When I said I was obsessed with this series I meant it. The first thing I did after I woke up was check comicwalker for any updates.Anyways, here you go.Who's the mystery girl from Tokyo?
>>282227960
>>282227969Where Nozomu? Want Nozomu, Sou search for Nozomu!
>>282227986She couldn't find a carboard box.Those things are sneaky!
>>282228001Tacchan telling Nozomu off for disappearing and not telling them anything.I still don't know Tacchan's gender.
>>282228032Ton Ton is begging Nozomu to tell him that the rumour about him, the sticks of butter and the Rock is a lie.
>>282228067Explaining in progress
>>282228081Girlfriend, girlfriend, girlfriend...
>>282228093Dramatic running!
>>282228104Wait, whose girlfriend?!
>>282228119"You damn harem romcom protag!" said TonTon misunderstanding everything.
>>282228137Gramps reflecting upon his life choices.
>>282228145The sun's setting, they come out at night!
>>282228159How do I read timetable?
>>282228167Sou, what's the zombie shambling?!
>>282228183Are we heading towards a nice boat incident?
And that's it.We still don't know what happened exactly.The only thing that's clear is that a senpai from the basketball senpai was harrassing the new girl and got seriously injured after Nozomu got involved.
Clean-kun here, like I've written earlier I don't really have time for scanlation anymore because of my job, so I hope that someone can take over the cleaning/redrawing role. I've upscaled the raws in the mega.https://mega.nz/folder/HFt0Ga5S#eHyVpaCdsRDqjpHySQFQYQ
>>282228241That's the gist of it. Nozomu left without saying anything, and the rumour was he got in a fight with a basketball club senpai and got injured. This indeed was the case as the senpai harassed the girl his friends brought with them. The friends misunderstood that the girl was his girlfriend and Sou eavesdropped only that bit of the conversation and felt NTR'd and ran away. The friends misread the timetables and missed the last train back to city so the grampa probably is going to invite them to stay over.
>>282228481Thanks for upscaling them.
>>282229269You're welcome, I use upscayl with ultramix balanced, I think they look fairly well.
>>282228032please be a girl
>>282228241>>282228502I doubt Nozomu went ballistic but it would be pretty funny if he actually went feral and injured the dude
>>282229821Probably a small shove and the senpai tried to sue Nozomo(because it's not japan if the harasser doesn't get his way)
>>282228481OP here, thanks for the upscaling, I'll try to shake some trees and see what falls down but don't expect too much.Ultimately, I might give it a go myself. Which means re-learning everything as the last time I cleaned anything I was still using PS7. And I hated cleaning, using the clone tool to recreate chunks of background never looked quite right, and I have no real skills at redrawing.
>>282229896You can get pretty far with content aware fill in newer versions of photoshop. I'd recommend getting at least CC15, it performs a lot better than CS6.Another alternative is AI generative fill. The photoshop one is expensive, but there is free alternatives that works nearly as well. An alternative is IOPaint.https://www.iopaint.com/It can be somewhat cumbersome to install, so here's a small guide.https://forums.mangadex.org/threads/free-ai-generative-fill-iopaint-lama-cleaner-install-guide.2292537/Honestly if you go through the pages first with AI generative fill (doesn't work that well with screentones though) and then the rest with content aware fill (screentones work better, but you might need to use clone tool), you can do like over 95 percent of the redrawing with pretty decent results.
I said that I'd prefer for the whole noodle incident that brought Nozomu to the island to remain a mystery. At first glance, it looks like Inuchiku is meeting that expectation halfway, in the sense that we're getting the broad strokes of the incident but not the exact details.That might change in the following chapters though.>>282229821>>282229868From what I could tell from the MTL, Nozomu says it wasn't even a fight, so I'm guessing more of a shoving match. In my headcanon, stairs were involved.From there my itoko-addled brain jumped to two things.First Nozomu said he caused trouble for his school, we now know the injured guy was in the basketball club, he might have been the basketball club's star player and the key for the school to compete in the prefecturals, without him, any hopes of the school of actually winning said tournaments are gone.We also see the girl visiting the hospital and being told about his condition. There is some kind of connection between them. That makes me think that the girl might actually be the injured guy's girlfriend, whom being a sports ace and quite likely an entitled, tall shit, might have been trying to force himself upon the girl.From there, if we assume there was only one injured party, I can easily see everyone getting mad at Nozomu. The school lost the chance to win some sports awards, and the boy's family might have put pressure on the girl to stay quiet.Dayum, that's a lot of speculation and braintime dedicated to a cute little romcom.
