okay this webcomic is super cute and i just 1) am incredibly thankful for such detailed translations!!!!! all the notes are super helpful to get past jargon, which if they weren't there i'd be able to understand most the story, but the notes really help to fully encapsulate whatever is being said and thus leaves a bigger impact and 2) the translation + notes makes it feel like you super duper love the story and want to do it total justice and 3) makes me want to read the novel it was based on! i was actually super shocked to see you write that the novel was set so long ago (in the 1990s/2000s) and i was like WOW i feel like the novel is just my speed with the level of protagonist growth and the love storyline! this feels like the slow burn of my speed lol. thanks for the updates and i'm excited to see where it leads next!
