Rental Trash Girlfriend - Ch. 8

Now it's starting to make sense. It was his mother who killed his late wife?

Thats too extreme, she'd be jail if she did.

But i do wonder what this whole "3 month rule" thing is.

I don't think there is a "3 month rule"?

The first I heard of the rule was in Novel Updates close to a decade ago. So it's not something made up.
The rule was that a series needed to have had no releases for 3 months before someone was allowed to post a translation request in the forum.
Many people assume that the rule gives TLs exclusivity over the novel, but that isn't the case. It only stops users from making a post in the forum requesting another group to take over a novel which might still be being worked on. Other groups are still free to translate the novel if they want to.
Despite that, many TLs still do follow the 3 month rule before taking up a novel to translate. It's considered to be polite.


I'm not sure about Mangadex specifically, but I assume they brought over the same customs from NU, as they're all TLs in the end.
