Showa Maiden Fairytale - Vol. 5 Ch. 42.2 - The fairy tale goes on

[MetalGearLiquidus]

My god, they really held onto that feeling of "Is he dead, is he alive?" until the very end. Y'know what, though, I'm glad that he actually did live. These two deserved more than what they got for what they went through, but at least they're both alive.

 

[Satsuki-Nada]

Damn, I was so ready to throw hands after reading the last few chapters. Thank God they all get a happy ending

Thank you for translating this.

 

[BassKnight]

Thank you for finishing this! I actually shed a couple of tears, that twist!

 

[Wanderer00]

Make it extra lewd!

And it's probably going to be rather short since the couple of that story will likely embody the era and get together quickly instead of dancing around the issue.

Though I wouldn't say no to a peaceful SoL with a developing relationship after these emotional rollercoasters

 

[D00T]

Oh boy, can't wait for that! maybe we'll even get to Reiwa someday?

Can't wait for the most Reiwa-ass typical high school romcom when we get to it

There are some natural disasters and reactors going boom that can spice things up...

Thank you so much for finishing the TL!!! Tokoyo and Jintarou deserved that happy ending. I'm so glad it ended well, really made my day.

Heisei Otome Otogibanashi time

NGL a manga romance series where each 'season' focuses on a different time period in the story of a family would be great, something like JoJo but with romance. Maybe the only problem for me is the Japanese eras are too long

Showa (the one this story covered) was 60 years, the following one is only 30 years and then there's the current one which has been going on for 4 years.
so I don't think they're too long we'd not meet at least one character from the previous era. but even so the problem might be the rapid change in society and the type of struggles each era faces.

 

[Wanderer00]

It sounds like a good moniker actually, "the Maiden fairytale series, spanning over a century ".

 

[B4z73rd]

I'm glad that the group was able to finish the series up finally.

 

[Shitty]

Now we have to ask the real questions like what Jinta-Chan did in Nanking and other various parts of Asia

 

[Kaeos999]

Thank god he returned i was ready to die too if he hadn't returned 😭😭😭

 

[Purplelibraryguy]

They had us in the first . . . ohhh, seven eighths, not gonna lie.

Yeah, but that's what I mean, I would like to see something like a romance for each decade or so. One set in the 60s during the students protests, one in the 80s that goes full city pop in it's aesthetic, another in the 90s and so on.

It would be too ambitious a project to ever see it done to completion and even harder to see it having decent writing, but it's something I hope I can see someday.

 

[Afith]

Thank you for the translation
Oh my what a ride I cried so hard at the chapter when Jinta-chan came back
I really thought Tokoyo come after him in the heaven
So glad it's a happy ending, they deserve it after all they had to go through

There are surprisingly few manga set in the 60s generally. The only one that comes to my mind offhand is Sakamichi no Apollon, although that is so good it's worth about a dozen all by itself.

Nice ! I had heard of it before but didn't know it was set in the 60s, thanks!

 

[exxeld]

goddamn author really had me worried for a bit there but good for Tokoyo lmao. I'm sad we didn't get to see more Yuzu or Tamahiko or an extended epilogue with everyone as they are much older but a happy ending is good enough I suppose.
