Thanks for sticking with me to the end, and thank you to Fujichika Koume-sensei. I'm definitely satisfied with this series and happy that I picked it up, half on a whim, as well as a little proud to see the popularity it's picked up (as if I had anything to do with it).
Wondering if I should pick up another monthly series now.
A couple of notes:
Sorry for being uncharacteristically lazy about typesetting the congratulations sign, but the fact that it was one letter short to spell "congrats" coupled with it showing up multiple times (including in the color illustration in the end) made me decide to just let things be in Japanese for once.
I left out a bit of text above the END text on the last page because it kinda ruined the mood. "Thank you for reading. The final Volume 12 planned to be released on June 20th!"
The "okay I appreciate it but" bit is likely mistranslated because I'm bad at Japanese and didn't really get it but it seems like Komura just doing some kind of a tsukkomi bit anyway.
Yay! We got to see it end properly. I hope those two stayed together. It was a fun journey. Thank you to the translators from the beginning to the end.
