Synopsis:
“I will take care of this girl.”
My name is Ayako Katsuragi, I’m 30 years old. It’s been 10 years since I took custody my dead sister’s daughter. My daughter is now a high school student and gets along pretty well with her childhood friend, Takumi Aterazawa. Maybe they’ll start dating soon? Ta-kun is a very nice boy and I’m rooting for him. Huh? “Please, give me your daughter” is what you want to tell me? Oh, gosh, you’re so formal-
“Ayako-san, I’ve been in love with you for a long time. Please, go out with me.”
“…You like me, not my daughter?!
A woman that raised her sister’s daughter and a boy that was in love with her. This is the start of a romantic comedy of an extremely pure love in which pent up feelings will explode after years!

Thanks for the support! The only real image that doesn’t have a translation is the TOC in volume 3, which is part of why I haven’t released a downloadable version yet. Everything else has had a translation within the image or under it in one of the chapters (or I didn’t bother translating it because it’s just the title in Japanese).

I will, but since it hasn’t been translated to spanish yet, I haven’t been able to start. I could try doing it with machine translation + jisho + my own knowledge of japanese, but the chapters would take me far longer to do and I wouldn’t be able to guarantee translation accuracy.

I’m a Brazilian, and I’m using google translate to comment, so sorry if any words are wrong, I’m not very good at English. When I was looking for something to read on a manga site that translates into Portuguese, I had found this novel/manga, I really liked it, and I couldn’t bear to wait for them to translate. So I found this site, and I used the windows option that translates the texts, so I was able to read it. THANK YOU FOR THE TRANSLATION, and I would very much like you to continue.

Sorry for pushing but is it possible to finish the next chapter before August?

The delay right now is because of work related reasons and moving houses, which has left me with no time to translate this series. I’m expected to finish crunch time at work before the month is over, so maybe I’ll have chapter 4 before August or early in the month.
