It honestly feels like the manga’s end is just around the corner…

Eeeh, depends on whether you are looking at the translation or the raws on pixiv.

Spoiler: You really wanna know?

The raws are on pixiv.

Kaoru gave Minami the ring at chapter 233, and the mangaka herself announced there’s 6-7 chapters left at the end of that one (but she’s also reducing frequency from weekly to bi-weekly), so it’ll end at either 240 or 241, so roughly 20 more chapters to translate from this point onwards, max.

Pixiv is currently at chapter 235 (posted June 25th, 2025) - 236 will probably be around July 10th. My guess is that 240/241 will come out end of August to wrap up the story.

Depending on how fast the TL/SL group is working on the raws it’ll probably take them at least 1-2 months after the finale to catch up, assuming that they are working to close the gap (right now it’s 14 chapters)

Can't wait for this dogshit to end.🧑‍🦼

You can just stop reading?

 

[draxdeveloper]

Wait... years together? Since when? We had some weird timeskip?

 

[stagiestpizza]

[Lex79]

Looks like we avoided the bad ending, I'm happy.

People are insane if they think "realistically they wont remain together because of distance"

1: Its a manga. It doesnt have to be "realistic".

2: We live in a time with easy communication and face chat. They can literally "see" each other all the time.

3: Their bond goes beyond what a lot of young couples would be. Many young "normal" couples (so just dating in HS for fun, etc) don't have the same situation these two have had, not that a more normal young couple is wrong really(its good to live/learn/grow/etc) but there's extra layers here that many couples wouldn't have that would make them remaining together far more likely.

4: Waluigi.

Gotta say I was still wondering about it, but when I read your Point 4, I had to be convinced.

 

[Skater901]

What does she mean "how many years"? Haven't they been dating less than a year?

 

[AccForManga]

What does she mean "how many years"? Haven't they been dating less than a year?

They knew each other in their game for 4 years prior to meeting irl.

I think "been together" is more "known each other/been in each other's lives" than "together/dating".

 

[SveNo]

What does she mean "how many years"? Haven't they been dating less than a year?

They had been playing together for four years before their IRL meetup. Ch 1, p 7.

Ninja-ed!

 

[LTalon]

A long distance relationship is actually going to be easier for these two because they were net-friends before they were dating anyway. Sure, they're more than that now, and it'll suck, but they know how to relate to one another in that context already.

Also Nanami is building up in-law points for later.

 

[Lunkli]

"How many years do you think we've been together"

One?? Maybe not even that???

 

[blablablub]

No kiss?

 

[Edrikhtg]

Apparently couples are always started as strangers, even if they're friends years prior smh... Kappa

Jokes aside, this manga feels good. I like it. And remember, if you wanna have a surefire of a partner, don't expect it from a situationship nor tinder.

Be a pal, through thick and thin. That works.


PS. Friendzone is only a thing if you're doing too much, too little, or too expecting. Just be natural and they'll come to you. Like Kaoru.

It honestly feels like the manga’s end is just around the corner…

What else can it be

 

[Thor67]

Given that they probably haven't even hit 1 year yet, it seems Nanami is trying to hint to Kaoru that it's rude to dump those intense feelings on her at such an early stage.

You can just stop reading?

whenever i see that guy's comments it's literally always just him shitting on the manga, be it justified or not. that's just his hobby ig.
he's like that guy with the pfp of kanokari's mc that comments on basically every single romance manga that he finds that it needs more ntr and cheap drama, like what happened with the childhood friend manga that yom (of douki-chan/arigatights fame) is drawing for rn.

 

[hentako]

Wonder if it's gonna end soon, timeskip or otherwise how this will be handled

 

[Shinigamisama]

Why only censor one of the pinky swears panels? I'm in trouble now because of it...
