Thanks for the translation.
Not sure I like the focus on yet another character, to be honest.

WHAT is this strict-parents-trope doing in my SKIP AND LOAFER?! My fluffy heart!

 

[clbsaturn]

thanks for translating never would’ve expected an arc on kazakami and especially in conjunction with kanechika but the breadth of depth given to the cast is one of the reasons why i love stl 💕

 

[maxyall]

My childhood in a nutshell. This is why I become an extremely closeted weeb, while maintaining a corporate normie appearance.

Japan may not have a monopoly on shit parenting, but the bell curve there is certainly deformed to that side.

WHAT is this strict-parents-trope doing in my SKIP AND LOAFER?! My fluffy heart!

It's time for another side character arc!

Aww poor Kazakami is going through it and losing it.

 

[my0tis]

Man, that type of environment Kazakami is in can be so suffocating. No room to express yourself or stretch your wings at all, constantly feeling the pressure imposed on you by the will of others.

Seeing Kazakami's experience in this more direct light also recemented my opinion that this is by far the best written highschool manga. Each and every character is going through their own challenges. Everyone of them can look at the exterior of another and imagine some perfect life, while inside they're all struggling in their own way. There are no true villains, just different family situations and expectations. All of them change and grow slowly but surely, adapt and evolve. Really excited to see what's next.

For moment I thought he was the one who got her pregnant.

 

[Panino]

kek, boy is on course to become a Tokusatsu villain.

 

[Kaios]

I can't wait to see where this is going. I love growth

 

[Brackass]

Oh I like this. The douchey better-than-everyone facade hiding a poor kid forced to """grow up""" too fast. I like it when this kind of character actually gets to grow instead of being left as a villainish character.

 

[Falsien]

This is yet another reason why Skip is head and shoulders above of other mango in its genre.
Every character is realistically grounded and going through something, archetypes that would be one note plot devices have a solid explanation to what makes them tick.
Its a cast of deeply flawed characters that are all castles of cards just waiting for one poof to completely topple them over.
More over none of them are bad or antagonistic for this, they are just human.
Also Shima is JUST trying so hard to fooling himself its painful ,if cute, to watch.

 

[rabidfish]

Meh I don't care about this dude. Pretty common trope. I know it'll resolve in a unique way that ties in well with the rest so I'll have patience

 

[Gem-Bug]

I feel bad for him, despite his inner-contempt for those around him.

Thanks for the translation!

 

[hentako]

Asshole parents

 

[outinthegardener]

kek, boy is on course to become a Tokusatsu villain.

He moves out. He buys every tokusatsu action figure from his childhood and fills his apartment with them.

Finally! I'm FREE after ten thousand years!

 

[guatafat]

this was a really good chapter, but waiting 1 month for the "main story" to not move forward is a bit disappointing. I really wish I could read all the chapters in one go, so I could truly enjoy them for the quality they possess

 

[keatsta]

i like that we get some focus and expansion on this character, cause he was just sort of a foil for Tokiko in her arcs. his characterization makes sense, but i hope his parents aren't wholly written off as villains and we get some depth there too.
