Personally, I think the author is probably drawing these snippets as a way to cope with the situation, she did say it took a toll on her.

That’s my take too (although admittedly on very slight evidence). And to me these are funny and enjoyable, and I’m grateful for them.

Also, remembering the hate against the fangirl and the hype about the kiss, I too have a question. Fact is, people do not seem to be too bothered with what is, from a pacing standpoint, a really poor choice from the author, something that quite frankly seems odd considering how involved everyone was at the time. So I am wondering, are people sympathising with real life happenings in the author's life, and are thus going easy on the whole issue? Because I somehow think there would be a lot more displeasure expressed if this was happening, but there was no censorship issue, and the story did this for seemingly no reason. I could be wrong, though, and people genuinely have nothing against the current unique pacing.

Edit: Went back and checked, yeah, many people are "this is cute, but what about the main story", or some variation thereof. So obviously, the audience here seems aware there is an issue with this, but hardly anyone looks actually displeased. Which is odd, considering how emotions ran high on the fangirl plot immediately preceding this.

^As my posts have been suggesting, readers are used to many a worst-case “You know that series you’ve been enjoying?—No more ever!” outcome with translated manga, so while all or most readers almost certainly do want the main story to continue, at least the short pieces show that the creator is still active and still interested in the material, as a sudden and complete blackout would not.

It’s a very odd development, as if Citrus suddenly went plotless 4-koma starting next chapter with no explanation, but I’m glad that what we’re getting while we wait is generally amusing and often quite adorable.

what a nerd

I'm just happy with whatever I get. I've stopped looking forward to new updates/chapters and I just appreciate whatever is being uploaded that day or go back and reread something... Anyway, thanks for uploading!

I'm okay with what is being uploaded I just hope at some point the story can continue because I dig all the characters. It was a weird moment that the main story stopped at.

What even happened to this story...?

qui tong gets prettier every time tan draws her <3

Oh thank god

That guy is walking on the bike path thing. Throw him in jail!

To be fair, this one feels more friendly to me since I do the whole shoe thing with my friends too.

Or...

Oh no.

Is
that
actually
flirting?

" Hey....I like you..." :Slowly steps on her shoe:
"I...l-like you too senpai" :steps on shoe back:

:Lewd shoe stomping occurs:

This is the sweet, gentle, intimate-relationship version; Sun Jing and Mophead express their deep friendship by punching each other out.

adorable

Well the difference there is that Citrus would be infinitely improved by such a move.

I'd rather we get nothing than have my hopes dashed over and over by an empty Their Story chapter release.

This is great. Only thing is that QT is actually the senpai here!

I relate to this sentiment on a deep emotional level. Why it has an anime I will never know.
