My True Feelings | Kanbayashi Makoto [Download]

i really hope no one’s translated this already, lmao

I legit can’t believe it took me two seasons and, like, three years for me to realize how much I shipped these two?? I blame everyone except myself.

Anyways, back when the new season started, I was hunting around for ChinaAkas (or is it AkaChina?) to quench my newly discovered thirst. I found a used copy of this book on sale and I just!!! And literally the minute I saved it to my wish list for later, SOMEONE WENT AND BOUGHT IT. orz Luckily, Kanbayashi was kind enough to upload her YRYR books to pixiv (this particular one was from 2013! i’m so glad. artists should do this more often), but ofc the resolution is tiiiiny.

If I ever see it floating around used again, I’ll try to pick it up and give this proper release dimensions. I never before knew how restrictive these text bubbles could be… Sometimes the original text itself got really tiny and I could’ve done the same thing with the font, but who would be able to read it then? lol

Aaaah, this is a real good book. I don’t think I’ve ever translated something serious that was this long before? I live for gag manga but I’ve literally been reading this over and over since October and just falling deeper and deeper in love?? Chinatsu/Akari is such an underrated pairing—or so I thought until I actually visited the pixiv tag. I’ve never been an actual part of the YRYR fandom at all, so I was pleased that this ship has its share of fans~

I really hope I did this book justice. I generally don’t decide to release a book as long as this one that I haven’t taken three months to QC. Actually, this is my first 40-pger, isn’t it? It really should’ve gone through six months then. orz If I was actually part of the fandom, I could’ve found a proper QCer somewhere… oh…well… Self-QC is limited but it works from time to time. If I get a chance to re-release this, I’ll mull over the thing for the proper six months, don’t worry! :9 or maybe just find a qcer, idiot

I tried to get this out before Ep7 aired (THAT PREVIEW GOT ME SO HYPED) and failed horribly, lol.

I decided to include this little comic here instead of tumblr since I’m not actually a Yuru Yuri blog.
