Wasn't it CRAZY how Nitta Youka lost the ability to draw just after volume 5 of Haru wo Daite Ita Alive? Like it just happened one day, she had to be hospitalized and everything. Now all her works are on permanent hiatus.
The editor also said it was because of work and stress, like she was going mad about the ending of Haru and wanted to kill the MC wtf? Apparently she had even a sequel about AI and space or something like, wasn't this about actors?
I'm glad we at least got the hiatus instead of a weird ass ending the mangaka thought would be more sentimental instead of the happy ending they deserved for more than 17 volumes.
Since the first time I saw Phos breaking and accepting parts of others so easily I knew this was going to be a trascendental ride.
The ending was everything I could have ever asked for, but more than anything I'm glad sensei finished it the way she wanted.
Every battle, every loss, every betrayal, every shimmer of victory, I still remember every single story and personality of all the gems; And as much as I wanted a story where everyone just lived happily together at the school, this is not a shounen or shoujo and we can not expect an infinite battle-bonding-battle sequence.
Not gonna lie, there are things I wanted to see (I think we all wanted more gems shenanigans and drama), yet not once did I feel dissatisfied with a chapter.
Sensei's style is something that captivates in one chapter and in all these years it got more and more detailed and beautiful, each panel was a delight.
It was truly a magnificent story
Ichikawa Haruko-sensei, you are the most lustrous.
