Thanks for covering this the whole way! It's been an amazing series, and unless the last 2 chapters pull some generational fumble, it'll continue to be one of my absolute favorites. The pacing has been perfect, and everything that needed to be said was said. I'd felt it was appropriate to end this volume, and I'm glad it did.

The split-second thoughts were cute. Plus, they're also wearing rings in the last image.

Sigh, I hope they give us the good ending with Fuyu-chan being all happy. Poor girl struggled for so long.


The art is also just simply great, top3 yuri from just the artwork alone. Thank you everyone for sharing the ride now that we know the end is near :meguuusad:

I still suspect the final two chapters will be time skips of sorts - like an extended epilogue possibly (hopefully) from Fuyuki and from Eri's points of view, giving the emotional beats of their time together from the end of the previous chapter into the indeterminate future, rather than telling specific concrete events in real-time like we've seen for the most part up to now.

Which, might work well, even if it sucks knowing the end is nigh - everything's been so well-crafted and lovingly told up to this point, that I can't help but feel confident that even an overture of their lives from this point forward will leave their stories feeling complete, or at least with some amount of proper closure.

I'm assuming next chapter will deal with the reactions to their new relationship, including from Kyo and also Fuyuki's friend, etc. We likely need to wrap those arcs into this ending somehow. Then the final chapter will maybe be some of what you're suggesting, possibly a time skip at the end. We'll probably also focus on the wedding day for much of the final chapter, finishing up that whole scene after he leaves the car, and leading to the announcement image with their wedding rings. If it does end on a "wedding day" between the two, I'd love if we got their vows; that would be beyond cathartic after everything. Plus that could serve the dual purpose of showing us how they've progressed after the time jump.

I just hope we get well over 100 pages between the final two chapters. I feel like that's a given, seeing how long each chapter has been up to now, but a proper epic final chapter that gives space to everything and doesn't rush their outro, would be nice to see.

Just three chapters left makes me think that the wedding will be between Fuyuki and Eri, there's not a lot of time to set up a twist (either with a side pairing, or one of them marrying someone else).

It's actually 2 chapters. When they said "3 parts," they meant that chapter 24 will be released all at once, and chapter 25 will be split into two parts for the online release (like most chapters have been). The TL normally waits for both parts of a chapter to release before they post.

Ending in 2 chapters is rather abrupt imo. No space left to establish anything properly so its "we are together THE END" type of shit i guess.
