UPDATE: Chapter 2 has been added! Also, some pages in chapter 1 have been updated along with the pages for both chapters being renumbered to keep everything in order. As I said before, this is a new translation/edit of these stories using the new digital scans from Ananga Ranga. Enjoy!

UPDATE 2: Just the credits page is being updated this time. Someone wasn't recognized for the important role he played in bringing Ch. 2 in English to everyone. Sorry, Shoku!

Thank You for the fully colored and re-translation.. so far i have 2 chapters from the previous translation.

I just noticed the names of the tenants and their styles are the same as Joshi Luck... it more like this was the prototype. im just hoping changing the names a bit to avoid confusion that the 2 series are related >.<

@ludwik2 thanks for the awesome info about continuation of this series ^_^

That's why it was re-published, Distance intends continue the story.

@Manhattan

This was started before Girls Lacrosse Club. Distance started working with Wani and due to Wani not having the rights to Motenai Girls, he was unable to finish it, so he re-used the characters and even basic story idea since he figured he'd never get to finish Motenai Girls (which he now has a chance to complete).

@MissingZero

Girls Lacrosse Club disappeared like almost every other Wani owned story on this site.

Thank you very much for this! At last the error of calling Aoi-nee his aunt, which was in the previous translation, has been fixed.

For those of you who want continuation to this series, Distance is planning to do that in this new magazine. The next issue will have a full color version of chapter 2, and the issue after that will contain the completely new chapter 3 (source: the bottom text of page 3 in this gallery).

Ch. 2 Edit:
Thanks again!
Now for the bad news, the announced schelude for chapter 3 didn't hold, and it is not known when it will be released. Distance has been in some kind of a slump in the past months. He(/She?) was also supposed to have a chapter in HOTMILK 2015-10, which didn't happen. (On the basis of Distance's twitter and my bad Japanese skills I believe he has had health issues.)

Distance has apologized in his blog, and says he tries his best to get work done. Also, in the comments of the most recent blog post (http://doubutusan2009.blog42.fc2.com/blog-entry-109.html#comment) it is confirmed that there are still plans to continue Motenai Girl.

@CED777 Not Wani, but KATTS http://katts.jp/katts/

@Meridian92 Yes, there is a gallery that claims to have chapters 1-3 of Motenai Girls, but instead it constains the chapter 1 of the Lacrosse Club.

I like how this is literally the Lacrosse Club people except it's at an apartment instead of a school club, and with the obsessive one and the tsundere get their personalities switched.

Not that I'm complaining, mind you. Distance does good work and I'll never get tired of these girls. Already saw the first two chapters a while back but it's nice to see them again, and I hope to see it continue this time.

Base +7, kahn0219 +6, jfragrettel +6

I swear this is some kind of parody of Love Hina

Wouldn't that get milk everywhere? That room would reek for days.

Base +9

yup Love Hina setting. but this time Harem :)
Cousin... just like Haruka was Keitaros cousin. Granny Hina adopted her after her parents passed away
been hoping this would be finished looks like now its being continued

Base +6, former182 +8, jfragrettel +6

Whoa whoa whoa. Not only full color and a ballin' translation, but a continuation of this series? Fuck yeah!

Base +6, Truble22 +5

I thought this was a Girls Lacrosse prequel or something... Is it actually a different setting with the same characters?

Base +6, houseofmex +6, jfragrettel +6, Riyin +7

Maybe i am being just a fan, but, to think that somebody can think he can do a better job at translating than desudesu, i find it outrageous. Can you please tell me where the original translation has been improved? I think that desudesu has a high quality standar, just because i am a fan of him (I like his translations), i don't have an actual proof.
Thanks.

Base +6

I love everything about this can you notify me when more come out.

Base +4, cheshcheshcat +6, jfragrettel +6

so, this is a color version of this;

/g/503588/a8547af2a9/

from 3 years ago,

there's some dispute of whether the pregnant girl is his cousin or aunt

i hope he knocks her up himself next time!

Base +7

@ DarkMassacre Yea!!!

Base +6

So who will win the managerbowl this time? Any bets?

Base +7

is this Wani?

Base +8

Just to let you guys know, there is a chapter 3, and is posted in the galleries. For some reason it's out of range of the search engine. Try googling "motenai 3" and you'll find the japanese version on the site.

The T/L note is so true.....

Base +6

What's this? A rare female example of the high-pressure nosebleed trope?

Base +6

Speaking of Lacrosse, what ever happened to it? I heard it was completed, but then it just vanished.

Base +7

pg49 - ...... welp. That's one way to earn Red Wings.

Base +6

the boy had a pregnant aunt in the original, right?

hope he knocks her up in the continuation

here it is:

/s/fef24bda24/503588-8

in the DESUDESU translation, Aoi-nee is called his aunt. Not sure if author changed the plot.

btw, female nosebleed is awesome, saw my first in the baseball episode of FLCL

Base +7, see-eff +8

@Comrade Claus

Yeah, she was said to be his aunt in Desudesu's translation. It says cousin in both these raws and the old raws though. I can't think of anyway that 従弟 could be construed as "aunt", and Desudesu even said cousin once in his translation as well. Not sure where aunt came from, though I'm going to chalk it up to a simple mistake. Sometimes people get a certain idea in their head and just can't get rid of it, like when you keep misspelling/saying a name that you know the correct spelling/pronunciation to.

@ Dantered

Yeah, there's supposed to be additional chapters eventually.

Not sure if its been edited or not, but she calls him her cousin which makes her his aunt.

DISTANCE sure draws some beautiful girls, wasn't this series supposed to be revived ? or it will remain as an uncompleted thing of beauty?

Base +10

@Rally Vincent - That's not how cousins work. All I can say is, from what I've been told, nowhere does it say Aoi is Kota's aunt.

Base +10, SirTwenty7 +5

@thelostlight, thanks, i'd vote up your comment if i could

Base +7

@ Rally Vincent : It seems that you don't know how cousins, nieces and nephews work, brah.

Seriously? He caught a cold? He's that weak?

It's not like it's fking winter there, Jesus.
