The Magic of Sweets is Everlasting!


Finally, after working on this series since mid 2013, Sweet Magic Syndrome comes to an end with chapters 36, 37 and 38. This has been a long time coming after the extensive breaks between when the volumes were released, but we're glad that we were able to see the series all the way to the end. Whether you're going to be satisfied with the ending is another matter, though, since it appears the series either got axed, or Cuteg simply wanted to stop working on it, but for what it's worth, the series ends where it ends. A humorous 2-page bonus manga about Cuteg is also included, as well as an afterword.

It may not seem like it if you've never been involved with scanlating, but 4-koma are surprisingly time consuming to work on, which could be one reason why no one picked up SMS even close to a year after the first volume was released (that was September 2012, and we didn't start working on it until July 2013), or why even a series like Koufuku Graffiti still hasn't been picked up despite it getting an anime and being around for about as long as SMS (and no, we do not plan on picking up Koufuku Graffiti).

In the end, we had fun working on both of Cuteg's two original works, SMS and Zenryoku Otome, and we hope to see more from her in the future if she decides to do another original manga. So please enjoy the end of this cute little series as we finish our second series of 2015.

  3. I'd be lying if I said I didn't cry on the inside

    This series has grown on me, I would always get excited whenever a new chapter came out. Everything in SMS was just so charming and sweet, it feels really sad to see this one end. I really, really loved this one, and thank you everyone who worked on this, and seeing it through, it really means a lot.
