That’s a wrap. I can’t help but feel let down by this ending. Unfortunately it is not the first and definitely won’t be the last series that is unceremoniously rushed to an unsatisfying ending.
Huge thanks to the translation team and how they went above and beyond illustrating and explaining the sign language.
I still can’t help but think that a lot of what happened in the last few chapters was petulant - that the mangaka had been pressured to add more pointless drama and tedious tropes, or resented the relative success of series that rely on pointless drama and tedious tropes, or something like that, so they spitefully just started throwing all sorts of idiocy in the last few chapters - arranged marriage, forced confession, UMAs, truck-kun and now a timeskip.
It’s not just that all of those things suddenly started appearing in a manga that had been notably thoughtful and slow-paced, but that they all ended up being irrelevant. It really feels like they were wedged in there for no reason other than to wedge them in there. The arranged marriage instantly fell apart with no drama, the forced confession accomplished nothing, the UMAs remained vague and inconsequential, truck-kun did nothing and even the timeskip accomplished nothing.
Yeah, it is a shame. I hope whatever the author does next is something that lets them tell the story they want.
This is completely unrelated, but I just realized that the title drop sign that ends the chapter is what Hiiragi is doing on the volume 4 cover. When I first saw the artwork, I thought it was just her brushing back her hair or something. I didn’t really put it together until I saw the gif made by the redrawer on page 11.

Wasted series in its entirety. I kinda wish I never started, because the ending so badly ruined it.

Ah well… it was good for quite a while…
