AAAAAAAAAAA NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Damn, just like that huh? I've been reading this for quite some years. I remember when it was real raunchy. A shame it ended so abruptly. I feel like we spent an awful lot of issues on couples I didn't really care about, but at least Ai x Chie are steady.

Like the Romans their empire may have crumbled but they will live on in everything they touched (and made gay)

Must’ve been the longest running yuri in… ever, right?

Damn, cant believe im moving this to my 'Read' list.... Gonna need to revisit it soon all over again. Thanks Kishi sensei and Chads for bringing us years of teasing, yearning, and laughter.

Thought we’d get at least one more Haruka/Kanae or Nononon/Yumimi chapter but alas, twas not meant to be. I’ll get to drawing fanart and posting them somewhere to heal the pain, though the emptiness shall never be filled…

Pls and ty. Might learn how to draw just to keep them alive

Miyoshi X Ayano was what make me engaged to this series. Happy to see them on last chapter ^^

15 years is certainly a long time.
Just going by time Murcielago is close, started in 2013 and is still going so it very well might overtake it. And Yuru Yuri did start 2 years before this in 2008 so, while not as explicit, that one's older.

I’ve been wanting another Ai and Chie chapter for so long. I guess they just despawned or something

Just like that... Yikes
All the teasing and shipping

I'm... really not happy about this ending. But I think 99% of us share this feeling, so there's nothing else to say.

We'll miss you, Otome o7

So it's over now. I kind of agree with everyone else here in that it feels like the Honoka nad Elisha closure feels like the real ending. I guess we'll just have to write MaskxKaoru and NononxYumimi fanfic to fil lthe hole.
Goodbye to the Empire, may its ruins produce ever more yuri.

Seems a waste to drop so many threads with this but really enjoyed it over the years.

Also the Chads have done the best job translating this and adding funny end pages for so long. Top tier!

It came back in full circle. Ending in a similar way it started. What a journey :)

That wasn't a “normal” ending... it was disappointingly bad. With so many loose ends and couples left behind, the whole series somehow becomes a completely pointless waste of time for me... meh... just another new author for my personal blacklist....

i remember reading this since middle school, it even motivated me to learn english, that was about 10 years from now, times flies so fast! thanks to the translators for so many years of uploading this manga <3

ngl i hate it ending like this. honestly i could understand ayano/miyoshi ending like that, it kind of works for them but fuck, no other pair got any closure except eli/honoka and a few others that were basically wrapped up ages ago

still deeply appreciate the series tho, i loved it for years and years. i don't normally go for ecchi because it usually feels very silly, but this more restrained, realist style of it really captured me. and the art was beautiful especially after the big improvement in the first few

i stopped reading this years ago, but i'm glad mio/shizuka ended up together and had such a sweet romance while i was gone. they were my favs and iirc i stopped reading because of some drama with them midway. i'm satisfied!

It ended…. IT ENDED!??

It feels really weird seeing all these old series ending. Not just this one but also Hayate x Blade took me by a really big surprise. Now I’m all grown up… (supervise ur kids people)

with hayate its been done for years tbf, just someone actually picked it again and it's sequel, also no, kids should see yuri

I think there might be hope that Kishi might give us some nice treats with fanart in the future, maybe something a bit more explicit on pixiv or something. But I agree with everyone with the dissatisfaction of not seeing closure for specific couples. It might not be a nicely-written ending, but I would appreciate to at least see Haruka and Kanae kissing

Bummer, but we've still got so many precious memories. And this is a wonderful full circle moment. Virgins' Empire started with Miyoshi complaining about the heat, and she's back in the heat after 15 Lovely Years.

"I don't know if it will be one chapter or twenty" and it was one chapter and only this. It was pretty clear Kishi was running out of steam for some time on the series but I'm still disappointed that this was the end.

Thank you for translating this series.

Most of the couples were slice of Life stories with no real story arc to close. If I remember correctly, only 2 couples had significant drama, and those stories had a conclusion.

So I can understand not including the other couples in the final chapter and instead going full circle. But that doesn't mean I'm not disappointed withthis ending.

Personally, I'd would of been happy if it had also just shown the other girls in the background, doing their usual stuff. At least include them.

But oh well, I still love this series, and I'll keep including it in every survey hoping someday it'll be licensed in English.

How disappointing. It would have been better if, instead of the mini chapters, we have had endings. If feel when that started, it was the start of the ending. At least something. I don't know, not like, a lot of elaborated chapters, but at least one for couple. I have read this for so many years, and it feels like nothing. So sad. I understand that we have so many good chapters, but knowing they will have no end, I don't know...
