Short but sweet, I think I'd prefer a few more shorter mangas like this. Not every romance manga has to be 300 chapter cliffhanger slop bait.

Disappointed, for the axe, for the author to give 4 chapters just for the Idol, for the ending chapter to focus solely on them kissing (after half a year of dating seriously?!)
No word on how her personality was changed and don't say that the subtext answers it when Mangaka suck at that.

6/10. I love the art, hope to see it again.

I saw some months ago a twitter post from the author, he said something like "If you don't want your fav series to end then support and buy the manga", but they deleted it later, so, this one was also a victim from low sales, sad 😔
Publishers gave them a beating to shut them up quick huh.

not even the author is famous for making short love stories like this, axe kun was not part of this,
Are they known for short series? I thought this was their first serialised manga. It's a given that their one-shots were short.


Good series, loved the artwork. Even if they managed to get this ending together, it does feel like a lot of ideas got cut short.

Eh, I feel the ending is "fine" but definitely played it a bit too safe. The only interesting part was the glossed over reveal that her other 'karins' still exist in her head as unique identities and personalities which has potential for interesting story telling and shenanigans (similar to Mahoraba if anyone remembers that gem from the past) but instead we just get the generic first kiss scene and "They lived happily ever after".

Again, it's fine for what it is but the lost potential does sting a bit.

I'm looking forward to One Piece ending just so I can see all the people asking why it was axed

Probably a hot take, but One Piece suffers from the exact opposite issue this manga does. Both have pacing issues but while this manga didn't have enough time to cook in the oven, One Piece has had too much time and is overbaked and over filled with so much fluff I'm shocked it hasn't been axed (well not that shocked, I know why it hasn't been but it really should be). If One Piece had come out in the modern era and didn't have the late 90s mentality and pedigree to keep it afloat it likely would have fallen off as well. Same thing with Ippo to be quite honest. A lot of long running manga only continue to exist due to seniority and being grandfathered into acceptance.

I think for how freaking convoluted the premise is the author pulled it off remarkably well. In that regard I'm actually kind of glad the series was short because it didn't have time to get even more complicated to the point of no longer being enjoyable to read.
Of course would have liked it to get a bit more fleshed out and as someone has already mentioned, it makes the 4 chapters about the idol look even worse, she was pretty annoying.

Enjoyed this a ton, shows you don't need to go on endlessly to have a nice romance, and that you can do a Harem with just a single girl.

I'm sorry that it's over but I'm happy it had a good ending. I was honestly expecting a "distant future" ending where they have a bunch of daughters that act like the fragments.

It was great while it lasted. It's too bad we never got to explore more with Karin dealing with the different personalities having conversations in her head, that could have been fun if handled right (ex, Nail and Kami in Piccolos head in DBZA,) but I'm still satisfied with this ending. It's sad that it's ending, but I'm happy we got what we got, so thank you to all involved in bringing thus to us, mangaka, scanlation team, etc.
