Kisaragi-san wa Gankoukeikei - Vol. 3 Ch. 16 - Memories for them alone.

[Daymare]

With every axed romcom we stray closer and closer to the Heisei era

ALMIGHTY AXE HAS STRUCK AGAIN...

 

[araya_tatsuya]

why .........i mean it had a wholesome feel to it .....never seemed boring ...why do you do this to us axe kun

 

[squeegee-c]

I am so sad this is getting axed! Why are they doing this 😭 This manga was legitimately good. Kisaragi and Satou are much better characters than many run-of-the-mill romance protags. I will mourn for the loss of this manga…I love romances with women like Kisaragi

Thanks for translating this through to the end!

75% of this manga was wasted on the school festival. What a shitload of ass

...This is why we can't have nice things.

Why do I feel like this got the axe because depressive herbivore incel otakus want their fluffy generic moeblob waifus instead of a girl with quirks and uniqueness?

DO BETTER, JAPAN!

Bro I feel like there are so many smaller, lesser-known romcoms that get Heisei confession-at-the-end endings just cos the author has to rush due to the axe. I mean there's nothing wrong with keeping this on the shorter side with a confession now and an end at chapter 50.

Yes!Yes!Yes!No!Yes!Yes!No!No!No!

E- EEEEEEEEEH FINAL CHAPTER????
NO

 

[MrBump]

I ain’t bothering with the final chapter I guess. I’d honestly prefer mangakas to just make a statement saying it’s not carrying on and leave it at that. I’d prefer it to rushing an ending with the most cookie cutter confession, like it was seen a mile away.

I wasn’t that into this story but still sucks to see.

Lets be real, it probably doesn't help that a big portion of the audience that likes this manga is reading it for free in another country...sad to see the series go I wanted to see more of Kisaragi's beautiful younger brother too

 

[chusetto]

The did THE FIREWORKS CONFESSION... but this time she heard

Actually, that doesn't really matter to the editors when there's no official release outside Japan.

Edit: Sorry for doubleposting

 

[izumabakumatsu]

Well, better a nice ending in a wholesome plot than a dragged story with unexpected love rivals and unending drama.

Also, I can't be the only one who laughed at the panel with the Choco Banana. Just seemed so amusing. 😅

While I fully support purchasing and supporting official english releases, the truth is, we are functionally irrelevant in the grand scheme of manga continuations. The numbers on mangadex are a drop in the ocean to what the management of the magazines are looking at.

Even if every single person who ever read a chapter of this online financially supported this manga to the fullest reasonable extent it still would've eaten the axe, even if Kaguya and Komi had never been fantraslated and not a soul on this site had heard of them, they still wouldve gotten an official english release.

Outside of a few specific cases that broke into mainstream(Naruto, Dragonball, etc.) The consistent, non-japanese online manga reading community is maybe a generous handful of hundred thousands, likely far less. The people who make axe decisions are thinking on a scale of millions.


TL;DR English online reading with no support has zero effect on officially published manga and does way more harm to self/indie published or webcomic manga artistes

When you thought BOOM!! messed up your confession but she had good ears...

P.S. and seriously final chapter 🤐

 

[Nolzi]

Oh no, Axe-kun, yamete!

It wouldn’t be accessible to us any other way though. Stories like these don’t typically get picked up for official translations until they’re proven popular by the Japanese.
