[Strela]

Same name with that cute line sticker, but damn this is heavy

Menhera's slang for mental health in Japanese. So the title could also be translated to "Mentally Ill-chan/girl" or something.

 

[Anonyan]

damn I wasn't expecting this real shit

 

[NippleToaster]

No update since the initial one five months ago. Looking forward to when it comes back!

@Taran_p
fuck, thats depressing. the translation of that blog post is also incredibly depressing.
"He was like a Hidamari, full of tenderness, and it was fun and fun to be together.

Oh, but I'm lonely. I'm lonely."

One of the most unexpected and brilliant works I've read. Without a doubt worth reading and sharing.

I hope someone picks it up! This series really leaves a strong impression...

 

[cloudstriker]

If someone can help me with the translations, I would be willing to work on this series as I've got the raws to "Menhera-chan" and some of Toko Kotoha's other works

 

[Criscore]

So the author died very young and she made this based on her very own experience. That's just way too sad goddamnit

 

[mario_head]

I read a lot of this translated on Manga Rock before they started shutting it down and knowing Toko Kotoha passed away makes me especially sad, even more so since I haven’t been able to determine the cause and can’t help but think it a suicide

 

[Natralsbro]

What is the cause of the author’s death? I can’t find info about her anywhere

 

[TheGTF]

@Natralsbro it probably has not been reported beyond what you can read in the posted article as "accidental" . All the same, the description link is misleading because this story was finished and published back in 2012, both volumes releasing at the same time. The "hence no more chapters" implies this was an ongoing series until her death in 2018 when it's been over for years before then.

 

[Natralsbro]

Since the author has passed away, is this manga not going to have a ending?

 

[TheGTF]

@Natralsbro Like I said to you before: this series has been over for 8 years already, that it's already concluded and finished. It was complete upon its printing back in 2012- both volumes were released at the same time.

 

[AirCanister]

Now knowing the background of the author, the cute art of this manga, and the short but "sweet" story, this has got to be one of the most emotional stories I've read.
Edit: NEED MORE, it's getting better now that the romance is starting to kick in.
