Aaahhh, I'll miss this story and the characters so much :-( I'm still convinced that Imari is in love with Asahi (and vice-versa?), they're just not doing anything drastic about it, and in a way that kind of comfortable distance suits them. Loved how he tucked Asahi into bed lol. Botan and Kaoru are so cute too, I would love to read more stories about them all as adults. Bummer that this was cut so short, I get that it's a very niche kind of story but still. I thought it was really touching and special, wish more people gave it a chance.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for the translations, these past few chapters have been a joy to read thanks to the beautiful quality of your work <3 Hope to see it again someday!!

I really think she was overworked and three stories at once with two in one genre limited the appeal of something in a new one.
She’s known for BL, focused on romance and slice of life with no plot aside romantic development. No need for plot, characters are great, focus is laughs and love.
Suddenly this artist who is famous (drama cd, anime, movie, stage play…) for one specific thing is working in a new genre and a third story slows her release schedul?
Not enough new fans are not gonna come without expectation.
She was going for Kono Oto Tomare with less intensity in the club anctivi plot and more focus on character motivations, I think.
If Stephen King‘s fifth novel was a dramatic, swashbuckling novel full of romance I don’t know that it would have sold.
, not matter how good it was.
She also doesn’t have experience with plot, as opposed to emotion and down-to-Earth storytelling. I didn’t really know what kind of story I was reading.
There was more subtext than text!
Romance, angst, joy, pain… it was all there, but bubbling under the surface for us to find. Could have used more dynamic presentation.
I am not saying this was a bad manga. I’m saying a story this involved as a new venture into another genre was perhaps biting off more than she could chew.
