So I saw some people saying that they would like to read the most recent Japanese chapters and I've seen people posting translations of the text for other mangas, so I thought I'd contribute my grain of sand too! :)
This is the first of the chapters that are currently available for free, but if you all are interested, I could translate 111 and the chapters uploaded to PixivComic (chapter 116 should get posted today, I think).
Neither Japanese nor English are my native languages, so this will probably not be completely accurate and it may have some grammar mistakes, please don't be too hard on me.

Thanks to Shizuku, I could get a view of what the future could look like.
That you could be accepted by people who know both your crossdressing self and your normal self.
No matter how hard I used to think about it, I was convinced it was a doomed route that could only lead to hell.

But in my case, it’s not only about the real me, but also about my relationship with Mei.
The real me… Well, I know Mei doesn’t like it at all.
In this situation, even if I were to come out… It doesn’t seem as if that would lead to a better outcome in any way!!
Hanae: Ah!
Page 03
Hanae: I got distracted again… Even though I’d really like to get her…
Hanae: The new Yumeko merch that’s available as a prize starting today!
Hanae: This is bad… I always have trouble with this… And I’ve already run out of money.
Hanae: Ugh… I guess my only option is to give up.
Hanae: But if I let this opportunity pass, she’ll be gone in a flash for sure!
Hanae: Damn, I’m so stupid…!
Page 04
Hanae: Scary…
Hanae: But why are you here?
Satogiri: I asked Shimazaki and he said you’d be at the arcade. So I came.
Hanae: You say “So I came” but… What’s all this, why would you be looking for me?
Page 05
Satogiri: Well, you know…
Hanae: Uh? W-what do you need?
Satogiri: …
Satogiri: You want that thing, am I right.
Hanae: Eh? Ah! (Screams)
Satogiri: Come on, you don’t need to hide it.
Hanae: It really is nothing, though!!? Just tell me as quick as possible what you need and… !!?
Page 06
Satogiri: It’s this girl with the half up half down hair, right?
Hanae: Uh…
Satogiri: Tell me quickly. There’s a time limit.
Hanae: Y-Yes… But…
Page 07
Satogiri: What is this shit, it didn’t even move a millimeter. Must have been a bug. Would it move if it was pushed from the outside?
Hanae: Wait! I mean it, really, stop with this.
Hanae: It was no malfunction. This kind of thing is just the surface…
Satogiri: The surface? (I wasn’t going to hit it for real, though)
Hanae: … A doll like this is actually a plushie.
Satogiri: A plushie?
Hanae: A plush toy. Since the head is heavier, if you aim for the head it doesn’t barely move…
Satogiri: Ha? Well, what do you do then?
Hanae: You try to get a hold of other parts like the arms or the legs and move her little by little until you can push her through the exit.
Page 08
Satogiri: Ahhh, I get it, understood. Now that I know how to do it, it will be a breeze.
Satogiri: Like this?
Hanae: Y-yeah!
3 tries
5 tries
Page 09
Satogiri: How many bucks is this stupid claw machine going to take from me…
Hanae: That’s why this kind of thing is not…
Hanae: It… It’s already enough, really. How much did you spend?
Hanae: I don’t have any cash right now, but next time…
Satogiri: Uh? There’s no need for that.
Hanae: W-what?
Satogiri: Weren’t you the one who called the ambulance for me, Hanae?
Page 10
Satogiri: And the one who pulled me out of the rubble.
Satogiri: And did some shitty first-aid.
Satogiri: And stayed there taking care of me.
Satogiri: If it is to express my gratitude, i’ll spend however much is needed.
Satogiri: If I am healed now and can move as usual, it’s all thanks to you.
Page 11
Hanae: …
Hanae: … It’s nothing. It was really not a big deal.
Page 12
Satogiri: Yo, look, Hanae, it looks like we got a hold of it!
Hanae: Wah-
Satogiri: What should I do now?
Hanae: This… You should probably move her once again to this side.
Hanae: If you managed to get her arms as low as her legs, then probably…
Satogiri: Let’s go!
Page 14
[Congratulations on getting the prize~]
Hanae: We d-
Satogiri: Yeah!!
Page 15
Hanae: Damn. The tension was so high that I ended up high-fiving him…
Satogiri: Here you go.
Page 16
Hanae: …!!
Hanae: Erm…
Satogiri: Huh?
Hanae: Thank you. I really wanted to have this.
Page 17
Satogiri: Haven’t I said that I am the one to thank you?
Page 18
Hanae: … Y-Your wounds. Are they healed? Yet?
Satogiri: Huh? Uh…
Satogiri: This one here was pretty big. I got quite a few stitches, so it will probably leave a scar.
Satogiri: What’s that face for?
