Chapter 34 raws are out.
Apologies to TLanon, the people who asked about it in the itokonoko threads, and everyone else for the delay, I totally fucking forgot.
I blame the irregular schedule and FUZ's lack of push notifications.

>Error: File too large.
let's try resaving it as PNG, because JPEG is so retarded that it often ends up bigger lossily than PNG would be losslessly

Garbage MC, don't care.

>hey guys look at how laid back and cool i am with my droopy eyes! i totally have this 13 year old girl in love with me but i'm like yeah whatever cause im just so cool and laid back. just ignore my total lack of characterization and project yourself into me!

Don't fall for it.

Is this the last page?

Omake 33.5 comes out next week.
Chapter 35 comes out on September 2nd.
Volume 7 releases on October 1st, and the author teased that it might come with some "good news".

>>281240903
If anything, I'm happy this manga got big enough to have haters.
Much better than being irrelevant.

>>281240625 (OP)
Thanks for dumping anon.
>>281241400
>good news
Hmm, interesting.

>>281241412
Why aren't you able to defend the MC though?

Wait I can't read Japanese

Can we all agree that the tsundare friend mogs the main girl.

>>281241517
Only sexually

>>281241400
>author teased that it might come with some "good news".
How often is this not an anime announcement? Well, I suppose it could be anything from a reprint, to pachinko, to a drama CD to a live action (lol)

>>281241779

Now that would be meta. A 13 year old actress playing a 13 year old actress.

>total lack of characterization
So you just haven't been reading.

>>281241904
Ignore the schizo

Just wondering. Why can't anyone write a decently realistic manga where the adult actually goes for the child (without waiting for 5 years first)? Is it because nothing bad would believably happen and it would be totally wholesome and overall just better than same age romance, totally breaking down the modern perception of age of consent? I mean, assuming the adult is good and responsible person like he always is in these stories.

>>281241904
>ugh how do i deal with this
Not characterization.

>>281241933
You are the idiot here though anon.

>>281241946
Consume french media if you want to see things like that.

>>281241946
>decently realistic
That the problem, most people would just wait a few years rather than risk jail, especially if the love is real and wholesome, for them to go for it without being just pedos interested in the girl being young instead of her as a person you need to make them less than realistic

>>281241400
>"good news"
Wonder if it's related to Jaga closing her twitter account

>>281241946
>illegal or immoral acts
>presented as a wholesome and good thing
>in an all-ages work sold in bookstores in Tokyo
Pick 2.

>>281241946
There's dozens of VNs with that plot.

if only I could marry Ayano.

>>281241946
I want a manga just like Koibumi but ends with the mc becoming a father figure instead.

>>281242770
How do VNs get away with so much shit?
I'm still fucked up over that one where the MC is gifted a badly abused and scarred little slave girl (who is inexplicably a virgin because of course she is) and instantly makes her his wife and everyone is just fine with it

>>281243626
Because they're porn

>>281243626
Are you talking about teaching feeling? How can you possibly be fucked by that one when it's all about being as sweet as possible to her.

>>281244335
Not to mention, it's not so much a VN but an explicit porn game as >>281244084 points out.

>>281243626
>How do VNs get away with so much shit?
There's nothing "to get away with", when you act transparently and properly declare it as an adult-only work. Anything is fine between consenting adults.
You only need to try to "get away with shit" when you're a greedy bastard and you want to spread your shit all over TV, all-ages websites, all-ages sections of bookstores, public ads plastered over buildings, etc. Then you have to explain why it's safe for children to read your shit.

>his character
>character
Quite the overstatement my friend.
If you would like an example of a manga with an actual character and a 14 year old girl having a crush on said character, read Great Teacher Onizuka.
This thing >>281245194 is not a character. It is a blob. Completely safe and uninteresting; ripe for even the the most boring readers to vicariously live though.

>>281245399
We're only 30 chapters in, we get to know more about him with each arc.

>>281245466
>Replying to LRD
Anon...

