Man this hurts my soul to read. Poor Haruka but I'm also deeply saddened that she thought Kazuma would disregard her after she turned into a girl.

Thanks for the TL!

 

[Lobo]

Oof, this one hits really hard. Thanks for the translation!

In genderswap stories they really never go through this where the others ostracize you since they tend to normalize or accept it quicker. I will admit I am surprised about the senpai but she went with if you love somebody you let them go, but I was hoping she would chase and show up now

 

[NhifanHafizh]

I just want to know how will this all ended :'

I kind of knew this couldn't go too well since it is a flashback arc, but Haruka definitely seemed to be doing quite well for herself in this chapter. The casual sitting in bed naked and chatting after doing the deed seemed like she was in a good place. She was all set to be well adjusted and accepting of herself. And that was breaking my immersion because this didn't mesh well with the sort of hot mess she becomes...

But it all came crashing down because her lover wanted to make her keep a promise to meet up with an old friend once? Wtf? There's no need to turn it into a bad breakup + marry someone else just to force this situation. Just take a weekend trip to Tokyo.

It was less that and more that she was silently struggling for a long time and didn’t realize she was closing herself off to her partner. Her ex felt jealous and, like humans do, made an emotional decision to end things so that she could overcome her issues since she knew if she stayed she’d be stuck in a small town where everything was tearing at her in two directions instead of having the space to grow and find her new self.

That was the core of the issue, she underwent a MASSIVE change but was trapped by everyone’s expectations and preconceptions, even her own.

Was it the right choice or the right way to go about it? Maybe, maybe not. But it was an extremely Human thing to do.

Hey is Asako good? It’s been staring at me from my “plan to read” list for a while now.

I like it a lot. It's well written, the author really manages to have the characters act their age, and all seem very realistic and natural to me. They are imperfect, sometimes annoying, sometimes weird, and for most of them a bit lost. It's a very adult manga, but to me not unnecessarily edgy.

 

[Hikineet]

Thanks for the chapter.

 

[euro_r]

Feels like the story could just end here...

 

[GamKHT]

Beautiful chapter, thanks for the translation

 

[Seykoya_]

man, what a fucking panel, the metaphorical and literal shattering of their own understanding of who they really are as a person derived from the hopelessly real and illogical emotional decisions made by teenagers struggling to actualize. You know this line is coming, the author foreshadows it so early, but it still hits like a truck.

 

[CMOT]

I wasn't expecting a relationship in the flashback, just a lot of hurt. Doesn't seem like this made it any less painful for Haruka, but at least there's a little light to look back to. Also adds a lot of room for growth.

This gets better and better each chapter.
But damn
The upload time is abysmal

 

[yuriloveisthebestlove]

i assume it's a one person doing all the translations and typesetting. if so thank you. i hope to see this story eventually translated

 

[tairar]

Just wanna say your usage of I♂ and I♀ was a really elegant way to handle it instead of cramming a bunch of translator notes in the margins, great job

It's more than 50 pages per chapter and they put a lot of effort into both the translation itself and the editing. It's a very non trivial amount of work to put together a scanlation that looks like this.
