Well, today I purchased the final volume of Furuba in English. It's very surreal to me to be sure. The review I wrote on my GoodReads profile I think sums it up nicely:
The final volume. The end has come, and a bittersweet one it is.
My fondness for this series goes beyond just the art and story itself (although I love both), but for the wonderful friendships I made due to it. Friends I still have to this day.
Even though it's been over for awhile over in Japan, I always had the English volumes to look forward to. No more.
Needless to say, I almost cried when picking it up at the bookstore. I doubt I'll ever find another series that has the same impact this one had.
Thank you, Takaya-sensei.
This weekend looks to be small. That's fine. I'm not someone who needs to be on the go all the time. I'm more of a homebody anyway. Mom and I are probably gonna mix up a few drinks and watch a movie and kick back. Sounds like a fun time to me.

Yes.

Yes, again. I honestly don't think I've ever loved a series (manga, anime, books, television, movies) as much as I love Furuba. Or that I ever will again. That sounds silly, but that's how I feel.
I read it a week ago, and I'm still too emotional to get my thoughts together enough to post about it. I want to do a re-read of the whole series now!

I hope they translate the second fanbook. I know there's some really nice extras in it. I thik I have the Japanese version, but it has a lot of text in it that I can't read... TT_TT
I feel the same way...
