I’m not complaining, lol.

That’s true. I guess I was thinking of the reading as a whole and not just the end.

It’s impossible for me to buy this as an ebook without vpn, a new e-mail (they seemingly don’t accept @googlemail.com ???) or a japanese phone number. But put the name of the manga into google, I can miraculously read it for free. It’s ridiculous.

That does sound like a miracle. I’m not sure what kind of dark magic you used, but if it works out…

week 1

Ok. All three having the same rice-radical four times in their names isn’t going to confuse me at all.

It’s quite nice, if maybe a little boring (although I did vote for this specifically because it looked like a more mature slice of life story). I’m glad there seems to be a bit of drama with Yutaka’s family and all. For a moment I feared it would be going to be just cooking tips.

Chapter 4 was pretty long. I was going to read 5 later, but then I saw that it is pretty short.

Week 2

I just thought that Yutaka resembles Rei from san gatsu no lion. And then they give his backstory and it’s basically the same (both are orphans who didn’t feel entirely welcome at their foster family).

One day I’ll have to look for a manga with an orphan with a happy family life.

Week 2

I really like that these boys both have really sad back stories, but they’re made happier by having each other in their lives. Also, the last twoish pages: squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!

I mean, I don’t like that they have sad back stories, but you know what I mean :slightly_smiling_face:

Finished week 2~ I loooved chapter 4; both the kiss (finally!) and 豊’s sad flashback scene with the 種-esque drawings. I might have had to hold back a tear or two. :face_holding_back_tears: I don’t say this often, but I might have to pick up a physical copy of this book if the final week holds up.

This week was a bit longer page-count wise, it felt like; hang in there everyone!

Highly recommend it. The book is super nice and I think the mild off-white you get from paper really sings with the art. I ordered a physical copy of おかわり last week after reading the first section. I think it arrives today!

Well, I cried.

Other than that, I can’t believe 穣’s… former girlfriend? just got mad because he was focusing on 種. How about you help instead?

As far as I am concerned, that’s a cliffhanger end this week :stuck_out_tongue:

Right?!? I had to read it twice because I kinda didn’t believe that’s what she was saying. He’s better off without her, imo.

In her microscopic defense, her and Minoru are college students. I imagine finding out at that age your (supposed?) boyfriend(?) is now the primary guardian for his younger brother is a lot to take in and asks a degree of self-sacrifice/selflessness. Obviously still very messed up, but I do applaud the author for the realstic and subtle way it was handled.
