Darn it. No epilogue chapter of them or even with their kids. I love the illustrations from all the artists adding their own preferences on these characters. It was a great ride so thank you for this extra & for the translations.

all the art by the shounen artists were great, hell aka drew platinum shino. gotta say, the scene where she leaned on naoya resonated with me.

The afterword(comic) really drives the point that Hiroyuki was really on the ropes with this series. Explains how the ending was written.

Weeks after reading the ending, I’d still say it could be better, yes, but thinking back at least it’s all wrapped up somehow with confessions and commitments from all the characters. He called it quits before the comedy well truly dried up. Hope his next series will be even better, whenever that is.

I really like how all these different artists came out to celebrate Hiroyuki like this. I can put aside my feelings about the ending and appreciate just how sweet of a gesture this really is. I'll be looking forward to Hiroyuki's next work.

Thank you for the translation (we can't forget to shine the spotlight on you: the one who saw this through to the end and maintained good quality throughout).

I'm glad that he still plans to do more manga in the future, given he's low key one of my favorite comedy mangakas. I don't wanna see him collapse from overwork so hopefully he finds a new way that works out for his lifestyle (maybe bi-weekly or monthly releases)

Hearing him say he "dropped Aho Girl" hit me hard, was really hoping to see more of that universe.

Other than that, really love this end piece to this series, and the love across the manga platform of mangaka's, most of which I'm proud I knew who drew them from first sight!

Can't wait for his next work!

I don't think the comedy was in any danger of "drying up", but I do agree that this afterword confirms just how much of a strain this weekly serialization was on the author.
I just wish he could have changed schedules instead of ending the story. It's not something that's unheard of.
