@Huichelaar the bath thing is common in Japan. 2 or more girls bathing together, regardless of how well they know eachother, isn’t an uncommon occurrence. The old guy tapped her ass, which was gross and definitely sexual harassment.

@pharoahmutt Yes I'm sure it's very common in Japan for strangers to get physically involved with each other in the bath right after meeting. I mean MC's face on page 19 is that of a person witnessing a normal everyday event. I mean she even clarifies to the reader her boobs are none of the yankee's business on page 21. Strange how she doesn't exclaim a similar thing when the old guy touches her butt, but I'll just assume that's because she stiffened up in fear and/or surprise.

What yankee did was way worse than what the old guy did.

@Huichelaar She was clearly more surprised than overtly uncomfortable when the girl entered the bathroom with her. That wasn’t a move that was unreasonable on the blondes part, it was the MC that simply wasn’t expecting it. She admits this on the literal next page. You are correct that she stiffened in fear, shock, and uncomfortableness when the old guy touched her. At no point was she fearful or nearly so uncomfortable with the blondes actions. Stop kidding yourself. You have to realize the differences between women in a society such as Japan, where it is common practice to bathe together, bathing together and having light skinship (also common) to a strange old man smacking a girls ass and telling her it’s nice.

@pharoahmutt. Who's kidding who? I don't care how open a society is, you can't actually tell me strangers are ok with bathing together and expect me to believe it. Nowhere does MC admit that she doesn't find yankee's actions unreasonable. She exclaims her boobs are none of the yankee's business, clearly signifying being uncomfortable. It's very obvious the yankee applies different standards to herself than others and that the MC, at least in this case, does not.

Haha, thats what happens weebos get their degrees in 'japanology' from anime and manga. Theres plenty of yt channels about daily life in land of the rising sun to go around nowadays, so go do some studying and stop embarrassing yourself. Its either the case of having bad information or typical yurist penchant for having delusions - in case of the latter I withdraw my statement, cause theres no point arguing with those guys.

As for all the 'consent' comments...yikes.

----

>Would have been different with Takemiya Jin though, Jesus she's really an adult and experienced Yuri author (and actually a Les irl) which i found really amusing because most of her works really similar to her real life history.

Lold. Takemiya Jin writes one or two same things over and over - theres nothing inherently original or 'mature' to be found in her works. Some topics and subjects may be atypical for the genre, but her way of tackling those kind of issues mostly does not rise to the occasion and in result, the final product often ends up being 'mediocre' (term which I actually use in non-pejorative manner here ; theyre just bland and uninspired, not 'bad' in technical sense). Theyre merely very self-indulgent and extremely introspective, sometimes to the point of coming off as neurotic. And as for her tendency to self-insert... that one series in which she almost mary sued herself was really hard to digest and I cant see how people could still treat her seriously after reading it. Good thing they did, because as far as I can tell it was a one time occurrence only but still... 'Empress Theresa' vibes are not easy to forget.

>and actually a Les irl

Yeah, most gals writing gl are*. No need to make a big deal out of it, but I suppose it goes against targeted audiences natural inclination to not fetishize either themselves or their minority group of choice.

*which actually makes me wonder how merryhachis hubby feels...but I suppose Ill never get an answer to that, so no dwelling

Repeat it in #FF0000 if you dare. Maybe someday someone will write a book about your gory groundhog day experience.

Fake marriage has that 3rd Characters.
Give it a longer story not just 1 volume it will turn into one.
The 3rd Characters was the bartender I think, but considering it was only a single volume Kodama doesn't want to cause much more unnecessary drama to it.

Renai Manga is the only one I saw that is actually pure.

Kodama Naoko drama/romance tend to be on the side that is quite controversial such as NTR, Unhealthy love triangle, Sudden emotionless kiss, and sometimes overly dramatised small matter.
You could rather say Her theme was not for all people.
I can't really say it's a bad writing because so far it's just solid, not great nor bad.

Edit :
Wait the reply was 2 months ago,
Why the hell MD notify me then?

Sorry my ass. You had an affair with your friend's bf, so you definitely didn't feel sorry at all. And don't disturb her who tried to move on with her life.

Honestly, I'd thank the fiance for revealing what a terrible friend she was, and I'd thank the friend for revealing what a philanderer he was. Then I'd throw my hot coffee in their faces and walk out. They're welcome to each other. If they cheat once, there's no reason to think they won't cheat again.

Just binged authors NTR manga and wanted more. I love Drama, don't mind ntr and the soapier the soapopera is the better!

The only thing I'm thinking of righ now is why I always happen to go grocery shopping in the same s-mart and why I ran into @SquigglesJP again! LOL

anyway, what's the plan with this one here? Translation stop cuz of ntr and author bias by other readers?

Even if you decided to drop this one, THANKS FOR TRANSLATING SO FAR!

Betrayer trying to reach out to do what? Apologies?? Not very likely, finding her so she can rub the whole "I stole your fiance and got pregnant with his chil" act of betrayal in her face some more is more likely.

The bitch... I hope she was dumped by the fiance.

Surprised about all these negative comments. I found it a nice, fresh start and also enjoyed her previous works quite a bit.
