Thanks for the translations! They were nice and easy to read!

Any chance you'd be willing to redo the first chapter?

I'm no girl so, can girls really just colapse like that from her period?
If so, jeez, once a month?
no, it's really not that bad. very rarely did it ever bother any of my 3 sisters enough for them to complain, let alone colapse. but this is romance manga so any malidy = debilitating because otherwise it doesn't serve its frankly asinine and overused purpose as a narrative device.

also hope he doesn't fall in love with the idol hopefully
Normally when I'm reading a Harem manga, I kinda just pick best-girl on a whim. This time I'm hoping he doesn't end up with these girls, which is a first for me.

Why does his face in the end look like the mc in Konjo girlfriend (I think that's the name)

Unfortunately it's not that, it's not an excuse, I wish it was, but it's not: it's a sign of abusive experience. I've been there, with the same opinion as you when I was younger, until I started reading on the subject, on how people process trauma, because I had friends going through it, and it was confusing to see such dissociation.

Bruh, I'm sure some have that experience. Some just like trashy escape fantasy. It's not like me and other men are reading this manga to cope with a breakup or because we feel lost in the world. It's because the last story was a raging trash fire with really good art and plenty of sex. It was appealing at its most base level.

It's good to give other perspectives, but it's always dangerous once we pretend that EVERY [insert demographic here] does X because Y experience.

Setting still feels too forced. They trusted him, a stranger, so easily. Either that, or the pacing is just wacked.

He was a nice stranger down on his luck and made them good food. Being a good cook as a male is a cheat code in life, never forget.

I'm sure the landlord felt bad too because this was her mistake not vetting the tenant properly. That's a lot of paper work to just cancel because of someone gender. These aren't a bunch of traumatized women who can't set foot near a man and it's really not that huge an issue to co-habitate (well except Mio. But even she relented. Remember, cooking is a cheat code for a male. Learn to cook if you really feel you have no passions and hobbies).

The author's previous work - Domestic na Kanojo - was my love guidebook. Thanks to it, I managed to seal the deal with my first girlfriend, not to mention live alone together with her for a whole year. And it seems this work also taught a few guys for the first time about women's periods.

Kei Sasuga's next work, Tokyo RIP is coming soon. I'm excited.

I'm surprised a woman wrote this considering how pathetic the MC is right now. Especially with the "not all men" response he gave instead of showing empathy for Mio. Dude acted like a nervous wreck just buying pads, even the other guys feel embarrassed for him.

One thing I do appreciate about this is that the MC isn't a COMPLETELY blank slate. He does have a dream, plans, a life previous to this manga outside of just "childhood friend". He is an actual character, and there's a reason they like him (amazing cook). It actually feels like he contributes to the group dynamic in a way, rather than constantly being the center of it. He isn't "just an average guy"

Damn, I know my girlfriend feels awful during her periods but fainting from a heavy one? Sheesh, that's torture.
