You know, if this series started with them and her journey out of "darker self". I would've enjoyed it.

So should we expect the breakup next chapter or 2 because it sounds like the honeymoon phase will be over & everything looks dandy until that last line of dialogue. Thanks for the translations.

i feel like everything is too serene right now, waiting for the shitstorm happening next chapter, since it's the first half and everything

 

[Jaggernaut]

I like how the cover for the manga changed to this girl. Not even pretending to be about the childhood friend anymore.

 

[NickieTheFool]

Can't wait to see the comments, always fun reading them when theres a new chapter

 

[Qira_adan]

Time's up b*tch give us back our best girl!

Not going to lie, I know people here hate vanilla, but I enjoy Yami's and Yuu's relationship so far. Really cements why they got so heated in chapter 21 and kissed. But Yami's insecurities are ruining her and tainting her relationship. Just hope that the next chapter is still vanilla.

 

[Minipels]

Ok, nice backstory and all but WHERE IS CHILDHOOD FRIEND WE NEED TO TAKE FROM WHERE WE LEFT

 

[ShiroiElTsukai]

Yami-gang, rise up

 

[DragonsNDungeons]

Rabble rabble rabble. We don't like different things. No changes, nothing new. Downvote more

The chapter of the novel presents some interesting points. Please be aware that the excerpts were translated using MTL.

...

Yuu: “Sorry, I had to tell my parents I was going to a school study camp to get permission. I couldn’t stay longer…”
Yami: “Come to think of it, you lied to your parents the first time we stayed together too, didn’t you?”
Yuu: “Don’t remind me of that…”
Yami: “…Do you regret how things turned out between us?”
Yuu: “No. The only thing I regret is failing my entrance exams.”

I touched Yuu’s hand on the bed.
He responded by firmly gripping mine, like the strong, reliable guy he was.

...

Here, we see that Yuu lied to his parents about his activities, which strengthens the hypothesis that he was keeping his relationship with Yami a secret from them—though the reason remains a mystery. Additionally, it's interesting that Yuu still regretted failing his entrance exams and that Yami didn’t consider the implications of his statement.

...

Yuu: “You seemed like you were avoiding me back then. And you looked like you were cornered by something…”
Yami: “Hmm? Did I? Maybe you were just imagining it because we couldn’t see each other much.”
Yuu: “No, I’m serious. I thought it might be something to do with your family…”

His touch was ticklish, soothing, heartwarming—and a little bittersweet.

Yami: “Oh, it’s fine now. Everything’s sorted out.”
Yuu: “Really? Don’t lie to me, okay?”

Don’t say things like that while holding my hand.
It makes me want to ruin the mood by kissing you senseless.
The vibe is so perfect, yet it makes me want to melt into you all over again…

Yami: “…I’ve never lied to you, Yuu.”
Yuu: “You lie all the time.”
Yami: “Fair enough.”

But this time, Yuu, I’m not lying.
Everything really is fine now.

...

Here, we see that Yami lies constantly, and Yuu is aware of it. This is an obvious red flag.

...

But there’s no way I’m letting him go.
I entwine my fingers with his, using every last one of them, binding them so tightly it’s hard to tell whose fingers belong to whom.

Because today, tomorrow, and the day after... I just want to stay connected.

Yuu: "We don't have to be on a trip for this... Even back home, we can still do these things."
Yami: "Do you think so?"
Yuu: "Especially now that it’s summer break. If we really try, we can meet every day."
Yami: "You still have makeup classes, though."
Yuu: "Well, yeah, that’s true, but... Even if we can’t meet, we can talk on the phone every day."
Yami: "That’s not enough for me..."
Yuu: "Fine, fine. I’ll figure something out..."

Today, tomorrow, and the day after...
...No, that’s not it. That’s not enough.

Yami: "Hey, Yuu."
Yuu: "Yeah?"

Even imagining the road back, the moment we part, is unbearable.

Yami: "Why don’t we live together?"
Yuu: "......Huh?"

One second, two seconds...

Yuu's blank, dumbfounded face... doesn’t change at all.

It wasn’t an expression of surprise, shock, or anything serious.
It was just vacant, stunned, with no preparation and no hint of possibility.

Yami: "I mean, come on~ I’ll keep you as my boy toy, and we can have a blast living together~ Haha!"
Yuu: "Ah! You’re lying again!"

So I immediately "change course."

Yami: "Well, I guess being a boy toy wouldn’t suit you, huh, Yu? After all, you’re right in the middle of your youthful prime~"
Yuu: "You’re just as much in your prime, Yami-senpai!"

I pull my fingers away from his and playfully poke his nose.
I tease this younger boy who’s so easy to mess with, acting like a carefree, lazy flirt.

This is fine...
No, I’d decided from the start that this is how it would be.
What was I even hesitating for?

Yuu: "By the way, what’s the plan for dinner, Yami-senpai?"
Yami: "Doesn’t matter. We could just spend the whole night holding each other without eating or drinking."
Yuu: "At least order some room service..."
Yami: "Ugh, such a hassle~."
Yuu: "How lazy can you be...?"

No, Yuu.
It’s not laziness.

I just don’t want to waste even a moment of the time I have left.

From the sunset to the twilight...
From light to darkness...

At least for now, Yu, let me have you all to myself.

...

Here, we see that Yami is clearly obsessed with Yuu, which raises another red flag.

Apologies for the lengthy post, but it's a shame that the manga is a shortened, butchered version of the novel. To me, it really seems like publishing both the novel and the manga simultaneously was a mistake.

Thanks for the chapter!

 

[MezcalAgave]

Maybe she lied one too many times? Not sure what else would have them break up

Don't be, it gives more details that the manga misses.

Really agree. The manga leaves out too many details and the chapters are too short.

Aren't these motherfuckers in high school?
