Houkago Kitaku Biyori - Ch. 50 - Let's Get Along Better

[UdenEmpati]

That makes ME sad because itll probably end the moment they get together.
Itd be amazing if they kept on the theme of their journey together post dating start. Instead of finding the romance in random things itd be finding the random things in romance.

Many have said this before me, but starting a relationship isnt an end goal, its the beginning to a whole new adventure. This title could be perfect to continue said adventure together.

Imagine this realization one day after marriage: "the reason I really like going home now is because thats where you are"

I would personally love to see this go on forever - through college, adulthood, married life, what-have-you.

The hard part, is the author themself keeping interest and focus and momentum. And, through things like health issues, miscellaneous "life stuff", and the super annoying/randomness that is editor/publisher changes and audience attention.

There will come a time when it has to end, just to prevent it getting too old/stale/repetitive. I could see a point where they get together, and then the series has a truncated sequence of vignettes that shows Chokki in college when Shun visits her, and they have adventures; them in college together; them figuring out "work life", and in the interim the progression of their relationship, from dating to marriage to potentially kids, with new "going home adventures" as a family.
It wouldn't be 200 chapters of this, necessarily, but a solid amount of storytelling to show that they do continue long after their version of "I like you and want to be with you" happens.

But I almost prefer this have a brief "epilogue" that shows their life post-"confession", because I maintain that the real magic is in the moments where they're just ....going home, and stopping along the way to check out whatever grabs Chokki's interest, and they experience the romance in life together.

Straying too far from that in any way would miss what makes this what it is, and the longer it's allowed to continue, the more likely the author will run out of things to say.

I don't think we're there, yet. But I'd rather this end on a solid note in 25 chapters, than potentially tarnish its legacy risking what makes it so special by trying to fill another 100.

I mean, you've said it yourself, what happened with granny was the perfect chance, but even that didn't work.

I agree that sad stuff doesn't fit this manga, I personally wouldn't mind the shift if it was well done but that's a big if, in general don't see how the happy alternatives would work, other than just suddenly making them want to be together.

She did really seem to like the idea grandma gave tho lol.

This manga could work with sadder emotions like the first time Shun hugged Chokki with the goats. Its about finding the romance in things, so even a sad moment can be worked with. But not like what the guy implied. There isnt a need for anything sad to happen to move the story along, that probably wouldn't fit well. Working with a part of lofe that happens to be a bit sad can definitely work well, like graduation but then using that to trade contact numbers or to make a promise to meetup every weekend.

A sequel where its going home after college classes, then going home after work, then going home with the kids from daycare.

I know im being greedy but man do I really wanna see that play out

Place your bets, chokki or cat?

That last progress chart, I never expecting that.

And I guess Seno x Mugi will progressing faster. Why ? Because the "romance concept" from those two manga are really different.
