On another note, Canno has done a little interview with Yurinavi to celebrate the end of the series. I'll see if I can translate it (though if someone else can I won't stop them X) ).

And we might expect a Revue Starlight doujin before long since she's apparently hooked on it lately.

Thank you, @Lyendith, very cool.

Finally!! I've been over this manga for so long, but I'm annoyed when things aren't wrapped. The main-ish pairing finally with some closure. Glad I didn't close it out after the first two token interruptions.

I'm with you. Definitely glad they swapped moisture, but like James Cameron said about Aliens: It's forty miles of bad road.

My history buff kicked in once again... for this salt to the Earth thing reminded me of Carthage... Romans salted the fields so the city wouldn't grow again.

Didn't, actually; that's pretty much an invention of 19th-century Romantic fancy. Between the market price of salt, the size of the city and the extremely advantageous location that'd have been some truly extravagant waste for mere symbolic spite anyway.
Au contraire they almost immediately founded a new settlement on the spot though the first attempt fell foul of the turbulent domestic politics of the mid-late Republic; the second mid-1st cent BC effort fared better and within a hundred years grew into the fourth-largest city in the whole empire.
("Salt of the earth" meanwhile is an entirely unrelated and somewhat obtuse Biblical metaphor.)

This is a seasonal thing—when a popular long-runner is ending, certain species are compelled to come and say, “I’m better than the people who like this.”

It’s like the swallows returning to Capistrano (including the smell of birdshit).

Any overcompensating history lessons from certain people aside, the phrase is supposed to mean something positive, but is usually used sarcastically. The more you know.

The animal kingdom can be rather obtuse and contradictory, huh?

That said, we're waiting for last chapter... Though, the fact that the link to a tweet showing the preview of it wasn't posted by Lyendith concerns me...

Another one all wrapped up and ready for rereading. It's been a heck of a journey and I loved it the whole way through. The tanks usually have bonus material though, so we might even get an epilogue or something when it comes out.

What does being relieved a series is ending have to do with being better than anyone??? @__@

Some people like the series; some people don't. Some people have been reading it for years; some have not. Some people are sad that it's ending; some people are relieved.

I'm in the relieved, been reading for years camp. Doesn't make me better or worse than others. But I do seem to be in a minority. That doesn't mean I have bad feelings toward the majority. --I don't. But I am a bit annoyed some people cannot keep their comments to the subject at hand and instead seem to be casting judgement on others for expressing a not positive?? opinion.

You can disagree with an expression or comment without making blanket statements about people.

I am unfamiliar with the initial reply phrase -- "You people really are the salt of the earth..." -- and have failed to followed the conversation it prompted. My (brief) search revealed that main phrase was originally a compliment, but it can also be seen as an unhanded insult. The "You people" and trailing ellipses makes it sound negative to me, and the context of the greater conversation -- comparing my decision to share my thoughts to animals -- certainly invokes the "simple" (negative) interpretation. If any of this was meant to be positive, it was lost in text.

Anyway, it was nice seeing I wasn't the only one happy to be at the last chapter.

I'm released!! (ノ◕ヮ◕)ノ*:・゚✧ ✧゚・: *ヽ(◕ヮ◕ヽ)
