Thank you for your work!

I will have to binge this manga soon, to remember who's who, and that would be a bit difficult if most of it's missing.

Wait wtf, was that supposed to be the reason she hit her ?
Thanks for the translation !

The fact that the relationship is same-sexed in no way provides license for either partner to strike the other.

 

[MonsieurQuack]

While I in no way condone violence in any partnership, trying to show the strength of emotion in a printed format isn't always easy. Let's not forget that in comic form there are many over-emphasised features and another reason why we shouldn't take what we read here to heart.

 

[Xari]

Kek people always get upset about this chapter. Btw what is the reason behind all this re-uploads? I'm kinda lost with that since I know I've seen a lot of this chapters before here.

@Xari I didn't see it myself, I only know what I gathered from other comments. The original translator went on their series translator pages to some sort of political crusade, and when it was pointed out that politics is verboten here, they decided that a proportionate response to the notice was to go home and take all their toys with them. That is, pull all their translations from the site.

What violence? I don’t see that as a violent action at all

Original translator added a BLM donation page to the end of a chapter. Someone complained to MD mods about it. They pulled the page. Translator then pulled their stuff off of MD.

Windyfall took over new chapters. JapanStandard is filling in the old.

@MonsieurQuack If all we saw was the image where Iori grabs Minami's shirt I might agree that it was just poor use of artistic exaggeration. And I don't think the author intended to depict abuse. But you need to look at the context.

This chapter is framed around Minami coming to work with bandages and her co-workers being worried she's been abused. And then at the end of the story Minami is the only one apologizing. In that context the slapping doesn't feel like exaggeration. It feels like abuse that Minami doesn't recognize is such. Lines like "It was my fault" in response to her co-worker's concern add to this.

It's also important to consider the context of the overall manga. Minami is a character who has survived intense violence in her past. Her relationship with Iori is constantly being framed as her escape from that. This is not a good couple to exaggerate physical violence with. It makes it seem like Minami escaped one abusive relationship just to end up in another.

Again I don't think the author intended for this to be abuse. But I also think the criticism this chapter received is justified.

That's fair enough, I'd forgotten that as she was growing up it had been particularly hard. Point acknowledged!
