@kurisu Don't take it personally. I don't even know you, lol. Blame the bias of groups gobbling up projects only to kill them, like some kind scanlation EA.
Thanks for all the hard work so far hachirumi scans @forcy understandable decision to drop this and hope you keep on doing well.
Also Rock is venting (understandably) about groups that try to run a monopoly on a series, which is kinda ridiculous considering the fact that no one has a morale ground here. Either you release your hard work out into the world or you don't, the problem is the other groups might try to snipe in order to demoralise the other scanlators from putting in the effort or the "main" group can just release sth and be like "we were here all along, you can save your efforts now".
Became since its past tense. More likely because its the narrator who described them as an idiot couple and not any other character that is present on the scene.
