are they still together tho?

I was thinking about that as well, but autobiographical means that the work was written by the person who experienced it. With Husky and Medley, this was (IIRC) made by someone else after they read about Medley's experiences, and then asked her for permission to make a manga based on them. So a better tag would maybe be Biographical instead.

We finally got it, the biographical tag! 3 years but so worth it.

Reading this manga again (for like the 6th or 8th time) and there is one stupid line that will always have me giggling uncontrollably in Ch. 6, but I don't know why.

"Thanks Tenko. Thenko."

It's so damn stupid... Why can't I stop laughing?

So good. It's cool to read that they are engaged now but it looks like most sites are down / privated. I just hope its a case of them wanting to go more undercover and not them breaking up :(

based on her twitter, they seem to still be going strong! :DD

/u/ has a thread going on now about them with kind translator anon providing more info from Medley's blog.
https://boards.4chan.org/u/thread/2693767

Any idea how to access an archive of this? Idk how to 4chan let alone search archives, efforts have resulted in nothing found.

That's so weird that it's gone. There might be a way to look up the original thread through a 4chan mirror but I'm pretty clueless on how to do that.

Found some stuff after searching around. Will update if there's more.

Dunno why but the archive within an archive link killed me with laughter. Good links, thanks.

If anyone needs help grabbing any other relevant threads or material from /u/ (for this series, I mean) shoot any of the relevant threads / numbers over. Should be easy to grab within a reasonable time frame ( think the cap is like 10 years).

this is the teenage love story that I never had

I always read this every time I see it on the "Featured series". Hoping they are still together and happy.

I always read this every time I see it on the "Featured series". Hoping they are still together and happy.

according to the translation blog's comments, it seems that husky left four handwritten notes spanning sometime in 2017/2018 stating that she and medley were still together and that husky had proposed to medley and that they were hoping to get married someday. I'm not entirely sure, but if you look on Twitter, it seems like husky and medley had a joint shared account under @mesdorei (https://twitter.com/mesdorei) which fans have eagerly responded to. The account is still active but unsure if it's the same person as I don't personally follow them.

The wordpress site husky uploaded her notes to was taken down sometime in 2019 due to some sort of malicious attack (?), even tho it needed a password to enter the website "mesdorei.com", and fans were asking if it could be translated and shared. the TL group responded with this link: https://weibo.com/u/5185989941.

the group also kept an archive of translated tweets up until 2016 or so. http://husmedgojitudann.blogspot.com/2014/09/blog-post_23.html

if anyone has any idea on this piece of info, that'd be great.

This manga is so wholesome and I love how it's based off of a real couple. I wish for a long, happy life for Husky and Medley!!

Husky and Medley are indeed still together, with Medley continuing activities on twitter/note. Their new account is above.

They did hold a marriage ceremony sometime in 2018 (they delayed reporting it until 2019 for privacy purposes), and a few years ago moved away from Tokyo for Medley's job. (There was some unrest at the time with Medley wavering as to whether she should take the transfer/opportunity since it'd mean she'd have to be away from Husky, but somehow they seem to have managed to arrange it so that Husky was able to go with her. Both Medley and Husky are successful careerwomen.)

The period when they were on their previous note account was pretty great as Medley also put up youtube broadcasts (with Husky fairly frequently participating) answering messages from their twitter followers. They scaled down their activities after the aforementioned harassment, going dark on twitter for over a year. Their twitter account is currently locked to pre-existing followers, and they're sticking to paywalled posts on their new note account.

(Their content on their old note account was also mostly paywalled, but honestly incredibly interesting. Husky and Medley both wrote long series of retrospective blog posts about their interactions/relationship from the start of high school, more than a year before the events of the 2ch thread, as well as details of later events such as Medley coming out to her family (younger brother, older sister, mother, then father. Also grandma). I still have access to most of their articles from the time as even though the old account was deleted, note retains access to content users have paid for. The free articles are unfortunately lost, but I imagine the weibo group mentioned above might have access to more complete archives.)

Going further back in time, if you're interested in followups to Husky and Medley's story past the events of the manga but before they moved to twitter/blogging platforms, this page is a comprehensive archive of their 2ch activities:

Thank you!!!!!! Super sad to hear they experienced harassment, but I'm glad to hear they're doing well. Thanks again.

Thanks for the links, glad to hear they're married and happy :)
Turns out they accepted my twitter follow at some point, but I don't usually use twitter so I didn't realise until now :p
Here's an example of a tweet:
"Dec 20, 2023
When I first started dating Husky, I would wake up in the morning and think to myself, ``Oh, we're both in love with each other, so it's not a dream after all, right?? It's so crazy that Husky is my girlfriend!!'' But when we started living together... When I woke up, there was a face next to me, so time stopped and I looked at my sleeping face and realized that I was late for my part-time job.

Oh, this is so lovely… not so much on an artistic level, but I’m such a sucker for this kind of real life love story. High school is such a wild time.

And I’m so happy to hear that they’re still together. Love is real. Although it’s funny to think that they’re still only somewhere in their mid 30s if the story happened in 2007. There’s so much time out there.

This is so sweet and sweeter knowing the background.

fucking masterpeice

THIS IS SO GODDAMN CUTE WAHAHAHAAAAAA

i done seen their twitter. they are doing well.

For anyone wondering, they're still together happily married!

Still going strong

Still going strong

Let me tell you, the story of those two reminds me of a personal experience of mine. The experience of casually, not throuh deliberaty gossiping, learning of two stranger's private life; of finding their situation to be cute; of also casually learning years later than they are still together; and of feeling a small pang of joy in it (you know, the whole Bhudist concept of Mudita, or "taking joy in other's happines", thing.

Around two decades ago, a New Year morning, walking on my way home (and yes, that was right next door from my city's quite famous LGTB district. ), I saw two girls of which I couldn't help to notice that all their clothing, attitude, smiles and body language (let alone handholding) screamed "this could be a romantic comedy movie's 'happy ending - she confessed on New Year and got a yes' scene". Of which, at the time I only tought "yep, that's cute", and thougt nothing more of it - beside the aforementioned "this looks like a movie - must be the New Year effect" thing. Yet I've been casually catching glimpses of those two girls (now, considerably older, too) basically every other New Year for two decades, always together, always smiling, always handolding. Movie, sequels, whole franchise :-) Of course each time I see them I can't help to think for a second "good for them!" Why not? Even if I don't even know them.

I'm not interested in Husky and Medley's private life.I'm not even curious about them. I don't keep tabs, I won't try to read their tweets (or whatever the fuck you call them now), I'm not invested in THEM even if I've just suggested this classic comic for featured chapters. But finding that they are still together, decades later, like the two movie-like girls of so many new years above... yep. Mudita moment, right here.

We gays, being a minority, often don't have any role model to look up to in our lives. Everyone we know, everywhere we look, the only life model we see is the heteronormative one. Our family, our coworkers, in movies and books and even in ads, you only see straight couples and families. Even if there are LGBT+ characters, they often suffer or break up by the end. It can feel like your identity is being rejected by the world, like a way for you to be happy doesn't exist. So knowing there are gay people like you who live together in happy relationship gives you hope that you too can find happiness. It's a proof that we can have good a life like everyone else.
