Bush censorship?
I don't know about anyone else but it feels kind of weird for me thinking of primary/elementary school kids dating. Like I know it happens, but when I look back on myself at that age, dating wasn't even remotely on my mind. Boys were my buddies and romance was something far off and limited to movies. All I had on my brain was playing, mastering the monkey bars and getting something to eat LOL. I mean you might have kid crushes but no one ever thought of actually taking it seriously at that time.
Looking forward to the sister next chapter! Cat or human, gotta wonder.
What a tease.
Seriously though, they feel like they're highschoolers instead of elementary kids. I still wanna see them grow up.
I can't empathize with Mikki in these past few chapters. When I see that baby misogynist I alternately want to laugh in his pathetic little face and stomp on it until he cries for his mom. He's just mean to girls because he's a coward who's afraid of being rejected. I know I should feel sorry for him, but when he talks I can't find it in myself to feel anything but disgust.
I agree with Nekota, Machako was pretty cool in his reply, though I wish he was more confident in himself. Still he is adorable so let us all take a moment to wish for his future happiness!
I think you mean Takane to Hana. It sounds like something she would do.^^
And I also want to add Dengeki Daisy to your list. :-)
And it wouldn't have been possible without Aryl's translations <3
Thanks to take over this project, unrequited!!
(Not sure how spoilers work here so let's see if i don't break anything...)
Either way, I have to admit i'm not in a hurry to solve that mystery as the character is great and can be cool without having a handsome face like it's usually the case in shoujo manga.
Good examples, and I will add Oresama Teacher to that~
The manga name you are looking for is "Takane to Hana".
I have no idea what shoujo you guys have been reading. There was a trend for kinda-ecchi shoujo but it peaked in the 90s, maybe early 00s. Most of the shoujo I follow these days on Batoto (and really, I follow a lot of the shoujo on Batoto) has moved fairly strongly away from that trend--instead you get things like Hibi Chouchou, Gakuen Babysitters, Tsubaki-chou Lonely Planet, or funnier more genre-aware stuff like Koi Dano ai Dano or
The ones that do get into a bit of sex are usually kids in last year of high school--there's almost a cliche of "girl starts worrying about whether she should be having sex with the boyfriend as the end of high school draws near". Which is sexualized, but not weirdly so because kids that age . . . yeah. It would be weirder if they ducked the subject.
Hello, translator here. I can assure you that there was no nuance lost.
Also, I agree with you. I don't read much shoujo these days because of all that stuff you mentioned. I mainly read josei now, but Nekota is one of the only few shoujo titles that I can put up with.
* way too often they're early teens and you'll hear stuff about cute bras and kissmarks and the guys are weird ass predators and "gangsters" who have the $$$ to dye their hair blonde and get all those piercings. Sigh. But I guess that might be what I wanted to see as a kid.
Also, unsure about if there was translation nuance lost, but
Holy shit, did a 6th grader really just say that? Really? We really gotta nips those thoughts right at the bud. Go Mikki!
Sigh... On one hand, I can kinda symphatize with Mushroom-kun. On the other hand he's really starting to piss me off. I know it's hard when you're a kid with low self-esteem but stop playing it up constantly. Either give him some development or have him transfer schools or something.
It's weird to remember that when she transferred in, she was supposedly going to try to slide by without interacting much. Yeah, like that was ever going to happen.
Try saying that to the tens and thousands of people in the friendzone.
i think he's pretty cool, even with that cat head. do you think his kid would have a cat head? probably not, huh
