AHHHHH DONT GIVE UP I BELIEVE IN YOU AOKO!!!

Thanks for another great scanlation <3

I thought there'd be a mini arc before she goes to Finland, but that was half a chapter! That's a micro-arc.

Aoko is certainly challenging her anxiety. I guess that's enough growth and change? Now we wait until she finds him. Maybe he's already back in Japan! 🤣

 

[Laparoscopic]

I would think that the name of the pottery shop he worked in would be most useful…

Thank you for your continued support! It does not go unnoticed!!

He was a pottery artisan, therefore did not work for any studio.

Chapter 21 explains why he couldn’t go back to his previous space.

 

[Crystalball]

He went into the wilderness and set himself on fire. The end.

I'll give Aoko credit for stepping way out of her comfort zone. I was sorta hoping she'd go to Finland just so we could see it in the background art.

Will she be able to return with at least the snacks the one coworker wanted?
(lol)

who hurt you

 

[HoneyPopper]

the montage was cliche but I applaud the author's step outside of their comfort zone, quite literally for Aoko.
She's never even been outside of that small town but she's managed to work / get over her anxiety and fly all the way overseas.
I love how everyone at the studio was like "yeah, we knew. where have you been?" vibes.

Now, I really really really hope the author won't eff us up by giving a tragic twist or shit like that.

It's already rare to see natural English in manga so getting correct Finnish was even more surprising. Excluding two missing letters ("Jokin aika" instead of "jonkin aikaa"), the woman's lines were perfect.

Ahhhhhhh. Aoko. 🥲

Time to scour the entire country. Finland can't be that big. You can do it!

While Finland technically isn't all that big, there's still as many people as half of Tokyo scattered around, who don't speak the same language as Aoko (who is also abroad for the first time in her life), with only a week to spare it's definitely not an easy task w

At least it didn't immediately go to seeing him with another woman

That's the number one romance trope that I'm tired of.

I still feel like there's going to be a misunderstanding with the girl that would hang at the workshop he used to go to before the fire, though.

 

[Regular_user2]

Thank you for the chapter!

While I appreciate the realism of the situation, I hope she finds him soon just so that my suffering will end lol

 

[Beregorn]

Ahhhhhhh. Aoko. 🥲

If he is even in Finland: maybe he met an Italian engraver and they are currently living in a house-laboratory overlooking the gulf of Naples...
