It was pretty much doomed from the start.

The things that I most liked about it were that the romance was notably gentle, warm and slow-paced, as Hiragi and Taiyou slowly came to recognize their own feelings, and that the romance was just one aspect of the broader focus on Hiragi coming out of her shell and making friends, and her newfound friends learning how to work around her deafness.

I'm not sure if readers necessarily prefer trainwrecks full of contrived drama (the comment sections of those manga indicate otherwise), but for whatever reason, the publishers apparently think they do. So it was pretty much guaranteed from the start that this was going to end up prematurely axed.

I wonder if what we're seeing with the last few chapters here is the mangaka basically saying, "Fuck it - you want some stupid contrived drama? Here's some stupid contrived drama."

Here's hoping Morita-sensei (the writer) gets a fresh start with another publisher. Aldehyde (the artist) has other manga on which he's working.