Every time I look at a manga thread there's some schizo sperging

>>281245466
You could not pay me to want to learn about this blob.
For there to be any incentive for intellectual demographics to develop any tangible interest in your main character, it is good practice to first establish a collection of interesting an appealing characteristics.
Repeatedly showing your main character making faces like this on half the panels says one thing: the author is interested in nothing more than engineering vicarious entertainment for the simpleton audience like this: >>281245565

>>281245658
Compare and contrast blob there with my aforementioned example of what a real character looks like.
Onizuka is funny, dedicated, driven, somewhat crazy, stupid, masculine, extremely caring in contrast to his appearance and always finds a way to win people over.
It makes perfect sense why a character like Urumi would develop an attraction to him. After all, he's a real character, unlike le laid back faceman here >>281245658 .

>>281245870
>Waaaaaaaaah wwaaaaah waaaaah

>>281245908
Thank you for further establishing yourself as a moron, anon.

>>281241946
>nothing bad would believably happen
it would crash and burn horribly, realistically. and the girl would grow to absolutely hate you for it as she got older.

Please ignore the troll. Don't acknowledge any of his posts. Starve it of attention.

>>281246248
>y-y-you're a troll
You are simply a moron who desires a safespace.
My points are valid and many people on /a/ agree with my views.
The point deserves to be made with this shite manga because it carries obvious similarities to a certain other far better manga.

More ayano with bare shoulders pls

>>281246742
I want to rub them

>>281246034
Source? I’ve heard it’s been known to work. In anime and manga.

>>281241946
I think the closest to that would be Ichigo no Gakkou, it's wholesome overall but it does show the relationship did caused some damage

>>281246034
>and the girl would grow to absolutely hate you for it as she got older.
you may be right, but it's only because she will be peer-pressured and brainwashed by misandrist society and friends into victimhood even if she was the one initiating and insisting on it. Maybe she will feel bad about the fact of having been involved in "something bad", and this too is something inflicted upon her by judgemental society and not the issues in the relationship itself.

Now, there's also a possibility that she will regret the relationship itself, which is a risk with relationships regardless of age. Will she regret it more because of her young age? Possible. But she will also learn and be better prepared for future relationships. Are girls spared THAT much misfortune by learning the same things at 18 instead of 13? Also, consider the regret caused by not being able to pursue a burning romantic interest because of some stupid rules. Is it worth it for girls have to sacrifice 1/3 of their limited, physically best years in order to be protected from a theoretically higher risk of relationship trauma?

In case of 13-sai, Ayano and Fumi having sex with each other would 100% improve both of their lives and not doing it only brings them more pain and regret (the tension makes a more gripping story though).

is TLanon not here?

>>281241946
There is, but mostly in yuri

>>281242858
Never gonna happen unless it's written by a man lol.

>>281250814
Fumi will never get into a relationship with Ayano

>>281250814
Kek I didn't know it was made by a woman, a lot of things make sense now.

>File too large again. Chad PNG dunking on virgin JPEG again.
Just use chad irfanview to batch convert all the files to png next time. Makes life much easier.

Ayano is lewd

>>281253105
Aren't these AI upscaled? Then you should really have saved them as png in the first place.

>>281253387
They came out of the downloader like this.
Now that I look at it, the resolution is indeed higher than usual. I'll investigate.

>>281253431
oh, I thought they were ai upscaled because the resolution was higher and they looked more sharp than usual, but maybe they've upgraded on comic fuz
I'm going to download a magazine there in three weeks for raws for another series, hopefully they have upgraded the raws there as well

I wouldn't bet on it.
It's more likely that they just forgot to apply the image post-processing pipeline on this one chapter.
The pages also have Adobe InDesign metadata that the previous chapters don't.

I think I remember possibly seeing something like this happen at least once a few years ago when I was really deep into FUZ reverse engineering and ripping of magazines, standalone chapters, and tankoubons of various Kirara series.

>>281253815

No, sorry.
I’m not really used to being told that,
so honestly it makes me uneasy.

