we don't know what was the message in their cellphones

The message was the picture in the last page that was sent by Saki senpai to both Ran and Keiko

WHAT THE FUCK

ak48

Show mentioned something about a Sequel.
Look forward to the 4th volume

If true then perhaps it was good that it finished here, and the sequel (which 98% won't happen) is one time when Keiko goes back for a bit or something.

I knew it was gonna end like this after the abruptness of Keiko moving but held a little hope that he will at least tie up some loose ends, but with this ending it leaves quite a lot to be desired. I wonder if Prism didn't get canceled would they break up at the end?

if it ends here im gonna be reaaaaallly upset

That is odd. Without the End I would have never assumed that the manga just ended. Forget all te yuri stuff, the story just feels like it stopped somewhere right before the last few chapters. It is missing way too much.

hahahaha, that was brilliant. Stretch is definitely a masterpiece of a yuri genre. It's been an amazing trip. And what I love about it, I'll keep rereading it once in a while discovering more and more hints of whatever ending I myself want. And Shou obviously ran out of exercises to depict.

And the best part about the ending, I'm glad that Keiko's going to see and accept her mother.

PS
Thanks to everybody for the fantastic discussions in this thread. You guys and our emotions are what actually made the manga priceless. I'll definitely miss that experience. And thanks to Shou of course for the awesome trollobait ride.

It was an amazing trip that sadly had electrical problems and had to pull over and be towed over the finish line.

And it wasn't even towed through the last part of the course, it just took a shortcut

END ...END you ..are you f*cking kidding me D:

Shou is the greatest troll of all time, this entire series has been engineered to piss off as many people as possible, and it's a beautiful thing

I think the sorrow here is twofold.

One the one side we overhyped ourselves to the bloody skies. Always jumping at the chapter the second it comes out, always trying to see the small subtextual trials left in between the words, always yearning for that next fix. He put out a bait and we caught it like the lily-loving little fishies we are.

Though on the other hand, he did this to us. He left the bait out, he strung us along for 45 chapters, and the subtext was at times thick enough to put a spoon in it. He knew exactly what he was doing!

My biggest disappointment though is not in that it wasn't a Yuri ending, I could even have handled a het-ending or a "Confession ends in rejection" ending. This was neither Yuri nor Het, but the big problem is I'd barely even call it an ending at all. We don't get any conclusion, no satisfaction, and everything is still left unanswered.

Simply put, I think most of us here could've handled any kind of ending, but what we got was no ending. At least no ending that most of us could grasp. I think that's why so many of us are upset.

I feel kinda sad.. somehow...

What a waste of time.

Shou better go back to do loli hentai. Seems to be the only thing that he can do right.

Fuck Shou, fuck this world, fuck my hope.

I completely forgot that the volume will probably have an extra. Would it be an epilogue though? Cause the previous ones weren't following up on the story, just doodles and stretches.

These tears are delicious Kek

To me the whole series revolved around Keiko healing from her traumatic experience, and Ran coming into her own at her first foray into independent life.

Sure we got teased a ton, so one would be right to feel cheated, but that indignation shouldn't blind us from the rather heartwarming story of two people leaning on each other in times of need and carving themselves a special place in the other's heart.

Hope he makes special chapter. He *should *must *needs.

Khé.

It seems like some/many here didn't actually enjoy the manga in it's own right, just enjoyed the fact that it could potentially have yuri at some point.

I think this comment

Its like those dudes that keep going to the strip club thinking that the stripper REALLY LIKES them?

summed it up best.

Are you fucking kidding me? Sigh Oh well. Guess it was fun while it lasted. Now I suppose I'm more free to focus on the stories that are actually yuri.

Well that ended my day on a bad note...

Of course, why would I expect anything different?

From the yawaspi page, afterword from Shou translated by the guy from Boon.

This is the end of Ran and Keiko's living together.

It's gotten a lot longer than planned, but it's thanks to the readers' comments that I was able to draw 45 chapters. Thank you very much.

I'm planning on drawing more for the 4th volume than for the other volumes. There might even be a sequel. Please look forward to it.

I look forward to the reactions from the community when it's still not yuri
