Damn, it's back. Thanks for the translation.

Yeah, been dead for quite a while so I imagined it was a hiatus.

 

[Dredcor]

Yay! It's back! Thanks for translation!

 

[undeed]

perhaps the author really needed those 3 months to decide how to draw that wall of text,
but in the end he ran out of time, and left the wall of text as is.

either way, good to see this back

I don't know what to say, though did you know there is many ways to make a book?

Thanks for the translation

Thanks for posting. The drama of teenagers, damn....Rumi gushing out her feelings about Akira was cute. Go for it Rumi!

 

[AccForManga]

Yay no hiatus/thanks for the translation.

Glad Akira finally opened up to someone about the past bullying, if even a simplified version of it.

One more step to telling Rumi everything hopefully.

This chapter is really interesting to me because, as the translator says, Shion was 100% right about Akira. As an over-correction to what happened to her in the past, she really is constantly worried about making sure other people like her and pushes her own needs and desires aside in order to please them. But where Shion went wrong was in assuming that Akira deep down wants to shittalk her friends. She genuinely thinks they're great people and doesn't really mind helping them out. If Shion had went at this from the direction of "you can be mean and rude to me and I won't mind," she might've had more success.

Anyway Shion is one of my favorite minor characters so I really enjoyed how this chapter focused on her. I also liked Natsumi's participation since she's the one in the friend group who's gotten the least attention so far. Thanks for the translation!

I'm hoping Akira meets that girl again (I forgot her name) just so she can have a sense of closure or at least to be able to apologize.

Every chapter I worry that when they go to high school they're going to run into each other again, and instead of Akira being able to tell Rumi herself. The girl she bullied in grade school will just tell the whole school about it.

Thanks for the update

Glad it's back, and more reason for me to root for Rumi x Akira

I would be shocked if Akira doesn't go back to her hometown at one point to apologize to that girl, probably with Rumi in tow. She's been such a huge part of Akira's character that some closure feels narratively necessary.

I do believe that that was exactly what Shion was implying. She was trying to give Akira an outlet where she doesn't have to try to please everyone.
This because early she suggested to Akira to hang out with her every now and then, and then she used to exact same "every now and then" when suggesting to Akira that she didn't mind her being blunt/harsh with her.
Ultimately, Akira refused because even Shion is part of her friend group, and as much as Shion may be okay with it, Akira wouldn't be feel comfortable doing it because it would remind her of the times where she was bullying Nana.
Maybe I didn't phrase that correctly, if that was the case I apologize.
Also, Shion is too one of my favorite characters of this manga. Along with Kikuchi, Shouma and Aoi.

shion want to see akira not forcing herself to please everyone. her method is questionable tho.

 

[imhikarucat]

Coming clean, one step at a time.

That was how I interpreted it too, if that help smiley lol
I read it entirely as "Be sarcastic with me. Be harsh with me. Be REAL with me". Not necessarily "talk shit about everyone else behind their backs with me"

Like I get the vibe Shion saw the little spat with Rumi, was annoyed bc she thought Rumi was blowing it out of proportion and then making Akira grovel to make up with her when she was the one who overreacted in the first place. But in reality, Shion just didn't understand Akira and Rumi's relationship. As Rumi said herself, she acknowledged she took her frustration with random celeb out on Akira a little too much and they made up. Nbd, the situation is done and over with and was handled in a way both parties were more than OK with.

Shion just didn't really know that was their dynamic and was concerned Akira was gonna get walked all over and wanted to offer to be a better friend to her, one you CAN fight with and can joke around with without everyone's panties getting in a wad.

thanks for the translation!

nice! some opening up which is a major step based on just how much it haunts akira

 

[Kampfarsch]

Man isn't that lucky that they just so happen to hide somewhere nearby at just the right time to hear rumi gush about akira?
Also how many years of nana foreshadowing does this make? Like 4? hahaha
Thanks for the chapter

I don't know what to say, though did you know there is many ways to make a book?