Oh, really? That’s weird.

Is that weird?

As the years go by,
birthdays become less of “Days you’re celebrated”, and instead more of days where you notice
“Come to think of it, nobody’s celebrating me”. [rephrase this if you can think of something more natural.

[inside of seal] The poster child for being fickle.
With nee-chan every year is different.

I’ll be sure to celebrate it every year.

But Isshiki-san, you seem to have a hard time with accepting things from other people.

So I made this!

are my mom and Isshiki-san, you know.

>>281241061

Am I the kind of person who deserves to be celebrated by *the* Haga Ayano?

Ehh?
At very least the Isshiki-san I saw,
Is someone worthy of being celebrated.

Haha…

I’m not.
I’ve been watching.
The way you worked today.

How you’ve you’ve been scrambling to prepare since early morning,
working out all the details with the staff.

I know you’re working so we won’t run into any trouble.

And when I say something that would sound bad if it gets misunderstood,
you notice before I even say anything and put a stop it.

>>281241106
2:
You understand there's a non-zero chance that it might be taken out of context
in weird way later, Isshiki-san.

There are a lot of things about advertising and contracts that I don't understand.

Because you’re such a capable manager,
so I can I can work with peace of mind.

So like, Isshiki is keeping an eye on anything Ayano says or does that can be misconstrued by the idol otaku to avoid causing a shitstorm. You know how otaku are. You can rephrase those if you think of something better.

It's funny how similar these two series are, other than Itoko no ko being 90% fluff, 10% tension and this being 10% fluff, 90% tension.

Gotta say, I really admire the pacing in this manga. I've yet to see a chapter that felt like filler or a plot point that seemed to drag out or drama that felt forced.

Stalker? Ironic that after all of Ishikki's work to avoid Ayano getting stalked, he's the targeted one. Anons, do you think Ishikki is likely to get stalked? I feel Jaga is setting up a parallel with Ayano: Ayano thinks she sees Ishikki, when she is actually missing a big chunk of the picture, and occultist stalker is a foil who more obviously is missing things.

Instead of "woke up properly" change that to "woke up just fine". Just "Then see you later".

"that manager got the idea right away; it really helped"

"he was telling the tech crew he hasnt seen them in a while"

Personally leaving the -San out of manager sounds better. No specific reason to keep it there in translation, I feel.
>>281258187
"Ayano-san, let's have a talk later“
>>281258206
Instead cringe worthy I'd use 'that was embarassing of me' or 'that was gross of me'.

"Aren't you forgetting something important today?" (to me it sounds like a girlfriend who's about to inform her bf of his fuckup lol)

"Am I?"
>>281258455
Instead of "is that weird" how about "is it?"

"As the years go by, birthdays become less of something that people celebrated you for, but instead a day where you realise nobody celebrated for you . (I know that in this context it's supposed to be 'celebrated by others,' but in English usually even the person celebrating his own birthday will only say 'I'm celebrating my birthday' instead of 'I'm being celebrated for my birthday'. Just me. This seems like a pretty difficult line to translate, while maintaining the original subject/object context. Definitely needs another pass by others)

>>281255103
>You do realize Onizuka had 31 volumes of Shonan Junai Gumi to develop a much more complex character before GTO even starts, right?
Completely and utterly irrelevant. Most people didn't even read the predecessor. Onizuka in GTO alone is orders of magnitude more likable than the dry blob of shit MC from this manga.

At least I (emphasis on I might be a good idea) think you deserve to have a celebration today"

"Haha, you're making a big deal out of it"
>>281258605

I think "in weird way later" is redudant. Usually when things are taken out of context we imply it's being used in a bad way"

"so I can work in peace " or just remove the duplicate 'I can'
>>281258647
"weren't you going to ask who I like?"
>>281258747
Im extrapolating here, but I think he's referring to Akari. But again, it's difficult to translate this line since it's difficult for English to be ambiguous about this without using "them", which I think is leaves no room for the readers to infer it's Akari. The reason why I suspect this is because Akari was the only character to have been mentioned to be around the age of fumi.

