hol' up, so the sister is just trauma dumping on them because her relationship failed before? (at least that's what it seems to indicate with the sister sudden memory pop out)

Once a tomboy always a tomboy no matter how feminine she looks.

Don't have much else to add other than what I wrote on the last page but just hope that some people feel encouraged to support their favorite manga if they like it, otherwise there's never a guarantee they'll continue.

A shame about the low numbers, big sis's problems were well foreshadowed. Cross shape earrings and monsters don't mix well.

I'm sorry, did we skip a chapter or two? I'm pretty sure there was supposed to be a chapter where the bitch of a sister apologises to both of them profusely in dogeza pose, while offering to commit seppuku to even attempt to earn forgiveness for all the shite she's done to them.

Oh come on, how bad could the sales really be?
According to Shoseki top 500, Garuru Girl vol 1 has sold 1,252 copies in 4 weeks
Oh...

Yeaaaaah, I think this a U19... Shame too, is quite a cute series but I can see why it just not selling. It's a romance series that is already solved, dripfed its supernatural elements too slow, doesn't really do anything with them people haven't seen before ("Oh no, I'll be stuck with cute dog ears FOREEEEVVVAAAAHHHH!!"), and ultimately drowned under the big wave of other romance stories. It's a good series but not good enough, I kind of question why it wasn't a webcomic of all things.

Thinking about it now, I doubt a single wolf would stand any chance against a rabbit that is bigger than him.

To sum it up: A cheap Nisekoi knockoff, suffering from the same fucking "we're ONLY pretending to date" (Like dude, WTF, if you commit to propose to the girl you like THEN man the fuck up and show it to the world goddamn it). I appreciate the art and a somewhat believable story (Where the dad is given a clear reason to be a worrywart, same as big sis), but this isn't going to help with the main couple being so blissfully ignorant to their immanent threat, and this just won't promise an actual interesting story where we already see it's going.

(Sorry for going on a rant Author-san, if you're reading this I apologize for the blunt feedback).

I think the subtle foreshadowing with his powers was really well done, but I suppose I shouldn't be too surprised that it's not a crazy hit. I hope it sells well enough to continue, though. These are fun designs and a fun concept, even if the antagonists are actually hard to like, something rare in this type of manga.

Thank you for the translation. I like this manga a lot it would be a shame for it to be canceled so soon. I know the shounen romcom market is pretty overloaded but it's always sad to see such a cute manga just up and vanish.
