One of the shorter series I've translated, so not tooo much of an investment (even if it feels longer because of that hiatus), but I'm still sad about how it ended up. I think, looking back, there
are signs foreshadowing this, and even though it does feel rushed, I don't really see any way of killing off Kyou that would've made me feel like "Oh man, can't wait to see where the story goes from here".
Don't know what that bit with the mom/dad was all about. Maybe trying to push an idea about how not letting go of stuff/moving on is bad?
Anyway, I loved the art of the series, the early drama, and, of course, Kyou. I think my favorite part of the series was after the date, when Kyou was in the bathroom lamenting that he's a guy, and that he just wanted a hairpin. I love those series that deal with gender, or wishing you were the other gender so your sexuality would be more accepted (or your love would be requited?).
Last thought - I've recently picked up another series,
Dou ka Kimi ni Abakaretai. There are only 2 chapters out (very recent), so I can't promise an ending, but the first chapter does have a flash forward to where they're doing well. The 1st (and 2nd, when it came out) chapter gave me vibes of Riki and Kyou, in a Taishou AU but without Kagami around, so I'd love it if you checked it out. Though, for better or for worse, it definitely lacks some of that sweet, sweet, toxicity.
