Art page is cool, I like that mask alot.

Haruka being so overprotective is valid but wholesome. I wonder if Noct could cast some kind of shawl over the crib so Yuri can't be so easily seen given that he is being hunted right now??

Also the genderbent reincarnation is interesting, I would have to go back and read but Haruka only ever refers to herself as an old man in relation to moments where they are surprised, otherwise they seem kinda fine and resigned with being a woman. Idk

I pray they have a safe journey

Thanks for the tl

Perhaps elf biology works differently and things that they'd be uncomfortable with in a human body are out of the picture, leaving them with only social aspects that could cause discomfort.

Elf dimorphism is usually quite minimal, and the long-lived lack the evolutionary pressure for highly active reproductive systems.

So, Haruka's body like doesn't do a menstrual cycle like humans; it might be a longer, where things happen slower and without extrema.

I believe they might still be figuring things out regarding they's desired place in society, and gender issues are too mixed up with everything else that's new, so only now might things get addressed. Parental roles involve gender more than magic does. And another in the same situation with being things up more.

I am glad I stuck with this, the start was alright but it's getting better and better and I am getting really attached to the characters.

Also nice end card the colors look great.

just remembered that haruka still hasn't revealed to the party that he's a reincarnated.....i wonder when and how they're going to find out

Spoiler: This will spoil it.

In the WN, the reveal is an accident, but by then the group had already figured out enough to not be surprised. It's really anticlimactic. The manga could actually make things a bit more lively if it wanted.

Haruka before the baby spoke: Cool and compassionate.
Haruka after the baby call her Mama: Awakened to be a Mom.

Maybe... that's just from what I've read.

From the WN (not spoilers), Haruka refers to herself as a man whenever something comes up that brings her attention to the discrepancy between her old and new bodies, because despite her body, her perspective experience is that of a man. For example, every time she creates hot water for Colin to bathe in (background event that rarely gets brought up), Haruka leaves the room despite Colin wanting the company to talk and gossip and help her wash her back.

Spoiler: Massive Spoiler

Haruka has no sexual attraction in this body. Why, exactly, I don't know. Though her body isn't just that of a dark elf. It's a custom built vessel that looks exactly like the one goddess that happened to be laying around when the other god/goddess needed a body for Haruka's soul. There was no special meaning to Haruka getting it.

 

[Othymit]

What do you mean?

Yet to be impregnated

 

[hawkflights]

Until now we've been teased with a lot of half-baked plot points while the title struggles to coalesce around themes that could have easily built the story. There is potential here. Instead, we seem to getting thrown hard into this daycare arc.

Thanks for the translation!

The artwork on the final page is awesome!

I wonder wether Haruka or Yuri will fully realise the other is reincarnated first.

 

[MTFish90]

thank for the tl. also fwiw I haven't been noticing the sfx too much which is probably a good thing. also really like the art page, the colours are nice

 

[KiotheFrail]

This manga continues to shine bright each chapter.

Spoiler: spoiler

I'm still a bit bitter that they cut out the little foreshadowing of 'Haruka Mama' that was in the novel but Yuri is so adorable I'll let it slide...

 

[ninjakai03]

HOLY PEAK ENDING PAGE WTF good work

 

[LoliCatFox]

Wooo....it's a double reincarnation genderbender. Guy turn girl and girl turn guy. I haven't seen one before.

Extremely minor spoiler from WN: at this point, Haruka had already narrated (i.e. thought to herself) that he/she doesn't feel any sexual urges, neither for guys or girls. Nor mentions having a period.
We'll met an elf not too long after this point of the story (it'll take way longer in manga I assume) and they mention feeling that Haruka is younger than them (and said elf is young among their tribe). As far as I remember, the story doesn't give a number on that and leaves it open if how old or young or naive Haruka is would be a matter of elvish perception rather than a specific age.

Let's f gooo, it's canon now haru mama

 

[coolpantskid]

holy shit your art is amazing

 

[Sancturil]

Honestly, Haruko having been a man in her previous life has not had any relevance the entire story so far, and I don't think it will either the way things are going.
Haruko should have been a woman in her previous life.
