Of the mangas that I recently completed, this has the most satisfying ending. I honestly really enjoyed it, it raps up everything well, and shows off how the main cast ended up with happy endings for all of 'em. Thanks for all your translations. May everyone reading this live a long and fulfilling life.

So happy about this ending. Hiroko is now taking the lead instead of Ayaka. She's home early and she's pinching her cheeks. She's cooking for her. Then that was a lovely embrace. What was great was that Hiroko was the one who surprised Ayaka by grabbing and kissing her (at work), when you'd think it would be the other way around. She's really continued to evolve with help from the people around her. Not to mention that she's promoted. Ayaka is a leader now. Their living together, super happy and in love. Risa is living her best life. Happy all around. It's hilarious that they're basically an open secret, even moreso after getting caught making out! Old Hiroko would never.

While I agree that here or in any other company (irl too) you don't need to share your personal life, I'm glad that the kiss happened at the end in public, sends a stronger message and specially it shows that Hiroko san can truly change after all... But the part of not doing everything they want in their apartment, well, I don't get it that much.
Thanks for the translation! it was very fun, frankly irritating at times (all thanks to Hiroko) but still very nice.

You know what I'm going to miss most ? when the characters in the background go :0

This was a delightful and satisfying wrap-up! Really liked this one, it blended societal pressure and personal trauma about coming out in a way that felt authentic and light-handed. The comedic moments were fun, the serious moments were tense, and we got the sexy ending we all wanted. In the end, the lesson was that even if changing society is a big and long-term challenge, it starts with acts of bravery and love.

wish they got together sooner but still a good manga. it could use just an extra chapter of them actually being girlfriends.
extra points for risa getting together with bar lady, could smell it coming a mile away but nice to see it confirmed.

i'm more happy for risa tbh, she gets to enjoy her big boob milf, with ayaka and hiroko it's just more a of a "it's finally over" sort of thing, i mean i did enjoy it and i appreciate that they showed how bad internalised homophobia can be but like even then it was a bit ridiculous so i can't really say that i feel anything special towards the main pair getting together finally

Thank you so much for finishing this one! <3

Honestly, it feels like this was a really good ending. Even though we circled the drain one too man times, we still got there at a reasonable pace and found a happy compromise. I think the only thing I am slightly disappointed in is that we never got even a little bit of steamy story between the two. Maybe in a volume extra or something? Regardless, this will be one of my favorites for a long time, I'm sure~

It definitely needed more chapters with more fun moments. Liked how it handled everything at the end but the drama before this really left a sour taste.
Realistic? sure, probably.
Fun to read? Not for me honestly.
This will probably be a much better read if you binge it though.

The drama in the middle overstayed its welcome a bit too much, but it didn’t take too much away of the story. The kiss was excellent, though. A solid 7/10 for me. Hope to see more works from Sal Jiang-sensei.

Thanks for the great translation.

It's really sad that only in the very final chap do we get some ACTUAL gay love and joy.

I am not a fan of love stories where 99% of the story is just conflict and drama, and ONLY at the very end does the author throw us a bone.
