Now that 24 hours have passed, I think it's about time I spill the beans.
As some of you figured out, yes, this is the actual end of the manga. This chapter was released back in June, and since then there have been no signs of it ever updating. It is in fact pulled from the 'currently serializing' list in the Magapoke website, which means it's considered officially finished. I read it when it was still being serialized, and when I finished reading this particular chapter I also didn't believe it and thought it was a fake-out. Then weeks passed and I realized this was really the end.
At first I felt horrible I actually had nightmares. Then I thought I should spread this feeling to as many people as possible. Hence the TLs. Sorry about that.
Magapoke is kind of a bitch to get raws from, I found out afterwards. I really have to thank those /a/nons who helped me get these raws. I figured Halloween would be a good time to post this sucker punch of an ending, and that I would release a chapter daily to keep the reader count from falling too much. I got these raws back in August, but because of real life stuff my TLing got delayed and delayed, and I actually finished the last chapter only around the time I had already posted half of the series here. So really I wasn't sitting back on already-finished TLs just to troll you guys. Still, sorry about that again.
Now for the serious part. I am kind of scared about the mangaka. Ever since he released the last chapter he went missing. I remember that while it was still in chapter 8 or so he was still constantly updating his Pixiv and Twitter with Game no Naka ni Iru art and other stuff, because I liked his art so I found his accounts through googling his name. But after this, he deleted all his tweets past February, all his Pixiv posts past 2015, and went completely silent. Weirdly enough he still haven't deleted his Tumblr, in which his latest art was in May. And going through his archive it turned out he planned this manga since May last year.
What I think happened was that he was excited about doing all this stuff but the manga was too unpopular. The manga got cancelled and he probably got so mad he made this disaster of an ending and purged all the manga-related stuff, then decided to leave the manga scene altogether since people will be pestering him about this ending over and over. At least that's what I hope happened. I don't really like thinking about the worst-case scenario, but that fact that his Twitter posts AND likes end in February is really ominous. I really hope he comes back because otherwise there's a chance that he, well, killed himself and I just TLed a bunch of somebody's last works just to screw around with a bunch of foreigners. Or maybe I'm remembering things wrong and he hasn't actually used his Pixiv. I don't know, I'm just so confused I'm doubting myself.
This didn't go as well as I would have liked. I'm really sorry.
