NEVER PLAY IT THE WAY THEY PLAY! ALWAYS WEAR FULL FACIAL PROTECTION (Or protective glasses if you want to show your face) LEAST YOU WANT A STRAY BB TO RUIN YOUR FACE!
Wholesome chapter though~ hopefully the other 2 dudes gets their own love~

The manga seems to have changed the dialogue, and it doesn't really makes sense.
The reason Akari apologises, it's because she mocked Kashima when a friend of her shared a photo of him and Nicoru.
It was the friend who posted the photo in their chat, she just laughed at it.

Ough... And here I tought I've started to like this series more, when appearing characters started to have some backbone to their body. Like, what the hell was this conversation about? That Nicole chick - who the fuck babbles around some random guys that you had sex in 2nd class middle school with some other random guy that apparently noone even knows... And if that wasn't enough, she doesn't fucking care about that, but out of nowhere she's all shy because they kissed XD C'mon girl, I think you have your priorities wrong.
And these 2 other "friends" of MC? Only reminded me how really glad I am, that MC developed as character, because if he was still like them... I'd drop this months ago.
After discussion about this series with other people I think I'm starting to understand why many were so thrown off by Kimizero. On one hand you have actually pretty good main character development, but the way it's served is so naive and flustrating... You can see author has really good intentions building those characters, but the way she does it... She literally pick EVERY SINGLE WORST POSSIBLE trope there is. Situations, side characters, all those misunderstandings, how cliché behaviours of characters are... It's so annoying reading this...
Looks like we don't have any "main" story going on rn, but somehow I know deeply, that one of Luna's EXes is luring below these murky waters... He's only waiting to bring another load of annoying bullshit... And I don't know if I'd be able to handle that crap.

EDIT: Gal friend part is somehow cursed either by manga author or TL. Apparently her priorities aren't that twisted.

Pretty sure "it" is kissing lol, like it seems like that sentence was split between the two pages to make it seem like she's saying it was serious cuz they had sex within those two weeks, but then it turns out she was saying it was cuz they kissed within those two weeks. But that doesn't work that well in English cuz the sentence structure wouldn't put the verb "kissed" at the very end of the sentence, so the translation makes it sound like they're two separate sentences.

I feel that feel, Akari; having so many things you're into you find new things that are cool but are like "I don't have the time/money to get into that."

I've actually grabbed LN just to read this part, because I couldn't believe what I was reading.
And you're right. In LN she said something like "We did it, until the kiss" or simply "We did it, kiss I mean". It seems that either japanese part in manga or translation was fucked up. Because how can you interpret phrase "We've done it, we've even kissed". That "even" literally makes kissing and "it" two different activities, in a way, elevating kissing part over "it". And we know what this other activity possibly is.

Thanks for the sl!

Thought so! Anyone from GD Scans if you're here, pls change it to avoid future confusion! What was supposed to be a cute joke about how Nicole turns out to be way more pure than she seems is kinda lost on most readers otherwise

+1 to this as an ex-airsoft player too.
I once had a BB lodged in the back of my neck because some motherfucker shot me point blank instead of using CQB "bang bang" rules.

Ngl this chapter pained me as an airsoft player and ex airsoft referee lol

I was thinking the same thing the whole chapter. At first, I was glad that they made them wear long sleeves and such, but on the next page, no one is wearing any face protection 🤦‍♂️

The artist could have just drawn them transparent to show faces, but at least make an outline to tell people they are there.

No idea how it went in LN, but, you can interpret it as not wanting to mention that she mocked him to his face and just apologizing for causing a misunderstanding with Runa.

I was kinda expecting her to talk about a photo of Kashima with Maria (we still weren't told who snapped the photo, were we?).

I wonder if Yuna is the short girl we've seen talking with Runa and Nicole at the end of Chapter 5.

hell, we had in one game guys from other region, who came with illegaly moded airsoft guns, and managed to shoot two people in faces point blank withing 2 minutes and only within 20-ish minutes since the game started, had to stop the game, recheck all guns for being legal and in the end because of whole team and the biggest out of seven playing being disqualified the game was shut down completely. heck any injuries on games lead to an at leas a hault

No attention at all was given to face protection, but he made a fuss over her buttons... So it's not like the author forgot about the concept of airsoft safety, they just either didn't even look check how an airsoft player looks or they didn't give a shit (probably the second one tho)

Btw I think Ijichi might be more wide than tall. Bro looks like he's cosplaying a beach ball.

I choose to believe that Nicole's middle school ex-boyfriend was Cid from Eminence in Shadow.
