As I was already kinda expecting, axed.
What a shame.

Do you know that? It didn’t seem very rushed to me

Every time a series ends, someone will come and say that regardless of how well the ending is done.

I'm normally not one to jump to this conclusion that quick, but Manga Time Kirara axes series pretty frequently and with the amount of things that were only briefly touched upon or even left unresolved it's quite obvious that the author had a lot more ideas for the story.

Was Shiorin always into yaoi or was it some recent development?

It's been mentioned a few times, ch7 where she visits the BL section of a store, ch10 where she's talking to another girl in the BL section and ch11 when the boy visits the station.

Those looked like very specific characters, another series from the same author maybe?

Yes, they are from another series by Studio Headline called Owaru Sekai no Shuugakuryokou.

The real Door of Truth was the girlfriend we made along the way.

I love the wedding dress with the witch hat so much, it's gorgeous.

I am slightly disturbed that most SFX wasn't typeset, but mysteriously, "GUBCHOA" was.

The original SFX was in the way.

If you want more deranged one-shots with plot twists like this one, check out Holiday Yasumi's other shorts on MangaDex (or reddit).
They're not yuri but they are hilarious.

Hehehe.
For those unaware, Sefure is short for Sex Furendo, AKA friends with benefits.

Also this is a 3-chapter guest series in Manga Time Kirara, not a full serialization (though there is a chance of a serialization if it's received well).

Are you saying that in Japan, if you are gay, you don't marry but get adopted?

It is an option some people opt for, but it's a rather permanent thing that cannot be undone, so it's not a great idea.

Though I've heard least Tokyo as of last month now acknowledges gay couples with a...certificate of being a couple or something? Apologies I'm probably remembering the exact details wrong. Basically there's progress, but definitely a lot of work to be done still.

There are some prefectures that offer some sort of certificate, which aren't recognized legally as marriage certificates, but still provide some similar benefits such as visiting rights when hospitalized.

It always baffles me when countries don't allow for same sex couples to adopt. There's so many kids out there that need loving parents and a good home.

It mainly has to do how marriage works in Japan and how slow they are with changing the system. For marriage the woman has to be registered into the man's family register which is why same-sex couples cannot do that right now. Single mothers are generally looked down upon, and up until not too long ago children born out of wedlock did not have the same rights as "regular" kids when it would come to things such as inheritance.

Japan's adoption system is pretty bad anyway, only around 15% of orphans in childcare institutions actually get adopted (compared to something like 70+% of the UK and the US). Additionally, most adoptions in Japan are adult men getting adopted into families so the family can keep their family name and company through their adopted heir. Ironically this also allows same-sex couples to become recognized as family by adopting the other.

^Some people are too up tight about that stuff- i dont generally disagree but a joke manga isnt a place to care about imo.
especially when its mostly from kids.

The thing about kids people mention 'what about adoption' did stand out as troublesome to me tho. I dont know how its percieved in Japan but it was like the option never occured to the mangaka- like having kids was totally out for 2 girls when they have plenty of options.

Japan only allows a couple to adopt a child if they are married, and same-sex couples cannot get married in Japan.
But even then, Japan has a very low adoption rate of children.

oop seems i have forgotten the specifics of where this one left off last time... might reread it but brain hurty from like current reading list already

Honestly this manga loves jumping forward in the timeline and most of the chapters have very little to do with each other.

Not sure if the scanlators even read this, but on this page on the next-to-last panel it should say "REHM! SIC 'EM!" Very easy mistake to make since it's not a common word.

Yes, editor here, I read these, thank you for pointing that one out, completely missed it (sorry dpf).

so like not that I'm complaining about the new chapters they're very cute but are you sure they're meant to be parts of chapter 3? Like there sure is already a chapter 3 so are these uploads really supposed to be positioned there?

That's where they are in the Tankoubon, because they're not in the serialization. We're only leaving them like this so the chapter count isn't completely messed up as Volume 1 puts chapter 10 (last chapter in the tank) after 11-13.

Anyway Chikage is best rock-dork.

Hey...
Have you read the credits? Have you paid attention to the text in the top right corner?

Now I'm wondering which commenter in this forum is the addressee of that tirade, lol. Poor kiddo.

It's just an edited version of the Navy Seals copypasta and is merely a joke.

The Isekai Light Novel-esque chapter title definitely got a hearty laugh out of me.

Though these thoughts are all just post series sadness more than anything else. I've been with this series it for over 5 years now so I've of course accumulated a lot of thoughts. So the ending being quite basic is just a bit "ehh. I think it could've been different.

I feel like if it went on for too long it would've gotten stale. Having a story-driven slice of life series is really hard when there's no developments happening (Looking at you, New Game).
While I also would like to have a bit more, I prefer a shorter, dense story over one that gets boring when it goes on for too long.

Wonder how it would've gone if it wasn't axed though. Probably the same with more stuff in between but we'll never know.

I don't know why people think that it was axed, the series just ended.
