Shounen Note

oh fk, no!!!!!!

Darn, now to wait for the next chap

Mito looks like she's in love with Machiya. And wanted to be a boy.

I ship... :3

it's the same message as the one written on the sign machiya rides past on her bike at the start of chapter 2 (which was left untranslated then?), and that the choir sings next to with minoru.

Thank you for pointing that out. Small details in the environment remain vital to a story's bigger picture. 

Hm...a sewage treatment plant is in the works of being constructed? Is that flyer relevant to the next arc of this story? 

Well, considering the cliche that big corporation destroys things, that they were fishing and having fun, and that they may construct a sewage plant, I'd say its pretty easy to guess what's going to happen.

Interesting, interesting, such different responses.  I guess tohukyo summed it up fairly nicely, but I was particularly interested in the male experience, since I'm female, and although both change, the changes are quite different.  Like I said before, that time wasn't stressful for me, but my really high soprano voice did drop, and although I'm still a soprano, I mourn the loss of my previous highest register...but that probably can't compare to the difference a boy would go from soprano to alto to tenor/baritone/bass.  It really is a blessing to not have to deal with a bunch of strife in your home, especially during such transitional years.  Shame on Tomo's parents for arguing so aggressively right in front of their kids.  It's sad that so many parents don't realize the impact their behavior has on their kids.

It isn't stressful, guys ease through puberty for the most part. Girls I would imagine have a much harder time with all of their physical changes. They also have to deal with an "adult" body much sooner and their entire presence in the eyes of males and females dramatically changes.

I don't know what puberty was like for you but for me it was pretty awkward and stressful as it probably is for most boys and girls that go through it.  For boys you have to deal with your voice changing, always worrying about if that erection that all of a sudden seems to pop up out of no where is visible as you have to walk up to the front of your class.  Your mental state changes as well.  Those girls in your class who you were indifferent to before now pose a different interest to you which is probably the most stressful part of being in puberty.  

Any guys read this?  If so, is hitting puberty usually that stressful?  I'm female, so I'm aware my experience was different, but for me, that was more of an annoying time than stressful.

T.T the kind and loving gentle giant is in pain...

I'm not a guy but despite gender, it ultimately depends on the context in which a person grows up in while in puberty. For Yutaka, part of growing up means the loss of his angelic god given voice. For Tomo, in combination with the stressors in his life, such large height is often associated with the idea of adulthood and thus people are too quick to assume that his mentality is somehow "mature" and doesn't easily hurt. For people who simply grow up in their day to day in a stable home, my impression of those people and what puberty is like for them is that puberty is simply the slow steps towards maturing into an adult with self centered bumps along the way. It's a privilege to live without such burdens that are (partly) caused by the onset of puberty like Tomo and Yukata.

How simple minded....

Yay, couldn't he just get himself castrated ? I mean people did that in the past in order to retain their voice.

For obvious reasons, no amount of words in any language is sufficient to properly express how the above quote made me feel.

Sweet chap, should be add "romance" tag xD.

Now I can't understand what's going on here.

Well, I think I should just wait til the end.

this is a really poetic type piece of work i really like it.

"we who are waiting for chances and the potential of infinity, 

    why are we born inside a finite amount of time?" thank you for the chapters this is truly enjoyable

Damn, I forget almost all characters again.

xDDDDD those guards, thanks for the new chap.

I'm very happy about the fast updates. Keep it up! 

I know you probably mean well with this, but don't get used to it. I'm pretty sure the group woud rather release something of acceptable quality than rush through. That, and the group only has three regular members.

If you'd like to help out, then great! But otherwise comments like

Wish if the updates were a little bit faster. This is such a great manga. 

aren't really doing much, especially since they're already using up their free time on this. and also they do read the comments on here.

Sorry for the asshole comment!

I'm very happy about the fast updates. Keep it up!
