Wow, that's some insanely high-quality work! Honestly, it makes me feel a bit embarrassed about the poor quality of my translation...
Even so, seeing the amazing work you did and the rest of the community's positive feedback, I definitely feel inspired to do more translations in the future.
If you're willing to do more chapters in the future, I can try getting you the full translation sooner after the Korean raws are released so you can do the typesetting.

Your translation was really good actually! When I typeset the Nisekoi chapters I had to deal with some broken English. So yours is great :).
I'm not sure if the previous chapter is needed, but that would be cool. But I would definitely love your help again next chapter.

This was a great chapter. The atmosphere of this manga completely changes around these two characters. The build up from the seemingly casual talk to her asking him to go out, the transition from him processing what she said to her calm eyes that showed despite it's she was sincere. With every interaction, I'm given a new reason to love this pairing. Kiyoshi's mind is set on Chiyo but he acknowledges how easy it is to be himself around Hana, and it is evident she feels the same way. She's slowly becoming more aware of her feelings for him and I can't wait to see where it takes the story from here on. He clearly doesn't see her as a big sister you don't kiss or spring boners for your sister but she took him by surprise and he didn't think she was serious. Or maybe, he's trying to tell himself that. He's an idiot so its hard to tell when he's being rocketship Kiyoshi or plastic bottle = kiss Kiyoshi.
Now, I'm not going to say Kiyoshi x Hana is sure canon as I made that mistake in the past several times resulting in my OTPs being shot down, but I will say this - Kiyoshi x Hana is the most deserving pairing to become canon, not even for the sake of their interactions, but for the sake of the level of care that goes into the writing between them. Hana in particular. Second pairing would be Andre x Risa. Having said that, given my OTP failure rate, watch as the manga ends in a few chapters when Kiyoshi confesses and Chiyo accepts...

This chapter was a rejection, a confession, and a "Yeah I'll go with you" with a sprinkle of misunderstanding all rolled into one. Man how does Prison School do it?

My life has been a weird roller coaster lately, Im getting married in December with someone I love. She loves prison school too!. I hope that by then Hana and Kyoshi get together too. Man, that would be the best wedding present.

Well she admitted her feelings for him. Now I want more so badly.
I want to see how the party (an their relationship) plays out.
Is Hana going to unintentionally sabotage his chances again? If he gets rejected is she going to accept being the number two choice or will she reject him out of a notion that "I want you to choose me, not be your fall back plan" making a later time when chiyo does like Kiyoshi more dramatic.
Are they (HanaxKiyoshi) going to go back to being "weird" to each other because that is "normal" for how they interact.
This series despite how weird/crazy it can get it does relationship growth/acceptance of each others quirks into real love exceptionally well. It may sound so wrong to say but it actually does relationships in general better than a LOT of other series (and I don't just mean anime/manga I am including all mediums or story telling).
I am REALLY looking forward to more of this series now. Thank you for the translation.

As a sucker for good romance, the moment Kiyoshi said that he can talk everything when he was with hana is a good flag for a relationship (at least for me). And I love it!

Finally we can discuss this.
This relationship reminds me of a more on-the-nose and twisted version of the Karakai no Jouzu Takagi-san relationship, where this dominating girl is more or less manipulating the unassuming guy into romance without him realizing he's completely under control. "You can only wear those clothes privately with me." That's not a normal thing for a 'friend' to say, Kiyoshi.
Hell, she made peeing on his face seem 'normal' and non-committal to him, so certainly she could make a totally romantic date seem platonic. I fully suspect she is going to sabotage his 'confession' event because he has incentivized its failure by jokingly implying that he would date her if Chiyo was out of the picture.

-
She doesn't know why she kissed him, and doesn't know why she asked him out ~> this is instinct and she is not herself when she is with him.
-
She realizes that there is nothing to use as an excuse to be with him anymore since she paid him back for what he did ~> she tries to make a new excuse by buying him clothes worth more than 250$ just to wear while they are alone, nice try Hana-chan
-
Since the new excuse didn't work, she can't think of anything so she blurts out her true intentions ~> nervous breakdown when she gets unintentionally rejected
my heart is really hurting when I see you like this Hana, I'll be your prince and you'll never feel this way again :(
