I'm not going to lie, I'm shocked this is actually getting translated. Props for the great work, looking forward to the next one.

Looking forward to Rei's fight, I was upset it got postponed so long. Big fan of her design, hopefully they don't just use her as a "If you can beat Rei, then you're worthy of fighting Kira" benchmark. Thanks, as always, for the upload.

Thanks for the rec, just plowed through it in a day.

While it was a fine ending, I'm sad to see it end. Setting my month around Ikoku Nikki releases I enjoyed very much. Though, I'd rather this than it become a bloated, unrecognizable mess. Here's hoping for more from Tomoko Yamashita. Thanks very much for the translations.

Thanks once again for the translation. Love the sequence of the last four panels, from the joy of the turtle slowly advancing toward the ocean, to the ultimate despair in the next, followed up by Megumi's haunting stare on the last page. Can't wait for the next chapter.

An Interesting premise for a story, but with only eight pages it's hard to judge: there's just so little of it to form an opinion on. Art is so-so, competent but unexciting. You could, I suppose, spend two minutes, at most, of your life doing worse things than reading this.

Thanks for the quick publication of this chapter after the last one: always appreciated. I'm thinking that, with the introduction of Gashiyama recently, that we may get a "drunk Yokoi calling up Gashiyama" arc. I too have trouble controlling my drinking once I get started, and the subsequent...

An utterly fantastic series, featuring both Tomoko's signature incredible writing, and her feel for real, multifaceted characters trying to deal with their own experiences, and her incredible art: by the lord, the table of contents in volume two is beautiful. It's hard to see, sometimes, past...
