You were on the right track but-

design

noun​

1
: a particular purpose or intention held in view by an individual or group
"He has ambitious designs for his son."

Webster says this use of the word is correct, but there is a grammar rule involved. To be fair it may not be stylistically popular but there is nothing technically wrong with it. The problem is, having a design ON someone would usually imply something involving clothes. Having designs FOR someone isn't wrong, even though you'd normally use the word "plan" over "design". Regardless, the word "ON" was used instead of "FOR".

My guess is that putting "I've had plans on what to do to you" would have been too long-winded for the speech bubbles. But that's too literal of a translation to begin with, and in English we have a turn of phrase or two that equates such as "I've got plans for you".

I'm sure most people won't have an issue with it. Sadly for me it was awkward enough to distract me just as it was getting good. ^^"

i am honestly happy that toudou overtime being some what honest about her feelings towards the people she accommodate with then just being over the top now thats some character growth

 

[WeabooCunt]

WHY CAN'T SHE JUST GET TOGETHER WITH HER?!?!?!?!?

I actually didn't know you could use this word in this context so I googled it and the free dictionary at least lists "have designs on (someone or something)" as an existing idiom.

That aside, I really like that the whole bullying aspect was actually addressed and not just handwaved away as soon as Rin claimed that she had been in love all this time.

it may not be as common outside of the USA, but to "have designs on" someone is actually correct. specifically, we're using the definition "to want to date or have a sexual relationship with (someone)".

ref: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/have designs on

for context, in case you're interested, we're using it to represent "下心", which otherwise translates to something like "ulterior motive". it worked best for toudou's response of "下心。。。あるの。。。？私に。。。？", which would otherwise clunkily translate to something like "ulterior motives... exist... for me?"

Ughh, my heart is about to explode

it may not be as common outside of the southern USA, but to "have designs on" someone is actually correct.

have designs on​

idiom​

1: to have a secret desire and plan to get (something)
She had designs on my job.

2(formal + humorous): to want to date or have a sexual relationship with (someone)
You can deny it all you want, but I think it's pretty obvious that you have designs on her.

Calm down, I never even stated my location for starters. I'm simply calling out a stylistic choice.

Yeah, that's why I said it's "usually". There are many uses of words that have been obsoleted. For instance, ironically, 'obsoleted' being used as an adverb. LOL

Just because you don't see it often doesn't mean it's never been used. But it won't change the fact that it's awkward if it's rarely used. Proofreading isn't a perfect art anyway.

I admit I probably came off pretentious, but that's because this is a goated chapter and I got distracted by word choice of all things. That's my bad, but I think I think asking for clarity is a small thing. It's not like I'm asking them to make a correction, there's nothing to correct because it is purely a stylistic choice! But I do strongly suggest it.

 

[Mangamoz]

Rin has been the one with the most emotional bond with Itsumi out of all the girls.

If this does end as a harem ending as hinted at, then Rin should be the 1st wife.

 

[Dominus_deImmortales]

Damn… there’s been so much good happening in these last chapters… did we do something good?

it's actually in active use! at the bottom of the merriam-webster link you can see references to a bunch of newspaper articles that have used it in the last few years. totally get what you're saying though! slangy phrases can be confusing to readers, but we like to use them to keep it casual for that kansai vibe. glad you liked the chapter! 💖

 

[spacecadette]

What the hell?? honestly halfway through the chapter i was expecting all this to be a dream, dont get me wrong im not complaining, absolutely not, that was amazing

When I read it the night it released I kept muttering to myself "How is this happening" and telling @wifecity that Rin could be forced to go home on the very next page and I'd still be satisfied with the progression but it just kept going!! It kept not stopping and I was losing my mind. It was so hard to keep quiet about this the past six weeks

Aaahh, so it's a kansai-ben quirk. Thank you for clarifying your choice sir/ma'am/they'am. You didn't have to but I'm happy you did.

I get you, tho I wouldn't call newspapers the best reference. The total nightmare reading Japanese newspapers can be despite being fluent. 😭 Those basic 3000 kanji they teach you ain't nearly enough. People who are paid to write are a little off their rocker!

 

[TokenOtaku]

This is by far the best Yuri manga. They know when to add comedy and when to chill out for some yuri romance time. Though I think Rin isn't the Top waifu she rouse to the top 5 after this chapter. It was soo good.

 

[BossDrk]

The author develops this couple, however, cunningly leaves Todou's feelings somewhat vague and open. I guess the author wants to deepen Toudou's relationship with the other girls to finally decide. Thanks for the translation.

 

[MakoMachine]

Ahh, the domestic yuri I always love. This chapter shows some serious character growth in that Toudou now realizes that a girl can like her just for being her without being potioned. Like, there is a lot Toudou learned here, from restraining her attitude can get her what she wants more than audacious charisma and that she should take people's feelings more seriously. This is strangely turning into a lowkey masterpiece lol

 

[JKTV]

she already diddled prez and kouhai. Now she has to get it on with the yankee! (I literally couldnt care less about the rest, those 3 mentioned are the best)

 

[TheMode]

EATING GOOD TONIGHT. The title should change soon.
