606 — Little Sisters Are the Cutest Creatures in the World

At Night, after finishing kendo club practice, Hikigaya Hachiman dragged his half-dead body home, muttering a lifeless “I’m back.”

‘No response.’

Not that he expected one—his parents were never home at this hour. But the living room light was on, which meant one thing: his little sister was home.

“Komachi...

605 — A Dirty Deal

The corporate drones’ wretched wails weren’t pleasant to hear, but they hit people right in the chest.

In the short manga, the protagonist watched the company receptionist—pretty Junko—go into the president’s office with a smile, then come out with her face flushed.

That image broke a lot of readers’ defenses. Soon everyo...

The fireworks, they agreed, would be better saved for the evening.

So, they decided—tonight, they’d go to the beach, watch the...

Chapter 229 – How Did Ryou Get Tangled Up in This?

Ryou quickly averted her gaze.

Meanwhile, her mother suddenly chimed in enthusiastically.

“Come on, come on, Ryou! Let me see that boy! He’s so handsome~”

Ryou knew she absolutely couldn’t let her mom see—or worse, talk to—Suki-san right now.

But she couldn’t think of a decent excus...

Chapter 394 — Aftereffects

Aside from that, the vast and terrifying knowledge.

The kind that would shatter the mind of any ordinary person who merely glanced at it — had also partially reflected back into the Alpha Stigma Eyes.

After all, the strength of those eyes depended entirely on the user’s own knowledge and intellect.

Even though the truths co...

Even though she had promised the night before, by seven in the morning, Yamada Ryou was still fast asleep.

Breakfast had come and gone.

By 7:30, she still hadn’t stirred.

“No need to wake he...

Chapter 227 — The Donation

“That boy Kei has always been a good kid. I’ve liked him ever since he was little.”

“After he grew up and left for Tokyo, we really could...

Chapter 392 — Erosion

Teyvat’s civilization could still be considered in its infancy.

Whether the demon gods, mortal, or dragon their understanding of the world was shallow—and of what lay beyond it, almost nonexistent.

If Khaenri’ah still existed today, continuing its rapid technological advancement from five hundred years ago.

The level of c...

Chapter 391 — Under the Yellow Heavens

Between Archons and mortals lies an unbridgeable chasm.

At least, that’s how it is when compared to the seven beings who emerged victorious from the Archon War.

These seven stand at the absolute pinnacle of Teyvat’s power.

602 – The Artistic Depth of This Book Is Beyond Your Imagination

“Good morning, Futami-sensei.”

At the entrance of Meirin Bookstore, the manager, Meirin Yoshihiro, immediately greeted the man who had just arrived.

Chapter 226 – Everything About Aoki Kei, Ryou Wants to Know

After a moment of studying him closely, Tougou-san finally spoke again—her voice scolding, yet full of warmth and worry.

“Let’s not talk about that first. Kei, you’ve lost weight, haven’t you? You’re thinner than the last time you came back!”

Tougou-san knew all too well how tough life in Tokyo could be for him.

W...

Chapter 225 – The Place Kei Once Called Home

Stepping out of the train station, they were officially in Tottori Prefecture.

Compared to Tokyo, the air here was noticeably colder — as expected of a place deep in Japan’s snow country.

There were no taxis around, nor any convenient train lines.

Once outside the station, the only option was to walk.

Along the roadsi...

Chapter 390 – Throw Otto into Teyvat                 

If Scaramouche hadn’t unleashed the Raiden Shogun’s power, turning himself into that combat-doll form to push his lightning abilities to their limit.

And instead fought Lumine while maintaining his sanity, relying only on his divine body’s strength, speed, and reflexes...

Would things have gone any differently?

Probably ...

Chapter 389 – Boundaries

Before Nagami’s eyes stood a colossal tree that reached from the depths of the earth to the heavens — a tree woven entirely from shimmering silver light.

Its vast roots spread like wings across the sky, while countless tendrils stretched endlessly into the void.

“An Ether Anchor…”

Even without his Alpha Stigma Eyes, N...

600 – Who Could Resist the Joy of Teasing Eriri?

Sawamura Eriri looked like an angry little lioness.

Because someone still refused to put her down.

The clever girl quickly realized that no matter how much she struggled, even if she somehow freed her ankle, she’d only end up landing on her head.

And the worst part—if she made a fool of herself, Kasumigaoka would n...

599 — I’m Going to Bite You

After finally getting to eat those lettuce leaves that looked like cat ears, Yukinoshita Yukino felt her trip to Itouya could end on a perfect note.

The only regret was that she hadn’t been able to pack up the salad and take it home.

She’d wanted to take a few more pictures, admire them for a bit, maybe even turn them into sticke...

Chapter 224 – A Ticket to Tottori

The station platform hummed with noise.

The train’s arrival chime echoed once more.

Kei finally snapped out of his daze.

He turned toward Ryou, wanting to say something—but the words caught in his throat and vanished into silence.

Around them, the crowd was a blur of sound and movement, yet somehow, their little corne...

Chapter 223 – New Year’s Eve, Ryou’s Sweetness

If you study fast enough, it only takes about two weeks to get your driver’s license.

Kei was fairly confident he could manage that within two weeks.

But the idea of going on a road trip to Hokkaido right after getting the license… that would have to wait.

February was already booked—there was a competition with EMI, and ...

Chapter 388 – Lumine: Wanna See Who’s More Annoying?

The hem of the dark cloak fluttered slightly as Scaramouche stepped to the edge of the rooftop, gazing into the distance.

Reflected in his eyes was that awe-inspiring figure — the one who could command even the thunder itself.

“Why would she suddenly make such a move…? What’s happened lately?”

From the shadow...

Chapter 387 – Oh? Isn’t That “General Lightning Cannon”?

“Abolish the Sakoku Decree!!”

“Finally! The isolation policy is gone!”

“Now we can trade again!”

The decree spread like wildfire across Inazuma — not just a ripple, but a full-blown earthquake.

598 – On Apical Dominance and… Chest Development

The panda plush that Yukinoshita Yukino was playing with wasn’t exactly a panda.

Strictly speaking, it was Mr. Pan, a Disney star — a panda-like creature with one oval-shaped black eye patch and another shaped like a star.

A yellow scarf was wrapped around its nonexistent neck, and its smug little face gave it a cool, rebellious ...

597 — Saying Goodbye to Her

The second floor of Itoya wasn’t just for buying stationery and decorative paper—it also had a row of tables and chairs by the window.
