Managed to score some early raws, figured I shouldn't let them go to waste with there being no chapter last week so I threw together a quick translation.
There's enough problems with the current scans that I'll probably just wait until Thursday to do a properly edited release, but if some things work out then I could possibly have Kaguya come out around this time every week. Managed to get the estimated cost down to about five dollars so it's definitely possible, and it might work better with my schedule on the off chance I ever get a job so we'll see if it's doable:
>>149497988
I love you Jag.
>>149497988
Will stalker-chan ever recover?
>>149498189
>>149498090
FATALITY
>>149498415
What's with Fujiwara and octopus?
>>149498439
KAGUYA A CUTE
>>149498357
>Yes
Straight up rekt
>>149498617
So do these two live alone together?
>>149498733
They have a father that showed up for panel.
>>149497988
Are those three Fujiwara sisters? Or is the one in front a youthful mama?
>>149498544
Haysaca best mom.
But friends ask each other to do stuff as well. Have they retarded rather than progressed in terms of social awareness?
>>149498792
>i miss you
holy shit
>>149498801
The one in front can't be her, no ribbon.
>>149497988
>Stalker chan still there.
There needs to be an ntr chapter soon, or a jealousy one.
>only Fuji-theshitter-wara gets to enjoy summer
And she said it was unfair for her.
>>149498879
When does she appear next to or beside him?
>>149498852
Have we seen her mother?
>>149498928
AW SHIT NOT LIKE THIS
>>149498357
>Yes.
I laughed.
>>149498928
FUUUUUUU-
>>149498905
She is always therein his heart.
>>149498928
Damn didn't think aka would actually do it
>>149498830
Have you read the manga? They were always at this point of strangeness, and could never concede a single point to each other in the process.
Without a bit of chaos they never end up closer as well.
>>149498928
YAMEROOOOO
>>149498928
God fucking damnit.
That's all. If the thread dies fast, I'll probably just make a new one on Thursday or whenever I've got better scans. I'd like to make it work so I can do Kaguya around this time every week even if it costs a little bit more, we'll see if it works out.
>>149498928
Please no
>>149499004
NO
>>149499004
You've got to be kidding me.
>>149497988
Well, this is certainly unexpected.
What was the point of this chapter even.
>>149499004
Not like this
>>149498415
Is this today's how cute?
>>149499062
For suffering.
>>149499004
What I find interesting here is how different their faces look. Usually Shirogane has the milder, gentler look while Kaguya looks sharper, more focused.
Now it's reversed. Kaguya looks almost depressed while Shirogane looks pissed off.
>>149499004
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jcRlGlu199o
>>149498090
Holy timeskips.
>>149499004
>>149499062
Probably just buildup
>>149498478
Funny how Hayasaka is exactly like President imagines Kaguya to be.
>>149499004
AKA
>>149499004
>>149499004
Now I have to go to sleep feeling depressed.
Well, that was uber depressing. I guess it's kinda important as to really really show how strong their feelings for each other are.
>>149499004
Why does my heart feel so heavy.
>>149498970
But they have always at least recognized each other as acquaintances at least. Before that, the stalemate has mostly been about things strictly related to love relationships, not just doing things that people knowing each other might do.
>>149498928
Son of a fucking bitch.
>>149499004
Motherfucker.
Much thanks.
>>149499062
To show a contrast in how their feelings have grown compared to the beginning. If this was the old Kaguya, she would have pulled some shit like faking a discount sale to lure him out and "casually" meet him there, but after being more self aware in the latest chapters, they're both afraid to pursue love.
I enjoy the melancholic feel of this chapter, but I want more battles already. I'm afraid we're kissing their plotting and conspiring selves goodbye.
>>149499004
I want kaguya scans to be earlier just as much as the next guy, but the threads aren't going to be anywhere near as active for a few weeks. If you plan on doing this you should probably put up a notice on the Thursday thread or something
>>149499505
Now I think that was a bit tad negative. Their plotting and conspiring occurs when they are together, in which their pride is at their highest and they don't want to lose to each other.
However, as we can see, when their on their own, they began to think more deeply about their relationship, and thus something like this chapter occurs. Their progress will be probably be admitting this to themselves, then to each other and then finally to the masses(probably the penultimate arc).
