azuma is such a sweet guy… 🥹 i wonder why he looked at tajimi-sensei like that in page 17, though? is it because he’s not wearing a wedding ring?
ahhhhh, but somehow the updates are always uploaded as soon as i get home from the office so it always feels like a little treat after a hard day’s work. i’m so happy! thank you for translating!

I wondered that too. Why he looked at the teachers hand like that?? Hmm. Also I was wondering about the interaction azuma had towards the end when he was asking hara to stay at his friends house? Did she mean she didn’t want to stay with a guy? Was she uncomfortable because of that?

Imagine you were having a flashback episode of a traumatic event. You are scared and distressed, can't think rationally and a guy suddenly offers you to spend the night at a friend of his you don't know at all.
The lady understands Azuma doesn't mean any evil, but she was already terrified enough to go to an unknown place in a weakened state, specially if she was imagining uglier situations should she take up the offer.

I thought he focussed in the lines of his hand and face, as in, noticing he's older? Since he's having a bit of a midlife crisis now that he's turning 40 and thinking about what he'd like to pass on 🤔
oh this makes a lot more sense!

I also did wonder if it was because of a missing wedding ring, then I figured it was the wrong hand for that 😅
(and then I tried looking through past chapters to check, but alas there don’t seem to be any other close ups of his hands)

I also wonder if it isn’t partly out of a sense of propriety, given Japan is comparatively socially conservative. As in, it wouldn’t be “proper” for a woman to spend the night at a single man’s place.
Thank you for the translation

I think I need the next chapters to sort out what's happening. Did Azuma have a crush on Tajima in the past ? Why did he look so flustered ? Also I first thought that the lady didn't take on Azuma's offer because she somehow guessed that he was gay and that the man whose place they were going to spend the night was Azuma's partner and just...panicked. Not sure though, could also be cultural reasons, japanese etiquette that foreigner readers don't get.