Hanae: Nasty…
Satogiri: What are you even saying, you saw me covered in blood.
Page 19
Satogiri: How’s your hand?
Hanae: I’m alright, I only had some shallow scratches.
Satogiri: I’m glad they are completely healed.
Hanae: …
Satogiri: …
Hanae: … We don’t have anything to talk about…
Satogiri: Ah, I just remembered!
Page 20
Satogiri: It seems Yuzuru and Shimazaki hang out together, now.
Hanae: Eh? For real…?
Page 21
Satogiri: Yuzuru told me about it the other day.
Hanae: I will try to ask Shimazaki afterwards…
Satogiri: Should we go with them too?
Hanae: Huh??
Page 22
Hanae: Wait… Wait a moment.
Hanae: There’s something that’s really been bugging me from before.
Satogiri: What?
Hanae: There’s something weird about you today. And it’s that, how to put it…
Hanae: Why are you… Being so friendly…
Page 23
Hanae: I’m very happy about Yumeko, but…
Hanae: I can’t get used so quickly to this kind of feeling. I don’t know how to act…
Satogiri: What are you saying? You want me to be mean to you?
Hanae: T-that’s not it, but…
Hanae: Don’t underestimate my social phobia… Until I know their motive, it makes me very anxious to realize someone is trying to get close to me all of a sudden.
Satogiri: Motive? Well, the motive…
Page 24
Satogiri: From my standpoint, I don’t know your motive for helping me either, though.
Hanae: !!
Satogiri: But if I were to ask you about it, you’d probably be cynical and say something that would make me sick, right?
Hanae: Huh?
Satogiri: Well… It’s just that, you know.
Satogiri: At the beginning, I only thought of you as a cringey otaku.
Page 25
Satogiri: But when I approached you, you were different from what I’d imagined in many ways.
Satogiri: So I had no reason to hate you anymore.
Satogiri: That’s why I stopped flaring up at you.
Page 26
Satogiri: Well… Have I explained myself?
Hanae: I…
Page 27
Hanae: From my side… probably… The truth is…
Satogiri: Huh? What? (I can’t hear)
Page 28
Hanae: Well, I’m leaving.
Satogiri: Y-yo, you, don’t just break off a conversation like that!
Hanae: I got what you said. It’s just that…
Hanae: I’m a person that takes a while to warm up to other people.
Hanae: But.
Page 29
Hanae: What you said about not hating me anymore, it’s the same for me.
@chiisana-lion I'm glad u liked it 🥰🥰 Honestly the latest chapters have been so cute, i'm so in love with their characterisation and interactions 🥺
And ofc you can go ahead and typeset it if u want! I would only ask you not to credit me, since this account is easy to trace back to me irl and i want to cover my back, but asides from that it's okay hehe 😊
People straight up do not realize that part of the reason manufacturing is not returning to the United States in massive waves is because we have things like “OSHA” and “environmental laws” and “minimum wages.”
It’s not even just about fair wages. It’s literally about the fact that you can’t dump industrial waste in a river here anymore.
Our cheap goods are so cheap because South American and Asians environments are being destroyed so you can buy a $40 pair of shoes every 3 months.
Cutting granite countertops has lead to a rapid increase in silicosis in the lungs out in California. All the working men and women in my family have died from pulmonary fibrosis. They were carpet layers, Post office workers, floor tilers. Staying safe in manufacturing jobs is annoying but also very, very expensive. Real manufacturing factories belch smoke and dust and grime that causes asthma and birth defects in surrounding communities. Everyone wants their manufacturing jobs back until they realize their kids are living directly under the Asthma Plant.
There will come a time when the workers in these countries rise up and demand better and things will start to even out, but if you want to honestly “do your part,” you gotta stop buying cheap shit for no reason.
Not every event needs to be celebrate with a baseball cap or a coozie or a t shirt or a keychain. Not every wall in the house has to have a picture or a cute phrase on it. The knickknacks are killing people.
I appreciate the intention of not buy unnecessary things, but this is misleading bc workers of the global south have also been organizing and building unions all these years, but they have been crushed down by the intervention of the USA mostly(plus other foreign powers and international financial institution that followed them, plus some complicit corrupt people here in power) for example in the last dictatorship from my country which was planned by the USA government(plan condor) statistics show military mostly tortured/killed/disappeared workers that were fighting for their rights, then students, and 80% of them were under 35 years old, agents of change, people who were fighting for a better quality of life. This was around 40 years ago. But even now some of those people who rose to power then are in those positions now, and financial institutions lead by the global north keep benefitting governments that will give up our country resources to them and choking all others. So the time I would like to see actually is when governments from the global north shift their priority, for whatever reason, and stop choking the global south, and then the whole world will be better for it.

