well..........i am honestly disappointed:( so many questions left unanswered and the ending felt kinda....out of character? this turned out to just be a simple story while i waz expecting smth completely different. it was extremely unexpected since i've known kagisora for a rlly long time now and i didn't feel like they would be the type of writer to just end things so....simply. ty as always for the translations,your work has been greatly appreciated so far:)))

I don't usually take all this “cancelled” thinking that often goes around for anything that ends seriously, but this is one of the cases where I entertain the idea. In no small part because all the other things this artist made had really well written endings that wrapped up everything.

It felt that so much was left unanswered and many chapters focused mostly on side characters' inconsequential stories that could be used to answer these things which made it seem like the artist got a message 4 chapters ago to wrap it up in 4 chapters.

Indeed. It felt like what it said it was, an epilog rather than something answering anything but at least it explained who the other character was but it hinted at something far more important before.

tbh....i think your theory that the magazine interfered with the story and it wanted it to be done is extremely possible. hsl and any other work kagisora has made always had some kinda of ending that wrapped up things in the end while this felt like....a new chapter was in the making? idk how to explain but it felt so rushed and unfinished

LOL well, at least no last min edgy plot twist where all the dolls go rogue and just kill humanity tho i was half-expecting
the other human who showed up being like "ur the only one who cares about stabilizing their love emotions" while everyone else just 'fixes' or backs up their memories (even if it is convenient for them to not break down or so)

hope their next work doesn't have too much editor interference

Having actually re-read this a view days back. I have to say it was honestly better than I remember it the first time around, probably because one misses less when binge-reading it within the span of three days. Also, by knowing what's to come one can observe better just how planned the story actually was and how many innocent-looking lines and panels were actually foreshadowing. Many of the characters that would later come to be featured are actually in the background of earlier chapters in the relationships they're later featured in:

I also when first reading overlooked many of Kusari's lines which hint at many things. The ending still felt like it was probably cancelled and that entire thing about the dolls being in a “catalog” at the start and purchaseable feels strange when it was revealed at the end they were designed not as a product but as a successor species meant to inherit the culture of a dying mankind.

Also, I actually wasn't all that invested in the Sartain–Kusari relationship the first time around, probably because their scenes together are really far spaced apart when reading a single chapter every month, but I actually cared for it a lot more re-reading it and their scenes together are really sweet despite of how twisted and eerie the latter is:

I actually didn't much care for him as a love interest during the first read and felt he was mostly just a plot device but I've really come to like how sweet yet eerie he constantly acts,
