@GodGinrai "Show's over, onto the next manga!"
I mean, these first three chapters are basically a repeat of the entire plot of
The Garden of Words, so it wouldn't even be the first time we've encountered a story that ended in such a manner.
Thus, if this manga really does end here, it's going to completely be overshadowed by Garden of Words. Oh, not because of Garden of Words's excellent artwork, animation, and directing.. but for this manga's lack of shoes. Garden of Words made it clear that shoes are very important plot devices. Well, we don't know for sure that this manga is over yet, right? So there still should be some time to.. shoe some in. 🙄
