Thanks to all who cast their votes on whether we should release half chapters or full chapters. Based on these votes, I've decided to upload half chapters of this manga.

Big thanks to our Cleaner & Redrawer, o0mayuri0o, whose speedy work allows us to upload chapters faster. Yay!

On the negative, she doesn't remember people's faces. On the positive, her face is also mostly unknown.

A series of numbers is easier for her to remember than faces. I wonder where on the spectrum she is.

"Is it too much to expect you to greet others properly?"
Yes. Yes it is.

Lana is neat. Mostly. A bit of a weirdo.

Nothing wrong with pigtails. Fashion is overrated, pretty much by definition.

"It seems unlikely anyone will come here."
Lock is open. I think the WN and LN differs here. In the other version, she flies over the fence.

I don't think people are going to get confused about British vs American English. Much, anyway. I usually get more confused about which spelling or term belongs to which part...

Damn she's already perfect with her rustic twin braids, why do you have to do this Colette? 😭
Oh well, ponytails are not that bad I guess.

Not sure but I don't think you need to be on the Autism spectrum to have Prosopagnosia.

Do the Brits really call lunch “dinner”? Is dinner over there just supper? I always thought dinner and supper were used interchangeably

Your question prompted me to look into it, and it turns out that I was partially mistaken when I wrote this:

From Victorian times to the present day, this is true only for the British working class, particularly in the North. The upper class, regardless of what region they are from, would never call their mid-day meal "dinner." Sorry for this mistake. I am but a lowly peasant who knows nothing of the ways of the wealthy. :cry:

To answer your question, modern working class Brits in the northern regions really do call their mid-day meal "dinner." Their early evening meal is called "tea." It's just a light meal, such as a sandwich. Before bed, they may have another snack called "supper."

In modern times, Southern working-class Brits and posh Brits from anywhere call their mid-day meal lunch (or luncheon if they want to be fancy), which is light. Their evening meal is called "dinner," which is a heavy meal. For posh people, this may consist of several courses. If that isn't enough, they may have "supper" before bedtime.

Generally, "dinner" is what the heaviest meal of the day is called, regardless of where you're from. In most of the U.S., "lunch" is the mid-day meal, and "dinner" is the evening meal. In certain regions of the Southern states, the mid-day meal is "dinner," and the evening meal is "supper."

Anyhow, I've deleted the above highlighted sentence from my scanlation notes, and I corrected the first panel of page 15 to refer to the meal the students were having as "luncheon."

Thanks for the clarification. It’s funny how many words English can invent to refer to the same thing :D
