Hi, it's me, Kou - the translator
Pittosporum - The Fifth Leaf (Vol 5) is officially out today
This volume is seriously FULL OF LOVEY-DOVEY moments from these two (no unnecessary dramas so don't worry lol)
Also, Mikami-sensei has announced that Volume 6 will be released in the near future
*SPOILERS*
According to Sensei's thank-you note + the info from the latest chapters, in Vol 6 there will be (a) new character(s), Yano will visit Odajima's house and it seems that he may stay there (and wait?) while Odajima and his mother visit Odajima's grandfather (I assume it's probably the grandpa we saw in Vol 1 - chap 5)...so I guess we may finally see Odajima open up about his past to Yano...
Actually today I uploaded both CHAPTERS 4 & 5 of Vol.4 on ( b a t o ) so please go there to read chapter 4 !
(And again, most of the chapters here were uploaded by the bot from this site, not me!
For some reasons, the bot didn't upload CHAPTER 4 (Vol.4) this time, this is driving me nuts...)
Kou
god they both love each other so much and want to change and improve FOR each other…….. i love them. my kids. ch2 is so so good i love yano being willing to step out and talk back to a teacher to defend odajima he’s gotten so much bolder…. i also do think it’s interesting seeing the cafeteria incident having a lasting impact on the narrative, im glad it’s sticking around (even if it’s a sad thing to see people treating odajima the way they are because of it, it’s good it wasn’t a dropped detail). the 1.5 extras are sooo nice too the one of them snuggling together in bed with odajima getting excited abt yano reciprocating his feelings…. wah.
also the note about pittosporum as a plant!!!! i love flower language thank you for including that interview detail…. as soon as i saw it listed as a feb14 flower it clicked that must be why odajima’s birthday is valentine’s day since i’ve thought that his birthday being then was an interesting pick….. i wonder if there’s any significance associated with yano’s birthday too. as always thank you for your translations kou! ^_^
Hi, I'm translating this and I just wanna make it clear about my uploading of Vol 3 (and later 4) and why I did it separately:
1) I didn't upload it here on this site.
2) I uploaded on a different site where there's the OFFICIAL translation entry for this manga, but because mine is not official so I thought it's not appropriate to put mine in the same place as the continuation.
***(Official translation = officially translated and published for purchase by a publisher, not an online scanlator group/individual)
3) On the site I uploaded this, I put in the original title of Vol 3 : Pittosporum (The third leaf) , this is so that I can make it different from the previous upload (and hope can help lessen the confusion)
4) The people who put my upload on this site omitted the tittle and yup confusion indeed.

Anyway, I only want to share my translation of my fav BL to others because good BLs make everyone happy (♡ˊ ꒳ ˋ), it's never my intention to confuse or upset people with my upload ꃋᴖꃋ (◞ ‸ ◟ㆀ)
Hi, this is Kou, I'm currently translating this manga.
Actually 2 months ago I sent a request to upload this manga here and GOT NO RESPONSES (I tried to send a message/email afterwards but no luck).
Today I decided to upload it to another site (B*** since it's way easier) and what do we have here...an immediate upload...
I am really sad to be honest. I know this is just an online site (shouldn't be spending my emotional energy on this) but I spent the longest time reading all my favorite mangas here . I still have no idea why I didn't get approved to upload though...
Sorry, I guess I just wanna complain and like just really disappointed...
