Idk if anyone has been keeping track but I wonder how many "LOL" has been used (so far & expecting more) in this manga's lifespan? Anyways the chapter itself didn't be like the pre-serialization version because that was totally unnecessary & unsettling. I do like that Egaki sensei kept her speech bubbles transforming from black to white since it is a sign of her growth. Let's hope the next few chapters will keep it up. Thanks for the translations.

Firstly, here’s some relevant information:

After being asked about the FANBOX content once again, the author posted an explanation on her FANBOX, clarifying certain points and admitting to others. I've created a post with links and a MTL of the author’s message on the manga's main thread for anyone interested in reading it.

Secondly, regarding the chapter:

Initially, I found it odd that the author decided to retain this line almost intact from the pre-serialization version:

Why is it odd? For three reasons:
  • In chapter 2 of the serialization, for it to make sense that Konno was tricked into going to that 'party,' she would need to be taken to a place she's never been before. So, it's likely the first time they hung out there. It's just odd for him to say that if she's only been there once.

  • In order to have their way with her, he and his partners had to trick her into going to the 'party' and getting her drunk. So it's unlikely that she had any prior experience with them.

  • In the pre-serialization, they banged her, so the line makes sense. But in the serialization, nothing happened. So, what's he on about?
After channeling into the eerie realm of Discord, the entity that inhabits it provided a plausible explanation: this guy's a narcissist, and when she shows up again, he thinks he can smooth talk her, acting like she's already his, despite nothing having happened.

Here are some comments from the Japanese public on the Young Jump app:

別に暴力で脅されてるわけじゃなくてハブられたくないから従ってたのか

It's not that I was threatened with violence; I was just following along because I didn't want to be excluded.

DQNの語彙が少ない上に、会話になってないの地味に笑えるわ

It's kind of funny how the DQN's vocabulary is limited, and the conversation isn't even making sense.
FYI: "DQN" is a slang term in Japanese that refers to a certain type of person often characterized as a delinquent or troublemaker.

良かった~弟のために帰ったげて

I'm glad~ Go back for your brother.

と、いうか部屋に上がったらダメよね

Actually, you shouldn't go into the room, right?

一応返してはくれるんだ

At least they do return it, though.

クソ童貞の為に帰るギャルwww

A gal going back for a damn virgin, lol.

ハンバーグ美味しいからね仕方ないね

The hamburger is delicious, so it can't be helped.

qM5RkqS.png

会話内容があほあほ過ぎて心配になるわ

The conversation is so silly that it's worrying.

部屋に上げればヤレるって考えてる男は4ね

A man who thinks he can get laid just by getting someone into his room should die.

わからせてやったな!

I made you understand!

jHYMcLm.png

これでここまでヤられてないとかは無理があるな。

It's hard to believe that after all this, nothing has happened here.

DQNの解像度低すぎて笑わせてんのかと思う

I wonder if the DQN's low resolution is meant to be funny.

最後の笑顔と吹き出しめっちゃいい

The last smile and speech bubble are really nice!

gSckyC8.png

いいじゃんw
成長したねwお姉ちゃんw

That's good, lol.
You've grown, sis, lol!

ただ普通に帰る! って強めに言えば帰れそうな相手だったんだな...
家族も大事だけど、これからまともなお友達もできるといいね.....

It seems like she could have gone home if she had just said 'I'm going home!' firmly...
Family is important, but I hope you can make some decent friends from now on...

CaaFTgM.png

よし、帰ろう!

Alright, let's go home!

無理やり襲わないとか随分紳士的なDQNだなw

It's quite gentlemanly of a DQN to not force an attack, lol.

この男は不良というか、極狭いコミュニティでそれなりに良いポジションで生きてきた故の思考回路って感じ。
だから言葉も下賊で下心はあっても、明確な罪になるラインを超える度胸はなくこのような対応になるのかと。

This man feels like a delinquent, or rather, someone who has lived in a very narrow community and developed a certain way of thinking because of it.
That's why his words are lowly and he has ulterior motives, but he lacks the guts to cross the line into clear wrongdoing, which leads to this kind of behavior.

Twitterやファンボ版とは違うぜ。それがまたいい

It's different from Twitter and Fanbox versions. That's what makes it good.


Additionally, here are the current like counts of the last 4 chapters:

@Litreara Thanks so much for doing all of that work that most people wouldn't do (I couldn't do it myself because I'm not skillful enough to do it). Now I have a better understanding & perspective of Egaki sensei's work (& fetish) although I don't appreciate her being deceitful. I still wonder how the sales in the volume release will look like since the free stuff online will always get looked at.

Comments-kun spittin.

On a serious note, there’s definitely a story here and like the comment from young jump there’s some interesting characterization to be explored.

I fear though the Egaki won’t be able to keep it in her pants for long though, which would suck because at least this scene shows she can salvage the original into something other than fanbox bait.