>>149499004
AKAAAAA
>>149497988
Based.
Who was the playmate Fujiwara was based on?
>>149497988
Dem multiple Fujiwara's Fujiwaras
>>149499601
Well there wasn't any chapter last week so no thread, and I can't say I'm committing to anything until I actually know if it's going to work out or not.
>>149498147
So little words for this summer vacation
All those for sucks
>>149498357
>>149498415
Exaggerations aside, I think this is a very familiar feeling for someone who is just shy and afraid of their own selves when approaching something like love. I love how Aka really nailed the awkward teenager views on love.
>>149499004
AKA
>>149498415
>Subtle how cute
How cute
>>149498439
I wonder when is Kaguya going to get mad and fire Hayasaka.Only to find out she really needs her and brings her back
>Fujiwara was on vacation when this happened
So much for her being the heroine.
>>149500024
This happened just because the heroine wasn't there.
>>149498848
>>149498792
Holy shit indeed
>>149499844
Welcome to moonrunes.
>Half a month has passed
How far into summer is the festival?
>>149500226
Given the date in >>149498189 it's about one week away.
>>149500226
Assuming the festival is on the last week, they still got 3 weeks to go. I would assume pres would have some friends to hang out with though
>>149499004
>N/A
More like both lost. Hard.
I'm guessing if Kaguya gets an anime it would end when this is resolved. Seems fitting I think.
>>149499004
Which one do you think will SWALLOW THEIR FUCKING PRIDE AND GO FOR IT ALREADY JESUS CHRIST first?
>>149500332
Both.
>>149500332
Well when that happens, the series is over.
>>149500450
Aka says otherwise.
>>149500332
Neither. They'll move to university, lose contact eventually (the only way for they to get together being Fujiwara inviting them somewhere once in a while), then reminisce about how much time they lost due to their pride.
Then one day they'll meet. Prez being a young executive for his firm goes to a business related party, she being a Shinomiya is there, he thinks this is destiny, attempts to go talk to her and then sees her child in her lap and goes away. She'll see him, give her niece back to her sister, go after him but sees him talking with another girl, thinking it's his fiancé, goes back and tells her mother she agrees to the meetings for marriage she was holding back for years.
>>149500651
Makoto Shinkai please leave forever.
>>149500651
Does Ishigami factor into this somehow, or has Kaguya already had him assassinated by this point?
>>149500786
Ishigami is his vice president, having completely taken over the role in his life Kaguya once had.
>>149499004
Why you do this to me Aka.
>>149500519
>>149500450
I guess he could get them dating and continue the plot of who is more head over heels for the other being the one standing bad in their relationship, or turn it completely and get them trying to outdo each other in showing their love (in a tasteful way, no cheesiness).
As long as he doesn't just start making chapters about the secondary characters' relationships like Horimiya is doing.
>>149500881
bitterness makes the coffee so much sweeter
>>149500786
Ishigami keeps being his bro through college and they get together to bitch about women over beers once in a while
>>149500875
That's pretty gay man.
Not many crops to make this chapter.
>>149500742
I was thinking of making them actually get together while writing it but it felt cheesy and unreal.
>>149500651
You're a monster.
>>149500651
I fucking hate you.
>>149500651
Fuck you.
>>149498928
>>149499004
w-where'd the funny go
>>149500332
because the series would have pretty much ended at chapter 1 if they did rational things
>>149501054
>>149501071
>>149501108
Uhmm. Maybe I should be a writer
>>149501164
Fuck you
They need that one Facebook app they banned that tells them when they like each other if both fill it.
>>149499004
this
this is NOT comfy
>>149501267
Japan banned Tinder?
>>149498928
>>149499004
DELETE THIS
>>149497988
That's the eldest Fujiwara in the front right?
>>149497988
That's the eldest Fujiwara in the front, rignt? Is she the serious one?
>>149501495
Not sure if Fujimom or Fujinee-chan
>>149499004
Thankie, this was a pretty depressing episode.
>>149497988
I'll never get tired of seeing the stalker with the exact same distraught expression in the background of panels
>>149501438
Fuck, maybe I'm getting old
>>149499004
I needed a pick-me-up
This wasn't it
>>149499004
Fucking killing me Aka.