>>281258771
"Even though I threw this away the way I did... He didn't seem upset. I feel like he is... Kind. P-probably"

>>281261370
It's not erotic but the casual handplacement on the man's knee, tie etc does display a sort of skin ship that is sexual. For example, parents tend to put their hands on their children's closer shoulder to display pride, and the further shoulder to display closeness. Putting hands on the knee is the borderline inappropriate, but is socially acceptable for people who are comfortable with one another. It's close to the crotch, but not so close as to cross the boundary. People who aren't family tend to do this when they display affection or tenderness, but mostly when they're seated at a similar level. In this case, ayano is physically smaller, yet her hand is ever so casually placed on the knee of the larger Isshiki. Along with >>281261401 it's pretty clear that it's meant to convey that she is the more dominant person in the relationship

JE dictionaries won't tell you this but the Japanese word 祝福 is a bit broader than the English word "blessing".
People may bless a marriage but I don't think they bless a birthday.
This should probably be "celebration".

>>281265263
Look at >>281241259
She saw the number 28 in her crystal ball and guessed that it's probably his age.
She wouldn't be able to see the number 28 anywhere on the web, especially if she doesn't even know Fumi's name.

>>281265320
A lot of companies list their staff's names online, from there it's not that hard to get someone's date of birth
Ayano has also been talking about Fumi's birthday with Natsumi at school so this girl might have just overheard something

>>281241379

Before 2021 it was pure peer pressure and anglo american zeitgeist suppressing teen sexuality
After the consent law change you will almost never see age gap romance with a teen (referring to teens aa children is a problem in itself) going for it without wait time because of the Tokyo Ordinance

Unfortunately Japan has fallen in this regards

A lawful character would do that. But I guess most people can't imagine an unlawful character that's genuinely good. The self-doubt in being able to do the good and right thing is too much, people feel more comfortable following the law even in cases it does more harm than good.

>>281266556
>But I guess most people can't imagine an unlawful character that's genuinely good.
Are you joking?, evil government vs righteous outlaws is an extremely common trope, the issue here is that most people, even most lolicons, agree that some age of consent law makes sense even if they don't agree where the line should be exactly, and the solution to this law is just to wait a few years which should not be a problem is the couple's love is real and eternal so it's hard to paint this law as something that causes any harm

>evil government vs righteous outlaws is an extremely common trope
This mostly applies in extreme situations of pure desperation, where it's so bad they have to break the law almost out of necessity and there's no good solution. (And I would exclude works promoting mindless anarchy and breaking the law for the sake of breaking it).
When it's not a necessity or desperation, most people want to avoid breaking the law as much as possible without thinking, because it makes them feel bad. They don't want to feel personally responsible for their actions, just following the rules gives them a peace of mind. This focus on being non-bad also leads them to never achieving anything good.
Romance is not considered a necessity so people will rarely excuse unlawful sexual relations. If you broke the law you are simply bad. (except for maybe incest between adults because the law doesn't make sense in any modern moral framework).

>just to wait a few years which should not be a problem
it leads to loss of satisfying romance, one of the core drives and meanings of human life, so it is a huge problem and should be taken more seriously. Again, it's the problem of only consider avoiding bad instead of creating good.

>if the couple's love is real and eternal
Romantic delusion. A couple's love is almost never eternal and you can't take a relationship for granted. It's fleeting and every potentially good interaction you abstain from is gone forever.

