By the way, April 1st is Shiori's birthday as written on her forged documents.

Thank you for the scan

Wait she still wants to die? Bruh I thought she was gonna finally learn

Because it was April 1st, I kept waiting for a punchline in this special chapter lol.

Thank you for the translation.

Now we wait for the punch.
Oh.

I think it is very real how even knowing that Hinako still wants to unalive herself… I feel it’s more realistic than her doing a 180° after knowing others care about her, since depression isn’t that simple to fix or battle… this chapter broke my heart but also gave me hope for things to get better. A lovely chapter but also a painful one. Now I want to see the anime, not because I care much about it, but because I want to see the opening an ending. Thanks for the translation!

Fuck this, Hinako still has suicidal thought
Well, at first step to heal her has been taken, hopefully
I'm so happy to see Hinako and Shiori talk heart-to-heart like this again

Since when everyone became so tall and beautiful? Either it's me or this chapter was drawn better than the rest.

Thank you for translations! Was worried it'd be another april joke, but turned out to be the best gift at the start of the month!

Thank you for your work!

Thanks for the TL!
Hinako's suicidal idealization still being this strong really must cut deep for Shiori and Miko, though I do have to appreciate her depression and PTSD as not being blown over by just realising she's loved, they're truly serious problems to have and she hasn't ever really had the support to deal with it. All this time she's been romanticising the idea of finally joining her family through something outside of her own means and with Shiori representing both a reason to stay and her way to leave, it's obviously causing a lot of emotional distress to Hinako.

I also really love the expression work this chapter, Shiori's smile in the bottom left of page 34 is a pretty good mix of both pain and acceptance, and that last page is especially well-drawn, what a beautiful shot of Shiori.

As much as I'd like to hope they could change the promise, I feel it's been established as a certainty by now, so it's best to instead enjoy what time we have left.

Without knowing exactly what she told her, I don't think there any way we can say for certain if this is the case.

I'm working under the assumption that Shiori wants to stay faithful to the idea of a blood pledge's sanctity being concrete (she did place a lot of importance on it, even specifically stating 'I pledge that...'), and therefore maintaining the promise even as she wishes she didn't have to do it. Even this moment from Hinako is one step closer to Hinako enjoying life, fulfilling her side of the deal, and Shiori then consuming her.

Nice progress. I'm still just waiting for the kid Shiori made immortal to arrive and see Hinako contrasted with her. Two characters with strong death urges who are trapped in this world by Shiori to greater or lesser extents meeting and seeing how they compare would be peak fiction.

 

[Yuri_Enjoyer_Deluxe]

She understands it now...

So still on the path, but at the same time, staying alive. Truly Schrodingers Suicide.

I wonder then... now what? The feelings came across, but is this truly salvagable at this rate?

Yeah she needs therapy that specializes on grief. This is still a step up tho. She can atleast genuinely smile

 

[erana1]

Well, at LEAST they both realized the "let's eat her" promise was silly. Was not the "I free you from your promise" that I wanted, but is close enough for now.

 

[licesucker]

can feel the end is near... thank you for your work tl team!

 

[beThereShortly]

There's a lot of things going on these past few chapter. All and all, I am really, really glad Hinako and Shiori were able to have a good, healthy discussion face to face. And to understand each other a bit more.

I wonder if the last few panels with Shiori's inner monologue are meant to hint at more romantic feelings she might have for Hinako...
As much as this serie is obviously yuri, so far I didn't feel like there was a whole lot of romance in this manga at all. Maybe this is going to change from now on.

Either way, thank you so much for the translation!
