Sequel
Bet the bed didn't withstand that night.
I'm surprised nobody checked the author's twitter to find the sequel since it was readily available, but I'm glad that was the case so I could pull some kind of a surprise.
In the sequel the author goes into this as well but this manga was unfortunately canceled due to poor sales. It sold poorly from the onset and thus never had what it took to last. This is the third manga from this author that was canceled (Omoi-san was too in case you didn't know).
For those unfamiliar, at least with monthly physical manga, 3 volumes is what you generally expect to get if your first volume doesn't sell well, particularly with less popular authors. If you ever find 3 volume manga where the ending feels a little lackluster or rushed, like the story still had much to tell, that's a good indication that it was a manga that sold poorly and the author knew the axe was coming and had to dig up a conclusion.
As for personal thoughts on this series, I was genuinely a fan of it, particularly the post-confession moments. Even teared up a bit at the end. But I do think the basket gimmick overstayed its welcome in the first 2 volumes. In hindsight, when you see how adorable they are as a couple, it feels a little sad that at least half of the manga wasn't cute couple moments like this.
I commend the author for sticking to the premise he came up with, he did the same with Omoi-san, but in my opinion it was ultimately working in detriment of the manga at a certain point because the suspension of disbelief was ridiculous and nothing was really moving forward. I really, really think this could have been adjusted to be more popular and give us more cuteness but alas this is what we got. If it was in an online publication readers might have been kinder to it and the sales numbers might have mattered less as well.
Tomorrow I'll post all 6 chapters of the sequel doujin, which amount to 30 pages total. I will warn you not to expect too much from it since it was a manga the author drew for free on twitter, but it is still a cute sequel giving us a glimpse into their married life. It's 1/4 author commentary on his dealings with manga serialization.
As mentioned in a TL note a while back, I'll also most likely work on the author's very first manga, the origin story of Mikogami-senpai, since she cameos in all his other manga as a goofy plushie.
With that out of the way, have a good day!

The ending was short and sweet. This is pretty good and Abe approved!

Ahhhhh. Happy end, but, yeah, I truly wish we had more of them as an engaged dating couple. 🥲
I’m surprised no one is reacting to the fact there’s a sequel. Wtf that is so hype! I checked by looking at the author’s mangadex page but didn’t see anything. So @Nosebleed mission accomplished, I was surprised and now I’m looking forward to it.
Anyway, fun last chapter, loved this manga. It had its downsides like the basket gimmick lasting too long but overall enjoyable. Sucks it was canceled but glad the author is continuing to give us content.

That's because I made sure not to create an entry for it until this chapter went out (and I prayed no one else would in the meantime, which thankfully worked out)
Well, when he asked Inano about what Sonoda would want for her birthday, how come something from Mikogami-senpai wasn't the first thing he had on his mind? At least he managed to pull it later.
Too bad for him being her slave for today. Time to sign up those papers and then have a talk at HR at work about their situation.
All in all, I agree that I wish we could have more with them together and maybe the author could have made the reveal earlier but we also know how authors try to stretch the couple being together to almost the very end in these kind of stories maybe to avoid the drop in viewership/sales even though Yano Toshitaka managed to pull pretty fine for Omoi-san manga. Even if you say it was also cancelled, it had a pretty good run with 6 volumes and its problems differs from this one. I wish we had 3 more volumes of Itami and Sonoda working things out as a couple, Inano finding someone as well without suffering at the author's hands and Sonoda learning to open herself more and be more sociable like I said in a previous post.
Maybe with a better editor or marketing it could have avoided being cancelled making the reveal earlier but the market for manga in these publishers is pretty cruel and we can only hope for the next series be just as good with a better luck for the author.

I did see it on the author's pixiv but I didn't want to spoil it myself so I just put on favorites to check it later. But thanks for translating the full work for all of us. I'm eager for that sequel.