>>281267503
>Romance is not considered a necessity
>romance, one of the core drives and meanings of human life
>love is almost never eternal and you can't take a relationship for granted
Sounds like you just want to argue for the sake of it rather than make any actual point, if love's not a necessity and it's something fleeting then you can just fall for someone else or no one at all, no harm done, if love is something essential that gives your life meaning then waiting a few years is not an issue, especially since all your waiting for is to make the relationship physical and you can still be together ehile waiting as long as things are kept platonical

The problem is that authors do the time skip shit even with an already legal minor
Before 2021 it was a matter of cleansing the pair in the eyes of a "global audience" which nips were progressively conforming to, culminating with the unnecessary law change which will be now a solid reason why they will keep doing the time skip trope

That's a comedy

>>281269964
Yeah but he's a weirdo, he probably didn't even kiss his previous gfs

>>281270165
If all his previous GFs were pushy like Ayano he definitely got raped

>>281273037

We haven't seen her mom to compare her to but I hope she remains small and flat.

>>281273551
She's probably a slightly older version of Akari or the shotacon stepmother in the other manga.

>>281267699
I meant to say, romance is INCORRECTLY not considered a necessity, it's very important part of life and putting really far-reaching blanket restrictions on it is morally wrong. I'm repeating myself but maybe people just don't realize how much of an overreach it is to have to wait for 5+ years to be able to do the most human thing that many (if not most) people are clearly capable of doing earlier while wasting away a large chunk of their physically best years.
>waiting a few years is not an issue
I'd say most of the formative progression in human relationships happens over the course of few years, so the relationship will be defined by this unnatural restriction.
Forbidden love is a theme since Romeo and Juliet, not being able to do the thing is just so painful, as you can see in this manga too. Of course, many people are fine with it, having been brainwashed by modern culture into believing humans only become sexually attractive and capable only at 18. So it's okay they don't get to have the forbidden fruit, because only sickos want it. (Virgin Islands are only for the elite btw).
>all your waiting for is to make the relationship physical and you can still be together ehile waiting
If an adult can be in a potentially manipulative relationship with a child anyway, doesn't this defeat the entire point? At this point you are just fulfilling technicalities that shouldn't even exist or don't apply in your case, which is stupid and pointless. The government is just cucking you both off of each other's dick and pussy.

Any further thoughts on this before I dump? Currently going with blessing, but celebration seems to fit the birthday theme.

>>281274295
Anon it's not hard to understand, waiting a bit is the proof of love, and in this kind of setting it also shows the older party is not preying on the younger one
Romeo and Juliet is a good example of the righteous outlaws trope and in that setting it was made clear that the families were in the wrong, this can't apply in a setting like thus because most people agree that some form of age of consent law should exist, to argue otherwise you need to abandon reality like some doujins do

>>281276736
Celebration is probably the best since it plays into the talk they have about birthdays in the chapter

>>281276736

>waiting a bit is the proof of love
this is cope, in a healthy relationship you shouldn't have to wait. If you have to, the society is doing you wrong by restricting one of the most beautiful and basest of human experiences.

>in this kind of setting it also shows the older party is not preying on the younger one
So you have to give proof of innocence? Anyway, Fumi never preyed on Ayano, Ayano came up with her affection on her own, Ayano is smart, fertile and shows interest in adult relationships, and tries to have one with Fumi, she's not being coerced or manipulated (legal in adult relationships btw), instead, she's having her feelings repeatedly neglected and invalidated. In simple moral principles, Fumi would do nothing wrong by reciprocating and having a relationship with her, he would get a cute child wife and she would get her first relationship with the man she wants.
A feminist might say: "but the experience gap makes it unbalanced" etc. And so what? It's a relationship based on mutual attraction without coercion or abuse. In fact, learning from more experienced might be better. "What if she has a bad experience?" You can have bad experience in any relationship, if you want to avoid bad experience, the age limit should be infinite. The grounds for this relationship are totally good, honest and wholesome.

>some form of age of consent law should exist
I don't know the perfect solution, but if the main issue is the vulnerability to manipulation, maybe you could make it illegal for an adult to groom/initiate, but legal to reciprocate, though this may be hard to prove. There was a real case where a teenager initiated multiple times on a teacher, who finally accepted, and thus got charged with child rape. Modern age of consent laws are strictest in history and obviously very heavy-handed, restrictive and nonsensical in many cases and people can't seem to discuss the harms and benefits honestly, they just accept the restrictions.
