Oh dear. Please stop. Can we not have this? I feel the fluff slipping away between my fingers already...

 

[bruhidkidc]

PLEASE FUCK OFF I DON'T LIKE INCEST STOP THIS AAAAAHHHH

Losing heroine detected.

Also it's probably not incest guys; from what I understand, Japanese has a few different words that we have no English equivalent for, so they all get translated as "cousin". So there's a decent chance she's not blood related.

I'm praying you're correct

Aight guys, stop being so insensitive. Cousin marriages are common in many parts of the world. Just because you find it weird doesn’t mean that others will.

I think its fine but it'd be more acceptable if it clarified if they were first cousins or not. Although from what the comments have said its likely a mistranslation. So maybe another childhood friend looking-ah

We back on the alabama trip 💔

So first he decides to not come clean - why? Nobody knows - and now "suddenly" a rival appears? That's a drop mate.

 

[HotChocolatte]

For those of us who are holding out hope that they aren't actual cousins:

The original text for the bubble is:
「私たち従姉妹でしょ」
Which, when literally translated, reads:
"We are cousins, right?" (The scanlator's use of ". . . aren't we?" is absolutely appropriate here.)

The key word here is 従姉妹 (いとこ), which is the most cut-and-dried word for blood-related cousins that the language has.
I'd like to emphasize that the translation presented by our dear scanlator (for this particular bubble) is absolutely correct in every conceivable way. Whoever suggested that it may be erroneous hasn't done their homework!




As a small aside, consanguineous (cool word I just learned) marriage is indeed legal in Japan.

 

[JoJoBar]

holy fuck the rollercoaster
"SHE HER GF NOW ??? oh ok it's a pretend relationship to help her. oh wait is she actually crushing on the dude ? OH OK THEY'RE COUSINS- WAIIIIIT NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO"

 

[ninjakai03]

NOT THE COUSIN ROUTE DUDE NOOOOOOOO YOURE FUCKING WITH ME

 

[chototam]

Can we leave the "cousin crush" trope in 2010s, please, I beg😭😭

 

[Friendly-Sentence710]

Sweet home Yokohama....

 

[cosmicsnow]

Never have I ever wished for the main girl to win as much as after reading this chapter...

 

[AdmiralSilver]

Cousin or not, don't care. Secondary love interest gets the sack
