Happy New Year! May good fortune and good health follow you all throughout this new year!
I really feel for Umiko in every chapter. The uncertainty of changing your trajectory later in life and not knowing how things will pan out for you. Keeping your eyes on the prize just to try to make it through.
Sora and Kai seem like two different kinds of cats to me. They both have goals that they're working towards, but they're also free-spirited and thoughtful in different ways.
Even though things do tend to settle down as you get older, you can never really escape insecurity over important matters. I want to watch Umiko's movie.
Thank you for sharing the results of your hard work on this chapter with us! I really liked the typesetting(?) and redrawing(?) of Umiko's thought list on the last page. There's something satisfying about the text not sitting right on the line like they were really being written during a brainstorm session and the font being different from the font used in the narration boxes and speech bubbles(?). I appreciate all of your beautiful and lovely work as always.
I hope you're all staying warm and safe. Please enjoy your break and have a wonderful day
