Houkago Kitaku Biyori - Ch. 34 - Let's Draw

[hentako]

Wise sage art teacher gets it 🙏

 

[Idiot69]

I'd love a spin-off manga focusing on Boss' daily life

 

[draxdeveloper]

so, more one person to cheer for them?

 

[Nemo2342]

I knew the Boss wouldn't let us down.

I've been a weeaboo for a decade now and I was expecting some sort of t/l note for the last orange instead of blue part because I'm not sure I could figure it out. I know blue is from aoharu / seishun (youth) and the orange is from the sunset. is the old man making a joke about this? also on a related note, why is youth blue? why does it use that character?

 

[telefonevoador]

Love the instant warmth on the teacher once Chokki mentions the sunset. He gets inspired by the uninterested student being so purposeful in her palette choice

 

[GoldenSpin]

what a wonderful scene... sometimes the moments like this just leave a expression through the whole life

I've heard 青春 (seishun, youth/adolescence) referred to several times as containing the kanji for "green spring".

青 has a bit of a history. Nowadays it's generally translated as "blue", but with regard to plants it's still typically the "green" of new leaves.

ooh that's very interesting, thanks. just made a whole bunch of connections in my mind, like some manga/light novels referring to youth being the spring of your life. not only does it make sense etymologically, it also makes sense in a way that it's literally referring to the "start" of your whole life that you've still got ahead of you.

the green of spring is definitely a more fitting translation imo, but I still see a lot of manga with ao in the title being translated as blue. like blue box, for instance. I wonder why. my association with that would be the blue of summer/spring skies

Blue and Green are (to my knowledge) the same word in Japanese. They don’t differentiate like English does. Actually a few languages leave out certain colors

oh yeah I totally get that. I'm just wondering why translators in particular choose to use blue instead of green

 

[yummyyummy]

shes so cute man

The orange warmth of her feelings rather than emptiness of the vast blue sky?

 

[havelmom]

her escaping the school immediately sent me

 

[nicolas22g]

Boss in the place

 

[Lunkli]

I'm imagining a future where Chokki is still so romance-minded that she still doesn't have Shun's phone number, despite the fact that they've been married for twenty years. A family member asks her if she can call him for something and she's just like "no."

 

[Chronigan]

My youth is a void of color.

At least you can use the word is. Means you have time to change it. I, on the other hand, must use the word was.

 

[Chronigan]

Really lovely chapter, I like how happy her teacher was by her artistic decision. Could this be the start of Orange Period???

I have not heard of an orange period, but I have heard of a blue period. Thats when girls leak window washer fluid, right?

 

[Sky_Ravager]

Amazing as always. Thanks for the chapter and happy new year!

I thought Ao is blue and Midori is green (?)
