So yeah, this is the end. Hope you, at least somewhat, enjoyed this ride. Again, i apologize if the tl is a bit poorly edited at times or inaccurate, but don't think there were any huge lore breaking mistakes that completely throw off the story. I was expecting this work to last longer when i started translating it, but yeah it is what it is. Certainly wish myself there was more and there was more i wanted to see, but still had fun for what it is, whether intentional or not.

I feel satisfied despite the rushed ending. I really would've loved to see more from the series, there were obviously a lot of ways the story could've been expanded upon. but I enjoyed the ride nonetheless.
Big ups to @Sovyonok for the translation. If you ever pick up another series though feel free to slow it down on the releases. As much as I personally enjoyed seeing a couple of chapters updated on a daily don't burn yourself out for the sake of manga.

There are still many things that are unexplained and things sure get rushed, but nevertheless, it is a pretty good read.

Thanks, appreciate it and yeah i'll probably slow down if i pick up something else in the future lol. Not just because of health but also i did miss some miniscule stuff because of it, so that's a lesson learned. Was a fun experience tho and deffo makes me appreciate more skilled translators even more.

I had a feeling we were at the climax. Unlike their previous series I felt like this was designed to be short. Would make a great movie tbh. Thanks for the chapters and the work ! Hope you find something else to work on next.

It's... I mean I'll be honest, a lot of my motivation for reading was simply BRRRRRRRRRRRRRR SHORT HAIRED TOMBOY DOING TOMBOY THINGS drilling straight into my brain. I liked Manatsu, and I liked a lot of the concepts shown in the very beginning, even if there was a feeling of "by the numbers". But like, about 2/3 of the way, it went into serious crunch time. I had a faint premonition when Hagane showed up out of the blue like a deus ex machina. It definitely felt anticlimactic.

All things being equal, it was a fun, light sci-fi story that definitely would have played out better if given another, say, thirty to forty chapters.... somewhere around that. I doubt it would have been an all time classic even with the extra length, but Manatsu's a likeable lead and the author has a pleasant art style. I was very eager to see more landscape shots, like the last chapter with Manatsu riding her bike.

Well, that's the way the cookie crumbles. I'm glad I got to read this series all the same. Cheers!
