WOHOOO

Yay!

I believe the next chapter is the last, save for any volume extras, so I'm guessing a time jump for the final? Would make sense given the phrasing in the already translated Aftertime sequel story.

Happy international women's day to these two idiots in particular, glad they finally got together ❤️

Lovely, and I love that color page!

LETS GOOOOOOO THE SHIP HAS LANDED BOISSSS

How “Stretch” should have ended.

“He has his dreams, and you have your reality, may it be as equally pleasant.”—Mentarian, ST:TOS, “Glass Menagerie” episode. I’d like this manga become a drama, too.

I'm eagerly awaiting the alternative interpretation of this chapter in the comments that will involve tit sucking

Yayyy they did it!

'i ADORE the way Nanami, for a brief second, "runs away" a little bit for herself, when she turns her head away and says "special doesn't cut it. There has to be a proper reason..." She cuts out the tiniest, muted sliver of her own frustration, and that's really all that remained left at that point. The way its prefaced by her thoughts moments earlier, of 'Oops, here I go forgiving kaede again and falling back in our routine', so brilliant. She limps out her "But that's not all I want" as one last weak attempt to push away and widen that sliver, but its still paper thin. Just wonderful.

The ending was nice at least. I think I'm just burned out from "useless lesbians can't get to the point and need 20 years to finally get together" stories.

LET'S FUCKING GOOO

8 volumes later... the obscene amounts of built up just felt kinda silly now that theyre together it's like .. alright thats it everyone go home

Man, that was a long and painful road to get there, but it finally happened!
Am still glad we've had the afterstory before the end. I probably would've dropped it otherwise.
Still, I'm glad I stick to the end, me hearts fuzzy and warm and shit.

idk, it's nice they finally did it but it just feels kinda weak

I liked it

Please for the love of God don't let this troll as hard as Stretch did

And we can now say it didn't. At long last.

Still, wouldn't a better ending be if the sensible roommate moves away, leaving the mangaka heartbroken for life, drinking heavily, and maybe her father gets killed while we're at it? No?

You drive a hard bargain. Okay, the office manager can hate her mother and have massive schizophrenic hallucinatory attacks and unresolved issues with her ex-husband, and that's my final offer!

It's as if you don't know how to properly end a yuri series, honestly!

Is there still another chapter? This felt like the end, but volume 8 only has 4 chapters, some others have 5... hmmm...

It says ongoing but this is the last volume. There is a lot of "aftertime" stuff and maybe one or two stories of those out there. I would say one more full chapter and an X.5 chapter and that's a wrap.

Romance stories tend to end when the two leads officially get together.

Finally they've talked things through.

And such a lovely end to the chapter. ^_^

Honestly I'm just glad with Nanami and Kae resolving all that. (bare minimum enjoyer)

Be together for years to come. Bullocks. Come to me when it's 30.

Man, I feel like they only drag out Koyuki (? The girl with the freckles) to yell advice at kaede every few chapters so she is forced to actually thing about her feelings

Every single character aside from the main two was basically a vehicle for thought stimulants for the protagonists. They could've been combined into a fairy that existed only to dispense sage advice and the story would not have been much different.

a lame mangaka that’s spoiled by multiple hot women is a great fantasy and a hyper-competent big sis type that can pull any girl is a great fantasy so I say it was all for us tbh

Yeah hasn’t this been running since 2015/16 or something? A bit anticlimactic.

I'm extremely grateful to the translation team, you people are the heroes we don't deserve!

Yeah, I was hoping for some kind of epilogue. But that one afterlife chapter (with them being together for a while) is already all I wanted... so not sad in any way. I'm glad I could read such a good story.
