Phew. Can't believe I almost forgot this... And then (thought I) forgot the name...
Holy crap. I read this years before they added more chapters and accepted that this was dead. Im so glad they continued translating this manga and it gained a bit more attention. Its a shame that slow burning and relaxing manga aren't as popular these days.
35 is the last chapter
This manga is the perfect read when you just want to relax, sad to hear that it's ending. Yet I can't help but feel excited since the authors other works hold the same high standard. Thank you Roselia scans for your work on this series and I hope you pick whatever the author does next.
Ashinano-sama really pulled it off with this series. I worried he couldn't sustain the idea. Lovely work. Can't wait to see what he'll do next!
How much of this is left?

This oneshot by Ashinano Hitoshi is also about choosing a bug-vehicule to go where you want to go,
Horseflies really hurt when they bite. So now I'm supposed to be ambivalent about swatting one? Ohhwwa.
Looked up Dreams on wikipedia and decided I needed a copy. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.
Akira Kurosawa's movie "Dreams" has an episode that is based upon a similar theme to this chapter. It depicts the spirits that inhabited a peach orchard that was cut down. (here's a youtube snippet from that scene).
. . . Would this by any chance be a country in Northern Europe? Lucky sod. Sure, annoying, but at least you end up with trees. Have you seen what huge tracts of North American suburbia are like?
I've had the opposite experience: once a tree is planted anywhere in my country, unless it's the city government Parks & Gardens civil servants, even breaking off branches will land one in hot water with the law.
My friend had to break off branches of a tree which were invading her second-story window at 1 AM so nobody would notice. She did that because ants were coming in through the branches into her apartment...
Chapter 25 - ugh! I've seen too much of that wanton destruction of beauty in my lifetime. Businessmen and politicians sure do love their asphalt.
heavy rainfall around here too
I can reread a completed series, but rereading or rewatching an ongoing series has been ruined for me ever since DBZ used to start back at Raditz every time they ran out of dubbed episodes during the Freeza arc on Toonami.
EDIT: Glad to finally see an update. That wait was killing me.
The streetlights shining from beneath the snow reminded me of the streetlights shining from beneath the water in the old sunken city.
Thanks Roselia for the chapter! Nice to see the coquetry-game between the snow and Suu-chan.
Hooray!
Thanks for the release! The snow just hit a few days ago in northern EU.
Maybe you should try rereading it. Once more.
