Now, that was a surprising ending.

Well done, author! A happy vanilla ending that fit with the work as a whole.

This gives Taiki a chance to reset, as caring for an emergency clears the mind and heart.

Mikumo the strategist once again succeeds, even if it is only convincing the teams about a significant strategy. When you have numeric advantage, vs power advantage, maximize mobility and strike your opponents from angles they can't see.

This is a wake-up call to Taiki.

The "who will win" question boils down to something in Kuroiwa's mind. I doubt he can be pressured by any girl to give up. He first will need to acknowledge that a desire for a girl is good, not bad, as it would be for a monk. After that he can ask, "what girl do I like?" He may decide that one putting less pressure on him is the best, or the one who seems to be a good friend. Beauty should not play into it much. That said, Mona has the lead.

Urek Mazino is not so simply taken. His control of Shinsoo is considerable.

At times like this, I sit back and ask the question for what the victory criteria are for this mahhwa. I view it as: 1) validating the initial effort that led to the marriage. 2) validating the past choices that Han Jiah made. 3) validating the choice Mincheol made. Almost all of those are with reach, so we are likely nearing the end, unless the author wants to introduce an entirely new direction.

It would be cute to see them with kids, but that doesn't fit the manhwa... it is mostly about them growing up, and accepting in full the relationship that they began for reasons other than love, which have resulted in love.

As I read this, I thought endgame as well, but there are still a lot of ways this can go. At present the plot is about all the people Han Jiah has benefited, and much of it then pointing to her relationship with Mincheol. That relationship began under a loveless pretext, but now love has room to flourish, as they have grown to appreciate each other.

So, will you give up on being a monk or not? The fog in your brain is finally clearing as to the attentions of the girls. Thus the second question: if you don't want to be a monk, which girl do you like?

Thus the difficulty while Chinatsu is at college and Taiki is at high school. This will be a key dynamic for a while.

This chapter is a huge shift. The world controlling the world.

I remember when I traded away a Bob Gibson baseball card in 1968. I didn't know it was rare.

I used to joke with my my children regarding whoever was the baby at the time as we were going through tunnels in the US, and there would be a sign "No Hazmats," that I would say check little YYY for hazmats. Usually, at our next stop, there would be hazmats. And being a good Dad, I was willing to change YYY, though usually my wife would do it. I have now changed diapers for a number of my grandchildren.

I once knew a "cat lady," and she was nuts. I'm not saying all of them are nuts, but in the US, when a cat lady dies, nothing happens for a while, until someone fears she is dead. Once they break into the house, there is a stench of urine, feces, and rotting dead cats and cat lady. The story often gets told in the local newspapers, should there be newspapers anymore.

I don't think this is ending quickly. I think this will at least go through Taiki's senior year, and maybe deal with the difficulties of keeping the relationship going with Taiki in high school and Chinatsu in college. The mortality rates of relationships go up a lot in situations like that... though recently, on Facebook, I bumped into an old acquaintance of mine who was the center of our HS basketball team. His girlfriend was a year older than him, and also very tall (was the tallest girl on the cheer squad). They've now been married for 40+ years.

Ichikawa does not want to be derided... it was good that he told him "Stop it." It's one thing to have tough exams; there should be sympathy at these times.

This is the earliest occurrence of it on the internet: https://x.com/naporitan1946/status/1106941526213484544

This guy on Reddit says it is likely the original: https://www.reddit.com/r/whatanime/comments/lgnnq7/where_is_this_from/

It seems to be just a single picture, and not part of a series.

Anyone have any idea of how long the hiatus might be?
