The wholesome levels of this chapter are just too bloody high.

@BCS I've actually been to that lake (ueno area in Tokyo). I guess they are lotus leaves that go really high above the surface. Here's a pic off the internet that captures it pretty well: https://c1.staticflickr.com/3/2249/2346311123_16d10cc1c2_b.jpg
As for this chapter i was really looking forward to when it would go public. I was lucky enough to read it last week (since the TL releases it in advance to those who buy the volumes) and thought it was really sweet, just how much mitsumi can deeply affect shima with her simple kindness and thoughtfulness. And also the more prominent screen time of Nao. It's a great chapter that keeps fleshing out the main two characters but also does justice to the supporting one's as well. The next chapter is definitely more complex but has some great memorable scenes as well!!

This manga is healing my messed up soul.
Sometimes i foreshadows some possibly nasty things but so far it always got solved pretty smoothly without anything bad happening

Hey, it's great you're re-reading on MD too. You may notice some corrections and revisions. MD delay lets me review things after I've done the preliminary translation and really try to get the message across. The biggest revision was when Mitsumi called Nao a professional. I knew what she meant, but the first translation didn't really carry the message through. So I thought about it some more and I'm much happier with the revised translation.
For others who may be curious, the first translation said: "Sorry, I don't mean to listen to a pro's opinion so lightly." It was very literal but also didn't make a lot of sense. Also what Nao said in reply "Oh my goodness, so that's what you think of me" didn't really carry the message because that depended on the first translation and that didn't make sense. I knew that what Mitsumi was saying that she feels bad she's literally asking a Michelin chef to make a PB&J sandwich (ie. asking a professional stylist to coordinate a plain high school girl's clothes for a zoo outing), and Nao was flattered that she was being evaluated so highly. The trap you fall into sometimes in translating is that you get stuck to some of the words and they get in the way of smoothness, because while the words may translate over exactly, the meanings sometimes do not. Without the early release and the time it gives me to think and revise, it may ever have gotten fixed.
