First of all, I just want to say that I'm still summarizing Kono Oto Tomare. I'm somewhat distracted due to watching Re:Zero. ๐
I've been catching up on anime watching.
Anyway, SB raws are out in baidu.

Finally?!๐๐๐
Edit: [2/21] English scanlation is available in baidu..[link removed as requested] though, there is another English scanlation from another group in mangafox. And it's confirmed, yes, finally ๐ More reaction under the cut...

Someone says that he finally confessed but
there is no answer from her. The others are guessing that the elevator door
will open at the start of the next chapter. ๐
Only one line is translated by someone, “It isn’t just girls who feel uneasy towards the one they like because they don’t know the others’ feelings.’ Haha, something like that. Ren’s last line.
Let's wait for the English scanlation. ^^
゜*☆○o｡..:*･(*´-ฯ)(ฯ-`*)･*:..｡o○☆*๏พ
Edit: [2/21] So, Ren confirmed things. Kyouko is thinking the same thing. He apologized for his earlier mean behavior and confessed that she is the one. The ball is now on Kyouko's court. Is it a yes or a no? Or, the elevator opens?๐
Nevertheless, finally, it happened. I'm not too sure about what to feel since it happened in an elevator. Not quite romantic. ๐ Still, that is just one secret. Their secret identities are still hidden. Maybe we can see more over the top reactions from that later on. Like, more fun or romantic...something? Of course, if they become a couple, I would want to see Shou's initial reaction. ๐
So many years of waiting ... I almost got a heart attack. I feel that the elevator will open and Kyoko will not be able to answer but I hope Ren won't leave it like this
ReplyDeleteHopefully not, jessyxx. ^^
DeleteHehe...will they be a couple when they go out of the elevator? ^^
AAAAHHH!!! I love this chapter so much!
ReplyDeleteAww, so that's what he's saying at the end! That's so perfect!! It really gets through to her! When he says that, and she sees the look on his face, she seems to finally calm down. It's like she realizes that while she's focusing on herself and trying to comprehend, Ren is having big anxious emotions too. I think that's probably why she takes his hand. <3 I really hope she confirms that she feels the same!! Aaaah, another months wait!!
Oh, and despite my rudimentary Japanese skills, I can see Ren clearly says (yells? lol) to her "ไฟบใฎๆใไบบใฏๅใ ใใ!!!" (Ore no omoibito wa kimi dakara = because my loved one is you!!!) .
Yes, squeaker ^^
DeleteHe went straight to the point - explained everything, apologized and confessed. What remains is her answer...unless it is interrupted. But her hand twitched...so is that a yes ^^
Chapter 193 page 6
DeleteI believe that this will came to her mind when she's about to anwser tsuruga...
And so the plot and twist of the last few years will continue.
I hope I'm wrong, but Nakamura-sensei does this all the time.
Thank you Kat for all your hard work.
Yes, I'm wondering about that, too. Strangely enough, what came to her mind was that talk with Lory and not that one. I guess she forgot?
DeleteIs it possible that they'll just keep their relationship a secret? Something like for Kyouko not to be known as Ren's gf but make a name for herself.
I'm not inclined to think that the author will drag this one out. There are still many other issues that has to be tackled. Basically, like you, I hope there's no regression after all these years we are finally at this point.
Thanks for reading ^-^
But who is going to translate it?? Impatient Scans just completely closed shop last month. Who will translate it now? Why is my Japanese so terrible? Actually, my Chinese is also terrible, and I've studied that a lot longer.
ReplyDeleteSomeone did, Tohru13. Well, I found it in baidu.
DeleteSkip beat is very popular and it will be translated especially since we are now in this part. ^^
There is a debate about that (the elevator opening) based on the White Day side story. Kyoko was flustered on how she'll face Ren but Ren's expression is harder to comprehend. He looked calm but I'm not sure if that's an act or he really got her answer. Though it looked like she squeezed his hand in the end so he might be more reassured about her feelings. It could be either so I'm not going to guess. I hope it's not delayed any longer despite the comedy of him chasing after her. To tell the truth, I'm more curious of what Moko wishes to talk to him about. Others say it's to warn him to keep their feelings hidden so they wont be exposed and Kyoko wouldn't be hurt in the process... then again, this might be a stretch, maybe Moko already met Cedric and something happened in that time that she wants to ask Ren about the connection? I could be way off the mark, but just a random thought, lol. What do you think,Kat?
