I kinda feel like this is a waste of good characters to just let the series end. There was a lot of potential with the current cast which obviously won't be fulfilled now.
Wtf why would the author do this? This is such a weird change of pace. Even if it's cause the manga got axed, I don't think killing off the characters is a good idea.
People saying that "it got axed" don't know how to read huh? It has been commented like 3 times in this chapter already, the magazine died not the manga. The author could've moved the series to other magazine but choose to end it instead for whatever reason, which is a shame because Torako is dang adorable.
