Just to give some context to the people, according to the Shoseki Ranking, the volume sales were disastrous.

Volume 1 performed poorly, but at least it managed to barely cling to the weekly ranking, scraping into the 488th spot out of 500. Based on that, we can estimate it sold around 1,262 copies in its first week—a figure that’s nothing short of disheartening. After that initial week, it vanished entirely from the daily rankings, never to be seen again.

Volume 2’s sales are nothing short of a tragedy. On its release day (November 20, 2024), it debuted at 184th place on the daily chart. The catch with daily rankings, though, is that they don’t provide estimated sales figures, leaving us in the dark about how many copies actually sold. By the second day (November 21), it plummeted to 417th, and on the third day (November 22), it saw a slight uptick to 389th. After that, it completely disappeared from the rankings, never to return.

Given these abysmal numbers, it’s no surprise the publisher likely took one look at Volume 2’s performance and decided it wasn’t worth continuing the series.
That's really sad, cuz its actually a banger

Thanks, shame about the early axe but 27 chapters doesn't seem too bad, but i can imagine if it was indie/not dependent on a site/sales that it could easily end on chapter 100 just to make it feel dragged out to us lol

That said, confirmed paycheck/steady money aside i wonder how many ppl would be like pixiv/JP equivalent of patreon only aside and continue manga/more chapters if enough fans donated but i suppose whatever the sites/companies give them monthly/per deadline would prolly be a lot more unless they were virally famous enough to get like 5k a week lol

It's a bummer it got axed, but the past few chapters have felt like they're heading towards a bittersweet ending anyway with the tone. So at least this manga's conclusion probably won't be rushed, like way too many manga I read. I still mourn Iseikai and PPPPPP...

Axing this series is a cultural tragedy. Appreciate these pearls, you swine!

Anyways I was touched how the photograph he was focusing on was the one where she was photographing him. He is invested in how she was trying to stay connected over the resetting time.
