Would've liked if he ended up with "asa-nee" but I can understand why not, not bad.

Thx for the TL

ngl, i guess I felt ok about this ending, its cus of how widespread of time of the chapters, so I forgot a lot of the plot, but my rating of it was a 7/10, so i can keep it like this. The ending was bittersweet but nice. I think I was like a lot of people who were hoping he ends with asa-nee, but this is fine. Thank you for finishing the translations for this manga.

No GILF love ending.

 

[HawkGoggles]

Nothing like tragic yuri being the backbone of my stories of a young boy's first love and adolescence... How does that keep sneaking in here.

I get why it feels bittersweet if you wanted Asa-nee endgame. But I read it as mostly hopeful: she survives and builds a stable happy life, and he grows up by realizing he loved an idealized version, not the real her. The only ‘bitter’ part is letting go of that fantasy.

I don't agree, and even if it's not a great ending is still an ok one; NilLion described it perfectly

Looks like Christmas came right on schedule this year. A much happier ending than I expected. Somehow it turned out ok for everyone ...Well, except that poor bully-girl who never learned any independence and became a useless single mother. It never worked out for her.

Yes thats the point it was obvious from the getgo and imagine trying to build a relationship based on an idealized past. Many idiots in the comments referring to Miyuki by "Asa-nee" (someone else's name btw, the real Asako is dead) and not her real name are inadvertently proving my point clinging onto the cope and fantasy. It simply never was happening.

What happened to Sachiko's bully? Is she dead?

Hopefully she got a job at a convenience store or some shit.

What a lackluster ending. After all of that he didn't even get the chance to mount her by the end of the story. Not even once. And their reunion...I expected Asako to react more than she actually did. It seemed she genuinely forgot about him while he was tormented by her absence. I suppose that comes with becoming a hag?

At last the ending in English, thank you very much! In truth I'd seen the RAW ending years ago and then the Spanish version some months ago so I knew the beats, but it's only a complete experience when you fully understand everything.
It's as close to a realistic happy ending as one can get, in fact is better than this, it's perfect closure, such a rare thing to get in stories like this, I wish it was more common. But alas, I'm very happy with this ending, truly beautiful! And again, thanks for translating!

This ending feels....weird? It's not terrible, but the pacing of the mystery of Miyuki's past feels off. Especially with Sachiko. She's so important to Miyuki's character but she gets introduced at the last possible second. It doesn't feel right.

 

[Imryse]

I am glad they found her, but NGL, this ending is kinda disappointing. definitely feels like it was axed in chapter 29. thanks for the translation though.

Any manga recommendations like this with a gilf ending?