This is probably the most depressing Kaguya thread I've seen
>>149498544
>>149498711
>>149498744
I love the change in the art here to show how blindingly hot it's supposed to be. It just looks like it's baking. Most mangaka wouldn't even bother. They'd just have a character thinking to themselves, 'wow it's so hot' and not even bother letting the art say anything.
>>149500139
>This happened just because the heroine wasn't there.
That's actually kind of true. If Fujiwara were there she would drag them all out somewhere together.
>>149500651
Kill yourself.
>>149498928
ITSUDEMO SAGASHITEIRU YO
>>149499004
Tried to call...but my pride wouldn't let me dial...
Sitting here...with this blank expression...
and the way I feel... I wanna curl up like a child
>>149498928
>>149499004
>>149500907
Ok, now the true end. They loss contact during college, but Shirogane works hard in his firm because he knows getting to the top is the only way for him to meet Shinomiya again.
She works for her mother as her right hand and is know to be ruthless and keeps using her focus in her job ad the excuse to keep postponing the marriage interviews her mother tries to set up for her.
Then one day at a convention they meet. Eye to eye, there's no escape. They greet each other as polite and professionally as they can. Then Shirogane invites her for a drink to get away from all the crowd at the convention. Kaguya talks about Fujiwara's wedding last month, casually mentioning she's still single, says she was expecting to meet him there but he was in a business trip to France, his French is spotless now.
Shirogane drinks his martini in one go and begins. There's something I've been meaning to tell you for a long time. Kaguya is speechless. But I've grown ass a man now and I've been waiting for the moment I could see you again to tell you. I, regarding Shinomiya, I li-. Kaguya stops him with her hand while pouting a little. It took you too long, I've been waiting too, you know. Who do you think had to arrange things for your company to be invited to this convention, she thought to herself. I like you Shinomiya. He cuts in. Saying it as clear as the crystal of his empty glass. I like you too, president.
>>149502435
True end would be both of them moving on. Shinomiya marrying some other son of a company, even falling in love with him and all that. Living a happy life. President lives a nice life too. Finds a woman, falls in love, marries here has two kids. They both still kind of think about each other and wonder what they're up to, but nothing more than that. They recall how foolish they were back in their days. How they actually thought they were in love.
>>149499004
Finally somewhere i can post AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
>>149502545
>>149502545
Shirogane tells things to his son, so he doesn't make the same mistakes he did.
>>149497988
>Fujiwara onee-san
>>149499004
I HURT MYSELF TODAY
>>149502613
The next day the son goes to his first day in highschool, falls in love with the president at first sight during her speech, she's Shinomiya's daughter.
>>149499004
Remember your bro! Go do foolish things with boys. Kaguya, try to meet his imouto. You can still win her heart.
>>149502646
Truth is, Prez hasn't been happy with his marriage. Shinomiya's on the verge of divorce because of a failed business acquisition that was her husband's fault. It's back to school night at the school. Parents are encouraged to visit the campus and see what their children have been up to. After his sons insistence, Prez goes. Wonder who he meets...
>>149502720Fujiwara
>>149502821
She's the principal now. And Ishigami is her stay-at-home husband, taking care of their daughter.
>>149502821
No unfortunately Fujiwara died in a skiing accident
>implying this chapter isn't Fujiwara using her deus ex powers to make them not meet as a payback for last chapter
>>149502903
That's what they told the press so she could retire after a long career as the prime minister.
>>149497988
What exactly is Ishigami doing there? Hitchhiking across Japan?
>>149503096
I don't think that's Ishigami though. That guy has a beard.
Next chapter Shirogane attempts to go back home and Kaguya is still there at the entrance looking sad.
I miss Ishigami.
>>149503185
He's probably playing videogames at home all day. He'll probably even forget the festival so Kaguya and Shirogane have to go alone.
>>149499062
Skip through the summer vacation (which has low potential for interesting chapters without supporting cast), show how they're literally bored out of their minds without each other but still won't be honest, could see it serving as a sort of wake-up call that causes them to act out in some way.
>>149503227
That sounds like him alright.
>>149503032
Anon, you don't need godly powers to make Kaguya and Prez be retards about love.
Just as you don't need godly powers to make fish breathe in water or make swallows fly in the sky.
