Kimi wa Yotsuba no Clover - Vol. 1 Ch. 2 - A fun morning

[silverpetricof]

The author has outdone themselves so far. I truly am getting invested in this.

Thank you for the translation.

Tbf I had a hard time believing many bullying stories since in my school, even if your traits were of a loser, people wouldn't go out of their way to ridicule you for it.

Until I heard the stories from my sister, that is. She wasn't bullied but her classmates were. She is 7 years younger than me and I couldn't fathom why she was admitted to some random private elementary school (that I didn't think it was even good anyway, which is the whole point of private). Looked like my parents learned though, and admitted her to a public middle school that was considered to be favorite.

Edit: Wait, no. I remembered that I was technically being bullied when I was in elementary school too, lmao. The difference was I actively and aggressively fought back, encouraged by my parents lol. It's fair game as long as I didn't make the first move in their eyes, even if I threw a wooden chair on his face. It was just a single kid, though, known for being a problem kid. It's only "technically" cuz everytime he tried to bully me (and only me for some reason), I fought back so it turned into a bloody fight instead. He eventually being expelled softly from school though. No wonder. Definitely the dullest tool in the shed.

Mother...it's down the road not across the street


If you're gonna do it, do it right and make it count, you manipulative sorry excuse of a mother

 

[kyeihyouk]

tbh hope the manga covered how in the world their family torn apart or it already broken at the start

 

[133monarch]

Even I'm depressed, I have never have guts to try to show to others especially to my family that I was mentally broken.

I will hide it normally.

The good ol' "I don't want you to separate with me, so I'll pressure you by cutting my wrist"

 

[TheBigSAM]

I took one look at her wrist and immidiately knew she is a manipulative bitch. If you wanna show off your blood, do it right next time

 

[dienstagHD]

That girl is honestly a W

 

[Beastkun]

i mean already from from ch 1 and 2 fmc had to have been able to see the future or is from the future obviously enough

but what i really wanna know is why everything changed so badly for mc though what happened after fmc left and why

lots to look forward to

 

[NizumiHD]

The mom's abit overly dramatic, i thought the dad died or something at first, but nope the dad is i guess uncaring? The sister just looks kinda depressed i guess. Like i dont see how the family could have ended up in that situation, if they pull some crazy reason out of their ass for this, i can't say i'll be able to take this manga seriously.

I have just discovered something absolutely golden here. Yotsuba's expressions, both happy and dark, are amazing. It's not often that I come across something that just GRIPS me from the first page. The amount of raw emotion poured into Yotsuba's terrifying anger at the world, and Uichi's hopelessness, dispair, and modicum of sanity in a world that's turned its back on him can be felt in every panel. The short premise on the front page does this no justice, and this being labeled as a Shounen does this manga even less justice.

But it's pieces like this that is the reason why I still dig in the trash heap of Shounen manga. Because when I find a treasure, god damn is it amazing.

cutting across your wrist is just an empty threat.
real ones know that deep cuts along the arteries is how you actually do it
*this is not an advice, please don't cut your wrist

 

[ramoplayz]

the change in appearance whenever she locks in is so good every time

 

[eleven179]

He should really just abandon them

Hard to do when you’ve been mentally manipulated at such a young age. The guilt tripping here is insane, uichi probably genuinely thinks that its his fault the family collapsed and bears that responsibility

 

[shwiftyshfifty]

Bro has it rough.

Sneaked? Is it not snuck? (tho eng isn't my first language, i know there are alternatives like "hanged versus hung" (tho hopefully that won't come up in this series lol) but thanks for the chapter!

...

According Gemini AI:

It’s the classic showdown between "the way it’s always been" and "the way people actually talk." Both are acceptable, but they carry different vibes depending on where you are and who you're talking to.

The Quick Verdict​

• Sneaked is the traditional, "proper" past tense of sneak.
  
  
  
• Snuck is the informal version that has become so common it’s now standard in American English.
