Chapter 17

I know I’ve said this before, but one of the things that I love (hate?) about this manga is how real ハチ’s spirals about love interests feel.


girl, I have been there…


I like that ナナ is drinking the beer that ハチ was promoting earlier :smiling_face:


This fkkin guy :enraged_face:

This is probably the first time I’ve cheered on anything that シン has done in the whole story.


I also love that レイラ was cracking up.

夢が叶う事と幸せになる事は
どうして別ものなんだろう
それは未だに分からないよ

Girl, seriously. Run.

ofc タクミ’s pos ass shows up at their apartment that night.
I also kinda love/hate that ナナ’s wish seems to have come true.

Agreed with your comments! It also seems like Takumi had forgotten about Hachi, and I liked Nobuo’s and Shin’s reactions but it seems to me that that’s what triggered Takumi going back to Hachi, just to spite them :frowning:

Oh nicely spotted!

Yeah that was my take on it too..

Did I mention that I hate that guy? :unamused_face:

Oh I forgot to mention that I’m wearing my

Haha nice!

Chapter 17

Also even though it was a shock for Nana, I’m glad she knows now, wasn’t feeling good that there was a secret between them (though Hachi doesn’t know that Nana knows so that might not go so well if Nana doesn’t bring it up and Hachi still doesn’t say anything)

Two jokes that I missed the first time around:

Ren putting an ice cube (氷) in Nobuo’s shirt


Ren wondering if Hachi’s full name is “Shibuya Hachikō” :laughing:

I could not for the life of me read that text in my scan (:sob:) so I let that one go.

I just fully missed this one :sweat_smile:

I thought I was going to fall behind this week but I managed to finish the chapter while waiting for my plane:

I really like the way this arc is handled, I take don’t see the twist and turns coming but it all makes sense. I enjoy the complex Tranes X Blast relations. I can’t wait for Reira to meet with the Nanas.

Chapter 17!
  • Idk why I always have such a hard time reading the dialogue between Junko and Kyosuke…

  • Nobu’s adorable expressions strike again!! My HEART!

  • The fact that Hachi made all that food thinking that Trapnest would come over after their show… :smiling_face_with_tear: Girl, I thought things with Takumi were just a one-time thing!!!

  • Nobu’s expressions during the whole after-concert scene with Reira/Shin made me laugh so hard. He’s trying to keep everything under control and dying inside ahaha.

  • Takumi DEFINITELY knows what he’s doing when he says “that’s not what she said the other day” crap. I love how Ren immediately jumps in and is like “you better not screw this up.” It took me some help to understand Takumi’s line “シッポ振って喜んでたよ” on p. 40 but once I did I threw up in my mouth a little.

  • Ahh and of course Nana finds out about Hachi and Takumi… :smiling_face_with_tear: She seems more heartbroken and confused than angry.

I realized for the first time that covers of the tankobon are seemingly in chronological order showing a cute little day with Nana and Hachi…!

Wait I missed that too! Ahahahah!

I think in an earlier chapter I said I really didn’t get his character, but he is growing on me a lot…

Also his facial expression when he asks for the autograph is so funny/cute.

Love this pic! So ~cosmopolitan~ And agreed – super cool bookmark (better than the old receipts I use lmao)

Same :weary_face:

It’s the only thing I use chatgpt for…

And he’s not in frame when he says it so it took me a while to accept that he would be the one saying that…

(If you have an Android) I’ve found Google lens to do a good job of finding the particular page I’m on as an English sub. As long as it’s not like a proverb or other heavy cultural thing, the translation is usually good for figuring it out (and pretty fast to look up).

Although come to think of it, I don’t think I’ve needed to do that in a few volumes..

How is this manga so good?!?!

Chapter 18


I was a little confused here where Nana says ハチ子 and not ハチ公. Has she been saying this all along and this is just the first time I’ve noticed? :thinking:


Oh boohoo Takumi, I’m so sad for you that you’re too into your work so women don’t want to be with you. :unamused_face:


This perfectly placed speech bubble did amuse me though. :joy_cat:

There so much good Nana characterization in this chapter:


Although did like her later realization that she’s part of the problem dating Ren :rofl:

And I think this is the first time we’ve really heard her reflect on her and Hachi’s relationship:


Does Yasu ever sleep? Do we need to send someone to do a wellness check?

I keep wondering the same :thinking:
I think some elements are:

  • the scenes are easy to follow and make sense
  • people’s feelings are well drawn and feel realistic
  • the interaction between the characters are often pretty funny
  • things keep happening plot wise

Oh that’s funny, I didn’t even notice. I wonder if it’s even intentional or if it’s a typo.