>>282229868>Probably a small shove and the senpai tried to sue Nozomo(because it's not japan if the harasser doesn't get his way)they don't have the same sue mindset in Japan, but it's more the shamefur dispray attitudeI think it was fairly well shown in that shinkai movie garden of words or whatever it wasit's all about appearences and looking good to the public and not shaming the family or company basicallyof course you have that elsewhere as well, but japan takes it to extremes
>>282230303>noodle incidentyeah that would've probably been the best, but I don't think the majority of readers really care that much about the mystery really. I doubt anyone is going to care that much or drop the manga because the reveal wasn't up to par. like people read this because of feet and incest shenanigans
>>282230404It's less about the incident itself and more about the funny situations in can bring forth, like Sou feeling NTR'd this chapter.
>>282228145Bro grandad will bless the wincest.
>>282230748>like Sou feeling NTR'd this chapter.>inb4 it's BSS, not NTR
>>282230379Well threat of lawsuit like in P5

stay frosty cousinbros
Op here, itokobros as clean-kun is no longer able to help, recruitment is open and ongoing. Anyone with cleaning skills and willing, please don't hesitate to step forward.
>>282233394That pretty much describes Cletus' family tree.
Page 10? This needs to stay bumped until the translator and editor see it.
>>282236238>>282236244Bumpmind
>>282230303>We also see the girl visiting the hospital and being told about his conditionWhen was this? This chapter
>>282237211Chapter 37.5Right before the girl hears about them going off to where Nozomu is.
>>282237551At least I assumed it was the hospital it could have been the school nurse for all we know.What we see is someone in a white lab coat telling her that the guy will eventually come back to school...She doesn't seem thrilled at the idea.
>>282228196I need yandere sou
>>282228183>>282228196Mikoto!
Bump
bamp
>>282228145Is grandad disappointed he might not get cousinfucking?
Haha yes Itoko. I'm going to translate the chapter keep the thread up for an hour or so.
>>282243639sir yes sir
I'm actually sad that we need to keep the thread alive.Itokofags represent!Anyways I'm looking forward to Kagozaki and Sou sharing a bedroom.
>>282244289/a/ as a whole is quite dead
>>282227960You piece of garbage...You were 100% right! This is a quality work and I'm sorry for my constant dismissal of it over the last year. Thank you!
>>282244289>Kagozaki and SouI need Mikoto in there too.
>>282244423/a/ has been dead for years, but that doesn't mean that there's fun here once in a while. but sadly it's mostly overrun by shills, and it mostly feel like you're only seeing commercials here every day
>>282244463Glad to have you on board.>>282244471That is something I didn't know I needed until now.
what will his friends say when they realize Sou is dating his 13 years old tomboy cousin.
Guys, I know, I shouldn't be showing off how far my autism goes regarding this series.But I think I found Sou's school.
>>282244841"You lucky bastard!"Unless Tacchan turns out to be a girl then it'll be just: "You bastard!"
>>282244841Isn't she still 12 years old? Iirc she's still JS6 and not starting middle school until next year.
>>282244859You're step closer to getting your own Sou anon!
>>282245024>You're step closer to getting your own Sou anon!brb traveling to japan to pick up a js6 from a school out in the sticksdo you think I'll get her through customs though?
>>282245379Maybe, depends on what you label her as.>>282245024I was just checking google maps for the hell of it.Imagine my surprise when I found that: "Oh, there really IS an elementary school right next to a middle school in Kamishima".
>>282245612>Maybe, depends on what you label her as.gonna label her as mai daughteru
This chapter took a while...>>2822279601:Chapter 38: My cousin and a girl from the big city.
