in February, the author said there's currently no plans to continue this series, but also:
"Sorry for keeping you waiting for the continuation of KOIMONOGATARI for so long. I will definitely complete the story." (@taguratohru on twitter)
so there's still a possibility that one day, they'll come back to this :,))
found the author's twitter and in 2022 they said it was wrongly categorized as BL and for the time being they're not writing it as BL so readers can "read it as they like"
the last volume released a week ago and i found a tweet from a buyer saying they "like a style that doesn't force it into BL"
couldn't find any info other than that but that seems like enough to say it didn't end up having romance :(
(pls keep in mind tho that this is all from google translated japanese tweets!)
i tried to read this bc i love chumg but jesus christ my brain's melting WHYYY is the author acting like homophobia in BL is revolutionary? like that hasn't been reality until the 21st century and still is in most countries? and there's tons of BL that address this, and do it WELL??
it's so fucking weird that like the big drama seems to be that the ML doesn't think gay people can love and not that he's.....a cop going around arresting gay people......... does the author live in an alternate universe where homophobia doesn't exist? how do i get there
homophobic theatre kid is CRAZY like that's your cousin
LMFAOO
LMAOOOOAOAOAOAOAO I think he's just in denial
