[ghoulishtomato]

Basically Doukyuusei

These MFs can't go five minutes without hugging and kissing (which is 100% valid and logical of them)

[ticklemeyaoi]

Camera took this really shitty picture but was under the weather so I stationed all my kusakabe plushies to eat with me 🍋

[butchjo]

They’re married(CANON!!!)

Pathetic idiot x pathetic idiot is my favorite trope, and mixed with blond hair x black hair just makes it even better

[blueyogurt]

Happy Wedding Anniversary, Hikaru & Rihito ✨💍💍🎗💛💐

Always wishing happiness for you two. Stay inlove 09/16 💛🍋~

I also want to point out that I’ve noticed almost all of their wedding illustrations are always them looking at each other lovingly. These husbands istg 🥺😭💛💛

[glimmwood]

“you’re my number one” 💝✨

[commandermardukas]

Just Married ❤

[vlemon]

Can we just talk about how on the first page of Blanc chapter 11, where it says:

Beyond the green curtain, there’s a place overflowing with light and promises of happiness

“Beyond the green curtain” = The curtains in their old classroom

“There’s a place overflowing with light and promises of happiness” = The place they had their wedding at

I love how Blanc gives flashback to previous stories it’s so beautiful i can’t

[justmyfreakstuff]

I’d like for you and I to go romancing

God this song just fit them so well I’M IN LOVE

[applepie8]

Congratulations! May their love always be sparkling! 🎊💍💖

Blanc Ch 9 Translation

EDIT: BLANC HAS BEEN LICENSED IN ENGLISH!! :D It is now released and can be ordered from all the places listed on Seven Seas’ site here: https://sevenseasentertainment.com/books/classmates-vol-6-blanc/ Since deleting a tumblr post from my page won’t delete it everywhere on tumblr, I figured the best thing to do would just be to delete the pictures from my translation and then whenever anyone clicks the read more they’d see this update and the link of where to buy it. So if you want to read it, go buy the official version or request it from your public library! :D   Under the cut is my translation of Blanc Ch 9! ^_^ The beginning part made me cry while translating it, so you may want to have your tissues ready. T_T Also I had to censor some pages, but I did it in a fun way. XD 

I’m so frustrated it took me this long to post this and I’m so sorry for the delay. >_< It only took me a week to translate, but between the coronavirus chaos (which triggered my depression to come back >_<) and the usual school/work/adulting etc commitments, I didn’t get a chance to start translating until now. T_T Zandynofansub should have the sparkly digital raw scanlation with my translation up soon. But for consistency’s sake of having all my Blanc translations on my tumblr and for anyone who wants to read it before Zandy’s group posts it, I decided to go ahead and post my text translation as usual. ^_^

As always, please support Nakamura-sensei and buy the mangas if you’re able! Vol 1-3 of Doukyuusei are available in English (they call it Classmates) at pretty much all places that sell mangas, and you can buy the rest of the series and the current issues of Opera that contain Blanc on amazon.jp or CDjapan (they even have ebook versions, but they’re always at least 1 issue behind for the magazine)! Also Seven Seas has a survey on their website where you can request titles you want them to license. So if you haven’t yet requested them to license the rest of Doukyuusei (Sora to Hara, O.B., and Blanc), let your voice be heard and fill it out! :D

Pg 1: Panel 1 Box 1: It’s always been difficult for me when it came to my mother.   Panel 2 Box 1: I felt like I betrayed… Box 2: …all of her kindness and warmth.   Panel 3 Box 1: I always averted her gaze.   Panel 4 Box 1: Until that time...   Left Side Boxes: Top part: Past Issues:     Bottom part: Due to the long-distance, Kusakabe and Sajou had briefly separated. In this situation, Sajou’s mother had ended up in the hospital again and Kusakabe offered to look after her. Just as they had been in the process of making up, his mother suddenly died. When Sajou introduced Kusakabe to his father as “my partner,” he attacked him saying, “It’s your fault that my son became deviant isn’t it?!”

After attending a funeral, before entering into their home it’s custom for people to either sprinkle the salt on their chest, back, and feet or to spread it on the floor of their entrance way. This purifies themselves from any evil spirits that may be on them or trying to follow them home. It’s also believed that if they don’t do this, they can’t return to their normal lives.

It’s Sorano from the Doukyuusei Series being a model in a photo shoot! :D I’ve been wanting to try out this painting technique for years and finally decided to just make a simple piece solely for the sake of experimenting! :D 

[cacawatew]

[ticklemeyaoi]

You've gotta be shitting me,

Both stores were actively posting the announcement of the drop to Twitter even though as they tweeted it they were long since sold out I genuinely have no idea what happened. I was actually so crushed I woke up at 5am to camp both sites for peace of mind to get my hands on them sooner and surprise surprise.

Happy Birthday, Rihito ! 10/28 ✨👓🎉🎂🎁

I hope you’re having the best birthday yet and celebrating with your husband Hikaru 💛🍋🎗

Better Halves

"Yes I do. Half of me".

Now it has become so real to them. Hara Sensei has once asked them that and in their wedding they say it again as formal vows. They have always belonged to each other. They have always been each other's better halves.
