Namaiki na Gal Ane wo Wakaraseru Hanashi - Ch. 21.5 - Ding Dong

You know for some reason I wouldn't mind if Egaki sensei makes a Fanbox of both of them. Takenaka doesn't give off degenerate behavior from what we've seen. Also I know I can't ping BuyVelomobiles so I hope they see this, but I'm surprised they didn't translate the Xmas special art that Egaki sensei posted on Twitter:

Thanks for the translations.

I don't know how I really feel about this. Probably just a nothingburger though.

I've read enough ethically dubious stuff to know where this is going. They aren't gonna study much at all. Too much gaming and reading manga.

せっかく姉と二人きりなのに、「もっこり」 Tシャツは不味いだろ

---

Considering it's just him and Aneki, wearing a "Mokkori" T-shirt is a bad idea, don't you think?

A "Mokkori" T-shirt likely refers to a shirt with the word "もっこり" (mokkori) printed on it. In Japanese slang, "mokkori" is a playful term that typically refers to a noticeable bulge in men's pants, often used in a humorous or slightly risqué context. It's a word that gained some recognition through Japanese pop culture, including comedic anime or manga.

望月のインパクト強くて忘れてたけどやっぱ姉可愛いな...

---

Mochizuki's impact was so strong I forgot, but yeah, Aneki really is cute...

---

久しぶりの姉ッエッドッ

---

It's been a while since an Aneki episode!

---

は? 可愛いだろ

---

Huh? She's cute, isn't she?

---

なんなんだそのシティーハンター展にしか売ってなさそうなTシャツ

---

What’s up with that T-shirt that looks like it’s only sold at a City Hunter exhibition?

City Hunter is a classic manga with an anime adaptation. Although I haven't read the manga or watched the anime, I understand that the main character, Ryo Saeba, frequently uses the word "Mokkori."

I seriously doubt they would make an anime of it nowadays...

---

シスコン目線じゃなくて、一般的視点でめちゃくちゃ可愛いんか

---

Not from a siscon perspective, but from a general point of view, she's really cute, huh?

---

この後めちゃくちゃセッ... 展開は無いですか?

---

Isn't there going to be an incredibly... intimate development after this?

---

1話から考えると、随分話の印象変わったなー...

---

Considering from episode 1, the impression of the story has really changed, huh?

---

そんなにお互いひとりごと言う?

---

Do they really talk to themselves that much?

---

友達の初対面の美人ギャル姉に
もっこりTシャツであの応対出来るの
どんなメンタルしてんだよw

---

What kind of mentality do you need to handle meeting your friend's beautiful, fashionable Aneki for the first time while wearing a "Mokkori" T-shirt like that? lol.

---

この2人付き合ったら上手く行きそう

---

If these two started dating, it seems like it would go well.

---

年上に抱く感想が「生意気」...??

---

he impression you have of someone older is "cheeky"...??

---

どんなシャツ着てんだよ

---

What kind of shirt are you wearing?

---

SUSHI にもっこりT、変なTシャツコレクターなのかな

---

A "SUSHI" shirt and a "Mokkori" T-shirt? Are you some kind of weird T-shirt collector?

---

それぞれお似合いでいいんじゃないですか♡

---

They each suit you well, don't they? ♡

---

後の冴羽了か。

---

So, the future Ryo Saeba, huh?

---

アプリのトップバナーになってて進捗率デカデカ出てて笑っちゃったよ
将来結婚してそうな2人だな

---

It was on the app's top banner with the progress rate displayed so big, I couldn’t help but laugh.
They really seem like a couple that will get married in the future.

I couldn't put my finger on it but the conversation flows better in this TL.

I don't know how I really feel about this. Probably just a nothingburger though.

Honestly he at least is straight up and treats her a lot better than any of the villains so it wouldn't be too bad. I'd prefer him in the main timeline making sure he's not taking advantage of her if anything did happen?

I am still rooting for oniichan though.

Gyaru x Nerd, Broke.

Autistic Siscon x Landmine Girl, Woke.

