Most likely cancelled, in other words the sales weren't good or the mangaka didn't want to continue so they wrap it up quickly, the mangaka is already working on a new title about 12 girls.

Reading this post made me imagine Canno's career arc just being nothing but larger and larger polycules (yeah, I know that isn't really what Ecliptic is, but it's fun to imagine)

this manga is everything
thank you canno-sensei
i love it with all my heart

Does anyone know if there are volume 2 extras out there somewhere?

On her most recent YouTube stream, it seemed like Canno was talking about this manga with her chat starting at around 21:30.

Unfortunately, I have no way myself of knowing what she said. Probably nothing to do with the publishing, at any rate.

^ Oh boy, is that her real voice? >.> Doesn’t seem like she was talking about Yasakan though.

So Canno and HKY apparently released a polyamory yuri anthology called "Lemonade", dunno if anyone’s on it.

Only when polyamory or incest is taboo, fictions of this genre has their meaning and fun.

^^ huh? Anyway... I get the sense maybe Canno is polyam herself. This was a lovely re-read, I didn't get a sense that it was canned at all. As for Akira I think it is perfectly fine and reasonable for her to have had shaky footing at the onset of the polycule's start, but she finds it by the last chapter! Gotta love the all time favorite past time of "kissing practice" lol

Read this again. Still don't like Akira.

Read this again two years later. Still don't like Akira.

i feel like akira's hangups over clearly wanting to be mono at first should've had at least 2 more chapters to flesh out and resolve

I wish that we had more poly yuri works
Overall a nice read with good art, she improved a lot since her other work AnoKiss

Read this again, I like everyone and it's exactly as long as it needs to be. Honestly pretty surprised people expected more from a series called "An Easy Introduction," lol. The author had a clear goal and imo passed it with flying colors.

im rereading this and my memory was that akira wasnt very into it but was willing to go along to be with Rin but reading it now, only halfway through like I've totally lost any empathy for her, shes downright mean to mayuki in her thoughts and she doesnt give a fuck about rin either, all she cares about is herself

her insisting on kissing mayuki (or rather mayuki kissing her) after she thought all that terrible stuff about her is seriously gross and not only that she did it to stop rin from being happy so she could hopefully move in on her instead

oh my god.... this is such an amazing setup?? what. its polyamory right? no stupid love triangle heartbreak ending. and what great art??? wow i love it already

i love how this manga is apparently set in reality. like: oh shit im kissing the girl im supposed to teach. ah no i cant just kiss my friend while she's sleeping. it tittilates then brings it back to reality. i think internal conflict and slow burn over that only makes it more awesome. Rins tormented faces lol

wow finally akira snaps out of her possessive infatuation. damnnnn. YES. this manga sets it up (the emotional arc) and immediately slamdunks it. (oops i was only thinking about myself)

i must say....the resolution was almost too sappy. and i feel like the individual pairings' appeals weren't preserved in the mix. i would have liked it if they'd spent time on how rin feels towards akira, and the development of her feelings. and rin towards mayuki. that would have done the trick i think.

so it's cheating but it's legit if you call it poly
200IQ cheating
