Chapter 50

And here I was almost defending Takumi and saying he was probably not having any affairs while in town but just working, great :sweat_smile:

Also, I’m guessing this was (fake) Misato?


Not sure what’s her motive for going to Yuri’s job :thinking:

上原美里?

You might be right. Is that ring on her finger familiar? And I’m worried about Yuri. No one seems to know where she’s gone and we know that the fake Misato is a full-on stalker…

ひっどい男

Me too. Knew he was a womaniser, but just thought he loved his work more…and check out his horrible comment to his bedmate.

Chapter 50 - copycats

Looks like another Vivienne Westwood item? Or are you thinking of someone in the series that was wearing it?
Also another thing that confused me in this chapter, why is Nana using make up to recreate the same mole as Shion has? To tease Yasu, maybe? And Shion ends up in Yasu’s room, but he has just started something with Miyu, so he is not interested in her I suppose?




Ch 50 replies

I totally missed that! Now I’m wondering too! :thinking:

I feel like her going to his room is going to turn out to not be what we expect …

But maybe I’m wrong…

Me too. Saw she was pencilling one in but didn’t connect it to Shion

Yasu’s room

I feel like that too…but I also feel like Ai Yazawa has pulled a bit of a swifty here suddenly introducing the official Blast fanclub president in volume 14….shouldn’t we have encountered her before now? Or have I forgotten a previous appearance?

Fan club

Agreed that it’s a bit of a swifty. I only remember Misato and a few random fan girls, this is a whole different level!

Posting one day early just to confuse you cause I might be too busy tomorrow and I’m scared I’ll forget!

Had me fooled

Ai Yazawa is really great at setting up these visual jokes. For a moment I really did think Takumi’s fling was about to attack Hachi. Also love Takumi’s expression watching the same scene in the movie

あぁ、こわいこわい

Hate the if I can’t have her, no-one can kind of thinking - really the opposite of love.

Funny that you posted now, I also just finished reading the chapter :slight_smile:

Reaction

I loved even more that part:

Yeah, I loved that too.

Chapter 52

ASAMI, WILL YOU PLEASE STOP HITTING NOBU :angry_face_with_horns:

Apart from that I liked this chapter.
Yasu and Reira’s first kiss was very romantic. Super smooth move by Yasu, now I want to go and try that on someone too :joy:

Childish pranks?

Went to look up 「かんちょう」from 浮気なんかしたら、カンチョーするよ
and was bemused/amused by the different different options the dictionary gave me. I’m pretty sure she’s talking about enemas and not the first option. But about that first option…I’m pretty sure that where I grew up poking people’s anuses with fingers would not have been considered a childish prank….:woman_shrugging:t2:


I’m

Do and make sure you come back and give a report :wink:

I enjoyed the chapter and have a little more to say, but have to go now…

Childish prank

I hadn’t caught that phrase, what is that :sweat_smile:
Maybe I should ask my mom to see how it was translated.

Come back soon! Yeah there is much to say. I think this chapter shows well how Yasu has been sacrificing his love life for Nana. He hasn’t been dating anyone because she could barge in at any time of day or night and say that she needed him. And he knew that she was super fragile and would break down completely if she found him with a girl or if he wasn’t available. And of course he was also waiting for Nana to choose him over Ren, which would have happened eventually I guess. Which is also why Ren explains that he asked Nana to marry him. And now that it’s done (the proposal), then Yasu is also giving himself permission to have a romantic interest too it seems.
I can’t yet put a finger on why not with Reira though, what made him not love her anymore and seems to be the same from her side, she doesn’t try to get back to him (except this one time when she heard of Takumi getting married and went to cry to him, but he gave her back to Takumi cause he had his hands full with Nana)

Caught up!

Chapter 53

Whatever gets you literate…

I love that we’re still doing this joke with the ages:


(and TWO divorces, yikes :sweat_smile:)

This was hilarious and devastating.

Anyone else think that the Ren/Layla stuff came out of left field? We knew she dated Yasu and that she was worried about Ren’s drug use, but he liked her since high school?!
