First of all, Thank you! Thank you! Thank you for the chapter. =)
About the discussion on the "open-endedness" of the story, I don’t really feel it is as open as everybody is complaining about. I will leave my line of reasoning below:
If you go back to Ch03, pg 95, last panel reads:
Natsuki– “Why?”
Natsuki – “Did you change your mind?”
Then Ch03, pg 102, last two panels read:
Natsuki – “Since I had thought you wouldn’t write any more for me,”
Natsuki–"That it just couldn’t happen.”
Next Ch03, pg 103 first panel reads:
Hikawa –“That’s because… I didn’t hate it”
And finally, in the second panel of the same page you can see Natsuki’s surprised face.
In conclusion that to me is proof enough to know where things are going. And if you added to the events of Ch04 then it is pretty clear they are together. Also, and this is just from personal experience, but people who write tend to be shy and not very proficient in putting into SPOKEN words what they feel. So, the fact that Hikawa did not reply to Natsuki’s “I love you” is not that big of a deal for me, as I see it her actions carry more weight (i.e. continue to write and show her writing to Natsuki, went looking for her on their field trip, oh yeah… and the sex… can’t forget that bit)
And on the subject of the typos… well… I am dyslexic and 90% of the time I don’t notice those little details. So keep up the good work and thanks again =)
