BTW, sensei announced in advance that volume 6 will be a thicker volume, so there might still be at least 2 chapters left.

On the last page of last month's YuriHime, there's no "climax chapter" indication for KimiTsuzu, so I'm leaning toward 2.

But yes ... it surely going to come to a conclusion sooner than later.

There are 2. The next month's chapter is the final.

It's currently still a rumor. He gets things wrong all the time, so I wouldn't rely on his information.

The next issue will come out in about 8 hours anyway, so we'll see

I've seen the actual "next issue" page, and yep, next chapter will be last.

Sensei just post an update ... I'll post a new message.

Anyway, we got an official notice from Yuama-sensei that she's skipping 2024/01 issue (releasing 2023/11/17), so next chapter won't come out until December.

Just got a confirmation from Yuama-sensei that there'll be 2 chapters left for KimiTsuzu. The "conclusion" marking on the "next issue" page of 2024/01 issue was a mistake.

So, we'll be getting one chapter in December, and one in ... whenever that drops. See you then.

Thank you

Lmao at ANN and some other news places posting that serie is going to end in December with February issue, doesn't hurt to look at author tweets to make sure (since this month serie went on break, yurihime probably had the notice ready which they didn't remove lol)

I read through the localized manga, and I noticed a major difference between it and the fan translation on Page 12 of Chapter 13. For context, Shizuku's on the train and worrying about how her apology to Ruri will go.

In the fan translation, Shizuku thinks, "Back then, I basically just had my mom make a formal apology. I can't repeat that."

In the localization, however, Shizuku thinks, "Back then, my parents had me apologize and promise never to do it again."

I'm curious as to which is correct, but I'm leaning toward the fan translation- you can see Mrs. Hoshikawa seems to be bowing but Shizuku appears to be standing up straight, implying that Shizuku couldn't apologize (most likely due to nerves after seeing the mother of the girl she bullied), or chose not to. It also fits with how Shizuku is determined to actually apologize this time.

I don’t know Japanese but since the official is done by Seven Seas, there's a higher chance the fan translation is more correct because it is not uncommon for the 7seas translation to be littered with mistakes or be a very, very loose translation that loses all nuance. There's several series I've read where the translation is flat out wrong and completely changes the meaning of the scene. Or sometimes you don't even need to have read the fan translation for comparison to see a speech bubble that completely doesn't make sense with the context.

That's certainly true, but I noticed a few things that were more accurate in the localization. For example, in Chapter 5 of the localization, Shizuku says she "bullied (her) friend" in the singular rather than plural in the fan translation, since Shizuku didn't bully anyone besides Ruri. At the start of Chapter 15, Seri says that she "heard (Shizuku) yell," rather than seeing Kaori collapse like she claimed to in the fan translation- the two only noticed because Ruri heard Shizuku calling Kaori's name (Seri's expression implies that she heard it, too, and that Ruri confirmed that Seri wasn't just imagining things).

I've heard some people compare this with Your Lie in April, and I can certainly see the similarities (particularly a terminally ill girl named Kaori), but does it remind anyone of A Silent Voice? Both star suicidal former bullies who fall in love, but in this series, the bullying victim and the love interest are separate characters.

Well, shit

Always was hoping something would happen, and she'd pull through.

Glad they were able to tell each other their feelings. What a good tragedy. Tearin' up a bit.

Guess who's going to work ~crying~

T_T

We're expecting a new chapter this month (Jan 2024), so we'll do our best to get the release out asap once the raw is out.

Volume 6 in Japanese is scheduled to be on sale on 2024/02/17. There's a first-print limited edition, so I'd highly recommend getting it if you can. Scanlation-release-wise, we'll probably have c32, volume extra, and then the first print limited booklet.

I hope that you will continue to support the series until the end.

just woke up and saw this had updated, decided to read it, day ruined TT this really hits u man

Well, it was written on the wall since the beginning.

Happy new year.

Way to start 2024 huh...
I knew this was going to happen but I had hopes for a happy ending T-T

I'm trying to be positive, at least they spent this last summer together and got their feelings known, Still, this is unfair...

God damnit why i did I read this now I'm about to cry

FUUUUUUUUUUUCK

i knew it was coming
but i couldnt help but hope for a bs plot armor miracle to get my girls the happy ending they deserve

We all knew it would end like this but it still hurts none the less

Welp, that tears it

This is the best yuri manga of 2024 so far </3

I already saw the raws and I'm not ready for this translated one. My heart can't take it yet. Maybe in few months.

That last page doesn't exist

We all knew it would end like this but it still hurts none the less

Nothing says true yuri fan like the fact we all ignore inevitable outcomes

No miracles this time, I guess. At the same time, as legitimately painful as this is, I also find it very cathartic and satisfying that they both got some sort of closure; Shizuku with finishing her novel and confessing, Kaori with her last wish being granted. Shizuku kissing Kaori's hand in a gesture that leaves little room for interpretation as to what this means, to me was particularly satisfying. I mean, that's the kiss that is the apex of every romance story, you know? I also especially loved how the kiss was tied into and how the "reveal" of the confession was done, even though it was rather obvious, or hell, especially since from the very beginning everything was already pretty obvious, it makes how good a story this is all the more prevalent. In all honesty, it takes every fiber of my being not to break down in tears, and it is exhausting.
