@OsisNie Your sacrifice will not go unnoticed or be in vain. If it makes you feel better, I was hoping the extra chapter will give a more respectable closure or hell even a time skip of them being together. NOPE. The author decided to reinforce their lackluster conclusion so I have to dock down more points for this. Regardless thank you for the translations & hope the author's next work will be better (if anyone gives them the chance after reading this epilogue).

I didn’t think it was that bad of an ending but I’m super happy for a small follow up! I still like these two and want to see them get together.

I kinda disagree. We moved from her not thinking that they were friends - which would be more than weird and was my most notable issue with the ending, by far - to her being aware that she just spouted random stuff out of panic, and not being able to tell what her new, first-discovered feelings are exactly. Which is IMHO fair for her first love and such. There are even obvious hints that she is interested, so now it's mostly a typical open-ended'ish finish.

It's still rather lackluster, but a significant improvement nonetheless.

I had to reread the last chapter to remember the full content and names.

So, after rejecting him and staying as friends, they're hanging out again for the first time after that event.
The story remains open-ended, with the heroine wondering if her feelings for him is the same as her female friend, as friends.

In the end, she's afraid that by the time she'll figure that out (whether she likes him as a friend only or romantically), he'll reject her instead.

Bizarre epilogue.
This Manga was charming at first from its simple allure of her looks and his love for it, and it became fairly interesting with his friends in the mix, but the progress, events, and sudden finale to end up being friendzoned, to now presenting even less closure with this depressing aftermath makes this Manga worse than it already was from how incredibly disappointing it was.

I don't comprehend the reasoning, but fortunately, (off their Twitter) they don't seem to hint any intention of continuing this story.

Hopefully their latest publishing or new work is better.
This Manga remains a 3/10. So disappointing.

A genius move by the mangaka. Instead of us forgetting a lackluster ending to a short story, he makes his audience mad with an epilogue chapter that makes the lackluster ending even worse! Now we won't forget because we're too mad! Genius! Pure genius!!

I always love reading the extra chapter after a manga ends. Literally excited to see this manga has one and the result is just me looking like a goddamn Sacabambaspis

wait is is going to continue or not. Having such low self esteem makes people question everything.
