I think y’all are misunderstanding something here. By “end,” they meant the end of Volume 1. Volume 2 is coming out on November 6.

I don't have precise information about these volumes but from official site we can see that vol. 1 was released on august 6th, just after the release of chapter 13, so vol. 2 will cover the remaining till this last chapter 25.
They also list chapter 25 as "final episode"



Obviously I'll be glad if proven wrong.

I'm guessing the writer chose to just rush to the arc's ending instead of trying to somehow get to the main plot's ending. Felt like this arc was just starting to build the foundation to get to know their dad and the true ending is still far off. Shame, right when it was really starting to get going too.

No, volume 2 is coming out is not related to it.

You can see on the official web that they name chapter 25 as final chapter.
Well, I heard that the sale of volume 1 kinda low, roughly 1050 physical copy, that why this manga got axed.

The writer did not choose, he did not have a choice

I really hope this isn't the last chapter. Yuzu's design is gorgeous and I was super curious to see where things would go. Does this even qualify for the incest tag if it ends here?

Even for an axe this is random, the author didn't even try to wrap up the main plot point, neither did any of the the preceding chapters make it feel like it was coming to an end. Did something happen to the author or something? Something beyond anyone's control which forced this decision?
At this point I'm afraid that something happened to the author that for ed the series to end.

Thank you all for all your hard work. I greatly appreciated the scanlation. Yeah, I was jump scared by the "end" when I saw the update in my feed. I was really enjoying the story. The main duo seemed endearing and the hook about finding out why the dad had second family was a nice dramatic one.

I can't believe it got axed and ended so abruptly. Jeesus. As much as I complain about generic stories, people gotta put food on the table and Japanese audiences seem to only certain types of cookie cutters. Nothing this Manga was doing was appalling or hard to follow or uninteresting (I thought at least). The mystery behind the father gave a good overarching story to follow and everything else was nicely centered around developing the cast of characters. I thought this was a good end to the arc. We learn the dad wasn't just an asshole having tons of affairs. He was presented here as a genuinely good person willing to risk his own reputation just to keep a friend from having to "get rid of" her unborn child after her baby daddy ran off. That's a good payoff to this little mystery because it means he was probably sincere in both of his relationships and there had to have been something better than "I felt like cheating" behind it all. Plus there's still the will possibly being faked or added to. I mean I was invested. Would've like to have followed this to like a 50 chapter conclusion. Sucks.

Edit: I went back and reread Chapter 14. The major unresolved mysteries are who picked up the letter Yuzu wrote & added the second half about welcoming the MC, who the mysterious girl was that the MC had a vague memory of meeting as a child if it wasn't Yuzu, and the big one of why their Dad would have such a major second family/double life when he seemingly loved his wife and daughter (especially as established this chapter). Also, maybe this arc killed the Manga. I hadn't even realized it's gone on for 10 chapters (nearly half the Manga up to this point). I enjoyed it and I didn't mind the pacing. Chapters were coming quick enough for me, but probably wasn't the case in Japan when it was first releasing. The author should've made this arc five chapters max, used the same ending, and focused on the fact that the dad was a genuinely good person to add another layer to him having done such a major ethical breach of fidelity. You do HAVE to keep the overarching story moving forward. This was a 10 chapter swimsuit arc with a double fake out tacked on at like chapter 7 out of 10.

It's a gamble. Imagine you're in a marathon and as long as you're in it you get paid. If you cross the finish line payments stop. So, you meander about avoiding the finish line. The mangaka has an idea, Kuon, and he could finish it up in a chapter or three, but he would be that much closer to the finish line. It's better to stretch out the arc then move on to the next, and stretch out that one as well.

Who knows when it got the ax. He could've been towards the end of the Kuon arc and had no choice but to wrap up that only.
