that was the last chapter (the end)?

OH WAIT THAT WAS THE END? THERE WAS NO SEGGS?! No no no so many years passed, it's got to be like "a room for two" where they had intense seggs in between chapters, yeah that's what totally happened guys.

Not only did she go back to how she was before getting all pretty for the kouhai, she even brought them down with her... :D

I can't believe the final twist of the story is that Ruka was a chubby-chaser all along!

I really wouldn't call that a twist, we've known this since chapter one. ;)

Wait what? Is this a thing? When?

And about the chapter - wait what? Why? That was absurdly abrupt.

Well, there were some intense eggs in ch6...

The art is still cute but the weight loss theme gets harder to stomach with each chapter. Seriously though, why does she have to lose weight now? She’s not even that fat, and she’s clearly happier eating like this. What’s the point in her torturing herself to fit into some arbitrary standard of acceptable weight?

Also, is this series over? This felt sort of like an ending.

Didn't expect this to be the final chapter. I guess they're trapped in a vicious cycle of losing weight and getting fat again.

Well, thats what happens if you dont plan for the time after you reached your goal. people just eat like before again and it wont take long to be back at where you started

No idea if this is the final chapter or what actually, just assuming from the sudden time skips and also the thing on the bottom of the final page.
Edit: it says おわり at the bottom which means end, unlike the usual つづくwhich means to be continued, plus its recorded as completed on mangadex. Pain.

About the futaribeya, I think ill have to reread it or reread the thread again but it's somewhat implied that they've at least done some uh.. Platonic kissing? Behind the scenes in the recent special chapters. Their relationship is kinda wack ngl but it seems to be getting explored, now just have to wait like a year or two for the next chapter..

I love Ruka's hair at the end

That was an abrupt jump for sure.

Owari.

I'm a tad disappointed that there was no payoff for all the thick thick subtext but as far as the overall story of the weight loss goes, that's about as appropriate and conclusive as I expected.

If she's satisfied being chubby then of course she'd end up in that status quo again after achieving her temporary goal. I like it tbh, despite the overall iffyness of the narrative, it's nice that a story shows the MC being chubby as happy and content at the end, that's rare.

Yeah, that's what I've been going on as well, really abrupt if it ends here and like this. Kinda bummed if that's the case, honestly.

About the futaribeya...

Ah, yeah. The kisses I have seen. Also one of the specials had some potentially crucial developments which is neat to see, though I do admit I'm not exactly following it too closely. Thinking about it, I should really go through with a proper read of it myself, only read up to a certain point and then in fragments here and there.

I do not yet know how to format pictures into comments, so here's a simple chef's kiss.

Wait, was that really the last chapter?!
Well I'll just assume that those two started dating at some point before the flash forward.

I assume that it's the last chapter, since Ritsu accomplished her goal(for the moment) and because of the timeskip to a year later, but I don't see any sort of "Fin" or "The End" that I can tell. I'd like some official confirmation on whether the series is over.

Out of curiosity, is Ritsu the protagonist's full first name, or is it short for Ritsuka? If it's the latter, then that might explain why people call her "Zuka-chan."

I think it's bc of her last name. Tsukada > Tsuka > Zuka

also, according to this tweet, this is indeed the final chapter (of the "main story" if twitter autotranslate can be trusted)

Thanks for explaining. I had a suspicion that her last name played some part in inspiring her nickname, but wanted to be sure. The other "Zuka-chan" I'm familiar with is Shirobako's Shizuka Sakaki- "Zuka-chan" to her yearmates Aoi "Oi-chan" Miyamori and Ema Yasuhara(no nickname), and "Zuka-chan-sempai" to her kohais Misa "Mii-chan" Toudou and Midori "Ri-chan" Imai.

what a shame they didn't explicitly end up together in the end

Man I was so confused by this chapter I thought it was a flashback for ages.

Overall, good series, obviously I’m upset we got no payoff but it’s on me for clicking a Subtext series :P

I take solace in the fact that it's labeled as yuri on the raw page, that's good enough for me. Them's gay

This felt like a strange chapter...just a "well all that effort for nothing, and now everyone is gaining weight lol". I don't know what to think...I still love the art and character designs at least haha

I feel like the subtext was thick enough to accept that they're a couple that just isn't into public displays of affection.

My guess is the author didn't want to portray weight loss as a necessary thing for one's self esteem, so they tried have their cake and eat it too and played it off for laughs. A bit clumsy maybe, but I honestly like it better than a lot of those shoujos where the protagonist "becomes beautiful," and then everything is great for them.
