LET'S GOOO

I'm still not convinced the series is actually ending for good. The last chapter in Japanese just sets up perfectly for the mangaka to eventually pick it back up. Maybe it's just my hopeful delusion, but I think they'll continue the manga some time in the future

Well honestly, if it wasn't because the author and the publisher twitter posted about it ending back then, anyone would still be waiting for more chapters now lol

Pretty much, yeah. But letting it end that way could maybe then be a "backdoor" to restart the series eventually. Maybe the author has other projects on their plate right now or something, dunno

"The department's battle couple" is just way too good

I think it’s chill if they don’t end together but like rip Shima’s love life, every girl she dates is just gonna assume she has a hopeless crush on her roommate whether or not it’s true

Guess we’re settling back in for the time being, just office antics, which is fun in its own way

Setting up the 'they works so good together and realize both their strengths' scene. If we get a 'fight between roomates followed by a make up' arc because they need each other arc, I will call the yuri to behappening

aaaaand we’re back to the original programming! gotta love when authors drop bombshell chapters and resume like we all didn’t just feel every emotion possible the previous chapter!

This outlook is way too optimistic though. The great majority of mangaka don't have the luxury to draw whatever they want, whenever they want when it comes to official publishing. It's not like an author can just waltz into the editor office and request a serialization. Forget about restarting a finished series; it's not even in the artist's hands whether their current manga can go on or not.

The reality is that when a manga is officially over, in 99% of cases it's gone for good (unless it's one of those blockbusters that spawn cash cow franchises). It's a business. You bet that when publishers are willing to let a series go for whatever reason, they won't be inclined to pick up the same thing again. It's especially true for niche series by low profile mangaka. Nothing stops a mangaka from publish new content of their finished series on twitter, pixiv, (which is what Tokuwotsumu has done for this series) or at doujin conventions, but another serialization won't happen in all likelihoods.

Btw, Tokuwotsumu has just started a new series a couple of weeks ago. Title is 'In this room where cherry blossoms bloom' or something like that. I would certainly check it out if it is translated.

With the amount of times they said 'friends' or 'frinedship', I feel like mangaka-san is teasing us very much. So much teasing.
enormous teasing.
Lots of very teasing.

This is one of those "couple-in-all-but-name" stories that we came to love (and sometimes hate).

Those photos don't go on the employee cards, they should go on the marriage registration...

wait, you guys don't carry a photo of the friend you're living with around all day and spend almost every second together and get sad when apqrt for even a day?
But tbh, if they happy, I dont care if the yuri comes.

i love this so much.

there has been some seriously cozy development for both of them to go from "Girl I refill soap containers with" to "I don't want to imagine a life where I'm not roommates with my super cute best friend/challenge partner"

the little moments are just so adorable

we’re officially in “best friends” status… or at least definitely at the point where there’d be zero chance either of them would cringe if the other used that label !!

Okay the chapter did end really good but did Isa just forget Shima told her she was gay that one time?

Yeah pretty stupid to see how madly in love with each other you two are.
