I liked that Akane clearly had the wisdom not to try to change the past even though she hated the outcome too. She realized it was an essential learning experience for her despite everything.

That's also explains why she was glad to see Youko actually feeding. Thinking about it, I bet she'll become an actual cool beauty once her vampirization is done.


With only 19 chapters left, will we have enough time to wrap up all the side character plots? It seems a bit rushed.

I think we've already wrapped most of them up at this point? We know from Tarage we aren't getting any more on Shiho, all the guy friends are basically done, same with present Nagisa, Mikan and Akari. We just sort of finished out the bulk of Genjirou and Touko until the wrap up.

The only ones we really have left are Akane and Rin in any significant way. Everyone else is just incredibly minor or doesn't really have a plot to wrap up.

There's also the thing with the charismatic pervert. I figured Shiho would confront her at some point.

I thought Rule #1 was to always remember the con party/hookup triangle

Pick 1.

Con Plague is the best example of herd immunity. That many people from different areas coming together who normally have little social contact, everyone gets sick with something. It's the worlds worst pot luck.

So here's the deal. Everyone worked their butts off to get everything done early before we went to Anime Expo. The plan was that I would typeset it on Tuesday night when I got back and then we'd release it on Wednesday as normal. Sadly, I got back super late, and I caught a cold at the con, so I feel like poo poo. But, because I didn't want the hard work everyone put in to go to waste, I sudafed' up and burned this out. There may be mistakes, because I only did a very quick QC on 4chan after I finished typesetting it, so we might need a V2, but otherwise I wanted to release it tonight, if a bit late. I'm sorry it's late, but I hope you enjoy it. And to those of you who are worried by this new, much darker tone to Jitsu wa, trust me when I say there will be comedy in the coming chapters. Yes, we are entering the final arc with chapter 178, but there is humor mixed in to the climax. Please enjoy it, and please support the series by buying the official translations.

You're the best! \o/

If it makes you feel any better, the next chapter is about Asahi trying to figure out how to broach the topic of Youko's 'bat in the cave'.

No, it means it means it's Okada who's mother will re-marry said vampire hunter's father, and so his name will no longer be Okada but Kiryuin.

Okada seems to adapt to his step-dad's stuff absurdly quickly since he's already wearing a vampire hunter sword in the like one year flash-forward

Well, if you find out your friend was in love with a vampire and poo poo went down where she vanished, it kinda makes sense that you'd learn as much as you can about them to try to help.

Just chalk it up to Oka being a bro.
