I feel strangely sad to read this chapter especially when the the main series is currently going through the graduation arc. I wish both of these series to last forever, but their ends seem nigh 😢 At least this spinoff may stay for a bit longer after the main series ends.
@Ingway Can't remember which chapter exactly was it, but I'm pretty sure...
Near the end of the school festival, Shirogane said he's going to leave the school a half year early after the second year to get a head start in Stanford. That's why he confessed to Kaguya, because that would be the last school festival they can enjoy together. Kaguya then agreed that she'll go abroad with him, but as you said, that's still undecided as far as the current stories goes.
So, in the end, they only have a few months remaining to stay in Japan after their second year ends in the current graduation arc. Don't think that's a lot of time unless the author really stretches out some of the arcs after the graduation arc.
@hungrylm it's the graduation arc for the thirdyears, the main cast isn't in third year.
anyways I'm so happy I gave this series another shot after being underhwelmed when it was first getting translated. It's really come into its own and it's super enjoyable.
Karen and Erika will get wind of Prez and Kaguya leaving for abroad together and them hooking up respectively but decide to hide it from the other baka out of fear for their mental well being.
Just today, my childhood friend and I were discussing about which high schools we're going to go in the future. Turns out, we're going to different schools... We've been together since elementary school, so I get Karen and Erika's feelings here...
@SuperOniichan lol. Imagine them actually applying to and getting accepted into Stanford just to follow Shinomiya and Kaguya all the way to the US and continue their fantasizing gigs in the new post-manga series.
@HungryIm And so on and so forth. I can already see lines like "Karen, we are 30-year-old women, but we still live together and gossip about Kaguya and Shirogane. Does that bother you?"
