Hey, everyone! It's time for the notes-notes:

• (p. 4) The anchor is the last runner of the relay race. Usually this would be the fastest runner.
• (p. 4) The "ts fes" sign is supposed to say "Kusano High School Sports Festival". The magic of Kanji makes that all fit in 5 characters. For the purposes of display, it's now "sports fes".
• (p. 6) Poor mob-kun doesn't have a name. "Heno" is just the characters that make up his face (へ and の).
• (p. 15) In case you're curious, the full program was:
  1. Opening ceremony
  2. Tug of War
  3. Egg Toss
  4. Relay
  5. Scavenger Hunt
  6. Pole Pull-down
  7. Inter-club Relay
  8. School Dance
• (p. 15) The confusion here stems from "nakami" as a word. We know that "nakami" is the nickname given by Kawashima to the camera figure, but it's also the Japanese word for "contents [of something]". In the flashback, Kawashima is seen saying the specific kanji for the word (中身) and not the nickname, contrary to what he did last chapter. This is due to Raika-senpai's misunderstanding of the sentence, being blisfully unaware of the Nakami-senpai that lives in Kawashima's camera. An alternative and more direct translation for this would be "It would be nice if we could swap [the contents/'nakami']."
• (cover summary) This comes from the MangaDex summary for the page.
• My willpower gave up in trying to do the author's afterwords. In summary, the book was originally conceived in 2016 and the author had to re-learn how to use a camera after 10 years of last using one.

Again, no timetable on the next chapter, but it should be out very soon. Thank you for reading and see you soon!

Is very cute. Now that the intro arc is over, here's to seeing some bonafide character development in the next volume

I'm thankful to the translator group, but wow, this is a continuously bad series.

In the previous chapter, Koito (the track and field girl) changed the event all on her own to be a foot race? To include Sasaki Tsugumi. That strikes no one as weird that everyone changed the planned event to fit what Koito wanted?

Then Raika (the short-haired, "blonde" girl who is also in the photography club) just massively changes the scavenger hunt event, and everyone is fine with that? No repercussions at all?

What is this? I understand the supernatural camera because that's given to us straightforwardly. There's no pretense about it. But then you have unrealistic human reactions.

This is bad writing.

You're covering up bad writing just because you like it.

If you want to have a mature conversation about it, you can give reasons for why it is good or why my reasons for it being bad are not true. We can discuss it even if neither of us changes our opinion, and that's fine.

But until you do so, you are just covering up for bad writing.

I have no intention to do so, because the only thing you try do to is kill fun for me. You'll fail, for sure

You have no intention to be mature. Okay. Cool.
