Until chapter 34, this story's author was Wangcaideju and the script was by Atias, but after that it says it's by Wangcaideju. There's no mention of Atias. And it's also right after the hiatus... I think the script writer dropped this project... and Wangcaideju is now doing it on their own... and I guess that's why there was this sudden flashback in chapter 35... and we suddenly get introduced to a new character...
Though I might be wrong, but if that's actually the case... ╥﹏╥
Am I the only one who expected Mafuyu's song in the anime episode 9 to be more emotional? Somehow that moment when he sings was better portrayed in the manga than in the anime. Even though there was no music in the manga, you could "see" the emotions.
I mean, in the anime, the lyrics are touching and bittersweet, but the emotion in the singing, I feel that it was off, or then the song was too much of a rock song that it was difficult to sing "emotionally".
But I especially liked the instrumental version of Mafuyu's humming that played near the end of the episode during the beach scene with Yuuki. I feel like if they would have made a "softer" song like that, it might have been more expressive, or "easier to relate to". But sadly, somehow, after watching the anime and hearing Mafuyu's singing... the manga doesn't feel as intense and emotional anymore, because the anime's songs are ingrained into my mind. But this is just my opinion. If you could relate to Mafuyu's singing in the anime, good for you. I unfortunately couldn't ╥﹏╥
Really o.o? I thought the emotions were being expressed quite well when he sang in the anime. I felt like I could feel the anguish and sadness. I feel like he wouldn't be able to express it unless the song was rock. Heck I even had the song in repeat XD and went back to the part in the manga where the song begins, it overlaps pretty well. just needs to be a bit more louder is what I thought or faster.
Oh? I felt his emotions. I felt it so badly that I watched it with teary eyes!! It was... so sad. He was sad, even his voice was cracking (I heard it at the beginning of the song). In my opinion this song came out way better in rock version than if it would be in some softer kind of music. Even Mafuyu said (to himself) he can't cry and it hurts so bad that he want to scream. I was hoping while watching that this type, this genre of music eventually could help him to express his pain. Maybe in some part: to get free from this hell, even for a moment.
I think the rock version was the smartest move the producers could’ve done. I actually don’t think this scene would have worked well with a sad and slow tempo song. The anime’s rock version fits extremely well. He’s not there to sing a love song or a song of regrets and sorrow. He’s there to MOVE ON.
The screaming quality and the fast pace of the song made it seem even MORE raw and tear-jerking. The emotions shot through the roof for me. This song can’t be pretty. It can’t be soft and mellow. It can’t be emotionally sad. It has to be about breaking free and screaming all the words he never could out of him to move on. I personally thought the anime song was a hundred times better than whatever they originally had on the drama CD. I cried a bucket listening to it.
I’m sorry it wasn’t the same for you.




Come on, this was just a good read only for it to have AI backgrounds
I cry T-T
What AI?
i believe the backgrounds are made from a 3d program called sketchup
The Athletes' Village background before the title in the latest chapter (32) has AI traces if you zoom in, the details start blurring together
Don't know anything about the program itself but you can see AI traces in the one background
Just looks like a blue sky to me with clouds,.are you talking about the clouds or the shine of the sun??? Cus that feels like a stretch
Yall need to rethink. Not everything is AI. The author even posted on twitter that she used the real-life pics that she took in Chapter 32
I see the picture:

She must have used some sort of filter or effect that made it look like Ai, this background in particular:

It might not be Ai generated, but it might be Ai edited based on the way the details get merged into one another
Look closely at this one: https://www.mangago.me/read-manga/the_melting_season/uu/br_chapter-414832/pg-25/
Yes, that is the image I was referencing, once again, it looks like any basic background you'd see in a comic like 19 Days. I do see what youre talking about like the Olympic rings smudging, but I honestly think thats their use of atmospheric perspective, or whatever its called when you draw less detail to depict distance. This is way more evidence than the other person making the claim, so I thank you for that though, however I still don't think it's substancial enough when thats a legitimate art technique.
I'll look more into it though