>>2822279692:Ah, there you are![sfx] step step stepHow was my dancing~?It was really cool!Yep, it was awesome.[small] For sure the flashiest number.Hehe~[small] Wasn’t it! <3[sfx] high fiveGood Job![small] You can take it easy now.…Where’s Nozomu-kun?Ah… uh…
>>2822279863:?[small] What?Uh… well…[small] What can I say…He’ll probably be back soon?[sfx above sou] Antsy, antsyHmmm…[small] Then,I’ll go look for him!!Ah!

To come here like this…[sfx by girl] Ugh...It’ll be fiiine.As long as we get back before anyone notices.Ehh…[small] Jump in there already.---The PIP box is meant to be these things they have in variety shows with people's reactions to what's on screen. If you want to get meme-y you could put "Live Sasaki Reaction" there, it's kind of a fourth wall comment. It says 2nd because his reaction was shown a chapter ago.
>>2822280325:…He’s talking to people I don’t know.But more importantly!Why am I hiding?There are some weird rumors going around the school.And even you seem to be hiding something, Non-chan.So we came to ask you what happened directly!…You came all the way here just for that...Yep, we came *all the way here* for this, so surely you’ll talk, right? [like, he won't be able to lie in person]
>>2822280676:…Sorry.[small] My bad.[sfx sea gull noise] Myaah Myahh…So, what are those rumors?…That you got in a fight with a senpai in the basketball club.And that you hurt him real bad.…At least that’s what I’ve heard.
>>2822280817:…It’s what he was telling me about in the airport...…I might’ve caused some problems in my old school.…Probably……Those have to be made up, right?…The part I hurt him is true.Re…really…?But it wasn’t really a fight.…I don’t know if I should be asking this now, but,---Actually if we can find the exact airport scene for the flashback pane it'll be better to use the exact phrasing.
>>2822280938:Did it have something to do with your *girlfriend* over there?She said she’d follow us with a super serious face,So we ended up bringing her along…[sfx] Creaky neck turn!?She didn't speak on the way here at all!…Girlfriend....?Girlfriend…??
>>2822281049:Oh,Speaking of the devil, there’s Sou-chan.Hoh!Oh!Sou~[sfx] step step stepGood job out—there…[sfx] stepHuh?I wonder what happened…[sfx] step stepKuni-san, were you in the middle of something?---I can't tell if Kuni-san is the grandfather or the one he's talking to lol
>>28222811910:Wh… What are you even saying!?[small] Girlfriend??Eh?[small] She’s not?Excuse…Excuse me!!That’s not it!I’m not Isama-kun’s girlf—He… [she started saying girlfriend but stopped mid word because of embarrassment, pls rephrase]He was just trying to save me from that senpai..!But then when I realized, things had turned out like this...Hey, hey,Are you for real…
>>28222813711:That’s super cool actually!![small] Why would you hide that from us, you dumbass.Is it!?I get it… so you guys started dating after that…I’m telling you that’s not it…!![small] Hell yeah, dude.I’m not…Uh,Huh?Sorry…[sfx] BowAh,I'm Ka…Kagosaki.Huh!? You didn’t even know her name!!?
>>28222814512:…Anyway, that was the first and only time I met Kagosaki-san…![small] So give it a rest with the girlfriend stuff!Boooring……Hm? So that means,That this Kagosaki-san? here knew the whole situation all along…?[small] Why didn’t you tell us?[sfx] Gulp…I thought that since Isama-kun didn’t tell you, it something I wasn’t supposed to talk about…Oh, come on…I'm sorry…Is *everyone* here keeping secrets from us?I said I’m sorry…Tell me about it.
>>28222815913:…I won’t keep secrets from you guys anymore.Since it seems like you’ll find me wherever I go.…As long as you get it.I’m begging you here.Alrighty, let’s hear the whole story. We’ve got time.Ahaha… [small] Is this an interrogation?…You’ve got time?…Speaking of that, Do you guys have a place to stay tonight?[small] It’s getting dark already.Hm? No.I told you already, we've got to get back today.[small] Before anyone notices.Eh!? Wa… wait a second.
>>28222816714:…You guys probably won’t make it…?[on screen] Last train: 4:18pm…Hmm!?Do you have anywhere to……That’s not a person's face.*[small] You aged too much…[sfx] Grin.Tonton sounded like he knew what he was doing, but turns out that wasn't the case at all...[small] Though I was vaguely starting to realize it.Oh!

