Skip and Loafer - Ch. 67 - Gritty Memories

[JKTV]

so im guessing at first this older dude was like an escape for him, better to be with a sketchy criwd than his mother
how sad, my poor boy

Ganbare, Shima Sousuke. At least you are starting to really deal with your past so you can really move forward.

 

[Gem-Bug]

Poor Shima

Mitsumi looks older in a lot of frames?

Thanks for the upload

 

[keatsta]

Ah, another piece of the Shima puzzle has been revealed... It's tough when this sort of trauma is only step one in a causal chain of a dozen bad decisions and unfortunate outcomes. Sometimes you can't get closure for everything and you just gotta get functional in the day-to-day.

Also now I wanna eat an apple...

I have had experiences where my mother's actions have restricted my opportunities and later blaming those failures on a lack of effort on my part. IDK if I had a better ending because my mother made a half-hearted apology saying that she feels sad that I didn't feel like I was supported. It's not that she didn't support me. It's still my fault.

 

[jonnywarlock]

Shima.

 

[Purplelibraryguy]

As brilliant as Mitsumi is, there's just some part of his life she can't touch...

Well, yes and no. I think it's her near-complete sunniness that makes him feel better . . . she's, like, a walking safe space, a well of reassurance that things can be good.

 

[Kushikime]

Thanks for the chapter

Shima is the realest character in the whole manga, finally the plot is moving around.

 

[Knighto]

So Shima was getting rejections because none in the cast wanted to have her Karen-ass mom around. It checks out to be honest and yet again It justifies how Ririka went for her throat after seen her on the other school festival.
Poor lad thou, she treated him like shit and yet he still feels bad for her mom

because in the end we can't hate our parents. We can be mad but they're a part so important of our lives we can't separate.

I have had experiences where my mother's actions have restricted my opportunities and later blaming those failures on a lack of effort on my part. IDK if I had a better ending because my mother made a half-hearted apology saying that she feels sad that I didn't feel like I was supported. It's not that she didn't support me. It's still my fault.

That's still better than nothing, have a similar experience and haven't had the chance to even get the apology it turns into her own problems from childhood (which was bad, it really was), but messing with your kids life is still a bummer. I hope you're feeling alright and it's great that even with getting the half hearted apology you know you're not the one at fault.

I really love how real all of these characters feels like. I feel Shima and how difficult it is to express yourself to your friend. I hope that Skip & Loafer can inspire more slice of life to treat trauma this way. Cant wait for the next chapter, thank you for translating !!

The way the “First Love” poem was so elegantly and effortlessly written into the story, this is literature. 😊

 

[skywardgem]

the First Love page had me laughing only for the flashback pages to kick me in the shins but, you know.... Sosuke's got some good people in his life these days, huh? It's a joy seeing him slowly be more open, and I just know this next school festival is really gonna Hit lol

thanks for the chapter!!

 

[meagrelion]

Before: Wow, what a cute cover page with little Mitsumi, and Shima. I wonder what this chapter is going to be about?

After:

 

[telefonevoador]

Kanechika is GOD level

 

[telefonevoador]

Reminded me of that Birdtalker song

If you're lost and you're lonely
Go and figure out why
Take a trip to your darkside
Go on and have a good cry
'Cause we're all lonely
Yeah, we're all lonely
Together

 

[Huiiii]

Bawling my eyes out
