Thank you moe for finishing this series, especially considering how many series on mangadex are left incomplete by there translators. It means a lot for you to go the extra mile for this series, and it's sad to see you retiring, but I thank you for this nonetheless.

Вот и все! Неплохая получилась история: интересная, весёлая, порой немного грустная, а главное поучительная. Она научила быть нас смелыми и не бояться вызовов, которые готовит нам жизнь. Помогала нам добавиться поставленных целей несмотря ни на что...
А если моими словами, то мне супер понравилась эта манга, она простая, без супер тяжёлых проблем или причуд, но как по мне именно в этом и есть прелесть данной манги. В настоящее время куча всяких романтических аниме/манг в которых супер много необычных идей, и из-за этой кучи простая романтика с простым развитием персонажей как раз таки выделяется и как по мне простая романтика без причуд даже лучше.
P.S я впервые пишу такой комментарий под чем либо с выражением моих чувств поэтому не судите строго, я просто(тупой) не умею правильно выражать свои чувства. А так спасибо большое переводчик за их переводы, автору за то что каждая страница в цвете, и себе что где-то каким-то образом нашёл эту мангу.

This has been such a comforting manga for me. I've been following it since COVID and it has never failed to remind me of better days. Now that it's over, I'm not sure if there'll be another series like it for me. It's not a masterpiece, don't get me wrong, but something about it's simplicity was so endearing I can't imagine another series reaching that same level. Regardless, I'm glad Kaoru, Nanami and all the rest are happy.
As someone who can very relate to Nanami, this is a very wholesome manga that left a very bitter taste in my mouth. That doesn't mean that it isn't good, it just hits too close to home for me. I really do recommend this for anyone wanting to read it.
Even if I'm a guy, I unconsciously felt like Nanami's life in the beginning was like me in this very moment. No direction. No progress. Nothing. Even if her/my family or the very few other people I would talk to were there, it feels like she/I were incredibly lonely. Not being able to talk to anyone about my problems except for random people online (like I'm doing rn), because of my niche interests and self-loathing that I will never amount to anything, and that I am simply someone who is worthless. I am similar to her in a way where most of the negatives match. While of course my life is not one-to-one with her, I still see myself in her. The difference is that I'm already older, so I'm already losing in that aspect. And while I am not a complete shut in, I feel like that there is this figurative cage made by myself that I'm not able to leave, because I say so myself. Of course, self-inserting isn't a good thing to do in general, but this time I really couldn't help myself. It was like seeing a mirrored version of myself if it was in manga.
I'll share my experiences while I was reading it, and the reasons for doing so are quite embarassing. Just like Nanami in the story, I think I subconsciously wanted a Kaoru-esque kind of character to finally free me from this kind of loneliness. Maybe posting this here will get something to happen? I will never know if I don't try it for myself.
While reading the story, there was this kind of hatred deep within me that I couldn't really explain until I was writing this, and I can tell that it was jealousy, envy, and maybe some other stuff like greed. Weird, isn't it? Why would such a wholesome manga make me feel this way? There has to be something wrong with me as a person.
I realized that my life was so completely devoid of meaning and purpose that I'm hating on fictional characters. I always tell myself to seperate reality and fiction, but this time I couldn't do it. I see myself in Nanami too much that doing self-reflection on my own life while reading Nanami's life put me on this path of self-deprecation. It felt like I just wanted to snatch Nanami's body from her and live her life instead. Isn't that kind of creepy?
The arcade visits, culture festival, the dates, the genuine connection of being able to completely understand one another, the feeling of romantic love that doesn't waver, the self-realization of knowing what you want to do in life, the absolute certainty that this is the one you're truly meant for, the feeling of crying and comforting with one another, the complete acceptance of everything about someone, all of these are things I have not experienced, and I long for it. But as my age goes higher and higher, the sooner it feels like I have to accept the reality that I won't be able to have those kinds of experiences or feelings. I kinda feel like an incel. Or maybe I already am one and I just don't realize it yet?
The difference between Nanami and me is that one is fiction, and one is reality. Nanami got her savior, her prince in shining armor that makes her life better. But what about me? Reality is often disappointing. It is not like there is some author that will write a happy life for me; I have no certainty of what will happen to me in the future. Who knows if my life will ever get to experience the things Nanami has, even if I see so much of myself in her. This envy and jealousy just kept eating away at me chapter after chapter, but I couldn't bring myself to stop. I was too invested in them already that I needed to see them happy. At the end of the day, I was still enjoying reading this.
As far as I know, something like that happening to me will be on the same probability of something fictional coming to life. I feel this despair knowing that while I long for this kinda of scenario, it will 99.99% never happen, and that the small 00.01% is a sliver of hope or light that something miraculous will happen. I know that it is incredibly silly to be overthinking this much, but it's definitely what I feel. Reality is so trash. Couldn't I just be reborn in some kind of fictional setting? Maybe this is the reason why there's so many isekais.
I don't know if anyone who reads this will be able to understand, let alone relate to what I experienced reading this. Hell, there's not even a guarantee that at least one person would read this anyway. What I do know is that this is very important to me, and that I hope that other people who feel the same as me will be able to read this.
Because while I did say that this left a bitter taste in my mouth, it is not like I didn't enjoy it or didn't gain something from it. After all, I was only able to realize that I need to vent my emotions somewhere when the Kaoru's dad said that Kaoru needed to be more honest with himself. This is where I decided to vent. Because even if no one in the entire world reads this, I will feel better anyway knowing that I at least put out my thoughts somewhere.
That's not everything I felt while reading this manga, far from it. But I just wanted to talk about the main stuff since this message is honestly getting too long. I learned quite a lot about myself here. Even if I think it wasn't really that exciting, or if the story to me was a little bland, theres a certain charm that this has. The best thing about this manga is just seeing the self-improvement of all of these characters, albeit some of them definitely needed more screen time like the cosplayer. Maybe I'm looking at it with rose tinted glasses though. Anyway, what's my verdict for this manga?

