Sasaki to Miyano - Vol. 11 Ch. 53 - The End of the Cultural Festival (Part 1)

Omg more Hanzawa lore, my favourite treat....... Okay, while it doesn't justify his homophobic behaviour in earlier SasaMyaa/HiraKagi in my opinion (it's not like domestic violence doesn't happen all the time in straight/wlw/other relationships too), I definitely understand his reasoning better now. Witnessing something like that firsthand as a kid must be traumatizing and can surely change your worldview pretty drastically. This context also explains why he was so worried in Hirano to Kagiura chapter 31, their fight must've taken him right back to that memory...
Also has it been brought up that Ogasawara's brother is gay/bi before?? I was surprised to hear he was involved in all that, but I might've just forgotten about that detail if it was ever mentioned.

Anyway, I'm glad Masaomi has been able to move on from it, he seems so sweet and kind. And I'm glad Hanzawa has been able to set his fears and prejudice aside as well, warms my heart how openly he supports Sasaki and Myaa-chan :') <3

Besides the angst very cute chapter, I always love when the guys just hang out together in a big group like this. Poor Ogasawara always going through it for no reason lmao. And what IS on Sasaki's mind???? I need to know!!!!

Thank you for the translation!!

Daaamn good translation work for, what? Overnight?
Couple lines went a direction I wouldn't have gone in and one of two minor errors, but nothing that matters, I suppose.
The Hanzawa/Miyano flashback is a bit wonky, but it's got a translation out there.

And what IS on Sasaki's mind???? I need to know!!!!

Niibashi is pinging his gaydar, as Niibashi clearly fighting a crush on Miyano.
I was weirded out how intensely he thought about gayness, and refusing to believe someone could be comfortably out of the closet. Then I was like "oh. What if it's internalised." Then I started to notice looks at Miyano increasing in frequency and tension.
Doubt he's figured it out himself.
Not really.

I am gonna guess that his family is homophobic, and he is scared shitless about homophobia.
Edit: in 202X in Japan.
So it's very and slightly silly, respectively.

I love the casual PDA these two have.
I love that Miyano was kinda surprised that Sasaki thought he would care if people know.

My guess is it was a "Aw. ...but everyone knows I love gay shit already.
...Geez, just kiss me again, in this aquarium."

To be fair, Sasaki is friends with Ogasawara and his classmates were about to start gossiping about them, until Hirano stepped in with "This shit isn't y'all's issue!"*, so I get it a bit.

*doing a soft coning-out, himself. Him being kinda anxious about people knowing, and very uncomfortable talking about his love life in general makes that a really caring moment.


Random thought: what if Sasaki's friend Sora is a BL artist.

That was a crazy fast translation, absolute legend🙌
Thank you very much!!!!!!!!

I've seen people say he might be a cosplayer.
He was worried about being recognised at a BL event, he knew of some artists.
I don't fully get why Miyano recognised his hand, of all things.
My thoughts atm is he has watched some drawing streams by him

thank you for the feedback! i'm not actually fluent in japanese, but i think i have enough knowledge and a good enough translator to be fine. your comment lets me know i'm at least passing ;^^

i think i know exactly which parts you're referring to lol. honestly, my scans are meant to just be temporary until the regular team does theirs. i intend to take them down eventually. thanks for reading anyway.

Hay, if you're not at a level you would call fluent, then I'm more impressed!

The areas in question are really hard to translate
