What an interesting chapter in more ways than one. Seems we've got some overlapping mysteries and family drama surfacing.
And it looks like Zach in Love survived the recent MangaDex mangapocalypse... Praying that this series doesn't face a future removal.

Let's see what the author cooks up. 👀 Different cultures tackle certain topics in different ways, so let's see where the story goes!

Also wow, I just love how this manga weaves in so many different themes together beautifully.
Your self-image and who you want to be.
Acting and how there's a little truth in all acting.
What it means to be human, and how you can live without truly living.
And all of it makes it so believable when the grandmother instantly understands and completely accepts her granddaughter.
I'm really rooting for this manga to go the distance.

If that's happening despite getting removed with no Official English, I hope you will still upload the series. An hour after being upload in here other alternative sites will mirroring chapters so it can acts as an archive. Then mods can take down as they please ahahaha. (Doubt they will remove again with no requests).

Ah! I'm liking the way this is headed.
This chapter gives me hope for Yumeko- her situation isn't just screamed outright from the rooftop- we see it more subtly. Her desire to stay young and avoid puberty is a pretty common situation for trans kids. I suspect the author is going to handle her future growth well.
Plus, Zach is providing some good ways to help the family emotionally. Clearly, the kids haven't moved in with grandma just for funsies.

Hesitation? I have my own theories of the manga which may be slightly different than everyone else's here so far 😂
I'm a big fan of "wait and see" because I think there are a few different yet equally valid ways to handle the plot hints we've seen in this. I think the author is really talented so I have faith no matter what.

thank you for the translation! I love how this is shaping up! Wether Yumeko is trans or not, I think the messaging is important for everyone and I'm excited to see a manga touch on identity in this way!

hopefully this means that next time seven seas won't try to turn another series' femboy into a trans, but would just pick up this series instead. there would be far less backlash involved, to be sure.
but seriously though, i think this is the first time I've seen a proper (probably) trans character in a series (and according to my manga trackers, my series count is in the low thousands at this point
) - certainly a rarity, but if l'm honest it pretty much corresponds to the proportion of openly-trans people I've met irl thus far.

So a trans girl, huh? Makes sense she wants eternal youth then, since she fears her body growing up.

Ohhhh boy I know the reference 😂
Which is actually the exact reason that, based on the spectrum of possibilities I know exist in manga, has me personally hesitate to make any calls on a characterization. But I'll say it again, I'm loving how this author writes so far, so I kind of have faith that regardless of whatever is going on, it will do justice to the character. We're only 3 chapters into the story after all ^^
