Shita Kanda Toki to Daitai Issho - Ch. 4

Well jesus, I hope you're okay at least.



This chapter was as emotional as ever, though. Shutoo Sena is a great character, and the obvious love and care she still has for Tooru-sensei shines through even in her "dismissal" of her. Hiro is a master of expression work, and it's once again a force of storytelling.

I hope Tooru continues clawing her way forward. Not often I find myself rooting this hard for someone in a story, this early in.



Thanks for the TL.

Time to instal some bear traps around the house, glad you're fine that can be really scary so I hope he gets caught or at least break a bone or two.
26yo! wow!
"for something like this?" hmmm is not just one comment is the accumulation of comments over the years, wish we could forget and move on but they just pile up and start rotting, even polluting the good ones.

Sensei's at that part of her mental health struggle where she's beating herself up for not getting better and just trying to brute force through it. Pages of black spirals just trying to draw something and throwing herself up a mountain to the point of complete exhaustion. Also explicit confirmation that body image issues are at least part of her troubles, not that it was too hard to spot in previous chapters. This is rough to watch, I really feel for her.

I couldn't put together why she bought the tamagotchi phone until this chapter, but it was probably to get away from the online criticism. Her reaction on page 33, grunting in disgust, punching the bag, and bracing herself before checking the message, must be leftover reflexes from being stuck in social media hell. Twitter comments were killing her, but she couldn't stop herself from obsessing over them.

I'm a creative, and I've effectively stopped posting online in a professional capacity for this reason. Even if the majority of what you receive is affirming, positive, or even just benignly vapid...if you're sensitive at all to unconstructive criticism, that will eat you alive the longer you spend in the public eye. And there's a definite trap in spiraling and chasing the hate--similar mindset to "doom scrolling", in that compulsion to seek out the negative first & foremost--so cutting yourself off entirely, including even the ability to, is sometimes the only solution.

I feel for Tooru in a deep way.

I can feel the raw emotions told through the artist's talents.
Simply beautiful.
Thanks for the translation and looking forward to the next chapter!

Oh god, hope you are alright! Did you take back what the thief stole?

Oh my word, this art is just sublime

I'm a few days behind, but awesome that this came out almost the same time as the latest Akebi chapter. I guess Hiro is working on them pretty simultaneously.
