Hey, hey! It's the translator note dump truck!
- (p. 1) Yuuto's figurine for Kai is displayed at the couch side table.
- (p. 1) The sound effect here is actually "douwaaaan" 「ドゥワーン」, but since it's obviously just turned daytime and Kai is just waking up, I decided to switch up the sound effect to make the "alarm clock" sound more universal.
- (p. 4) A "split" is bowling terminology for when you've got two pins at the edges remaining after knocking down the pins at the center. Very bad to deal with, since you either need two more balls to hit the two pins individually, or do a sick trickshot where you hit a pin using the bounce of the other pin.
- (p. 6) "AJ! He sounds so stiff!" I know! That's how I sound like when I'm talking to my professors too! It's called politeness!
- (p. 8) "Tetsuji-sensei" 「鉄筋先生」 (lit. "rebar") seems to be an allegory for the author, "Tetsukazu-sensei" 「鉄一先生」. Note how the first character is the same. Just prior to this chapter's release, they tweeted "Every time I look back, the 'Saturday two weeks from now' is right behind me. Horror!" Guess Shion-chan's mother is a manga editor?
- On the topic of Tetsuji-sensei's name, "Tetsukin" is actually how "rebar" is read, but I chose the alternative (and kun-yomi) reading of 筋 to get "suji" because... well, it just sounds better doesn't it? The lack of furigana here means I have to get creative.
- (p. 8) "I wonder if it'll snow tomorrow" is a joke about how Tetsuka- I mean... Tetsuji-sensei was able to finish before the deadline. Rarity. Maybe even an impossibility.
- I think it's worth noting, at least, that all chapters of Kono Gomi o Nanto Yobu have been on-time, with the exception of a single day where a chapter on Fanbox came out a day late. Since the chapters you see aren't sourced from Fanbox (which are just sketches), you probably never noticed that.
- (p. 9) Hey, at least she's open-minded.
- (p. 10) I was unsure what to translate 「こんなんで引くような男子には紫苑を任せたくないなー」 as. I chose to keep very close to the original text, so this ambiguity is from the manga, not from me.
- I used more hyphens than I wanted for this chapter. Sucks.
- You'll notice that the ellipses are also on a separate line than the text. That's because the bubbles for this chapter are so dang narrow. Hard to fit text in.

I'm really praying that she'll understand, but I know that realistically she wont. 😔

To be honest though he doesn't deserve the compassion, he's made this stupid choice. I can already forsee this ending with Older bro and stalker girl getting together in the end. Infact whats so weird is this series has completely dropped the younger bro out at this point.

If Yuu wasn't a s i m p we would have already reached the happy ending by now. Unfortunately it looks like things will go downhill from here.

Gf and her family or your lil bro? Time to stop going MUH LIL BRO and give him (and for his own sake) independence.

Sad to know this series won’t be long running, but here’s hoping for a good ending.
After having a chapter explaining Kai’s perspective and all he wants is to be accepted, I’m betting he’ll fall extra hard for his GF knowing she has such nice parents.
Sad that he’s technically in two-timing her with a crazy person.
