And then they both got therapy and were placed in a very kind and loving foster family together.

The end

That... Went much better than I thought it would.

I see the Angst Abandonment Issues Suicide, I click on the story to see what's up, I let myself breathe again once I'm done reading and they're thankfully both still alive.

It's not often that a story gets me to stop breathing out of sheer dread of what is to come but hey, you really only notice you were tensed up when you relax don't you.

page 121, panel 4, "be be by just smiling blankly into the camera"

I thought Sakasana would actually commit this time.

PHEW. I was so worried, I sped read this. Had me panicked after I just finished another story, "I love your crummy/cruddy" or Kitanai Kimi ga Ichiban Kawaii

Ended way more wholesome than I thougt it would. That suicide/aangst tag was keeping me skeptical, but im glad it had a happy ending (or is it where the heck these kids going man where is CPS)

Oh man. This artist

Huh. Kinda similar to Summer, Lemon, and Overlay which recently finished, but with that Sakasana twist (and as a oneshot).
I did not expect that relatively upbeat ending, but then again, not going all grimdark does fit Sakasana's MO. I should read In the Gardens of Gehenna some time... That one sure has a set of tags.

These literal 10 year olds running around doing all this stuff... Do Asagao's parents just give her their credit card?

I am low key dissapointed there wasn't actual suicide. To be honest. But eh happy ending, fine ok.

The "suicide" tag will make me think of tragedy, but no.
This story doesn't have any tragedy occurred, but a happy ending instead.

Phew, close one. I'm glad this author enjoys happy endings (:

Oh yeah, um... what's with the title?

Huh, for a manga with those tags things turned out... kinda fine? Like yeah, their mental is still rat-fucked, but at least they're alive. Only way from here is up I say.

Feel like this one would have worked perfectly fine if they were college age at least

Headcanon.

Oh yeah, um... what's with the title?

The Japanese title is “ロングロングタップオンリーオンリールック”, i.e. literally “rongu rongu tappu onrii onrii rukku”. Not sure what the intent was here ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Like the bizarre amount of emotional maturity is fine, the fact they wanna die is fine, but what is this financial power???

It would've "worked" but it would have felt fundamentally different. Sasakana's works are often about the exploitation of children, how adults simultaneously view them as "pure and innocent" while wielding harsh punishment the moment they step out of line, and this one is no different. Note how the comments swing on a dime between over-the-top praise to bitter judgment (or that one even explicitly sexualizes Kaede).

It's obviously supposed to be disturbing that such young girls are engaging in this behavior. They were forced to grow up before they were ready due to their absent parents (presumably Asagao's are rich and give her a credit card as an excuse to not have to take care of her), but they lack both the emotional maturity and -- at least as importantly -- the social standing to properly deal with their situations. Instead of offering help, though, society objectifies them for entertainment. A lot of this you would lose if you aged up the characters.

the fact they wanna die is fine

What, you weren't suicidal when you were 10?

What, you weren't suicidal when you were 10?

I don't remember as it's been awhile, but yeah I was posting the reaction image in regards to the "is fine" part

I know what you meant in context of the conversation, you were saying it's something that can happen, but I went woah wait a minute, there's nothing fine about that lol

Sakasana not putting children into fucked up scenarios challenge level: impossible