Looking into it, and I *think* it's a reference to Jigoku Sensei Nube. This X post explains the meme: https://x.com/oginomatomewiki/status/1489837241166077954

ITOKOBROTHERS, ITOKOSISTERS, ITOKO...COUSINS!!!
>>282246090Thanks a lot TL-anon!
>her smile and optimism: gone
>>282246332Yes, the little gremlin will suffer. I feel joy.
>>282246090Thank you anon!!
>>282246937Also, this page has turned me on and I shall be buying this to support the author's perversion (which are exactly my own).
>>282247156Oi those hands
>>282246332I don't like despair Sou, it doesn't feel rightWe need the smile back ASAP
Thank you TL-Anon
>>282246090Thanks a lot, I'll start typesetting this and cleaning as I go.
One thing I dislike about MTL is that transalation is an art in and of itself, sometimes a translator must rewrite entire sentences to convey the finer nuances.>>282246090>>Done. Please proofread and let me know if anything doesn't make sense or follow logically. There were a few lines I had to look up this time.Translator-anon is very good at his job and the translation reads very fluidly. There are, however one or two places where I feel it stumbles slightly and he does ask for proofreading.As such I have some suggestions:>>282245773The "Live Sasaki Reaction" suggestion is brilliant and I fully endorse it!>>282245808>>Yep, we came *all the way here* for this, so surely you’ll talk, right? [like, he won't be able to lie in person]Yep, we came *all the way here* for this, so that I could look you square in the eye when I ask you about what really happened.(Or, since word balloon space is always at a premium "when I ask you about it")>>282245877>> I can't tell if Kuni-san is the grandfather or the one he's talking to lolI'd say there's a good chance Kuni is grandpa's name due to the lack of tail in the word balloon, and that at this point there's really no point to giving us the fisherman's name.
>>282249470Continued...>>282246058>We’re going to have >>282228196>a celebration>party after thisI'd suggest to keep the old, tried and true term "after-party" here.And that's it really, it's a testament's to TL-kun's ability that these are really the only bits I had to nitpick about.
Guys, I'm going to place an order for the physical books.This is the first time I've done this, CDjapan looks good enough. They ship via DHL at a "reasonable" price, but are there any other stores I should check out as well? Other than Amazon of course.
>>282250166I like CDJapan. You can get shipping cheaper if you buy in really big bulk at Amazon Japan, but I've had issues with payment there. CDJapan just werks.CDJapan has stages of payment for shipping. So you pay the samme shipping for like 1 to 3 books, four to six books, seven to nine books. So if you have something else you want to buy, you might want to add that since shipping is the same. Just use the shipping calculation tool to see if you hit the next stage or not, but for normal tankoubons it's usually three, six, and nine or something like that. Bonkoubons are a little lighter so you can usually fit more in.
Have you guys seen the new store exclusive illustrations? Who am I kidding, of course you have.The censorship most likely isn't actually hiding anything, but there's always an off chance that we're getting new Sou-chan lewds. They seem very cute so it's a win anyway.
>>282250166At one point I liked Honto.jp but can't remember why. I used it a ton back in the day. King shit @ buying the itokos tho Anon.
>>282251969Honto had free or low shipping, but it doesn't work anymore. I tried joining a couple years ago but wasn't able to get them to ship overseas. I think it's probably five years ago or something they stopped? It most likely had to do with covid.
>>282249145Thanks a lot TS-anon! Ganbare!
>>282251166CDjapan is it then.I'm buying 11 books, the 4 Itoko volumes and the 7 volumes from Sumire-Chan.Those two series are the ones I'm currently obsessed enough to buy japanese books as a show of support for the authors.Also, I'm probably never going to see these two series published locally. They're way too niche.Sorry jagafans I do like her work a lot, just not that much.I'm basically buying books I cannot read.Time to learn some japanese.
>>282251716free sou's nipple
>>282227960Can you Itokotards give a list of anime/manga where it ends with a monogamous cousin relationship?
