to page 8 and she just gets off with him, that's when I started doing victory laps
this mangaka don't miss

also, top tier credits page, bravo
