Thanks so much for your big heart! I’ve been reading this series since I was 19. I’m 38 now.
Looking at the chapter release dates, the last chapter of the official story was uploaded in August 2024. That means the final Chapter was uploaded more than a year ago. I somehow missed that update. Then after reading the chapter, I realizing it’s the last chapter, my mind just about exploded.
OHMYGOSHHHHH FR THO I WATCHED THE ANIME WHEN I WAS LIKE 15 AND I'M 21 NOW time sure flies also dw about it at all I just reread the confession scene here in the manga and BOY OH BOY DO YK IN THE ANIME MASAMUNE DOESN'T HEAR THE CONFESSION CUZ OF THE RAIN and none of the smoochies even happen vro,,, we'd been robbed
Yeah, I watched the anime and didn’t even realize that was the end. If you haven’t tried the author’s other series, Junjou Romantica, I totally recommend it.
Junjo Romantica was the authors second series. It takes place in the same world as this series. (This series was her third series) It even has cameos of the characters from this series. In fact, some of the characters from this series have larger parts in Junjou Romantica than just cameos. The ML of Junjou Romantica is a best selling novelist at Marukawa Publishing.
But I’m going to recommend you start with the anime. Let’s just say the author was still learning for chapter 1. But in the anime, it’s done fabulously. In the manga, that chapter was so dark (As in visually. There was so much shading.) It was also just so cluttered. The pacing was also kind of wonky compared to the anime. But in the anime, it flows naturally. The art is vivid. It doesn’t have that weird current art style the author’s using now.
(The author’s first work was shonen ai. It involved samurai, and was a historical genre. I’ve never read it.)

Y'ALL WHAT CHAPTER DOES THE ANIME END the ending of the anime edged us so hard. I NEEED to see my ship sailed