How very depressing that Neil Gaiman had trended not even a tiny bit for demonstrating what a fucking horrific person he is.
As a reminder, he's suing Caroline Wallner, one of his accusers, for breaking her NDA. Not for libel. He's saying she shouldn't have told anyone about it, not that she lied.
The author says Wallner broke her NDA by sharing her story with the media, including with New York Magazine.
He doesn't need the money. He's risking the Streisand effect. He is punishing Caroline, he's trying to intimidate other victims who have signed NDAs to scare them into continued silence.
He is no friend to women, to the LGBTQIA+ community, to anyone quite frankly unless he thinks they are of value to him.
Share the story. Put it on Facebook and bluesky and whatever else you're on. Make it clear what a horrifying person he is. Tell your friends. He's paying Edendale a fortune to try and cover this up. Make this hard for him. Make it cost him money.
I’m getting genuinely emotional y’all don’t understand how ISOLATING it can be when cultural dress for most other Asian countries are popular and represented and Filipino clothing barely is, LET ALONE PRE-COLONIAL?!
I- 🥹
I hope to find the time and energy to fulfil my dream of making the clothes and dressing like this
#literally genuinely truly people need to stop stereotyping 'ugly' nerd guys like this because it's extremely old#I can tell you right now you're more likely to get a rancid opinion out of a rich conventionally attractive dude just statistically#also stop using people's photographs to make mean jokes when you don't even fucking know the person thanks bye

Disabled by covid and a coma and after his mums passing he has recently upped his donation goal after being forced to move (inability to afford rising rent prices and accommodations like a ramp)
Hi, my name is Patti Stiles and I'm fund raising for my son, Jerry Messing,… Patti P. Stiles needs your support for Revovery from Covid comp
Nowadays there's galizan music in every fashion and style! Thank tradition and community spaces for the good health of our musical industry, ever growing! Here you have some examples:
Mondra
Electronic folk
Lately, a lot of galizan artists inspired their works on Galizan traditional music. They're usually put under the tag 'tradi'. They're mostly queer friendly or openly queer artists who knows how to dance, sing and play traditional instruments. But this guy? What this guy does is sickk!! Unique style and a great live performance!
Check out also this recent single... are you thirsty now?
Caamaño & Ameixeiras
Folk
More stuff on the folkie side. Give this two a violin and an accordion and wait for the magic to happen!
De Ninghures
Folk
This is my most recent discovery on the galizian folk scene. They originated in a foliada, that is, a kind of traditional party and jam session in which everybody bring their instruments and voices and improvise.
These three bands, Mondra, Caamaño & Ameixeiras and De Ninghures, are my absolute top three of nowadays galizian folk music. Enjoy!
Tanxugueiras
Folk pop
Everybody knows the Tanxugueiras here, even little kids sing their songs in school. They were a musical phenomenon, one of the bands that started the most recent folk fever a few years ago. They almost got to Eurovision! But Spanish tv didn't want an indigenous nation to represent the whole state and opposed this. SHAME
I like their first album more than the second, but the second has MIDAS.
(Footnote here: the gorgeous man in the bathtub is Xisco Feijóo, he's a great dancer singer and tambourine player, check him too!)
Baiuca
Techno folk
This man plays with old recordings like dolls. I really like the vocals of Lilaina, frequent collaborators of his. BUT for me the fucking best song he made is not technically in galizan, but in asturian language, it's a collab with asturian artist Rodrigo Cuevas. Check this!
That was tradi. Now for some punk!
Grande Amore
Techno punk (sorta???)
This guy's lyrics are so FUCKING relatable when you're a late millenial living in Galiza. The ANGST, the DESPAIR. Always with an eye on partiying. And so fuckin funny! Check out this song and also his best known single as well: Esta pena que a veces teño. And also maybe his last album. Go in peace now!
Os Vacalouras
Punk with funny lyrics and strong local identity
I've already talk about them in Galizan. They were my best 2024 summer discovery!
Familia Caamagno
Punk
This people took a righ-wing pop hymn and made a cover, with a music video full of communist parafernalia. RESPECT!
Expect more parts to this post! There's still classical music, jazz, rap, pop... and that's only the beggining, because I also want to go back in time and discuss the Galizan Folk Renaissance and such. Stay tuned!!
The Israeli occupation army is now asking the Shujaiya neighborhood, the Abasan neighborhood, and the city of Beit Lahia to evacuate immediately in preparation for bombing them, and all the people are crying and screaming in the street, not knowing where to go 😭
Until this moment, the explosions above our heads have not stopped, and the number of martyrs is increasing all the time. Please help me with a donation so that I can travel outside Gaza and receive treatment as soon as possible. Please do not forget me in your donations!!!🥺
