@BCS - yes, now that you mention it, it has to be a fantasy sequence. There's actually a descending series of frames right at the end of the last page, ending in the corner with an odd set of diagonal lines, then that whole sequence kicks off. I think that's supposed to be an indicator - sort of like a screen ripple.

It's sort of amusing and interesting that in her fantasy, Ueno's a tsundere. That explains some things though - that's likely why she takes such a roundabout path to communicating with Tanaka. She doesn't want to let him actually know how she feels - she wants him to pursue her so she can be tsundere about it. And since he's one of the densest objects in the known universe...

I understand that the setting is "girl is in love and the dude is too dense to notice" but damn the guy is so unlikeable, how do you manage to make a character more irritating than rito (fromt to love-ru) is beyond me.

Wow, this is much more fun than I was expecting. Good stuff! Thanks for the translation!

So jigospats...

The "translation" notes say that it uses "jigowatts" which appears to be a botched pronunciation of "gigawatts," and there might be something to that, but is there an additional layered pun there? Something to do with hell?

Anyway - another amusing chapter, and thanks again for doing this for us.

They are in the 3rd year of Middle School. No way in hell this fool didn't take sex ed. There is no possible way he doesn't know the difference between a man's "thing" and woman's "thing." He's not dense, he's straight up stupid. Like "Aho Girl" stupid. Give this boy a banana and the difference in intelligence ends!

Hello, about Chapter 0 - all the next volumes will be beginning with the cover and table of contents, but I can't edit Chapter 1, so I figured I'd append those to the beginning of the series.

Thank you for translating this manga and including those comments at the end of each chapter! They are very informative, and I appreciate you taking the extra time to add some context

Another funny chapter, and another really impressive bit of scanlation. Thanks.

For some reason, the panel with Yamashita just sitting in the background watching and blowing a bubble struck me as the funniest part of the whole thing.

I honestly suspect that Tanaka is doing his utmost to survive the madness that is his love interest. She's literally tried to drown him due to not accepting her advances.

Better take it nice and slow than risk her doing anything crazy.

@saktomo Ohhhh awesome! The PV looks really good!
Now I'm anticipating who the voice cast will be. Looking forward to it.

I think chapter 12 actually qualifies as character development for Tanaka - he was proactive, not just resisting Ueno, but working around her demands.

Of course, Ueno and Yamashita weren't as pleased to see that development as I was...

On another note, I just want to explicitly thank Bainhardt for doing this. This is pretty much my current favorite manga, and it's only in part because I enjoy the manga itself. It's not just that I know when I see a new update that I'll likely laugh out loud at it, but that I know I'll be experiencing careful, quality work from a conscientious scanlator.