ReplyDeleteBrittany, from that, I guess she did somewhat answered that it is mutual.
DeleteHm...hard to say. Kyouko will be hurt by what exactly? It isn't a rejection. Perhaps, that is if Kanae believes that Ren isn't serious with Kyouko and is fooling around with other women.
Even if she already met Cedric, it is a stretch to connect him to Ren. Ah, this is in the assumption that Cedric is the bully/tormentor of young Ren, right? Ren is currently in disguise so no one except those in the know would know who he really is.
Thank you Kat
ReplyDeleteHello!
ReplyDeleteI’m an admin from the translation team that worked on the English scans that you shared at “Edit: 2/21”. We do not allow our scans to be shared or reposted.
The link that you shared from Baidu is from a person who reposted our scans, which is something we don’t allow.
Can you please delete the Baidu link?
Thank you!
Oh, I see. Sorry about that.
DeleteHi! Thanks so much for translating!!!
DeleteIf you happen to read my reply, I just want to mention the part about "American boy." Someone who worked with the former impatient scans mentioned that it's "American tick" (as in tendency/quirk) on their personal twitter: https://twitter.com/PlumJucie/status/1230372584480542723 Makes sense since Kyouko doesn't know that Ren is an American. :)
Also, are you able to share where can we go to properly access your scanlation? Thanks again!
Thank you!
DeleteAnd yes, it ended up being lost in our translator’s notes that we forgot to put up. If you join the Facebook group Skip Beat, there *may* be a chance that we’ll open up the group again for a few days. We’re only members in that group, but they allow us to share it when the time comes for recruitment.
Wait she did respond yes right? What I see is not wrong, right?
ReplyDeleteShe didn't respond but she seems to have slightly squeezed back his hand.
DeleteThat is what I am taking as her response, as in her saying yes. OMG I am sooo excited. Too bad we have to wait another month for another chapter.
DeleteYup ^^
DeleteSaw the last picture.. he was holding her hand and in answer to his confession she held his finger with her thumb. Its a deal, kinda feel. So.. dont think there will be an interuption or it could be that way cuz, kyoko or ren dont feel awkward when they remember the past-in relation to the bomb ren dropped on her in the elevator. Her reply could be very measured i assume. Sho wont appear out of nowhere i suppose.
ReplyDeleteYup, APSH. I'm actually wondering about the elevator opening. Actually, rather than an interruption, perhaps, it is to spread the word out? You know, gossip...it will clear things about Ren and Kana.
DeleteYa, Sho won't appear. So, how would he know about it? Through TV? Or see them together?
I wish that your assumptions are true and she said yes without saying a word... Imagine how romantic will be to understabd each other without using words in the language of the heart in theit special world of only two.
ReplyDeleteI think I read many novels...
However if Shou appears of nowhere... I think that it will change the positive atmosphere I know thay he has to appear but I think that we still have lot of skip beat and Shou will return to cause troubles... even though I think he should give up because she loves ren now and she did a lot for him to be in debt
I really wish a yes... and that they will overcome all the secrets and problems that will appear soon
Hehe, why not?
DeleteHard to say about Shou...didn't he make Kyouko vow not to fall in love with Ren or else, she'll go back to Kyoto?
In shoujo/manga, there is this part 2 in the confession. First is telling one's feelings which they did especially if Kyouko's hand squeeze is a yes. The second part is going steady. So, will this lead to the second part?

Thanks for reading ^-^
Yeah, thank you for the replyreplay.
ReplyDeletebut taking into account her personality even if it is not the first thought, I think it will be the next ...
Will she be able to put her feelings and wants first? Realizing that the promise Shou forced on her is just another way of manipulating her to do exactly what he wants?
I'm so anxious ... March is so far away :(
True, it's hard to say. We can still hope that she might still go with her 'do/accept first then think later' like when she accepted the Mio role. ๐
