Man, am I the only one that liked Throw Away the Suit Together?

I really liked it and it's one of my favorite mangas of all time and yet I haven't reread it once. While the fact that the manga got axed and thr author had to rush the story, and the ending itself was sad and depressing, I liked how real it was and didn't sugarcoat their situation and presentedba realistic outcome to their "adventure". But ehat I liked the most about the manga was that despite the ending being sad, they were still together in the end which just showed how strong it was and that they were optimistic about the prospect of finding their happiness in the future.

Escapist works are nice and it's ok that people want to read stuff to escape the hell we live in but realistic and grounded works like Throw Away the Suit Together have their place as well because not every story needs to be escapist feel-good fantasy.

The way I see Qianyi "moving on" so fast is that she didn't see A'wu as her partner anymore. In the news we learn that A'wu's parents passed away so A'wu likely didn't have anyone other than Qianyi to take care of her or willing to take care of her. Since they've been in a relationship for 7 years, Qianyi felt guilty abandoning her so she started taking care of her, not like a partner but more like a parent and since Qianyi's mother knows about it and is really not happy about A'wu still staying with her and Qianyi "playing house and mothering a grown woman". From this we can deduce that this has been going on for a while.

Qianyi likely stayed with A'wu to take care of her because she had no one else but she checked out of that relationship long ago. When Qianyi hears the news of A'wu passing away, she cries from one eye (and right one at that) which often symbolizes happiness. This could be taken as her finally feeling free and being able to move on, feeling relief that A'wu can finally rest from her sickness or both. The fact that she is moving in with the girlfriend likely means that she's been with her for some time now. The girlfriend doesn't seem to know about A'wu and idk how Qianyi could've kept her a secret but that really doesn't matter that much honestly.
