His only issue is putting ‘big’ though. Why he need to put that word. He only like them if they are big?

surely the concept of "sexual innuendo" is known to highschoolers, come on :kek:
Tbf it is in a diff language, tho i'm sure there are like 'oppai' joke and like panties/pantsu jokes too (like a jdrama i watched did some kinda panda pun and one person said "no pan da" (no panties))
Couldn't he just say "My favorite food to eat is melons." He's specifying that he's talking about food, not boobs.
to be fair 'eating' can also be used in a sexual connotation XD; at least he didn't make a fish taco reference
Poor boy he just like melons
She just thinks he wants to honey-dew her 8D;

Aww, even though she thinks he's a perv, she still wants him to avoid misusing the language just in case he's not one. Her efforts may be misguided but her intentions are noble.
That last page, though: I get why a highschooler who likes ESL may be seen as a weirdo, but what's so weird about him liking melons? Is it childish to like them or something? I haven't eaten any myself, so I wouldn't know.
I apologize. I did miss the 一番 part of the 一番好き in the raw. I noticed it was similar to the page in Chapter 1 and immediately just copied the the old translation :notlikethis:. I've added the fixes.

There's a tiny typo on the first page: It says chapter 10 instead of chapter 11. I don't know if if was incorrectly modified of if it's in the raws.

It is completely normal to say "I like melon" in English, typically when referring to the flavor. Just like "I like orange", "I like grape", etc.
Did I say it wasnt normal? I'm simply saying that "I like melons" is just as normal. Though I understand if my comment made it unclear.

nah, americans get offended by the slightest thing, they are a minefield. lots of foreign hiring companies hate hiring Americans these days, cause they complain and refuse to adapt to cultures. everything is ethnocentric to them.

I like sensei's plump and cute cantaloupes (🍈) as well. She's so funny and pretty.

Thank you for the translation (she better keep her promise to that lad...).
