to put it into perspective, i started reading this when i was in high school, and i remember wondering what it was like to work in publishing like they did. fast forward about 13 years and now i'm an editor too. (yes, the deadlines really are as brutal as they appear...). for that reason, this manga will always have a soft spot in heart as a kind of "snapshot" of my younger self. but my god, how long is it going to take for onodera to learn to communicate? here's hoping he confesses before i make senior editor at least.

they're so mature and honest with each other now and it's wonderful!!!

i've reread this more than a few times, and i still feel like i'm on the brink of tears every time. one of my favorites.

i think the story was kind of rushed after the 'reveal'. it's not a problem that they made up quickly, in fact it was very mature of them, but it just felt anti-climatic, especially with how there was still lingering awkwardness between them. i'd hoped the extras would have more fluff (nonsexual intimacy, more heartfelt conversation, idk) but it was just more sex lol. overall i enjoyed this though.

felt a little rushed. it would be great if there was at least one more chapter. also, this is kind of random, but i really love how the mangaka draws teeth.

    Yeah, I also wanted to see if he was able to have children you know? I mean he probably can’t but yeah just wanna know (づ ̄ ³ ̄)づ

the story is good, but they could have easily been childhood friends from close knit families instead...

love to see how mature they're both being, trying to understand each other's perspective.

this story is agonizing but the pain is exquisite?? i loved how complex the characters and their relationship are. it's so good i didn't even realize this is the spin-off, not the main story. thank you so much for translating.

ahh my heart. they're all good kids. somehow this reminds me a lot of my high school days too, it has that mild, bittersweet quality to it.
