What kind of amusing is that the thing sells fairly well.
But I guess it's really fall into publishing and author wanting to continue it or not.
The story does seems warping up.
Kareshi tokidoki Kanojo is a much fresh approach imo although this one is a curse as well but you have the curse applied to multiple people and the latest chapter (7.2)
She has a promise to finish her Novel.
That novel is about them.
And it ends by saying I love you to Kaori.
Maybe having to see through the ends Kaori at least pass away in peace.
