Koori no Jouheki (Book Version) - Vol. 6 Ch. 52 - Junior High School

[Friendly-Sentence710]

This series has just been licensed by MangaPlaza!
Normally, this wouldn’t mean anything for us, however, they have also batch released all the way up to chapter 80.
While we are quite torn about it, unfortunately, this does mean we are calling it off here.

I am disappointed but completely understand.
Wish it was a... manga site that wasn't complete dookie. I guess time to wait for the dumped chapters to wash up on the shores.

Anyone who's read the end mind dropping spoilers?

Thank you and boson so much for your work translating the series thus far. Your hard work introduced many, including myself, to the series and I'm happy to support the author and their amazing series through legal means now.

Side note: I wish it wasn't Mangaplaza that got the license, the points system sucks. If I didn't love this series so much...

Spoilers for the end (only guessing from raw content, didn't understand it):

Spoiler: ending spoilers

Minato and Koyun eventually start dating after he dates that cutesy black-haired girl for awhile. Miki and Yota also get together. Koyun has a nice heart to heart with her mother. The ending is a bookend of the opening chapter with Minato and Koyun at school. Seemed very cute.

I'm both happy and sad
Happy it finally gets picked up for English
Sad it'll taka years to catch up
I doubt my country is gonna pick this up 🥲

Dammit, they only offer the first 48 or so chapters for free right now (it looks like the first dozen or so are permanently free, the rest of them are only free until the end of April) and everything else is either pay-to-unlock or uses some sort of point system that they don't really seem to explain except that they have a promotion to get points for leaving reviews until the end of this month. Only you get just 10 points for a review of a series (not chapter) to a maximum of 500 points (50 reviews, which would honestly be kinda nuts to do since they are apparently checking for cheaty reviews that are overly brief or repetitive) and chapters of this require 89 points to unlock a chapter. So... quick math is that even if you could post 50 reviews and get the maximum benefit you'd only get maybe 6 added chapters to read, and reading everything in between where this TL is stopping and where mangaplaza has uploaded to would require almost 3000 points. And by money it's 89 cents US to read each chapter, so close to $30 to catch up.

I was hoping that this would be one of those "you can read all the fresh releases right now and then after that you could only read the most recent chapter or two without paying" setups like KManga and Viz and MangaUp have done. Instead the batch release seems designed to catch people in the trap of being unable to continue on with a series they may have been reading on a pirate site like MD.

EDIT: and just to make it sillier, I got a "your device is not supported" message that lets me look at what their requirements are (lol at a manga website having system requirements) and apparently they're only designed to function on Safari or Chrome as a browser. Imagine optimizing for just one browser per system type in 2026...

Reading reviews on that website hits different when you know people are getting “paid” to post them lmao

Hey everyone!
This series has just been licensed by MangaPlaza!
Normally, this wouldn’t mean anything for us, however, they have also batch released all the way up to chapter 80.
While we are quite torn about it, unfortunately, this does mean we are calling it off here. Ultimately, the goal we have when scanlating series is to bring attention to it and offer readers a way to read in English when it’s not otherwise possible. Neither of these are still needed now, and continuing doesn’t really sit right with us.
We hope you enjoy reading the next 28 chapters that are already out there much faster than we could ever have brought them to you, and please support the official release if you can!
Agasawa-sensei deserves all the love in the world. And look forward to the anime coming out next month! We can’t wait, and will likely be hosting a groupwatch in our discord server.
Thanks for reading with us until here, and thank you as well to No Time To Scanlate for doing the heavy lifting up to when we picked up.
We’ll see you in the next series, hopefully soon!

Thank you for the scanlations till now!!
But doesn't seem like MP has free chapters beyond 43. Would you guys considering releasing more scanlations here??

No. We do not scanlate to offer free chapters, we scanlate to bring series and chapters otherwise unreadable in English to readers. The chapters are now available to English readers, and our efforts are better spent bringing other series that do not have translations to people.
You can either pay for the chapters, or pirate them from the new platform (they've already all been dumped). Which avenue to take is really yours to decide, and I do not have a moral high ground as a scanlator to tell you which you should do.
