Depressing to be sure, but if the two of them can pull through this it'll feel like they fought for their happy ending.

[Nekotyto]

she is a self centered whiney person with no redeeming qualities
her depression is self inflicted but acts like its the worlds fault

I clicked from the girl's love tag, and got hooked by the vivid representation of being a loser non-binary sapphic artist. So much of this hits incredibly closs to home, genuinely made me cry.
Looking forward to reading more of this!

I hate ren bcs they were so similar to me, ykw i mean. I hope so. I want to use clothes like baggy or boyish style too, not to wear sum dress, kinda complicated. And they're being loser makes it more similar to me lol

Holy shit Shimizu's ex husband is a scumbag, pressuring her into stealing money to solve HIS gambling debts and then letting her take the fall for it.

I'm absolutely loving this series, I hope it gets an official release soon but in the meantime thank you so much for translating it for us.

never thought i'd see a manga title use "saudade" in it, honestly it's what drew me in. for anyone wondering, it's a portuguese word that's untranslatable in english, which means "an emotional state of melancholic or profoundly nostalgic longing for a beloved yet absent someone or something" (wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saudade).

it's deeply rooted in lusophone culture due to to centuries of separation and displacement. portugal was a seafaring empire for hundreds of years, and people routinely left home knowing they might never return, which made absence and longing a constant part of everyday life. that feeling carried over into other portuguese-speaking places too, especially brazil, through colonization, forced migration, and later waves of immigration. if anyone's interested there's some more interesting information under the wikipedia page i linked.

it really is a striking word choice for a story about not fitting into the world and longing for something/someone you can’t quite reach anymore.