>>282252840>Time to learn some japanese.Genki 1https://files.catbox.moe/sronwq.zipGenki 2https://files.catbox.moe/mt4rtu.zipGenki teacherhttps://files.catbox.moe/hrnkdx.zipHiragana/Katakana/Kangxi radicals Anki decks and Yotsuba Learning Packhttps://files.catbox.moe/9x3me2.ziphttps://djtguide.github.io/
It is done.The funny thing is that; even with the shipping and VAT. Each book costs about the same or slightly cheaper than a local edition.Japanese tankobons are insultingly cheap.
>>282253131Neko no Otera no Chion-san
>>282253670>Japanese tankobons are insultingly cheap.They're also not as nice when it comes to paper and print quality as the ones you get in the west, especially when compared to some of the fancier editions.
>>282253812I know, that's how they get away with that price.I fully expect the paper to be much rougher and nowhere near as white as the editions I'm used to.The fancier editions (Kanzenban and such) that use better quality paper are much pricier.
>>282254090I may sound like I'm trashing them but honestly I'm fine with it. For ~700 yen I'm not going to complain. I've seen some anons order japanese tankos and freak out when they got a volume that didn't look like their usual 'murican volume so I wanted to warn you just in case.You're based for ordering them though, I want them too but I'll wait until publication is over just in case my local publishers miraculously pick it up I also really don't want to get raped by shipping + customs + taxes multiple times
>>282249145TS-Anon-sama, I posted a thread for Koibumi 34.5 as well >>>282254893 in case you're still in this thread.
>>282253670nice anon>>282253812yeah, but still they're a fourth of the price
>>282246332Poor Sou-chan, she loves him so much lol. Nozomu will have to unfuck this properly and not just go "haha no that was just a misunderstanding lol haha soz Sou-chan please don't kill yourself ok"hug and kiss on the cheek plz inuchiku
Itokobros..............................
>>282255027Thanks, I'll do that afterwards.
>>282255582I'm actually excited about finding out what payment she's gonna extract from Nozomu as compensation for making her feel like that.She's gonna get her pound of flesh.
bampu
It is time to say goodbye...
>>282229896latest version of photoshop has content fill aware or something liek that that helps with certain backgrounds, there's also the healing spot tool which helps a lot. Clone Stamp tool is rarely used, but it's still important for certain stuff. Overall it's better to use all the tools are your disposal
>>282255582She's still unware of sex, so my bet is that she'll ask for a kiss and be EXTREMELY clingy and glued to nozomu for a while, more than before.
so many nice reaction faces in this chapter. Thank you to TL, Cleaner and Typeset anons.>>282251716>Aoi pits in meido outfitYES
>>282253323You're a beautiful soul and I love you If I study 1 - 2 hours a day, do you think I'll know basic Japanese in 10 years?
>>282262041She teased him thinking he had porn on his phone so she's not that oblivious.She'd rape him out of pure instinct anyway lmao.But you're probably right, the clinginess and demands for affection will be off the charts, if we're lucky it'll push her to be even more proactive when it comes to Nozomu, and I can't even imagine what that would mean considering the shit she pulled right in front of her parents in chapter 36.
>>282262445You'll probably be good enough to read simple Japanese in half a year if I had to guess.
>>282262452>She teased him thinking he had porn on his phone so she's not that oblivious.I don't think kids that age are that into stuff like that, but then again it's far easier watching porn and stuff these days than it was 20 years ago, so you can probably expect that kids are a bit more precocious these days than before, at least for boys if I had to guess
>>282262548She doesn't have a smart phone, tough, and she thought the advertisement for a hero wars knock off was pornography. She's using horny instinct to move her forward.
>>282262548He's a 14yo boy with a smartphone and unrestricted access to the internet, make of that what you will. Sou is a 12yo girl, that age implies a certain amount of knowledge about the human body, she may not know much more than pp + jayjay = baby, but she absolutely learned about procreation either through school, her mother giving her "the talk" or simply curiosity.Yes, I gave this shit way too much thought and I may or may not have issues.
>>282262658she has some second had iphone as per recent chapters, she even sent some pics of herself with nozomu to Mikoto.My headcanon is that while she did it with no malice, she's just asserting her dominance over nozomu to mikoto. Like if she were saying>Back off, homewrecker! He is my man!
