The ending of this completely killed all the love I had for this story. What a complete betrayal by the author. We get nothing but angst for 80% of this crap and then a few glimpses of happiness with no kisses no mutual love, nothing and then the end…. Bro f this messed up story.

Yes, have you finished it. What happens to Shimamura at the end. It’s twisted.

Are you high? And the series isn't even over yet. As you would know if you had actually read it to the current "end" since the author specifically mentions in the afterword that he has currently plans for 12 volumes.

Yes she’s going to do 2 more about either the new Adachi and Shima in the waste land or more vignettes into their lives as adults. Either way the stupid alien said there’s no coming back from death and she won’t see her again. So we either get the vignettes knowing the true ending or we get 2 different girls in a parallel universe in a waste land.

Either way, sucks

I know it's been a while i read this but i don't remember that moment where one of them die.

Anime special 4. Which for some people apparently seems to mean that nothing else can possibly happen in the actual novels before they eventually reach that point despite this being published before volume 10 where, surprise surprise, progress is still being made... >_>

Not only that, but the special very much confirms the two spent a long happy life together... (Not even going to comment on the insanity of expecting the series itself cover the special-only girls instead of the actual Adachi and Shimamura after volume 10...)

Last chapter before the redo, Shima is alone in her flat cause all her family is dead including Adachi. She’s 70 and that stupid alien is there telling her some universe crap about parallels and you find out Shima is gonna pass soon too. That poof that’s it. The alien girl is like well you can’t see a dead person again.

Anime special novel 4. It messes it all up. Basically paints Shima as this neglecting girlfriend her whole life.

So what you're saying is that Shima is a neglecting girlfriend because she failed to die at the same time as Adachi? You must have truly hated this story, then...

Wait so someone ismad because they will eventually end up dying of old age ? Like normal humans ? Being gay doesn't give you immortality you know. Is it strange to write about the future where your characters are old or dead ? Yes but if you think about it, it's just the natural order.

So? The Anime Special 4 reveals Shima at old age with Adachi dead? The story isn't over yet, Volume 10 has, as far as this site's uploads go, barely begun yet, and such a distant future probably won't be covered, and the even more distant future of AdaShima's reincarnations also won't be covered. The remaining main volumes are gonna cover the high-school girl MCs and the people around them that we know and love. I would've added more points, but Lilli and luinthoron have covered most of the bases already, so it'd just be beating a dead horse.

You totally missed the point, we never really get any relationship development in fact in the point when they are growing up and living together Shima only ever slightly smiles. For 10 books it feels like Shima is just in a daydream and Adachi Is in a one-sided relationship and then after all the buildup at the hot spring we get vignettes of them living together at sped up ages with one left alive suffering, we get an incomplete story and a girlfriend regretting not being a good enough girlfriend etc.

For 10 bucks we don’t even get a kiss we get a sentence that implies that they’ve kissed before maybe only once and still Shima acting like she’s only half conscious. We get nothing we don’t even get a wedding the ending feels rushed and it leaves the reader feeling emotionally manipulated. I enjoyed these books until the last chapter which just felt completely alien to the rest of the story.

No I’m mad because the book weighs 10 separate books building up to something that it never gives the reader, we never get a wedding we never get a kiss and we never get any chapters related to their life as adults except one visit to San Francisco and a failed attempt at one of the characters trying very hard to have a lovey-dovey chance in a hot spring as adults With barely a hint that anything takes place which is weird their relationship feels more platonic and one-sided all the way till the end. I get it people die but in this case the reader just gets emotionally manipulated. I read this all the way to the end hoping for some good closure some thing that showed that they were truly in a relationship like I’m a lesbian and I’m trying to figure out what the fuck happened here

Your preknowledge of the contents of volumes 11 and 12 is amazing.

11 and 12 aren’t out. And the ending suggests we get Shima and Adachi in an alternative reality in a wasteland… fun.. the alien told shima before she dies that you can’t meet Adachi again cause she’s dead basically saying well there’s no after life you just die here and there is another Adachi and Shima somewhere else looking for each other. So either all of that’s a bad dream and she wakes up from 2 nightmares and it’s just a cold sweat and Adachis in bed next to her, or we just get 2 completely different characters on another world.. great so we get the adashima story we already read… in a wasteland? I dunno man. At that point just write a new story cause it’s not the same characters.

I give up... There's no arguing with someone who just doesn't understand that a side story written about events long after the series proper does in no way mean that the full series won't get any new developments (like the entirety of volume 10 published after the anime extras). Hell, the novel itself has in some of the latest volumes jumped back and forth between adult AdaShima and their time in school without this somehow being a problem...

When are we expecting updates?

I should’ve realized the LN was on here too~ I was so bummed out cuz volume 9 was missing chapters on lilymanga

Sadly still missing most of volume 10 here, though, even though the translation is already long finished...

Wow, time sure flies. It's already been a year since adashima hit me last summer. I still remember quite vividly the emotional storm from devouring the volumes one after another.
Speaking of which, any news on volume 11? I wonder if there's any chance for it to pop up this fall? So far I had no notifications from book walker... but one always hopes...
Quite sad, volume 10 is not completely uploaded here yet.

How many chapters left? I wanna read it so bad....
