chapter 7 is the latest update , sensei didn't write vol2 yet T_T

nooooo!!!!!!!!!!!! (⊙…⊙ )

It is the continuation. (●'◡'●)ﾉ

this is a continuation but shunna is looking back on the time before he and kanchan starting dating

No it's a direct continuation after the photo was taken. Life isn't 'fixed' and happy and perfect just cos you admit your feelings and start dating. Granted normal honeymoon periods last longer, but these 2 have a few issues between them, domestic abuse history and straight to gay. Which is why the story seems darker.

ook thank you

wait but when he talks about how he only thought of kanchan as an "onahole" but then found himself "seriously falling in love" i thought he was thinking back to before they starting dating

only the end of the chapter is present time?

I got that too. Actually, it seems he goes back and forward.

The translation is confusing but what I get is this 1st chapter is a brief summary of the prequel told from Shuuna point of view. A bit of Shuuna's high school days (seems like he's popular with girls), the start of Shuuna & Hayashida's casual relationship (sex friend), Shuuna started to fall for Hayashida, then back to the present. You can see in the flashback there are only that one photo of Hayashida smiling widely from his high school days and when the story transition back to the present there's additional photo of Hayashida and Shuuna smiling. I'm guessing, now that Shuuna and Hayashida become lovers the story will focus on trials and tribulations of an established relationship. And it seems Shuuna have some insecurities because Hayashida didn't speak much about his past. Plus the unexpected transfer to Osaka that surely will put some strain in the fairly new relationship.

JTV is a company (not sure but I think it's a major broadcasting network of sorts) that Chiba-san is in charge of. He is the man that Murai slept with in order to rise himself to the top. The only people who knew about Murai sleeping with Chiba-san so far were his mother, Kaneko-san and Kato, although Kato found out on his own through observations. Kato wanted to tell Iwaki, but didn't want to hurt him, but when Iwaki realized that not only did JTV give a drama position to Murai, but he was also put into a very important movie with a very important role, Iwaki figured it out and, I'm guessing based on the last page, is very devastated. No rookie with Murai's unexperienced level of acting would land two important acting gigs back to back, so that's how Iwaki realized that Murai followed his mother's (that bitch) advice and slept with the head of JTV, Chiba.

Thanks :)
