So if you wanna know where the US is as a country, Fox News (donnie’s news network of choice) recently made up a Swedish official and had him speak on TV.
Just, y’know, fabricated a member of the Swedish government in order to push their narrative.
Cuz that’s where we’re at now.

We’ve gotten some heartwarming, touching winter comments from these seven SHSL Mirai-hen men ♥ Who will you try to make some memories with this winter?
Monomi Love, love, everyone!
Makoto Naegi Q: If your crush looked cold, how would you warm them up? A: I guess I’d give them something warm to drink… I’d like to try being cool by offering them my scarf, but I’d be a little embarrassed to. I think that kind of thing would suit someone stylish like Togami-kun, but I’d rather not look weird standing on my toes… so.
Byakuya Togami Q: What would you do if it suddenly started snowing during a date? A: You mean, other than take out an umbrella? Were you trying to suggest I should frolic in the romantic snowfall? It’s always such a grueling ordeal to attempt to understand the thoughts of you commoners.
Yasuhiro Hagakure Q: What kind of winter fun would you like to go out and have? A: Worshipping at a shrine first thing in the New Year! The key is to put on a big hood and go to the biggest shrine you can find. Try to look like you’re deeeeply religious and have a very important prayer to make, and worship there for a long time, so that you build up a lot of coins that were thrown from behind you. It’s fine to go alone, but if you can get someone to go with you, that’s just more profit you’ll be making!
Juuzou Sakakura Q: Tell us about a winter memory. A: When we were in school, Munakata got a crapton of chocolate for Valentine’s Day. It looked like a scene ripped straight out of a manga. He tried to hand some off to me and Yukizome because he said he couldn’t eat that much, but I was on my diet at the time, and Yukizome said “You can’t just delegate people’s feelings for you like that” or whatever and refused to take any, so for once he was losing his cool… I wouldn’t say this to his face, but it was pretty funny seeing him so flustered.
Kouichi Kizakura Q: If your crush looked cold, how would you warm them up? A: Personally, I’d like to give ‘em a hug, but, well, you gotta respect their personal space and all that. Holding their hand to warm it up, though… That’s a romantic situation I’d like to bring about. Lemme have that much, will you? I’m an adult.
Kyousuke Munakata Q: Who do you know that would be the best escort on a winter date? A: Sakakura, most likely. He’s accompanied me out often enough with Yukizome as a group of three. Since he likes sweets, he’ll take us out to the popular cafes and such, and since he’s resilient against the cold, he’s taken us out to look at all the lights on display as well. He might have complained about it, but that doesn’t stop him from being casually considerate, so wouldn’t the same apply to a woman he was dating? He wouldn’t be a boring date.
Ryouta Mitarai Q: Would you rather go out or stay in for a date on a cold winter’s day? A: On those kinds of days, I’d really rather stay home and enjoy some anime. We could even marathon some anime that aired during the winter. That’d be fun. And after that, I think it would be romantic if we each tried to compile some anime with good art of the snow.
Shinguuji’s introduction
I’m translating the introduction scenes for all my Free Time Event characters, mostly as a practice for the actual Free Time translations when it comes to that. I´ll start with Shinguuji.
Shinguuji has weird quirk of writing his sentece ender in katakana. That’s a writing style I’ve never seen before and Google didn’t give me anything, so I still don’t have any of what’s that supposed to represent. Until I find that out and adapt my writing accordingly, I’ll represent that trait by capitaliizing random words (the original plan was to capitalize every word, but that was so ugly that I gave up).
Anyways, introduction under the cut.

I’ve seen this speech quirk before. Toki from Code:Breaker (also voiced by SuzuKen, oddly enough). The official TL for that manga didn’t do much with it though, so it could be more of an aural tic.
2016 has been quite the year for everyone, hasn't it? I'm only sorry to add to it. After losing my mother almost three years ago it's only been my father and I, and he had a major heart attack on Easter leading to a couple of failed stents and eventually triple bypass surgery that he's since pull...

