I know plenty of people who get emotional support from their friends rather than their lover/spouse.

This is a case where she considers the emotional support friend to be a romantic rival, though. There's an issue with her believing she understands Asahi's feelings better than Asahi herself, even if it's presented as true in the text, but being insecure to the tune of feeling second best isn't a good foundation at all. I think she was pretty mature to walk away.

I think even Asahi would believe that the people around her would understand her own feelings better than herself since she doesn't have a clue about them!

Pretty sure even Hinako has a better idea. And we know what kind of disaster sandwich that girl is.

I think the trope was handled pretty well, although yet again it goes the same route like it always has in most other series where this trope appears.

Anyone else notice a drop in quality this chapter? Not in the story, but I felt the drawings were a bit weak + no backgrounds on a lot of pages. Just me?

From the perspective of the omniscient audience, I can definitely understand her walking away and feel sympathy for Fuuka, but I also think she was pretty reckless with Asahi's feelings by picking her up and then dumping her in a way that puts all the blame on her. It was practically Asahi's first time. Fuuka wanted it to be perfect, it could have ended as merely mediocre, but instead it became something full of shame and guilt for Asahi.

The more I think about it, the more I think I would be furious at Fuuka if I were Subaru.

I also wonder if maybe part of the problem is that Fuuka was in love with the idea of Asahi, rather than the woman herself.

Bless this series. I've read it so many times already both in digital and print. Even if it's another series that ends with their confession, I'll always cherish it.

Is the ending available in spoilers somewhere? I'm thinking of picking up a physical copy, but I'm worried there's going to be a bad end...

im actually rather impressed w everyone involved here: none of the contrived drama lasts anymore than a chapter, everybody is communicating effectively & often, nobody is intentionally lying/obscuring the truth in attempt to gain something.. i especially like that the dilemma around the "i cant fall in love" statement is "oh no now my feelings are going to hurt them."

Saw an article stating that volume 4 is going to be the final volume of this series. Hopefully the author just planned it to be that long rather than the series getting axed and cut short.

It's been one of my favorite series since it released so it's a bit of a shame that it'll be so short but I'd prefer a short and solid story over long and meandering.

I think one more volume is enough to end the story in a satisfying way, but sad to hear nonetheless. We've just had both their epiphanies. I would've liked to see Hinako and Asahi get in a relationship and gradually adjust to each other and their wants, while now it seems like it'll wrap up at just starting the relationship. Well, let's just hope the author wasn't rushed.

However it ends, I'll be satisfied with it.

There were still a few points that could have been better: The office setting felt underutilized, too much emphasis on the love triangle, and barebones supporting cast. But overall, the core relationships are solid and I truly want them to find happiness.

Is it still translated or has it been dropped?

Is it still translated or has it been dropped?

This is a difficult question to answer. In short, I don't really know.

The translator we were working with at Yuri Project has been away for a little while now (a month or so), and they didn't give me a heads up about leaving or anything. I'm hoping that they'll be back, but in the mean time, there's not much we can do regarding the series. I'm thankful for any patience being provided to us regarding our lack of releases, and if the translator does return I'm fully committed to continuing the series, but if anyone else decides to pick up where we've left off right now, I won't stand in their way.

oh, I hope the translator is ok! let's pray that they return soon. raws shouldn't be a problem, but without a translator they are useless(( really hope this continues, you've been doing such a great job so far...

I miss this series...

so true...

I figured the lack of chapters was something like this. Hope the translator is okay, you hate to see it, I’ve been supporting the official release so it’s whatever, I just hate having to wait for entire volumes to come out in the west lol

This is one of my favorite series of all time, so I really hope either the translator returns, or we can find a new one. This doesn't deserve to just be left hanging.

Sad, a confession as a last desperate attempt to win over the girl she loves. I don't like one-sided love but this time I can tolerate it because it's an honest and beautiful battle between two good girls who love the same woman.

What’s the actual status on this series? I never see the creator tweet about it like they do the other series they work on, did this one wrap up?

I cant see anything for it beyond 3 volumes, but it seems like it has enough chapters for at least 4? I’m confused lol

https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2022-04-25/donuts-under-a-crescent-moon-manga-ends-serialization-in-may/.184994 Welp :/

Apparently it was announced with the vol 3 that the fourth would be the end, so good news, there's enough material that we have not seen to fill the fourth volume, so hopefully it won't feel rushed and it's all planed to end this way... Bad news is, we still don't have translation.
Hypothetically https://sevenseasentertainment.com/series/doughnuts-under-a-crescent-moon/ sevens seas would release the final volume around the end of 22 or some time next year? so... yeah, we wait

Soooooo, I just read the final chapter (20, unless there's some kind of epilogue later, but it says 'fin') on the latest Yurihime and... Yeah... I'm just gonna say the ending felt very rushed and I'll leave it at that. Good story up until that point, I suppose...

So if you're sad you're gonna have to wait for the rest on an official site, don't worry about it too much. You're not missing much IMO. Bummer, cause this was one of my favorites until now...
