Premise looks interesting and it's colored, upvote!

Definitely want this one. Especially with how JNC can theoretically speed through first volume due to, uh, circumstances.

Genre: Comedy, Romance, School Life, Seinen Sounds right up my alley. ' v ' b

@caramelwithoutthesalt Well, it made me look at other things Nakata Yumi has drawn. He does have a love for the over-the-shoulder nipple peek... which is reflected in this title, too. May it enjoy at least as long a run as Kanojo no Kagi wo Akeru Houhou. And get an official translation...

I'd love for this series to be picked up, I'd even donate toward the licensing fees like a Kickstarter if needed haha.

@legitpancake Crunchyroll has certainly sold my translations to other publishers before (Arakawa Under the Bridge and Tales of Wedding Rings) and that also happened with Parasyte from Del Rey and Goth from Tokyopop, but I would imagine different it's one of those 'every contract is different' things. Only thing certain is that translators have no control over it, get no bonus, and don't even get copies of the print editions when that happens.

That's the downside of a true slice of life story I suppose, no big hook or novelty factor like ReLife had. The only goal or overarching plot is mentioned right there in the synopsis in the first post - four screw ups trying to prevent having to repeat a year. People will either dig the whole coming of age thing of them working & growing together or find it boring as hell. The MC starts off really weak too, they needed to flesh him out more way earlier than they did. Until we got those extra details of his backstory I didn't find him sympathetic at all & was more interested in all the other characters.

@shionarita Shogakukan does not like any form of Digital Release.

Volume 7 coming out 8/10:

I've seen several variations on this theme, where mechanics/rules/magic create situations (Love Tyrant, If Her Flag Breaks, etc.) As long as the gimmick isn't distracting, and the content/story is compelling - I say 'yes' overall JNC is lacking in romcoms lighthearted, cute, funny? all good things if the underlying message is that it is "OK" for girls to be humans with desires also (anti-slut shaming) that's a plus get's my upvote

@doublemangekyo There is 9-chapter manga adaptation, it should be a good gauge but from what Frog-kun said it seems that the series might have ended too arbitrarily suggesting it might have been cancelled so it's mostly romcom shenanigans without the pay off from all the subplot and side character related foreshadowing. (That is why I was not sure if I should suggest it or not)

added the the LN to LNDB

@terrence (If someone can read the expression on volume 2, help me; I don't know what her glance nor her thought bubble are about, lol). "I need to study and act as proper prez but I am quite worried about the new bubbly better girl showing up!!!" lol
