It’s been quite a while since the last chapter, hasn’t it? But at long last, it’s time for more Shinozaki!!!
Places to support the author and buy Shinozaki-san:
Kinokuniya
Honto
Amazon Japan
Volume 3 has just come out in Japan! I’m sure the author will appreciate it quite a lot if you buy a copy. If you live in America, and there’s a Kinokuniya location nearby, it’s only about $9.
If not, don’t despair because Honto has some great shipping prices. For four manga-sized books, the shipping cost from Honto to the west coast of the United States is 980 yen, which is roughly $9.66 USD. The 3rd volume from Honto is only 616 Yen, which is about $6.08 USD. The entire three volume set is only 1,849 Yen.
For fans who have trouble signing up for Honto, please take a look at this link HERE for a step by step guide on how to sign up and set up your shipping.

Awesome, thanks a lot!!
I’m commenting just for the sake of the prince of bakumatsu thing. It could also be a mix-reference to Prince of tennis as well as a new anime called Bakumatsu Rock. I could be wrong, but just wanted to point it out.
It has nothing to do with Bakumatsu Rock. Both of them refer back to the actual Bakumatsu period, which as I said is a common setting for BL stories.
It MAY have something to do with Prince of Tennis, because that was a very popular series amongst fujoshi, but it seems unlikely, because there’s nothing tennis has in common with samurai, none of the characters look similar or have similar names.
Thanks for the chapter! Akina totally let herself get gypped out of a rare Orange x Green figurine all because of her pride, this time. I guess it isn’t *too* bad since Konatsu got to deepen her relationship with her friends, and encourage Akina’s character development too.
I’ve already got Vol. 3 on preorder since a couple weeks ago (along with a huge order of other books, like the entire Marimite novel series) as well. Unfortunately the order got delayed due to some of the Marimite books being out of stock (and needing to be backordered)… nonetheless, I’m looking forward to it arriving.
Thanks a lot for the new chapter!! :)
I adore this manga, and you do a professional-quality job with it.
Shinozaki! Thanks!
When will the next chapter will be released?
Pretty soon. About a week I’d say.
