was this just cancelled or what it ends in the middle?
Likely canceled. It was okay but not interesting enough for major audience.
Not really for boys, boys aren't really in braiding hair and not really for girls (girls mangas have different male leads).
It's okay for older folk but older folk read books and novels more for that kind of content.
Also it was somewhat realistic and natural which is counter to the usual fake ass artificial drama fueled shit. So most readers aren't as engaged in the content. Also author dropped a few truth bombs to the readers through side characters which might have pissed off usual rom-com (harems) fans (fecal matter eaters (i was the same but through experience i became fecal matter sommeliers)).
