[jonnywarlock]

Thank you so much, earlbay. This is easily among my favorite manga of all time and I can't help but think that I never would have gotten the chance to read it without your hard work. Thank you again so much.

I am going to miss this manga, but I'm happy knowing that they're happy and that they're just a reread away.

Congratulations to earlbay and lore for finishing this manga on a perfect note!!! Dang, that choice to publish the last chapter after the extras was truly the perfect choice, I am feeling alllllll the feels now. Their house with their gallery!!! Shinobu and Kou-chan having two beautiful kids with another baby on the way!!!! The vase having pride of place on their workshop!!!!!! THE DREAMS OF THEM AS OLD ARTISANS TOGETHER AAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!

I’m with Dingo777 and jonnywarlock and all the other lovely commenters that made up this little community—I’m truly blessed that you put in all this time and effort to translate a truly beautiful manga that I would never have gotten to read otherwise. Thank you so much for sharing that serendipitous story! Imagine finding a gosu bowl right when contemplating whether to continue this story! It’s straight out of this manga!! 💜💜💜

Really I am truly grateful for all the thought and care you put into this scanlation, and I’m lucky to be one of the latecomers who got to come along this ride, and we’re all lucky for the journey that piece of lovely pottery took to inspire you to continue this project. Congratulations, congratulations, congratulations + thank you, thank you, thank you!!!! 🎉🎉🎉💜💜💜

a lovely ending to an amazing series. didnt see that drastic a timeskip coming, but made for fleshed out farewell. that dream sequence almost had me crying, thought kids were gonna be aoko's but shinobu having huge family was cute, and love love the enshrined shooting star bud vase

Thank you so much for your hard work earlbay! I really enjoyed the manga, such a comforting read, sad it ended but so glad i got to read it!

The ending left me emotional. I enjoyed this glimpse of their future and I'm gonna miss this manga. I was losing a bit of the enthusiasm at the end (funnily enough, not because of the breaking up, but because of the getting back together), but I still think it was a lovely read overall.

Thank you so much earlbay for the translation and lore_likes_cats for the notes. I'm glad that bowl was there, just waiting to inspire you

I am not crying... you're crying! Oh my goodness thank you so much for this moving chapter. It made me reflect so deeply on my own personal relationship with my partner here at the end and what it will be like to grow old together thank you for your dedication and commitment and for sharing your personal journey with us as well.

Thank you for translating! I really appreciated all the extra notes about pottery, too. (I also appreciated having the extra chapters posted first. It did make the ending feel just a little more special.)

This was such a lovely series.

I'm glad you posted the chapters out of order, what a lovely finish to an amazing story.

Thank you so much earlbay for all your hard work over the years, I loved this series so, so much and always eagerly looked forward to updates. I'm glad you found that blue gosu bowl in NC, what a serendipitous find, as others have mentioned.

Thank you earlbay and lore for translating! When I saw that this had been dropped from the original scan group I was pretty devastated. Thank you for picking it up and seeing it through.

 

[isaperv]

Thank you for seeing this one through. Much enjoyed.