DR3 Spoiler Warning - here’s a post Kibou-hen interview with Kodaka and Higa (animation producer) from the Otomedia Winter 2016 issue. Much thanks given to @yukiz0me for scanning these!
This is … sure an interview, huh. I take no responsibility for anything anyone said in this. I’m just a translator living my life. I didn’t do anything! I was just trying to use my talent! It’s their fault for making something like this with it! (No it’s not actually that bad, but pretty lol-worthy in multiple frequent areas.)
Some topics covered include - reflection on the format and conceit of the series, Everyone Loves Sakakura, who would win in a fight, coming up with the ending first, SDR2.5, script revisions, all the things that got cut from Kibou-hen for time, Munakata’s character, Kodaka admitting he has no idea what happens next in-universe, ideas for spinoffs with the 77th class or 78th class, blu-ray extras… And More!

Trump supporters are now starting to organize and create their own version of what looks like a “watered down” Gestapo.
They’re calling themselves the “Lions of Trump.
They are recruiting White individuals in states and cities that are presumed to be Republican leaning.
Please be careful. If you or anyone you know will be going to protests or are planning a protest, PLEASE FIND MORE SECURE WAYS TO SPREAD INFORMATION.
It scares me that I am advising you to organize in secret because this is EXACTLY what happened in Nazi Germany 60 years ago.
Please, please be careful. We don’t know the extent that these people will go to to try and uphold their skewed understanding of democracy and nationalism.

Slavery-Free Chocolate
Child slavery is not something that comes to mind when enjoying a candy bar or chocolate chip cookies, but it is a very real fact that the chocolate companies that Americans know and love have slavery in their chocolate. So what does it mean that there is slavery in chocolate?
The Ivory Coast is the world’s leading producer of chocolate, and because of the high demand, many plantations there rely on slave labor to harvest the cocoa beans. Not just any slaves, but mainly children, who have been taken from nearby countries with the promise of opportunity only to discover when they arrive that their “opportunity” is actually forced labor in the cocoa plantations. Many of the children are brought from nearby Mali, and are trafficked across the border by motorcycle taxi (“Dark Side of Chocolate”).
Although the major chocolate companies deny that there is any way to control whether the cocoa they buy is harvested fairly or not, this is not true. If clothing manufacturers, who also contract out their work, can control whether child labor is used in the making of their products, then huge companies like Hershey’s, Mars, and Nestle can also control the conditions from which they buy their cocoa. The fact is, they simply do not care enough to make the necessary efforts required to keep child labor and slavery out of their cocoa products.
(As a side note, not all clothing carriers, like Wal-Mart, are willing to keep child labor out of their production)
With Valentine’s Day around the corner, many of my friends have asked me how to tell what chocolate is slavery-free. Although the “Fair Trade” label is a guarantee that there is no slavery in the cocoa production, companies without the Fair Trade certification can also be slavery free. Here is a list of some companies that do not use slave chocolate:

*This is not an exhaustive list, but it covers many of the companies that are slavery-free. If you are unsure of a company, a quick search for the company name and “slave chocolate” usually works. An excellent website that rates companies by their efforts to stop slavery is http://free2work.org/home
Companies that use slave chocolate, and are doing next to nothing about preventing child labor on the plantations from which they get their products are:
M&M Mars
Hershey Foods Corp
ADM Cocoa
Ben & Jerry’s
Cadbury Ltd.
Chocolates by Bernard Callebaut
Fowler’s Chocolate
Godiva
Guittard Chocolate Company
Kraft
Nestle
See’s Candies
The Chocolate Vault
Toblerone.
According to Robbins, “while most of these companies have issued condemnations of slavery, and expressed a great deal of moral outrage that it exists in the industry, they each have acknowledged that they use Ivory Coast cocoa and so have no grounds to ensure consumers that their products are slavery-free” (http://www.johnrobbins.info/blog/is-there-slavery-in-your-chocolate/).
So what can we do? We can stop buying chocolate from companies like Hershey’s and Nestle, but more importantly we can write the companies and let them know that consumers want child-slave free chocolate. Here are some websites for further research:

Gamou and Miyoshi
At first, I was only going to draw Miysohi, but the Director gave me some advice, “Why don’t you draw people sitting back to back on the bench.” and so I drew it out.
Since their backs would be facing each other, I thought it would be better if the other person was only distantly related.
For those who’ve been watching this show, you probably expect something each week, so I decided to draw Gamou, someone entirely unexpected.
