Magnolia Waltz

This one isn't actually completely scanlated and without being aware of this, it is possible to read this with the erroneous impression that some important events occurred between the last chapter of Volume 1 and the first chapter of Volume 2 that the author didn't include.

This issue is that the scanlators released Chapter 2 in two parts, only the second half got released as "Chapter 3." This resulted in Chapter 3 being released as "Chapter 4" and Chapter 4 not getting scanlated/released at all as this was the last chapter of the first volume.

Chapter 4 Summary:

From what I can tell based on seeing RAWs (and not being able to read the language), Koto has her child while Sagitto is still away. Sagitto's father comes along then takes the baby away from her even though he continues to not acknowledge her as his son's wife then goes to India, taking the baby with him. He intends to use the baby to blackmail Sagitto into leaving the Indian independence group. There's was some parts involving Masaomi, which I couldn't figure out as it involved a lot of talking, but most likely pertained to the mission he goes on and why he shows up in Shanghai where Koto is at. Sagitto returns to Shanghai and arrives about the same time as Masaomi such that he pulls a gun on Masaomi, which he has pointed at his back. Masaomi most likely explains why he is there to some extent as he doesn't get shot.

A lot of this will also get referred to in the chapters that follow in Volume 2.

Also while Chapter 1 is essentially a recap of Waltz wa Shiroi Dress de, you should still read it. Although it does tell the events primarily from the point of view of Masaomi's older brother, you also get Masaomi's point of view as well in regards to the events.

Another issue with this scanlation is that the last page of Chapter 12, the final chapter is missing...

On this page, you see Koto with Masaomi's older brother. He is wearing a tuxedo and she is wearing what could pass for a wedding dress, only she is wearing a bow in her hair and not a veil.... suggesting that what her two children stated on the prior page that their uncle would marry their mother has come to pass.

I mean the first one was a bore but this is ridiculous. Insanely boring, the art is meh and the story is rushed and jumpy and the dialogue is even worse. Not to mention the scanlation group has done an awful job. The only character that I somewhat don't want to strangle in this series is Masaomi, but it appears that he,

dies later on, so, damn. Don't waste your precious time with this.
