All they need to finish this story off is having a bonus final chapter where Asahina finally comes back, tries to find him and runs into everyone grown up in the attempt, find out he's already dead(from crime or whatever, his path wasn't a good one), and she leaves a bento on his grave for him.

What an odd series. I guess it got cancelled or something? The ending is definitely tonally correct, but it doesn't really felt built up to in terms of real momentum.

While the plot stumbled here and there, clumsy more than bad, taken as a whole it was pretty good. The ending was quite "good", if decidedly bittersweet and slightly uncertain.

As ever, thank you for carrying it through.

Huh. So the whole underage prostitutes thing had no actual meaning in the story other than shock value. Pretty shitty writing tbh.

Hes just gonna wait for her while continuing to get rammed in the ass by that fat dude?
lol there's no way this would've even been good. There was no reason for his friend to like him and for him to be a male escort. Still read it tho

A odd series that had some surprising dark topics, never really felt like it found its footing between wholesome and dark, but this is a sweeter ending than I expected after the early stuff. Knowing this has a Light novel makes me realize this is just an ad for that, especially with the whole hostess stuff that was never adressed by fmc. This is probably the best outcome we coulda hoped for.

Thank you for translating it to the end.

So, the two of the characters are still just compulsory-education-aged students doing sex work as regular employees for a madam at a sex shop???
They're outside of that age range (compulsory education in Japan ends after middle school) but... yeah. Best not dwell on that too much.

Does anyone else feel bad for Yui? Not only did the plot not finish but she got no backstory at all (except for her life probably being shit too). RIP

Feels like there are so many lose ends not explained or touched. Wouldn't even call it a proper ending mid is mid I guess.

Somehow it manages to not be a disappointing ending but it really feels like the drama was too much for the own good of the series. The plot around food and self could have been done without the child prostitution and the shitty mother imo. Thanks for the ride tho !

End without the taste of her bento

It was pretty good I wish it went through more of the past or at least where they work how they got there and that one woman other than that it was a good story
