the line "foolish Ellery" always strikes me painfully. He desperately wanted to trust his friends until the end ㅠㅠ.
Given I have wasted my time on this, it could at least have an ending?! You can't even call this an open ending. Bigger disappointment than other trashy works of the same kind, because this had a potential but ultimately served nothing.
To everyone wandering about the state this manga is in.
I follow Katsura Komachi on Twitter and she's the sweetest person. Unfortunately she mentioned that she was and still is struggling a lot with depression and had a huge author's block. She also has financial issues so she does not focus just on writing her manga.
In April, she started writing a manuscript for the next chapter we are getting. I think it is safe to assume, that the chapter will get published at the end of the year (it's my prediction, don't take it as a fact). After that, the 2nd volume of this manga will get released!
I hope that releasing the next chapter gives her confidence boost. So please be patient and supportive of Komachi-sensei.
Thank you for the info!
Thank you for the update, I really hope she cheers up. Her chapters take time but the quality is here so it's worth it. Hope fans are letting her know that (because of the internet [and capitalism senpai] we've really become impatient).
Thanks for the info
Do you know what the fate of her La vie en Rose series is rn?
Yes, in fact I do. On the new year's day this year Komachi sensei posted an art of the two main characters with a text that google-translated as "my goal for 2025 is to return to drawing La vie en Rose. Please wait for Nagato and Ai."
This however does not 100% mean the manga will return in 2025. When we heard of Katsura working on Juliet wo Ute again it took about 10months before we got a new chapter.
But she hasn't forgotten about it!
It's kinda sad that she is one of popular bl author and her manga always trending but still struggle with finance...
I think it's the general state of the manga industry in Japan. I buy the raws of this manga and when I bought a chapter with a sale coupon it was only $0.60, while full price was $1.50. Which isn't much at all considering that a portion of profits goes to the publishing magazine and the editor.
little update: physical copy of volume 2 releases in Japan on August 8.
Ohh do you know website that i can buy this raw digital? I like this manga so much i want to support the author
This makes me so happy~ Of course! It all depends on your options/preferences.
All the official providers (some of which I am mentioning) are linked here on the distributor magazine site: https://honeymilk.jp/c/juliet.html
Pick Amazon if you have kindle (the file you get cannot be opened otherwise).
Honto.jp if you want downloadable pictures or reading in a browser/app. This site is hard to navigate in Japanese but it is the only one of the official sites that allows international card payment!!!! (other sites require Japanese credit card).
If you are paying with Apple pay or PayPal then the best is Cmoa.jp because it's the easiest to navigate even in Japanese, the website is pretty intuitive, and it provides the same as Honto.
For cmoa you can find easy guide how to create account on Tumblr, for Honto you need a translating tool and patience. I first used cmoa before finding out I have no payment options, now I am using Honto because of the credit card option. About the Kindle thing on Amazon, I don't know much, I don't use kindle.
Hope this helped <3
Thankyou so much, i will try figuring out first!!
Hear me out, skip the first 40 chapters, start reading from chapter 41 onwards and you are in for quite enjoyable story. You won't miss much, it's perfectly comprehensible and you will save yourself from the problematic uncomfortable part.
You can also skip further to chapters 70-80 from where onwards you are basically all striped off the main plot and it gets more focused on family and development of the two side couples.
LMAOOO!!!
I read this manwha hundreds of times so I feel you
just skip the whole manhwa bro
Nah there’s good stuff in the manwha, especially byul ( he’s what prevented me from dropping)
I mean, it's an option
meaningful chapters: 10-12, 21, 37-38, 42
The hate uke is getting is so unjustified. I almost didn't read the story because of how much people trash on the uke. But now that I have, I see it's either people who dropped the series too soon or just did not understand it's maturity who leave those comments.
Contrary to popular opinion I actually fairly like uke. He has strong resolve, he may seem weak but contrary is the truth. He could have made really stupid decisions and sleep with his boss when being made advances at, yet he didn't (and he was already broken up with his ex at that point). He has flaws, but that only shows that he is written human.
His reasons for breakup are clear and rational. The ex didn't do anything excessively wrong (though the homophobic slip up was hurtful) but it is still valid to break up over feeling hurt, insecure, or unequally loved in a relationship (regardless of what's the truth). Surely he could have communicated with his ex, but so could have the ex. Plus the ex's pov chapters also show that they were both equally responsible for how the relationship ended.
So all together I don't really understand why people hate on the uke. I am pretty confident in saying that uke gives no reasons for such enormous hate.
The only thing I wasn't a fan of was how he fell for his boss who treated him badly for the most of the time. But then, the uke was able to walk off from that relationship. And during the boss' redemption moment the uke wasn't gonna accept him back easily.
To sum it up "Everyone loves in different ways. That's why both partners need to put in effort to make their relationship work. To understand each other. Because . . . that's what makes someone truly happy" (Jeonghan, ch.50)
This manhwa is actually completed with 20 chapters. Is no one really gonna translate the remaining 8? This story is so worth it. Please
I feel like this beautiful art reached the best end it could have, I feel like the story really can continue in heaven. Q_____Q Thank you <3
I found it familiar, and surely it seems like an adaptation of the novel I coincidentally stumbled upon few days ago.

God bless you
I just binged it and holy fuck is that an insane read. I need to stick to some fluff for a while.
