Well, I'd love to see a sequel, but preferably without much torture as before, xd.

By my count between Chapter 33 and 45 there are 116 pages and the volume will have 152 pages, so there is a difference of 36 pages, so one can say that he fulfilled the promise that the fourth volume will have more extra material than normal .

By the way, do not think the epilogue will be extremely long, I would say it will be similar to Chapter 45, about 14 pages, and we also have to consider other extras as the 8 color pages at the beginning, the pages with information about stretching appearing between one chapter and another, as this has been the structure of volumes so far.

Huh, that's a little disappointing. Don't have the volumes so didn't know that. Hopefully though it's more than 14 pages. I don't know how much he will be able to fit in.

I'm going to guess the epilogue will be 20-25 pages, with the first few just setting things up with images of the cafe where Keiko and Ran are meeting up, and it'll be a vague discussion until near the end when Keiko and Ran talk about how much they love their new boyfriends, then shake hands and leave

sigh

The handshake was my favorite part of the manga, so I'd really like to see that brought back.

I don't think I have any expectations from the coming extra chapter. It'd be great if it explains who texted both girls in the last chapter. The secret hope is it's Saki who writes how great a couple they have been and how dumb they are to break it.
Another hard-shipping hope is the chapter ending with Keiko sending Ran a bouquet of real flowers. Given all the symbolism, that would be equal to the happy ending despite it being so subtext.
But wait, wait. As I said, I have no expectations from the epilogue. None! I want to believe.

I had hopes for that too, but they were crushed right here... It was the picture of them together that their friend sended in the previous page and we see the picture at the end, it makes lot of sense.

Well, the fact that they're both really happy to see a pic of the two of them together and happy still lends credence to my idea that this is the perfect place in a romance story to have a time skip where Keiko figures out her feelings for Ran. We're just not getting the "after" bit.

Still hopeful for an epilogue in the tank. never give up, never surrender!

Very good news, the cover of the fourth volume is now available and frankly I must say it is beautiful.

It will be a good omen?

They're just stretching, just like on the cover for the first volume.

For some reason that cover gave me Junji Ito vibes.

I'm kinda interested in what a yuri manga written by him would be like now, lol.

One can say that this is a black-haired version of Ran dressed as mangaka, although not the first time this character design is recycled by Shou.

Got Volume 4 today. 5 pages with 9 4-komas is what appears after the last chapter.

Yuri stuff, stretches or nothing really relevant?

Well, in one panel of "Question" Ran is feeding Keiko.

The titles for the 4-Komas are:
Wish, Good morning, Chastisement, Single Life 1, Single Life 2, Dream, Osaka, Question, WOMANCE

I used Google Translate to translated them all but WOMANCE. That was it written that way.

Thank you very much for the information, I knew that the epilogue is nine yonkomas in 5 pages, but did not know its contents.

My question then would be whether this book also has a chapter color like the previous volumes?

The other question is, could you do us the favor to scan the most important parts of the volume, particularly the epilogue? Jnko has done this work with previous volumes, but do not know if she intend to do the same with this volume.

As a side note.

Higashiyama Shou was commissioned to illustrate a light novel, which was published on November 21 and it seems that the second part will be published this December. The problem is that this novel is an exclusive of the Kindle Store of Amazon Japan and I could not make the purchase because of a problem I could not solve.

If someone wants to take a look, here is the link to the page of the light novel: https://genron-tomonokai.com/eb/dischronia/

Amazon Japan: http://www.amazon.co.jp/dp/B0189Q2CDO

As curious notes.

This work was signed as Higashiyama Shou, but so far has not made mention of it in his personal blog. It seems that this is the first time that Shou is working as an illustrator for a light novel. Furthermore Show has been a longtime collaborator with Genron, before he has been commissioned to design the mascot of the publisher and illustrate and design the covers of some of their magazines, but this is the first time he makes a work of this scale with this editorial.

The book opens up with colored pages.

I can see what I can do about scanning. I don't have my own scanner so I would have to borrow one from work.

The character on the cover looks like Ran, and for that matter, the Ran-like character looks like she ate every piece of meat in the yakiniku-ya + the Keiko-looking characyer looks pretty cool. that stoic looking stare just oozes "i'm the shit, so ya better watch yer back!"

Shou is an obvious victim of the syndrome of only six faces, still love his style of drawing and the illustrations in this light novel is no exception. By the way, could you do me a favor and buy this book ?, my card for some reason do not want to get along with Amazon Japan, if you want I can pay you back by Paypal.

News:

-The first:

Shou recently wrote a new comment on Stretch, below the translation courtesy of Boon:

"The last volume of Stretch has been finally released!
I had to structure it a little differently than the previous ones and there was a lot to consider,
but the extra-work strengthened my emotional attachment to the characters,
and I had a hard time carrying out the finishing touches since I didn't want it to end.

As usual, there is an original chapter at the beginning, and this time, at the end too.
Please read it when you feel like it.

Well then, let us meet again sometime someplace.

Thank you for reading Stretch"