>>149500651
Shinomiya doesn't have a sister. She's an only child.
>>149503126
Ishigami grew a beard?!
>>149503331
Maybe it's a disguise.
>>149499004
Just fuck my shit up Aka. When he writes a romcom he does great, but this heavy stagnant atmosphere, filled with helplessness is the reason I got hooked with ib to begin with.
>>149499004
>>149503331
I hope Ishigami returns with that beard and gets slightly ripped.
It hurts so much looking at someone making my mistakes.I hope he will end up better than me
>>149503771
I hope Ishigami ends up in an isekai, and returns with a harem of chicks.
>>149504314
Fantasy Autralia with Kazuma, he'd fit right in.
>>149497988
Do they know that stalker-chan is right behind them? Poor girl must feel bad being a NTRd third wheel...
>>149505038
She's not even good at stalking, tbfh.
Look at her, right out in the open.
Damn amateur.
>>149505386
She's not stalking.
Look at those dead eyes.
She's about to commit first degree murder.
>>149498879
>>149498928
>>149499004
Fucking Aka.
How can he make me get so hooked up in a rush cruise only to crush my feelings in the end? Is this Ib?
>>149499004
this is how it should be, it would've been a really forced coincidence anyway and they shouldn't meet out of luck but they should swallow their pride and approach one another, with that said.
ALL AROUND ME ARE FAMILIAR FACES
>>149498478
>Well, I can understand that.
>You want to feel that pleasure again, don't you?
>You just can't forget how it felt.
>>149505719
IT JUST WRITES ITSELF
>>149499004
I wish you 2 would just fuck already
>>149505598
She's not good at that either then, doing it in broad daylight.
No imprisonment, no torture, no humiliation, 0/10 yandere.
>>149505746
>How cute.
>>149499004
AKA YOU MOTHERFUCKER
>>149505629
You know what, I can agree with that.
As much as I wanted it to happen, it would have been really forced indeed.
And it shows again Aka's genius at work, setting up a cliche and smashing it right in front of our noses yet again.
>>149505386
I bet she's not even stalking there; she asked them if she could join them on a walk around town, expecting she could inspire some feelings of jealousy and get herself into the guy's thoughts.
And then she gets completely ignored.
>>149499004
Next chapter is healing right guys?
R-right?
Okay but wait aren't they meeting for the Festival or is that much later?
>>149498357
>Yes
Oh God, that's great
>>149499004
>>149505962
Poor stalker; will she ever find love? Will she ever manage to at least score a threesome?
>>149497988
Stalker-chan in the background
>>149498415
This is the text Fujiwara sent her in the past when she was expecting Shirogane's
>>149499004
This hurt so bad, I was hoping the entire time. I hope this doesn't turn into "surely the other side doesn't like me" and dissolve into nothing
>>149500651
Kill yourself, please.
Woah this chapter
Felt like something out of a real romance series. 9/10
>>149507674
It feels like ITSUDEMO SAGASHITEIRU YO.
>>149507674
Kaguya is going to go the full romance suffering route, isn't it?
>>149503317
Right, cousin then.
>>149503317
Hasn't that been very inconsistent?
She had a nephew in chapter 14.
No change this time.
I swear to god if this gets bad ending I'm never reading anything by Aka again
>>149498478
THE PLEASURE OF RECEIVING TEXTS FROM PRESIDENT
>>149498928
KUBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
>>149498544
if only she spent a little more time on the way Kaguya looked.
I'm excited and happy when I saw this and now I'm sad. Thank you Aka.
>>149499004
Far too real;_;
>>149498544
Kaguya should have worked towards making her run into someone. Force his part time job to have a holiday, make the principal call him, something. She has the power.
>Early Kaguya thread
Yes.
>That ending
Fucking no.
>>149499004
;_;
>>149498792
Sensei will ter her about President being there and they'll met, I'm feeling it.
>>149507979
That would still make her an only child. Doesn't matter how huge her family is, no bro or sis mean she an only child.
>>149509520
You need a sibling to have a nephew, unless they count children of cousins in Japan or something.
>>149499004
NTR route when?
