So now there’s a chance that he’ll be staying with his suddenly reappearing paternal grandad? Seems mighty convenient idk. I was really hoping the previous arc would confirm they’ll keep traveling together.
Is this the end of Smith’s arc? God it’s so bittersweet! His little party really grew on me and I’m so glad they’re safely moving on, but just like that it’s onto the next ‘bride’ maybe. The plot kinda played with that visiting Amir teaser, was hoping they’d appear again...
How realistic is it...
Next chapter is where the shit starts hitting the fan isn’t it? Was nice to see everyone smiling for once though. If only it wasn’t raising a ton of death flags. Thanks for the chapter!
Kaoru Mori doesn’t usually do tragedy in her manga, but yeah genuinely thought she’d dip her toes in it for this chapter.
Was Smith’s original plan to go back to Amira and fam? Would they even be there if the war has reached that far...
This has last arc written all over it!! Hope it doesn’t end so soon... also if he’s in his original world now, where’s the ‘other’ Hirota? The one who originated in the world with flows.
Edit: well the manga ends next release in Dec 2020. Rip :(...
He probably got a sports injury. Hope they bring back the focus on food after this arc. They don't even show her cooking now lol, it's all already prepared.
That escalated quickly yikes. I don’t think he’ll be in danger, the author can’t do that to Shiro... no tragedy in this wholesome manga please :(
Can’t see gran changing her mind, she’s been stewing for ages. Would love if she did though...
Worst feeling of all time for any creative tbh. She’s been flying high with jobs too, so that must have stung more rip. Lady Irene is also so mysterious, what’s she up to?
Thanks for the chapter!
I thought that new year/comiket chapter had some development. Anyway, it has been slice of life gag since the start, like Monthly Nozaki-kun. That’s why the pacing is slower. Maybe they’ll focus on the relationship more after the . Like it’ll kickstart more feelings.
Thanks for the chapter!
Even the running scenes were detailed af with the grass and stuff, Kaoru Mori knows no chill. If she ever does a proper battle manga, it’ll probably update annually but look so good.
@Kaarme I’d say Suu-chan will probably pay it back faster than the other maiko that debuted the same time. After maiko is geiko, the debt still carries on. But if she stays in demand, sh can start making coin after a few years. For now she’s still only 16, she hasn’t even changed her hair yet...
@Kaarme Apart from living expenses and tuition, maiko are also using the manor’s kimono, and hairstyling too. The manor also handles bookings with the teahouses. So all that client money goes back to the manor and the teahouse.
The maiko get an allowance until they build up enough connections...
He looks alert for once. Dude normally looked blazed af. At least he isn’t so one dimensional anymore. I still dk how they’ll work on this love triangle though, they only meet like once a year.
Just realized he’s never known his mother’s face, because photos aren’t a common thing in the era. So people tell him he looks like his mom, but all he’s got is his imagination and baby memories... damn ninja cutting onions 😭😭😭
