It’s do or die time for Kei, and he’s determined to get Ushio back.

Sensei’s work twitter unveiled the full cover spread for Off Air 2! (Thanks for the little peek at Ushio’s lower back, Takemiya-sensei!) It also has the full list of doujinshi stories. In addition to the three that I had previously mentioned, there is sugar me, about a long day for Kei without any food, then running into a door at work, a misunderstanding, and maybe a sprinkle of Halloween magic that gets Ushio some one-on-one time with Kunieda-san, and Head-Spinning Diary, about Kei and Ushio’s New Years together following Volume 3. There is also a brand-new story called Love Don’t Come Easy. Ahhhhhh!!! I want to read!

There are two more chapters left for this volume and then I’ll be all caught up with the main series until the new story releases in December. I have the rest of Off Air and Off Air 2 and the spinoffs featuring Tatsuki and others from Asahi TV to translate. I will finish Off Air Volume 1 first because it contains direct epilogues and side stories to wrap up the story in Volume 3. But after that, how would you like me to prioritize Off Air Volume 2 and the spinoffs? Let me know by voting in the poll or leaving me a comment!

No promises, because there will always be RL obligations that take precedent, but it’ll give me an idea of what to prioritize.

Kei does some sleuthing and pays a visit to Ushio’s grandmother.

The cover for Off Air Volume 2 was released the other day! How adorable are Kei and Ushio??? Especially Kei! 💕💕💕 This time Kei is the one brushing his teeth~ And he has bed hair! 😂

From the looks of the special bonus announcements, the volume includes Fools Rush In, about Kei, Ushio, and Tatsuki getting pass-out drunk at Ushio’s house, Rose-Colored Pop, about Ushio and Kei taking a couple of trips together, and Just Like Honey, about the days after Ushio and Kei first get together in Volume 1. October 29th can’t come fast enough!

Kei somehow stumbles through his day in a daze and makes a rash decision.

And with this chapter I can finally add in the portion of the Author’s Note in Story 2 of Off Air that is a spoiler. Ichiho-sensei is merciless. 😣😣😣

Kei runs into Old Man Eba again and learns why Wakamiya had shaken him so much.

I finished writing up the detailed summaries for Ichiho-sensei’s Kiss series here if people are interested in reading it.

In Ichiho Michi’s 10th anniversary fan book, there is a page that evaluates a number of semes from her novels and asks if they measure up as a “dream” man. Here is Ushio’s section.

Poor Ushio, docked points because he doesn’t wear suits enough! 😂😂😂

The project cancellations pile up, and Ushio confronts who he suspects is the root of his problems.

Ichiho Michi will be having a meet and greet session for Off Air 2, and the publisher posted a textless version of the cover for the first volume! Hee, look at Kei with his tummy exposed! 😏 And Ushio is so handsome with his wink. 🥰

Kei hosts an awards ceremony for commercial TV broadcasters. It’s boring and no one’s paying attention to him, but somehow a surprise guest to the ceremony can command the entire room with his speech, and it frustrates and bothers Kei…

Also amazing news!!!! A new story for the Yes/No series was just announced!!! It will serialize in the Winter 2020 issue of Shousetsu Dear Plus, on sale December 20. Takemiya-sensei is returning with illustrations. I am so happy! First Off Air 2 news, and now a new story! I will absolutely be purchasing the magazine! It makes no mention about a spinoff, so my best guess is that it’s about Kei and Ushio, but the wording has enough wiggle room to allow for other possibilities, so it’s not 100% certainty that it will be them.

Kei and Ushio drink together at Kei’s apartment, and Ushio helps Kei take his mind off of things.

Kei is ambushed outside of his apartment building by a newspaper reporter. This seems to be a start of a story that puts Kei himself in the news?

P.S. Thank you everyone who commented, rated, reviewed, and/or recommended the series!

Asou and Shitara get some screen time in this chapter and here’s a non-spoilerish tidbit from one of the spinoff doujinshi.

How did you enjoy the side stories for Volume 2 from Off Air? Volume 3 is titled “Where Home Is” and it is the final volume for the “Yes, No, or Maybe Half?” main series. I hope you enjoy the ride. If you like this series so far, please consider recommending it or leaving a rating or review for it on Novel Updates! There aren’t very many people reading it, and it would be great if more people discovered how funny, warm, and triumphant this series is. If you already have, then thank you!
