This chapter just sent me back into time when I learned my classmate in hs was wearing the glasses, but with no glass, and yet was wearing contacts just because it looks good. I'm still flabbergasted that what was the point of her wearing contact lenses if she was still going to use glasses, should just wear her prescribed glasses (the frame for that one was the one she was wearing), and etc.


Thanks for the chapter translation and for the hard work! Really appreciate it!

The last comment about glasses from Taishou: A non-prescription glasses/glasses for show is called "datemegane" (sunglasses is also technically considered one of this).

This one is probably actually derived from Date Masamune, though indirectly. Date Masamune did some rather flashy antics in his life, and so people coined the term datemono/datesha to refer to a showy/flashy person. And then from there a "glasses just for show" that doesn't really serve a prescriptive function is referred to as a "datemegane".

Fasshion is always just a fickle thing.

Also, I'm guessing that she probably was trying to get used to contacts, or just wanted the look of glasses without the hassle of them. Glasses are a hassle that you just learn to live with. That's coming from someone who loves wearing their glasses.

Some post the glasses copy pasta.

Glasses are really versatile. First, you can have glasses-wearing girls take them off and suddenly become beautiful, or have girls wearing glasses flashing those cute grins, or have girls stealing the protagonist's glasses and putting them on like, "Haha, got your glasses!" That's just way too cute! Also, boys with glasses! I really like when their glasses have that suspicious looking gleam, and it's amazing how it can look really cool or just be a joke. I really like how it can fulfill all those abstract needs. Being able to switch up the styles and colors of glasses based on your mood is a lot of fun too! It's actually so much fun! You have those half rim glasses, or the thick frame glasses, everything! It's like you're enjoying all these kinds of glasses at a buffet. I really want Shinobu to try some on or Gernot to try some on to replace his monocle. We really need glasses to become a thing in Aitheria and start selling them for Comiket. Don't. You. Think. We. Really. Need. To. Officially. Give. Everyone. Glasses?

Four-Winged Lion needs to up their luxury feel. Rich people need to feel more rich than they actually are when they go there. They'd become regulars at some point.

I guess that's fine for branding purposes.

From a public health standpoint, I imagine another way to go about it would be free public clinics to show the effects of improved vision on everyone to at least make them understand the QoL improvement, using that to create demand.