>>149499004
I JUST WANT THEM TO BE HAPPY DAMNIT
>>149500651
>lose contact eventually (the only way for they to get together being Fujiwara inviting them somewhere once in a while)
You speaking from person experience anon?
>>149499004
I KNOW SOME DAY YOU'LL HAVE A BEAUTIFUL LIFE
I KNOW YOU'LL BE A STAR
IN SOMEBODY ELSE'S SKY
>>149502545
Make the president marry Fujiwara and I would love that ending.
>>149508078
It will get a good ending, just not the one you want. I learned from ib you know.
One of these days Kaguya is going to lose it and goes full Gasai Yuno Yandere on Shirogane and kidnaps him.
>>149498852
>>149498801
Fujiwara said she was the middle child, the bombshell must be the eldest sister.
>>149498928
What the fuck Aka, stop bullying your main characters, this is a romcom.
This chapter made me sad
>>149499004
Why
>>149499004
oh god
>>149498928
>>149514880
what
>>149514880
You need to mirror the third panel.
>>149514880
Flip the first, he should be running to the right.
What on earth spurred you to create this?
>>149516273
>>149516622
What did he make? I can't understand this.
>>149514880
How the hell do I read this? Normal manga style?
>>149516273
>>149516622
You guys are right, I wanted to keep the panels as close to the original as possible, but then I somehow excused myself from how that last panel works.
As for what spurred me to make this, terrible 3 AM decision?
>>149516833
But what is it?
>>149516622
>What on earth spurred you to create this?
Fuckin memes duh xD
>>149498225
>>149498867
>>149501556
>>149505038
>>149507029
>>149507054
I don't even remember her, when did she appear again?
>>149517764
Pretty much every chapter with the love advice couple, look closely to their left. One of them she was only in the volume extra though.
>>149517816
Oh shit, god dammit Aka.
>>149516833
Did...did you just...why? Why would you make this. Let the meme die anon. Let it die.
>>149517435
It's your loss that you don't get a pretty old meme.
>>149517435
A miserable little pile of secrets.
But enough talk. HAVE AT THEE!
>>149518088
>It's your loss
Is it really now?
>>149498928
Kisamaaaaa
>>149500651
Nice one. Theres no happy ending in Aka's story.
>>149499004
Aww. at least our man Ishigami set them up for the end of the vacation.
>>149498291
>>149498357
This author sure knows how to point out the obvious.
>>149498744
>>149498792
>>149498879
>>149498928
I like this development honestly. Not everything should be served on silver platter.
>>149519569
makes sense you like it you ntr loving faggot
>>149520282
How does this relate to ntr? I imagine it as them realizing they wont get lucky and they have to take initiative to start something.
>>149520604
>>149519506
I meant to quote that.
>>149498357
>YES
And i ask again, who would be fit o be the narrator of this story.
>>149521917
And again the answer will be the Kaiji narrator. Or the Sabagebu narrator if they aren't the same person.
>>149498928
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
>>149521917
I'd go with Mahito Oba, myself. He has this dignity that I think would work well with the tone of the series.
Aka seems to be getting more comfortable with writing longer narratives. There was only one chapter between this and the big falling out.
>>149499004
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K1fVQGESUTo
This was a good chapter
I want more serious ones instead of the usual gag
>>149524656
I just hope it doesn't turn too dark
>>149527134
>not liking edgy darkness
Get out
>>149498544
>A man denied his tsundere VP
>>149498617
That eyes though. Very appealing to lick.
>>149528456
>licking eyes
>>149517435
>>149499004
Thanks.
>>149529375
Oh fuck i remember this
>>149499004
>>149509912
No, I never had a Fujiwara to make me keep in touch.
>>149529375
>this actually happened
I thought it was just a joke of Yahtzee's.
>>149531113
It didn't happen anon. It's just a shitty web comic.
>>149531143
No, as in, someone actually drawing that actually happened.
>>149498439
Is it possible for a maid to be this smug?
>>149531657
Were you unaware of the genius that is Timbo Fuckley or are you just standing back in awe remembering that this was a thing?
>>149533391
Hayasaka is more of an onee-san/maid figure to Kaguya.
>>149533919
Hayasaka is younger than Kaguya
>>149498544
>lets fix your cute long hair and turn it into a weird duck's tail
Why Hayasaka, why.
>>149536077
