There's a new webtoon out called Zombie Fight by this same author! Since the author has two similar associated names (?) that webtoon is under the other one. idk who set it up maybe i could change it so the webtoon can be under same name as this and get more recognition but not sure I'm in the place to do so.
okay with this afterword everything makes sense now. Author wrote a slice of life about a bittersweet love triangle [without disclosing Toma's crush] but editors wanted it to be Taichi and the author only touched up few chapters so this unexpected ending is understandable.
for those who were upset about the lack of representation, lgbt term was beginning to get across at the time which author was unaware of what it is at that time. Like others I also wanted more Toma and Taichi but in the end, this is only written with the intention to be about characters choices and values not to represent other things.
ahh i read it back and it was meant to be taichi but not revealed, I skipped the tiny written part and missed "already is." ig author only wanted to focus on character development instead of romance. my statement still stands that editors saying it can be revealed and author making few changes to the original idea and not so much on Toma x Taichi though
last chapter notes talk about author's social media, anyone know what it is?
Also, any news on volume 2?

forgot to answer your second question but as per the pinned tweet, the 2nd album was released May 14 this year so not too long ago (a month isn't a lot of time to wait for updates since it isn't a weekly manga and it's unreasonable to expect the scanlation group to start working on it right away). Please be patient for updates!
good read! honestly deserves more. ppl are missing out on this!
only downside was that it ended too soon and more development would've been great. It's also on toomics
