Spoiler: Response to My Arika ending

Okay so I mostly only skimmed but WTF WAS THAT. WDYM THEY NEVER SEE EACH OTHER AGAIN?! Why must lesbians never be allowed to have happy endings together? It's so depressing and disappointing… I mean this isn't hate to the author, honestly there is much to be appreciated from their ending, I appreciate depressing endings and technically they're still happy, but it's still so depressing and disappointing, especially for those of us who recognize Nana is gay fr (/hj) 😭 Writing wise, the only thing I'm bothered by is Nana's change of character? I like that she's happy, but it looks like she sort of became cutesy? And they got her speaking formal with her friends too. I liked her delinquent personality, it's a dying trope (replaced by the related gyaru) and I miss it Her cute side is no longer a nice dash of gap moe, but just her. I also feel there was so much that could've been expanded so much more. Idk where to start but that's disappointing too. Otbs, tho it feels a bit implied Takashi is growing feelings for Nana, I like that the author doesn't force her in a relationship at the end, at least that's how it looks from what I skimmed, I could be wrong. Like I said, I prefer her to either be gay or aro, lol. Anyway, if you respond to this comment, make sure to censor your response too!

Thank you for the translations and for sacrificing yourself by spoiling yourself with the rest of the chapters to provide faithful translations!

Three chapters left, and with this reveal, I don't think there will be any more secret culprits. Bye my "Mimi will do something" theory. Why have her if in the end she did nothing? I don't think the story will change whether she is there or not.

It's interesting to see the contrast between Nana and Erika. Nana is surrounded by friends who love her, while Erika "died" because of her "friends". Erika should have just created a group with Nana. I have no idea how she can think of them as something precious.

Oh no I really hope Chihiro didn't kill her

Did you read the volume edition? Because it has a very important extra epilogue chapter that really tidies up the ending of the magazine.

Spoiler: ENDING SPOILERS.

Basically it shows Arika and Nana reuniting when Nana returned to her hometown later on.
The fact that in the magazine version Arika is presumed dead but then in the volume epilogue you see she's actually alive is kinda crazy. It changes the entire story pretty much.

I remember being very soured on the ending of the magazine but when the volume came out it softened the blow a bit.

AWESOME THANK YOU. No, the website I get the raws from didn't have it. Is that all there is? Or do you know where I can find the whole thing?

Here is the whole epilogue, it's just 5 pages.
Unfortunately those are from public raws that have a watermark in the corner. I could not find a version without watermark.
Other alternative is to buy it on an official site and rip it yourself. I recommend comic days since you can easily rip the volume in one click with haruneko

Please come back to Nana, it hurts when she feels sad.

 

[Saybah]

It makes sense. There's no way any of those idols can remain good and positive with such toxic environment. Arika is the only maybe case here.

Oh damn so Chihiro does have intentional dirt in her hands
