Man, I was surprised to see this in my feed. Really liked this series, it's a shame it got axed or whatever (there were a couple of times that the mangaka also had delays in releases, and included explanations about how sorry they were for it, and I'm guessing the scheduling of a weekly release manga was just really hard on them - they also could've had health issue, I dunno).

In any case, it was a nice fluffy series.
And, oh, this chapter just highlights the sheer fucking absurdity Japan has with dyed hair. The one highly publicized incident where a school tried to coerce a western student in a Japanese school to break the school's own rules/regulations and dye their hair to match the Japanese students filled me with a third-hand rage I didn't know was possible. And, yeah, Japanese students in schools with such regulations often have to go to a fucking Doctor to get an "excuse note" proving that their hair is, indeed, that color naturally.

Fucking hell, Japan...

Yeah, I think think the series could have easily gone for another twenty or maybe thirty chapters but I don't believe that it was axed or anything. The author in general seemed to be pretty tired a lot of the time; I think that they probably worked another job on top of publishing the series and my theory is that they decided that it was too much and ended it off a bit early.
While I would have liked to enjoy the characters for a bit longer, if it meant stretching it out to be waaay too long by making Yuuto ten times the density of mud instead of just three I would far prefer the ending we've got now.
It was a good one? two? years working on this project. It's almost like a time capsule of sorts for me- you can see how my lettering has changed as you read through the chapters.

Thanks for the chapter! On page two that should be "Do you think this is acceptable?!" instead of "this this".

There's even been students that sued over that bullshit, dying their hair repeatedly took a toll on it, plus the emotional toll. Seems many of Japan's teachers are obsessive assholes regarding hair color. I doubt they handle exchange students that don't have black hair very well.

They're also obsessed with girl's skirt lengths, since those are in the school uniform rules. Can you imagine having a teacher take a freaking ruler out to measure your skirt? It'd be humiliating. And of course they don't do anything as humiliating to the boys.
