What happened with chapter three onward? I know a different scan group took over but are all of their scans written like this? Typos like "sau" and "onl" are everywhere, words aren't in sentences where they're supposed to be, and the weird way people talk. It's so off compared to the first two chapters. It got so bad in the final chapter that it hindered any emotions that chapter was trying to convey. Honestly, if it wasn't for the fact that I felt this would've been a fine 6/10 for me and I wouldn’t’ve wanted to drop it after chapter three.
I really hope a new group picks up volume two and comes back to retranslation volume one because it needs so much help.
As for the story itself; it was just “fine”. I wasn't that invested in them but they also didn't bother me as much as the couple from Living With Him (mostly) and My Home, Your One-Room did. But the unnecessary conflict at the end was pretty dumb. I felt there could’ve been a buildup of them trying to be together and transitioning their friends-with-benefits relationship over to official couple status that Shunpie wanted. Instead, we got Shunpie being in his own head, not listening to Kota even when Kota said he wanted to go out with him, and lack of communication mainly from Shunpie.
I wasn’t too in love with how standoff-ish Shunpie was, but also the possessive lover thing he showed towards Kota and Kota basically saying he'll give up his sense of self, his own person, to be with Shunpie. It's weird, I hate it... Maybe the couple from My Home, Your One-Room was better... I do plan on reading vol 2 as long as someone else picks this up <3.
