Huh. Judging by this development, it looks like this one got axed. The next chapter will be the last.

I don't know, feels like a pretty natural flow for the story. Keeping in mind that it was initially written to be mostly self-contained within just five chapters, doesn't seem too odd that it only runs for three volumes.

I don't know... to me, the last two chapters felt out of pace with the rest of the story—almost rushed. It gives the impression that the author was suddenly told to wrap everything up in just three chapters. I checked the Shoseki Ranking, and boy, the sales are really bad.

I does say on page 20 "Следующая глава: финал" (Next chapter: The Finale). So...

I know, I can read Russian. I'm saying it doesn't feel too odd for it to finish in 27 chapters as opposed to going for over a hundred.

Cool on film-frames there was interloper.

To me, the entire third volume felt very different and faster paced, so maybe they were told to wrap things up within the next volume after 2, but it's definitely not just the past couple chapters. Hell, volume 3 starts with this quite sudden jump to Aoi becoming extremely detached to the world and humanity, much more than he used to in the chapters directly before that, so if this was indeed axed, I'd think the author knew from at least back then.

Damn what happened

as usual the #1 problem with Japan is that they're pretty shit at also buying the manga I buy to try and help keep afloat

заметил что у этого издателя часто заканчиваются тайтлы на трёх томах и в районе 30 глав, ну впрочем в этой ситуации радуется только мой кошелёк

Is there any extra pages in the second volume? I was just planning on buying it later.

nah just adverts and inside cover stuff. Not even a short little 2-page omake like vol 1 had

I’m still shocked by how disastrous the sales of the volumes were. 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.

am I seeing this right, it looks like either she disappears/they drift apart after a while in those slides?

first they're seeing the fireworks together but then he's alone, also looks like he's having sex with other girls

They drift apart.

They drift apart.

how can you tell?

 

[Litreara]

how can you tell?

I mean, that’s my interpretation of the film strip sequence. It strikes me as the most reasonable explanation—Occam's razor.

fair enough and it's probably what happens, but the fact that the slides which don't have her are burning up or whatever you wanna call that effect gives me some hope

still want this to have a happy ending, but it's probably cope

I believe the chances of a happy ending are quite high. After countless cycles, they might finally reunite and realize that being alone in this purgatory is far more unbearable. And perhaps, just as inexplicably as the cycle began, it will come to an end. The frustrating part is that we’ll likely never get an explanation, especially with only one chapter left.
