Interesting story about the social stigmas of unwed 30's women in Japan.

But anybody who picks this up for TL is gonna have to work their ass off, cause this story is already 100+ chaps long, and has a shit ton of walls of text to translate.

That's a huge task to ask of someone. Anyone who dares to try it, good luck, and please take healthy breaks to avoid getting carpal tunnel working on this.

Yeah, I'm starting to understand why this hasn't been picked up yet :') at the very least, starting around chapter 13 each chapter becomes about 12 pages instead of 24 so they aren't quite as long even if they're still just as wordy.

Damn, just in one chapter but I think they already throw in a couple of stuff already contributing these lonely deaths. Either being childless, or with a child,daily stress, grumpy people, or just being asshole.

Pretty much nothing in this story has been specifically about social stigmas of unwed 30's women in Japan.

Also an interesting conclusion to make after a chapter which states that 3 out of 4 people dying alone are men. Literally that "1 in 4 homeless are women" meme

I'll be honest, we'll be lucky if this even gets picked up as a full time translation work, so I won't think too hard about something that we may never see translated to the end at all.

It is THAT much of a hard manga to work on from what I saw in the raws. 100+ chaps full of very complex and in depth walls of text translations is crazy to ask from someone.

You make good points, problem is I don't know if we will ever get to see the pay off.

If I see that a consistent translation continues, THEN I will go all in on theorycrafting about this interesting and well thought out story.
