[ScherisMarie]

I love how awkward the leads are in this manga, it’s so adorable.

 

[UncleKaos]

They are rather adorable together and funny enough i can see them having a life together for long time to come.

Who do we have to shout "SHAME" to that this manga got axed? It's so good. It should have been 100 chapters.

Agreed. I am both happy for another chapter but it also hurts cause I know we end at 20 then no more 😭

Thanks for the tl

This chapter is so cute 💕 too bad there wasn’t kissu today so, when are you two getting married? i can’t wait.

[DivyamJoshi18]

They are NOT wise at all 😭

 

[Castane]

I gotta admit... Shirakaba looks damn stacked with that dress but also modest and proper

 

[Osha]

Why are people keep assuming this got axed, didn't the author themself say they only wanted to do two volumes of this ?

If this had 100 chapters, all the progress in these 12 chapters would've been spread out in those 100 chapters.

 

[Lex79]

Uhm wasn't expecting something so modest.

 

[GranEschaton]

She keeps projecting her fantasies onto him. "Oh no, he has me cornered on the bus. He could do anything to me..." Presses the stop button like a Gentleman

 

[favine]

He noticed her hair, all.the work she did, he noticed it.

they are idiots and they are adorable.

our adorable idiots

Maybe it’s because I read a lot of yuri that is around the length of this manga, but I honestly prefer a tighter story over a long drawn out one.

Although it is annoying how most romance manga always ends with the confession, the dating awkwardness is always entertaining to see.

I couldn't find a good source for the cancellation of this manga. The latest proper news report is from 26 March 2025: https://natalie.mu/comic/news/617345

What I did find is a blog post from the original author and a Bluesky post (30 January 2026) pointing to it:

Sorry for the wait! Here's the announcement for "The Wise Lover Complete Edition" 👓️
The final chapter, plus new illustrations and revisions, will be released next month! Please check the details in the note below 🙋‍♂️ Thank you! 🐢

The blog post has a bit more detail: https://note.com/nakano_deichi/n/n1600d1c23da9

"The Wise Lover Complete Edition" will be released on February 22nd.
[...] This manga was serialized in Hakusensha's "Rakuen" web supplement from 2024 to 2025.
[...] After the release of volume 1, Hakusensha contacted me saying they wanted to release volume 2 only digitally. However, more than anyone else, I myself wanted to have my own work in physical book form...
[...] After discussions with Hakusensha, we terminated our publishing contract and were able to combine the content of volumes 1 and 2 into a single volume as the "Complete Edition." 366 pages!
[...] The physical edition will cost 2000 yen, and the digital edition will cost 1000 yen. The physical edition (limited to 500 copies) will include a free digital (PDF) file.

with tax, the digital edition is 1100 yen, which is approximately 7 (seven) US dollars, or 6 (six) euro.

I have zero experience with buying Japanese manga digitally, but it seems that at least some of the websites give a straight download of an epub file.

I love how these two idiot dorks in love go from flirting passive-aggresively to wholesome date.
Thank you for the translation!

 

[Figtree22]

THEY'RE SO CUTE

 

[Floriano]

These two doofus can be infuriating when getting carried away by the situation, but sometimes they do get carried away in a great direction.

 

[ShadesGator]

Guys, love is so beautiful, guys... 🥹

 

[JustAnotherPseudonym]

"Completely... at his mercy..."

Oho, so she's interested in that sort of thing? I see, I see.

Spoiler

Ushidome best learn some ropework.

 

[plapdaddy]

I love these two cute horny dorks.

 

[jonnywarlock]

My God... It IS a date, innit?
