I thought this was done.

Did Yom come back to cleanse their soul after that crappy other series about the childhood friends and their screwed up non-relationship?

I haven't read this manga in a while and might have forgotten something, but...this dude isn't such a literal self-insert anymore and has an "official" appearance?

it's been a while, huh

Yom redemption arc

gentle reminder that Yom is not the one at fault

These have been around for a hot minute, but never got tl'd.

Also, Yom is just doing the art for That Series, so you can't get his ass for the writing.

Whether or not he's doing the illustrations for a fat paycheck or he read the novel and thought 'peak, lemme in' is what's in question imo

He got a face during the confession arc. I can't remember what chapter that was.

 

[Grishnag]

Meanwhile, the chances of this ever happening to me are 0.

 

[AnacondaHL]

a. yom is just the artist for that other series. I'm reasonably sure he had no hand in writing it.

b. while circle was still uploading, they changed around chapter numbers and order from the one or two previous groups working on this from some time ago. I recall it was marked as completed after the confession chapters. everything since has been Twitter extras.

c. even when circle was regularly uploading this series, they were a couple months behind the original releases on yoms Twitter, there should still be many shorts/extras left for here.

I don't frequent Twitter and haven't been there in some time, but I recall there should be like 20+ other 2-4 page posts like these. I was gonna ask someone from circle if they were going to continue but never got around to it and it appears they won't bother.

Yom needed this as a breather from being abused by Maruto.

I love this goober, her expressions are just top-notch.

What happened? I am seeing all these people talking about something.

What happened? I am seeing all these people talking about something.

Looks like they're talking about this, where Yom is the artist for another author's manga, which is based on that author's novel. There's as many 10 stars as there are 1 stars, and a chapter in the middle that jumped up 9x in number of comments in the forums, so looks like there was a plot twist that a lot of people didn't like

I haven't read this back in a while but I'm pretty sure that when douki-chan finally confessed the male lead stopped being a blank slate and literally started having a face so that he could react and be a character in his own relationship starting up.

I don't really blame Yom for the other story because I know they (he?) is just listed as the artist, but given the rather visceral reaction a lot of people had to it I can almost feel that Yom would've come back to this light, fluffy, silly series as a palette cleanser for everything the other series would've made them party to.

It's the manga that @TooOldForThis linked to. Yom is the illustrator (but not the writer) on it. It starts out like a pretty standard "childhood friends but she's secretly in love with him" story then takes a hard turn into the dramatic in the middle with a kind of scummy twist that makes multiple characters out to be pretty awful purely for "the drama".

It's got a 6 average score, which by the standards of Mangadex and peoples' general inability to effectively use all the space on a 10-point scale almost always translates out to "the only redeeming quality is that it's not on the level of the absolute worst garbage we've ever seen". That says something.

forgot this for almost a year, glad it's still this cute, still remember the other 2-3 girls were also keepers

Aka Akasaka was not involved in any way, so I'm already willing to forgive them for that.
