@otakubouzu Fumita could have gone the Jitsu wa route and did just that, but seeing as how he has apparently tweeted that this will in fact be the last volume it doesn't look like there will be many more chapters of Tomo-chan. A shame really, but manga authors are really obsessed with idea of the overly dramatic confession only at the very end, even at the risk of the story dragging in the middle til ratings drop and they eventually get axed and then have to give their manga's rushed and unsatisfying endings. I guess him choosing to stop here is somewhat of a good thing in that regard, but yeah IMO I still see plenty of wasted potential life left in this series he could have capitalized on if only he was comfortable enough with trying to write outside of the typical rom-com confession happy end.
