Haha.
This is awkward. Translator of Chapter 23 here... XD
Having the ending thrust at you like this just makes it seem "WTF". But I'm kinda glad some of you got closure as awful and mistranslated as it is.
I love this manga, but it kinda fell to the back of my queue when I had IRL things to take care of. When I came back to TL, I was mainly focused on the Black Lagoon community as they are my priority.
I hope you won't begrudge too much for leaving both MangaIchi scans and you on a lurch.
I have no plans to pick this in the near future, sadly. If anyone wants to do it, I'll be more than happy to provide the raws.
Thanks for understanding.
