maybe this ended so abruptly because he wanted to go back to his true calling: drawing porn of child characters

considering that the manga has been screaming (hiatuses aside) toward this endpoint ever since jun had his tree-based enlightenment i don't know why anyone is calling this abrupt

Mana clearly isn't hugging back so despite the sound effect it's not a hug.

Nah sorry by the previously established Namtab Hug Laws, a one armed hug is not a hug. If you admit that that is a hug, then Carol has been hugged.

The difference between this and the previous one armed incident is that the one with carol in did not have a big sound effect in the background. Context is everything and the context in this case is clearly a hug. However i dont know what manga that panel is taken from, and as such there may be further evidence that can be presented in future to make me change my mind vis a vis this being a picture of a hug whereas the one with carol was not.

I mean we can all see the big word "hug" there that makes this a hug right?

There was a small sub plot about how to properly hug so it probably is

I feel like any romance manga that runs long enough and had the climax be the couple getting together is going to end badly. They should've kissed a long time ago and had dating antics.

To be honest I always figured the plot was just an excuse to make jokes and draw silly faces. The comparisons to Garfield earlier in the thread aren’t really far off, Tomo-chan was always more interested in putting a joke in almost every comic than it was in the larger story. I think that’s why it ended so slowly; it’s not like there was a grand arc to follow, the author simply ran out of jokes and wanted to do something else.
