Wouldn't Nee-san also be a pun due to its similarity to "elder sister" or "elder comrade"? But anyway, at my age, it's funny to hear 15-year-olds say they're not kids anymore. Especially with such a realistically youthful appearance. I'm too old for this lmao.

Indeed, I think that's intuitive, though.

Also, Ami is a third-year, but yeah.

A few years older, yes, but I'm still old enough to be her father, yes.

I must say the author improved after these seven volumes, no wonder the anime looked different if we compare it with the first volume. It's improbable but I wish we could watch the second season in the future.

Thanks for the chapter! Poor Megumo

Interesting enough, there actually is a timeline for this series and it's not just a weird, ambiguous floating one. It starts in 2018 (when the manga did) and ends in 2020 with the epilogue final chapter being in 2023.

One minor nitpick, I believe that "Jino" is actually Jinno. But I don't know if that's just a case of one or the other when it comes to Japanese (like actually putting two O's in Midoriko's family name or just writing the accent over the O to indicate the sound), I've just always seen it with two N's.

It's not like the art was bad before or anything but he definitely did move away a bit from the more moe style of the first volume or so without ever really losing the skill or detail. The insane thing is that the quality of the art never drops which is usually expected as a weekly goes. It was also rare for him to miss a week too because he worked with a buffer of about 3 or 4 weeks.

You're right, sorry! I've fixed it.

Oh, of course, I was referring mostly to the face composition, sometimes I found it too rough with all the sweat and lines to see the face, but not meaning they were bad at it. Of course, weekly series have to deal with quality, but I suppose the author had a clear picture of what they wanted to do so they could only improve. I simply realised that as the series went everything was better defined, and for instance this last chapter had a lot of detail to appreaciate that.

He apparently was an assistant of Shuzo Oshimi (or maybe it was the other way around? I've seen it said both ways) and I think you can definitely see Oshimi's influence on his art early on, especially in, of all things, the way hair is drawn and rendered.
