If you haven’t used Amazon JP before, note that you will need a separate account. CDJapan has (slow) economy shipping options available so is usually cheaper.
I was very happy about this scene, since I complained during last volume that there was too much cute clothes + bras + make-up = femininity.
I want to confirm: does Mei say here (page 22) that she thought every girl wants to dress up like this, and the ones that don’t are just being shy?
I hope Kotone has a redeeming chapter later, casue so far I just don’t like her condescending and somewhat self-sentered behavior against others.
I think she just reminds me of an old friend of mine, who I gave up on ever getting better and cut all contact for my own sanity =P (best choice of my life, only regret not doing it sooner XD )
I assume there is something about jealousy toward Tetsu, but still, she has a very “if I don’t like it then it is bad” type attitude against everything and everyone in a way.
a LINE address. I don’t know a lot about it except that it’s a very popular messaging app in Japan, so knowing someone’s LINE is like knowing their number to text them.
I looked at the scenario in more detail, and I think I was actually completely wrong and misleading!
(the use of わかる maybe should have been a tipoff for me, like you asked about it your follow-up)
Out of context it sounds a lot like talking about something like “knowing the number of any chill boys” but I reread starting from the start of the chapter and it’s not that at all.
Mogumo is saying like, “I don’t know where you draw the line between a boy that’s OK (and one that isn’t)” - responding to Kotone’s exclamation in the previous panel, that Mogumo misled her about the cafe people.
Like, it’s about how Kotone isn’t used to being around any gender non-conformity at all, so Mogumo doesn’t get what’s going to be acceptable to her or not.
Sorry for the confusion! Hope that makes sense! I think I have it along the right lines now!
Yeah I hope her character gets some more depth right now she has few redeeming qualities.
Spoilers
I’m like 80% sure that she will actually out すず in a future chapter. The scene this chapter hints at that quite heavily.
The scene were てつ asks his sister if she wants to be called 姉貴 instead of 兄貴 is also really sweet.
On a sidenote I have been super disciplined with only reading a chapter a week, but the cliffhanger at the end of the chapter is tempting me to read on…
(I’m still not quite sure what to put into spoilers anyone have a quick guide for me?)
