Damn, I thought that manga was slow before, those last chapters are packed! Mariko tries to revive a shopping district, becomes a star of social media, meets her daughter in law in the middle of an affair, gets into a fight with her, and now a nice old man could die, in like 4 chapters?

Frankly, I’m more on that An-chan woman’s side. Maybe it’s just because I find flimsy fashion people irritating.

 

[Scytale]

What a goofy succession of events.

Thanks for the translation!

Crazy chapter, the drama is spilling in so many directions at once. The scenes of the failing shops are so painful. It's honestly gonna be tough for a happy ending for this arc to feel legit and plausible, and not just an unrealistic miracle. But I have faith!!

I can relate to it, feeling like you're losing your career and everyone's packing up and you're wondering whether to stay and try your best or to get out before it's too late.

In the end the march of time is difficult to fight. The realistic move would be to try and attract new young tenants and create a subculture area that won't be threatened by big box stores nearby, but I wonder how they can do that while keeping the old dreams alive.
