I've never been early enough to witness the glorious 'tag me mummy' tag

Did get a lot of Girl's last tour vibes, so the afterwords make sense.
Homura's story is very tragic, honestly this doesn't feel like an exaggeration of how someone might react. Very brutal to see someone you love die while feeling you could change it if you were stronger.

Tuna gf and Sashimi prefect

I always appreciate well-drawn hands. Also, are the hands literally blushing? Like just a bit under the wrists

Surprisingly wholesome beneath the surface, just like the underbelly of a hedgehog

Commenting to remind myself that this is definitely one of the stories of all time

Finally. Ricardo Milos yuri.

The real toxic relationship in Kodama Naoko's works is between the author and the reader

Yutaka's face at page 04, bottom right panel, is amazing.

For real though, why is the title 'Macaroni Days'?

Cute art

This is the last place I would ever expect to see a mention of the Tree of Life.

Wow this was way heavier than I was prepared for

Very interesting decision to rarely show the awful parents explicitly even though they are the main force behind the events of the story. Creates a very oppresive atmosphere because the problems are not ultimately the girls' yet they have to deal with the consequences.

Not a fan of all the stuff surrounding Hinata's family but the main relationship is very nice so I'll stick with this

A Temp comment for just 4 pages, that's quite the record

Wholesome second half

Is Bloom smiling?

Feels like we're approaching the endgame

The last page quite literally says the next one is the finale, yes.

Oh I never read these messages on the side, thanks. Excited to see how it will end.

Feels like we're approaching the endgame since Shijima is opening herself more to other people. I guess her whole arc is a deep desire to connect but being utterly confused as to how to do it and being afraid of what it entails. Total isolation from others and the breakdown of boundaries seem to be the 2 extremes that this story has oscillated between, but now Shijima seeks connection on her own terms, rather than being forced to do so because of various conditions in the world or other people.

You have to respect the sheer commitment at this point

If this author manages to do a collab with Dowman Sayman it's literally over for this timeline

Based. I had the same opinion with Octave but I don't think there is anything specifically wrong with the ending - the main points about a transient love and our main character being honest with herself were conveyed well I think, no reason to really drag out the story.
I expected this story to be way more messy considering how Octave went, but it's nice that there was actual communication this time.
Again with Octave, there is something very real and important (wish I had better terms) about this story that made me glad I read it. I wouldn't say it's to the point of being a masterpiece but it's in the direction of being one, simply because the author knows what they want to write and just sticks with it.

This is great but there are also too many characters for my taste and it really drags the story - which is nice in its own way, just not the pace I tend to prefer.

The cycle of reincarnations has been broken but I don't know how long the series will last after this

I feel like the author will find another way to justify just how dense Hina is, but I'm not sure how
