Thanks for translating the rest of the series!

Thanks for the chapters!

Really nice finally seeing the adaptation through to the end.

Oh, I get it. Wanting the rest of this to be translated was like a monkey's paw thing.

It does seem like the author just kind of gave up on the story. I had pretty high hopes after the rather awesome "coming out" chapter that made this seem like a nicely progressive work, but I get the sense that that was the last good idea the author could come up with and then they didn't know what to do. Or they just got bored with it.

Well, I suppose disappointments like this can serve as motivation to create something better. This story had a lot of good parts and a lot of potential, so it's just something I would like to have seen be resolved better. I think authors generally enjoy coming up with scenarios, but tying stuff up at the end is more like actual work. As a result, a lot of stories just kind of end. Which might have been a little better; this one decided to go out with a really weird final chapter that seemed tonally unmatched to the rest.

The way she calls herself a sociopath reminds me so much of a picture I saw years ago. I can't find it anymore, but it was of a chubby middle school-aged kid holding some weed, and it was captioned with "I'm a drug dealer at my school. I could kill you if I wanted."

Thank you for the hard work on the series!!
What an unexpected ending for sure. Ayu shouting she would kill them last time felt like a spur of the moment reaction but this chapter took the story to a whole different vibe. I knew that to fix the situation fast enough for the end it would have be something "not so logical" but thought would be the common "Disney magic" where they all end happy and forgive the "villains" for no reason, didnt expected to end with death threats and so much hatred from both sides. Kind of ruined a lil bit. Unnecessary.

ending felt fast paced compared to the rest of the story but im honestly fine with it

anyways, this girl says shes straight when shes clearly ace at best
she already said she never felt any romantic/sexual attraction to any gender, but shes not a Yuu Koito cuz during the story we see her developing very stated romantic feelings towards Ayu, and the sex, she said she wouldnt do it with anyone, but is doing with Ayu cuz shes Ayu, even though she doesnt feel any particular attraction to women.

but maybe she just wanted to seem more reasonable to the parents or something idkk dont quote me

Amazing and moving story ;-; I love these slice of life ones the most.

lesbian chef's kiss

That was great.

I feel like she pulled the best anti-conspiracy card with Ayu's parents, tbh: "The moon landing was faked!" "Huh, you believe the moon is real?"

When faced with ridiculousness, respond with equal or greater ridicule. She was facing Ayu's parents with that spirit: confronting the ridiculous (homophobia) with even greater ridicule (overt display of money talks). That was why she could so easily bring up the topic of hiring an assassin and stuff—she was not taking Ayu's parents seriously to begin with, because she knows they won't change their mind.

Might as well push them to the brink to let Ayu go by their own choice, and she did exactly that.

Also I'm kind of glad the author chose the ending where Ayu walked out, even if she was disowned. It's a rather grounded situation for a lot of homosexual people coming out to homophobic families; at least here Ayu entirely cut ties from her family rather than forcing the tone-deaf Japanese sentiment of 'family is family in the end of the day'. A manga that cuts off abusive relationships is good in my books.

All in all, a lot of suspension of disbelief had to be gathered to read this through, and the ending was tonally odd, but otherwise a fun ride. Thank you for translating this to the end.

The ending was so weird that ends up hurting what would've been an otherwise pretty good story. It feels like the story got axed or the author simply lost interest because everything was rushed and the solution was so stupid and outrageous that it wrapped around and became hilarious. Still, after that heartfelt public coming out from the idol girl, going to "screw the rules I got money" and "I fucked your daughter multiple times over the past month and I'm risking everything for her but I'm not gay" is quite the mood whiplash.

Dad if all lgbt were as crazy as these two, then there would be a whole lot less bigots in the world.
