Gotta admit, it really does look unusually long.
Subaru's proportions probably just seem off because of the oversized clothes he wears.
(the extra post-chapter-8 illustration mentions the reason behind why he only wears oversized clothing)
Volume 2 is finally out! It came out way earlier than expected, so the vol. 1 sales must've been incredibly good.
It includes a new Omake, ordered right after ch. 8 (all the other Omakes so far didn't appear in the volume releases). It takes place on the Christmas before Ehta gained his powers...
Just wanted to mention that Volume 2 is set to release on August 8th!
As such, chapter 10 (just like back with ch. 8) will be uploaded on that day, which is yet another Friday.
And also, please support Fujichika if possible (the volumes are only ¥770)!

As such, I wouldn't be surprised if my uploads were to get deleted as well. I still want people to read this great story, so since an official English release is likely to not happen, I'll try to upload them all.