 

[darkblade210]

Best couple

If this helps avert the Incest GF route, sure, go ahead, I don't mind.

After I read it I like to play the "flip game" where I go back and forth between browser tabs. That really brings out the differences.

I really don't get the vibe from this version of the story that the bro has romantic feelings for the sister. It seems limited to platonic feelings of admiration and respect, wanting to get her to go back to the sister she used to be and the one who helped him when he was younger (Chapter 14, page 5, top panel). From a certain point of view it could be him repaying the favor for how she supported him during whatever that was in the flashback.

Speculation says it could even be related to "the incident" that caused her to go full delinquent/gyaru. We see in the flashback just barely that she has the downward lines on her face indicating sorrow/stress (I doubt it's just shadows because you could use a solid color for that) so Tanuki's past trauma and hers might be related. Speaking of which, Tanuki is a pretty broken character himself. Other than the friend he doesn't really interact with anyone else and even starts to disassociate when people in the class start talking about him behind his back before the friend dives in to save him (this also implies the friend knows Tanuki has issues as well and comes to his rescue, further evidence that he's best boy).

I don't know why I'm getting so invested in this story given the history behind it but Egaki somehow has me hooked for the time being. Just don't fuck it up.

 

[slackingaround]

I don't know how i feel about this potential route honestly. I don't mind incest ending, since it's implied that both the MC and FMC isn't real sibling, wich is could be that they doesn't related by blood or that she's his cousin or something, wich is permissible by law. The incest route is arguably the most common one so far in this type of story. That being said, a lot of people here seems to root for the friend, and honestly i couldn't for the time being. I know he's nice and all, but i generally doesn't like overly bubbly characters like that. Plus i always hate the tropes when they make the bubbly positive characters win over the more competent one, and usually the bubbly characters always come out as floppy, wich is quite cute when its a girl but as a man? I didn't see the appeal of that. Honestly if i want a FMC end up with someone, it would be the good and dependable type wich i couldn't see in both the friend who's overly bubbly it's kinda annoying to me, and the MC who seems to have some personal problem at the moments. All and all, by how the story so far, i could only see the friends as more of a comic relief so i couldn't root for him right now. If she would be end up with the friend, i hope the author make some development for the friend, make him more dependable or show us more of his good side, and then i think i could root for him. anyway, that's my opinion at least.





Ps: i also feel it's unfair that the MC got to do all the work only to have the FMC end up with the friend at the end, it just sucks. I know that the friend is the one who inspire the MC and a good guy and it's better than the other version yada yada..... I just felt that the friend is not significant enough as a character to get the FMC. As far as the story goes, i only see him as a comic relief devoid of any interesting characteristic, so if he going to be the end game, i hope egaki sensei do something about it. At least give him some character development or make him more prominent character. But as for now, i couldn't root for him.

I agree, this series is now only readable because Egaki had to rein in a lot of vagueness of motivations and blending of the porn version in the main story. I'm more rooting for Onii-chan in the fanbox

 

[MrTurtleMan]

Bro should go with the new girl and leave his sister for the friend

If this helps avert the Incest GF route, sure, go ahead, I don't mind.

stepsister so not incest

It's not implied, it's outright stated in chapter 1 they aren't blood related

 

[Takuma_Aki]

stepsister so not incest

Ah, you're right. I totally forgot they're just cousins. Then full speed ahead

 

[Xtrmis]

Nooooo best friend - Kun not the Friend's sister route

 

[luigiymario2]

Lucky bastard, don't abuse of your best friend's stepsister, please!

 

[ezzhead]

Ah, you're right. I totally forgot they're just cousins. Then full speed ahead

Cousins are blood related though... Is this a region thing? Does cousin mean other things in other countries?

 

[Takuma_Aki]

Well, yes, but mostly when people talk about blood relate here, what they have in mid is more often than not about closely related to the point you'll have issue from inbreeding.

Well, it hasn't been revealed at this point yet how closely related they are and what I had in mind was second or third cousin.

Spoiler: The reveal that come later

But, turns out they're first cousin, so...
