This needs a tag called 'depressing-as-f*ck'...

Reminds me of a few anime (can't remember which) I've watched that have the couples that are permanently separated at the end.

Why didn't they met after the war ended? Are they stupid?
The panel she’s looking up at the sky with a camera in her hand is presumably around when it happens. We see the papers she’s written reach the actor AFTER the war ends. Then the next panel we see Shion writing the papers and it ends when she looks at the sky. Why would everyone in a crowd be looking up and scared/angry? Because they are bombing the city.

Ahhh, just what I needed on this lovely Sunday morning here. A dose of depression.

Really (bitter)sweet story, thanks for the translation, :')

(have to say, I kinda had that foreshadowing coming on the moment I read the city is Shanghai)

Guess I was the stupid one...
Now it just makes me resentful of Shion. Shiulang was completely right on page 38.

Even if she made it through the War for China the war doesn't end in 1945, not really, the civil war gets going immediately afterwards until 1949 and each half of China turns into a brutal.murderous dictatorship. As a journalist Shion is on the chopping block in the short term or long term depending on her politics.

This could only go one way once we saw "1931". The journalist clearly isn't the type to put herself over whatever cause she believes in, so of course she wouldn't flee the war.
