Spoiler

(Haruko IN Natsuko, obviously)

the dream and that 1st page insert of them waving at the readers made me think that the series is finally ending. damn my heart almost stopped.

hope this will go on long enough to get at least a season's worth of anime!

Ahh, I saw the new chapter listed and was thinking Vol3 came out sooner than expected, but forgot they stopped 1 chapter short of the end of the volume before =\ So as I was thinking, I don't expect Vol3 to hit until sometime in February or March.

love how casual this series is :3

now back to chapter 1 to enjoy a refresher

New chapter!!! I'd really love those figures...

Also, where was that ferris wheel kiss they talked about?

How lovely!

The image quality is so high for my internet (3rd world country anyone?) that to read this i have too go into manga aggregator site such as mangahere ;-;

Lol My Country had 2nd Last Place for Internet Speed in Asian, But I Still Can Read it Without Buffering or Jaggering in Here

When I have network troubles, I open the next page in a new tab so it can load while I read the previous one. Unless there is no text at all, this usually works out in time.

I'll just take the positive side of your comment, because I was once (and maybe still) has slow internet. And maybe this works for anyone with low speed or quota-limited internet.

The image size actually can be reduced without severe quality loss. You can do this on desktop (and mobile ?) by using Opera with Turbo mode. For example : on page 3, the original image size is 1,085 KB, with Turbo mode : 275.86KB.

But, of course this is just one of many ways.

Better to retain high quality for everyone, than lower quality for the few.

Seems to me like a surreptitious advert for that site. Since the last three words really weren't needed. At all.

Man, I'm so tempted to put stuff like "Sites like xxxfox/xxxhere/kissxxx/garbage-site/etc pretend they create all the manga they host and really just want your ad $$$$, that's why they lower the quality and watermark it. Do yourself a favour and use Bato.to instead :)" on some pages, in different places, so when they automatically rip from bato they can post their own bad publicity

I'd fix bato pages later of course. Basically I just really dislike aggregate sites. I try to show some support to the authors of series we release. I own 2-3 copies for all the manga we do, and I buy some monthly releases like Dengeki for raws rather than use free rips. I'd encourage anyone who enjoys a manga to consider buying a copy of it. So sites that are just out to make a quick buck really piss me off.

Sugary sweet antics like this are why I read this.

Reading from the raws should be easier to differentiate the characters since they usually have distinct way of talking which is untranslatable to English, isn't it?

They're both similar in personality type, so if there is a difference its so minute I haven't picked up on it. It could be the case I'm just not fluent in the different types, but its not like one is going "desu wa" and the other "no da" or something easy like that.

I think the only confusing part for me is Natsuko and Satsuki, since in B/W they look almost identical at times. Just a small difference in eye shape and if you can see the ponytail or not. Its a way worse problem when reading shoujo titles, from my experience. For some reason shoujo titles are overran with same-face problems a lot of the time.

 

Also: There aren't numbered chapters in the volume itself, but I think Volume 2 goes up to "Chapter 26" then you'll have to wait until probably ~Feb 2018 for another volume ;p

I like this manga but somehow it's really hard to distinguish the characters, mostly because it's already hard for me to remember manga character's name since I read so many manga but also because the characters are just so generic and similar to each other mmm...

Well, there's also the fact that the characters literally switch swap with each other, and quite frequently, too...

And now they can add "I've seen you naked" to the list of things people can misunderstand them for.

She's confusing the poor girl in a rather cruel way...

Is really not fair considering that Haruko is NOT dating anyone... And Natsuko doesn't feel THAT way >_> (That's what they would say if you ask them) I'm actually kind of mad.

When I see 'Swap Swap', I think of 'Fap Fap'.

They're basically a couple now in all but name. Its at the point where the way they kiss has changed and even their friends notice.
