[thobong]

[BringinTheBeefUS]

[narutok]

thanks!!

Does anyone know where Shiori is going to? I looked it up and her bag is from Sekaido, an arts supply store, but i failed to find where in Toyoda she could go to, there's the Shizuoka University of Art and Culture but this university does not seem to have any traditional art course.

 

[Ajira]

Thanks for the translation! I will order this series next month...

Shinzou Keigo has written so many nice series so far, I'm really happy that at least hirayasumi seems to have turned into a pretty big hit, he really deserves that

 

[Teacommander]

While i hoped for an ending that was a little happier than this, i also commend it for being quite realistic. The reporter girl looked a lot like Natsumi from Hirayasumi so that threw me off for a little bit haha. Great series overall though and let's be honest who wouldn't want to do the same in Yamada's position

 

[Laparoscopic]

Thank you for the translation. I loved this story.

But, inveterate fanficcer that I am, I was unable to leave the ending of the story alone. And so had to write a slightly sweeter epilogue, set a few years later on: Guestbook.

Hope at least someone enjoys it.

 

[Ajira]

And well, shes legal now if they ever met to fuck or whatever.

Slight gripe, (plot related from earlier)

Kinda annoyed that the person related to that high ranking police/commissioner who was basically fucking those young underage run away girls just got swept under the rug, while our protagonist who was genuinely did take care of her got 2 years in the hole. (but that's more of the ugly nature of politics that our MC had to deal with while working)

 

[bambou1991]

Garakoe is alright. Everything is alright.

 

[zoryana]

Somewhat bittersweet ending, but I guess it is hopeful in a way.
No way they could've just continued living together as a family, sadly, but that short experience helped them overcome their struggles and be able to move on in the life despite it all.
Thanks for the translation, was nice to read this story in full.

 

[Grye]

Ow
Everyone has closure

 

[SpudWumper]

beautiful. I am happy. bittersweet but happy.

thank you so much for the translations

 

[AlphraLoust]

Thank you for your hard work.
In any case I can't feel satisfied by this ending. Even if bittersweet, the story just feels like it completed too abruptly.

Surprised that it took so many different scanlators to finally finish this awesome manga, Keigo Shinzo doesn't disappoint. I hope to see more of his works translated.

I was wondering if Riko told on them to the police but seeing her rather surprised reaction to the news of Yamada's arrest made me think that the cops found him out independently (remember when they let go a fellow cop who was actually buying teen sex? but here dude got 2 years since he got no connections with "important" people).

 

[mulate]

Ok, so she went back to selling herself on twitter cus theres no shot she has money for all that stuff at the end. And Im assuming she cant meet back with step-dad because 1) Restraining order or something; 2) Paparazzi will hound his ass, get him fired from social pressure, and eventually unable to live or some BS so she doesnt try to get into contact with step-dad again.

Edit: Oh and I just realized even if all the above was true, the fact that it was never shown that they at the very least kept phone contact is astonishing (because police, etc. really cant control that at all).

Realistic. Hope I never have a daughter.

Series was good but it was too realistic and dark and depressing. Got axed probably cuz of it and even I have trouble rereading it because of the sads.

That's why many of the setups got tossed to the side (inspector relative, her going to school) in favor of wrapping up the story
