unfortunate that it ended before the author completed the story they had in mind, but it was delightfully refreshing and more than a little original.
I wonder if it was a sales issue - the concept is fairly off the beaten path, and "famous painters = magical reincarnators" might be a touch too niche to hit the audience metrics necessary, perhaps? Author blames themself, but that's not necessarily the case in the saturated world of manga.
But, a neat story, and I hope the author finds more success on their future endeavors.
Thanks for TL'ing this series. Was a fun read, even if short.
