I think they did it since their clothes is different on page 32 and page 34

I think page 34 is actually a timeskip into their adult life. It's not just their clothes, the alarm clock is different. Also the bed, and the wall to their right (our left) is now a big glass wall with floor-length curtains. And they have earrings suddenly.

The transition could have been signalled better. As an ending, the chapter is cute but feels abrupt, like the author decided to just stop.

Thanks for the TL!

It was a good series, it followed the typical troupe of heading multiple yuri couples getting together but the last chapter focused on the 2MCs, which is the best choice!

For some reason it felt a little complicated, even kinda toxic. I think Mashiro should've had some self confidence boosting arc, aka «I need to stay strong to stand along side her», but in the end she's still scared of losing and depends on her. The page of her hugging Nagisa like a child, when she got hit gives those vibes. It's like her words, saying that all reason that she build up her self confidence was Nagisa and it's really problematic if you think about it.

She wants to stay with her, so she needs to be strong, but only confidence she built is because of her partner, then what would happen if they lose each other for some reason? She will be back to square one, an ill girl, thats super dependant on anyone, who shows her affection, and is going to get into another, potentially, toxic relationship.

Also another fight and she will be hugging her pillow and crying, thinking nagisa is going to leave her, it's like a few chapters back with that kouhai, mashiro has no confidence, even after nagisa constantly saying she loves her, girl be thinking that she is only temporary for her and any small change or person, that knew nagisa before, appearing is gonna tear them apart.

This character type is close to suicidal, it's good that author didn't know what they were doing, they were just trying to make a happy Manga. Because if they did, there could've been wild suicidal arc, where mashiro nearly killed herself, because of another misunderstanding.

Its not a bad read by any means, but character build up could've been better, because otherwise if you really analyze them in your mind, it's kinda misleading.

Welp. It's finally over.

My interest nosedived when side characters started to take centre stage, and it didn't recover.

I realised that there's really no story here. No plot. No character development to speak of. I wouldn't call it bad, but everything is just very surface level.

A very meh story that would've been better if it ended around volume 4 or 5. Just feels like every chapter I'm reading is a filler episode of a long-running anime.

This should actually be tagged as slice of life, because that's what it feels like. I personally hate the slice of life genre. Would have dropped it, but it wasn't bad enough.

The only good thing this manga has are all the cute moments. They cloud the reader's critical mind, bringing some amount of pleasure. This moves it from a 5/10 to a 6/10. Don't feel it's worth ever reading again, though. Maybe the first couple volumes only.

I'm glad I'm not the only one thinking it seems a little toxic. The line can be thin between romantic/playful "I don't know what I'd do without you, you're everything to me" and "I don't know how to live without you, you're the only way I find happiness and confidence in this world". Especially for a character that was introduced as physically weak and lacking confidence, although I completely forgot about that first plot point since she just became magically fine at some point? Anyway, would've been interesting to see more character development, and not just "relationship development".
Not to hate on the manga, though. It wasn't perfect, but we're just here to have fun, and the way things were presented, it wasn't deeply problematic.

I'll miss these two. At least it was able to recover from the completely unnecessary fumble in the previous volume.

Meh! It's an alright/good read if you ignore the middle where these two got demoted to side characters.

It could just be me, but it also looked like Nagisa had shorter hair.
