Houkago Kitaku Biyori - Vol. 2 Ch. 16 - Let's Go Pick Up Autumn

[Jackist]

---

While I’m reading this chapter. I’m smiling and feeling warm and happy. Then the phone screen turns off and I see my ugly mug reflecting back and reality comes rushing back to say fuck you.

But man, for those 5-10 minutes while you’re reading it sure feels nice.

Shun's ability to adapt to these little events is a truly great but understated quality. Or I guess, more specifically, I love his internal monologue and how earnestly he often tries to wrap his head around "the romance" Chokki (and friends) display. It's a bit hard to explain but I think things like him observing and trying to understand the acorn rates feels like a sign that he's just a very sweet kid by nature. There could have so easily been a jackass MC that constantly complains about getting dragged into things by an annoyingly persistent girl (and there are many, many stories like that - some of which are even good!) but it's such a breath of fresh air that Shun's first instinct to anything is to try and understand rather than be judgmental.

I can strangely relate to this chapter, collecting seeds from trees was my "hobby" back in elementary school

For me, it was bottle caps and ice cream sticks. We also used them for tabletop games in recess.

I should start collecting sticks again.

Chokki casually wrapping her Christmas present on page 5

The entire exchange with the kids and under the leaves is adorable ^^

Many thanks for the chapter, as always!

PS The third speech bubble in the bottom right panel on page 13 seems slightly off: it seems like it should be one by Shun, but now it's Chokki's. Judging by the flow of conversation, I'd guess something like "My legs, remember?"

I also collected bottle caps for a bit, but eventually stopped because I thought the damp dirt that was sticking underneath the caps was kinda gross

I believe I still have that bagful of red seeds back in my granny's house, maybe I should look for it some other day.

a few years back, I collected a bunch of really nice conkers and put them in an old chocolate tin. When I checked in on them a few months later they were all mouldy, I had to throw them out

not super relevant but this chapter reminded me of that
also I haven't collected any since then

Thanks for the translation.
Nice chapter as usual.

Precious little beans.

I wonder what Chokki was trying to do with the hair ribbon thing, other than match her (cute) headband.

Just an excuse to get up In his personal space and stay there awhile. As friends.

The weird giant acorn I found with the giant frilly cap would be a huge hit in the acorn trading world, lemme tell you. Burr oak I think. I still have an urge to collect acorns, I have a few nice piles too

You've reminded me of when were we 10, we started collecting the safety pins from fire extinguishers. My parents tore me a new one when they found 20+ pins in my sock drawer.

 

[MaCl0wSt]

Precious, as always.

Thanks for the chapter!

[Sayara]

Invest your stock in your acorn trading. I'm going full investment for round one as it price is always stable.

Idk man, Big Round Acorn have been having a lot of lay offs lately...

 

[pir0zhki]

Chokki using his headband to give him a cute little bow, and him just totally unfazed letting her do it without complaint, was just precious.
