We'll do two recipes to make this next volume's comics work out right.

ChaCha Chako: The end!

As I said at the start, it ends quickly, but at least it does end, and more or less satisfactorily, in a Q-Rais kind of way.
There were also these two coda comics in the "main line" Chako comic:

But that's it for Chako and ChaCha! I'll share a short quarantine comic Q-Rais did next, then get into the very excellent Monya the Gray, another long-form narrative comic.

Night Visitors

Fortunately, this pun works equally well in Japanese and English.

I figure these are basically an excuse for the artist to take however long sorta-off while also being a Little Women nerd, but I'd rather have her take actual time off and have however long of reruns instead of..."it's just Little Women but the Rae the Doe cast is saying the dialogue"? What is this and why is this? (I know she did this a year or two ago too but it's going to get annoying if it turns into a yearly thing)

See it's HER FAULT for dressing like a SLUT instead of being a GOOD GIRL who COVERS HER BODY IN SHAME. Tell the menfolk to control themselves? Well, boys will be boys.

(yes I'm aware this is intended to be a wildly inappropriate outfit for school, but also it's pretty gross to spend a strip going "well if men ogle her it's HER FAULT and she has NO RIGHT TO COMPLAIN")
