Girl got double teamed :dogkek:

And I'm not even surprised about the axe anymore :shamihuh:
Being a yuri fan in today's economy is suffering :fml:🚬

Yo. New clingy jelous girlfriend just dropped. She's perfect :3

So who do I blame for this axe? The execs? The people who buy gooner isekai harem manga instead of manga with a soul? Aliens?

Peak get s axed and slop gets renewed indefinitely. I'm dead inside :meguuusad:
To be fair, when you make a 7 Chapter Prologue, its gonna be hard sell for most tbh... like seriously, why?

I feel this is kind of the rare case where the axe... as much as it sounds crazy, sorta fits? Sasuke just kinda took too long to capture interest, and it cost em. I dont hate what they tried, but that opening set of multiple chapters that feels like it'd happen in merely one big chapter killed any momentum it could've had imo.

It's one of those really unfortunate times when good story telling =/= good serialized story telling.

I had no problems with the pacing of the early chapters. I liked it the entire way through. It just felt like a normal manga. No more difficult than the set up for Shadows House for example.

Maybe people are adverse to a little mystery, but more likely pocket money in Japan only goes so far in the current economy and it simply didn’t sell enough volumes. Theres been a rash of cancellations lately. Living past the first serialization contract is tough.

God, Hanako and Nanase's dynamic this chapter... It's so cute and unique. As much as I enjoyed the first volume of this series, I really can't help but wonder how this manga would have fared if it got to the point quicker :aquadrink:

Thank you for the TL.

And the thing is, I dont disagree. It dragged a bit, but I didnt mind too much.

But this isnt really about us at this stage is it? Its evident it wasnt doing good enough if its getting this quick of an axe. And considering the premise is pretty damn good all things considered, it leads to my thinking that the first 7 chapters of setup unfortunately killed interest for many.

Quite a shame indeed, but I sadly kinda get why.

I get that comepletely. But sometimes ya gotta invest for a pay off. Let em cook for a while ya know.

If a story takes 7 chapters to take off but ends up being really good it's worth the investment imo. It's not like a game where it only gets good AFTER 20 hours of mid.

It's hard to ask someone to pay money every month for something when they may not like where it ends up going. So I get it. But the amount of money and patience that is afforded to instant gratification slop is depressing.