It moves me that somebody was able to relate to and understand their own feelings thanks to this story, and realize what became a reality for them.
But a direct message for you, my friend... As someone who uses pessimism to get optimism, I say, "It's never too late too change." Strangely, my escape from depression was the conclusion that "Living is meaningless" but for some reason I began to append "...so we are allowed to find whatever gives us meaning." So I tell you that no matter how long 10 years or more or less feel, remember that we always have and always have had a limited time on this planet we call Earth. And that precisely because of that, we should spend it in a way that brings us joy, and gives ourself meaning, even if all we manage to do is leave the world with just the satisfaction of becoming somebody better, of accomplishing something important to you, no matter how trivial, means you did something worthwhile for... YOU. It's okay to be selfish sometimes. The satisfaction of helping somebody can count as being selfish. You do whatever you need to do to feel satisfied, not simply with life, but most importantly, YOURSELF.
It breaks my heart knowing there are people out there who give up on life, and I want you to understand that among the over 8 billion people who also live on this planet, there are many just like you. But unlike all of them, you received the small push to come to terms with who you are right now. You can change. It's hard, it is always hard, to do something uncomfortable or new, but all you need to do is to make that first step, to start making a change for yourself, by yourself. The first step can be anything. No internet for a day. Looking around while doing nothing outside, just staying outside to be outside. Taking a walk. Every little step, everything you do to at least try to change yourself, is a step worth taking. Remember, even if you fail, the only one who gets hurt by it is you. As we always hear people say, "When you've hit rock bottom, the only way to go is up!" If you've nothing to lose, then why not at least try?
Life can feel bleak and hopeless at times, and that's okay. We are all but a small part of how this mysterious universe works. But if there's still something you can do, because you are still alive, still on this beloved planet we inhabit, and there is something you can do. To truly give up is to simply choose to die. But you're not dead, and that is saying something. Somewhere deep in your heart, lies the desire to keep on living. Mistakes, are but a stepping stone to the path of improvement.
And I'm not just saying this for only you, but anyone who manages to stumble upon this message. You're not dead, so you still have the power to change, to make a change, and simply DO SOMETHING, for as long as you continue to live. So go out there and do something for yourself! No need to wallow in despair. But make sure to come to terms with everything about you. No need to be ashamed, just to truly understand, and accept who you are. Life, the universe, and everything is too complex for anyone to understand with just a number. But because of that complexity, there is never nothing new to learn, always something you haven't tried yet. And maybe, just maybe, when you become someone you can be proud of, you can help someone who was just like you do the same.
(can you tell I'm a self-proclaimed philosopher? I hope my words helped, good luck with your life and I hope you not only have a good day, but a good life. <3)
(also this story is a 10/10)
Thanks for the reply. I wasn't even expecting anyone to read it since this is the internet on a niche manga website. Saying words that are from the heart is already enough to make me feel better whether what you were going to say is negative or positive. By either slapping me in the face to make me get a grip or comforting me by saying something that changes my views. Admittedly, I was a bit too emotional in my message since I wrote it AS SOON as I finished it lol.
Maybe your message will be the Kaoru to my Nanami, hahaha. Or maybe, the Kaoru that I needed all along was myself. It is not like someone else is deciding my fate, after all. Maybe the "Kaoru" that I need is just right in my face and I just refuse to accept or acknowledge "his" help.
I hope that you will have a good life all the same, and that the people that somehow manage to read through the essays to learn at least something from my (admittedly) embarassing post. But, it is honestly more embarassing to me that I bottled it up rather than acknowledging it.
Thank you for finishing the translation for the whole series Moe! It really has been a wonderful read and I'm truly satisfied with the ending. I remember picking up this manga years ago and waiting every week to see if another update would drop. Congratulations on the retirement and I hope all goes well for the whole translation team in your future endeavors!!!
