Ooo really into this manga
Cant wait for more!

Ah, its always good when something gets licensed for an official English release, a bit bittersweet tho.

Woweee! Oh my!

... just wondered what was going on with the series. Main couple is fun, but that manga has some serious 'balance' weirdness going on (that edgelord relative, the outrageous threats against the boyfriend in the beginning by the family etc.)

Best Mom of the Year Award goes to?..

...But why would they license an English translation of a manga that was (unfortunately) axed?

Happen all the time. Scarlet was brutally axed at 2 volumes but still got picked up. Being cut short improves the chance to be licensed for a niche series imo. Less commitment and reduce diminishing return.

Interesting, though (to be accurate) going by the comments it wasn't axed, but discontinued/ended by the author. Before anyone starts yelling about the evils of the axe again ;)

This is how I find out it was both licensed by shit ass Tokyopop AND cancelled?? Noooo this is a fate worse than death

Edit: or it just looks like the author finished the story in vol3 I guess? That's not bad.

I assume as well that if a series has been axed due to low sales or whatever reason, the licensor can more easily negotiate favourable terms on their end (e.g. larger slice of the revenue, lower licensing costs, that sort of thing)

I have a feeling this story would be crazier from Chihaya's perspective. Like Hodaka's perspective is strange because he takes it all in stride, but I only now started to think about what might be brewing in Chihaya's head. Since Hodaka is taking to this so well, she probably feels less guilty and less like a victim of a horrible curse than she used to, but those hangups must still be around and combined with her worries about their future she must be keeping a lot of feelings bottled up.

And, okay fine, I'm also thinking about all the inappropriate thoughts that she keeps quiet about. Such as "woah, this is kind of like if I was cheating on my boyfriend with his hot twin sister"

I like how Tsubakida's girl form is really different from his boy form. The height changes a lot. It's a funny contrast from Hodoka, who basically stays the same height when transformed.
