It still has seven or eight more chapters left but volume 13 being the final volume has already been announced.

Is the screen on the Shinkansen with "Yoga Beer" on the first page after the title page showing an ad for a "bland name" version of an actual Japanese beer brand or is it showing a "bland name" version of Yogi Bear?

Hey, Barasui's healing too, only a month between each few page chapter chunk!

It's even older if you count those weird non-canon self-published prototype chapters where Miu was Micchan and had a pet panda and Nobue and Chika had an older brother. I think those date from around 1998 or 1999.

Thanks for the translation! I love looking forward to reading the next chapter and then finally reading it two years later. (Not that I'm blaming the translator for the manga's sporadic release schedule over the past 13 years or so.)

The manga celebrated its 20th anniversary in the summer of 2024 so I presume the first chapter with "Mako-chan" was back in 2004 or early 2005 at the latest.

One thing that surprised me about this chapter is that I assumed that Miko's father was roughly a decade older than Miko's mother from the way he was drawn (and the picture on the home shrine shows that he hasn't really "aged" visually as a ghost) but, if anything, the flashback shows Mamoru...

I've been posting updates on Jirou Sugiura's progress on newer chapters in the thread for the most recent chapter. I know the chapter 55 discussion thread is still there but, since the easy way to find the thread from the main page for the manga is gone along with the chapter, I guess I have to...

This link has picture of earbuds more relevant to what kid Mamoru was wearing in this chapter, the Sony MDR-E252, the first of their "NUDE" ("Natural Unequalled Dynamic Earbuds") in-ear earbud range from 1982. (I think Sony did away with the "NUDE" acronym shortly thereafter.) The earbuds in...
