kind of(?) spoils if you didn't read 271.
i can't tell you how many countless times I've already reread manga. while I don't get as excited with chapter updates any more (I stopped anticipating monthly 20th update since last year) but I still hold within myself a small hope for something each time I read an update. i'm happy right now that Lori spelled it out for Ren (thank god nakamura gave that to us) b/c it'd otherwise be another round of misunderstandings. We already have Kyoko misunderstanding. We'd never get anywhere if Ren was too. So I'm calling Lori a saving grace right now. Call me a fool but that's one thing that's got me a bit anticipating for true progress. As disappointed as I get about the slow pace in the last few years, I find myself getting easily pulled back in if I see potential progress. i've timestamped the progress and it's been a few years since the last major major arc which is Kyoko's mom imo. This series is really dear to my heart. I always hope potential progress eventually amounts to certain progress. Once again, with Lori explaining things to Ren; but also Moko having something that needs Kyoko's help. These two things, i hope it progresses 1) Ren x Kyoko 2) Kyoko's career. these two things are what we're here for and here to stay right?

1) i would say this needs a gender bender tag if it keeps going. it's not that he is questioning his gender but I think it's cool how he just went for dressing up as a girl even though it could have very well backfired. i wonder if it'll be a story that touches lightly on the fluidity of gender appearances; breaking gendered social norms.
2) i think it's awfully quick of her to assume her sexual orientation. Sorry if I missed something in the chapter but i think it's safe to assume she has only liked her senpai and her senpai just so happens to be a woman. However it doesn't mean she bats for the team. Don't get me wrong. I'm not against her being lesbian. I'm saying that this story can take another step and possibly dabble in sexual orientation but I think that's an awfully lofty feat so i'll just see what direction this story can take with #1
my gosh, what have we done to deserve all of this! as always, many thanks to the amazing dancefag. I hope that Ballroom E Youkoso will return soon too for dancefag to translate.
my guess is that because the anime is already finished gotta update the manga now so that we will have season 2 or more to come (/  ̄ ³ ̄)/
as much as I would love for increased freq of releases, the translation/scanlation of the manga isn't related to the publication schedule of the manga though. Seems to still be on a monthly publication schedule. Unless it has changed, im not expecting any more new chapters
