Sorry this came out late, it was late when I finished and attempting to translate the extras page. I was planning on uploading it in the morning when I could confirm with my corrector (he was asleep) and I woke up late for work...

Anyway, sorry for being late! Hope ya liked the chapter, looking forward to doing the volume extras at the end of the volume!

Thanks for the translation as always and you don't have to apologize. You're doing this out of love of the series and I will always thank you for doing it!
On to the chapter at hand! I completely understand the note saying this was a tough chapter to work on. The subject matter is a lot to take in. You've got gender issues, love issues, arming and training children soldiers, emotional trauma, and the question of what makes a child & an adult different ALL IN ONE CHAPTER! This chapter is heavy when you dissect it. This whole arc is tremendous when you really try and break down the little details.

Ono is experiencing what I like to call "Oh god I'm Grown" syndrome. Where you reach a milestone of maturity-say, 18 years old, or your first job, or your driver's license or whatever the fuck-and you start thinking of yourself as different categorically from your peers. Her mindset, and ALL of their mindsets, are a part of the poisonous ideology that this society focuses on-the vicious divide between CHILD and ADULT, with no room for adolescence or teens-no transitional period. Literally just "You are a perfect and innocent being that can do no wrong" until suddenly "You are a worthless adult that can only hope for the approval of the actually important members of society".

What I'm saying is, SANTA REVOLUTION BABY!!! YOU HAVE NOTHING TO LOSE BUT YOUR RIBBONS!!
(was that joke too esoteric? going for a "nothing to lose but your chains" thing but santa themed, yknow how it is)

On one hand, in the end, a childs still a child even if your body develops. But I think the idea of this or that kid maturing at different rates- and more heavily, being treated as if you've become more of an adult... thaaats really real. Let alone how gay feelings are treated as more 'adult', too.

Complicated shit told through the lens of Santa Transformations.

Ono is talking about sex, it doesn't have to be related to being an adult or not. I guess nothing is fundamental to being an adult outside of the biological sense, and that may be the point of the manga.
