It's still ongoing, and goes all the way through to the two girls preparing for the crimson goddess play, but the translations pretty much stalled at where the author left for a hiatus.
G-Maru Edition was also pretty funny in the sense that you could think of it as a little self-aware since the MC is a girl who wants to become a shoujo mangaka but is stuck drawing smut. But since Kawashita started out as an yaoi artist the parallels might not be what they appear to be.
Tragic victim of fan death.
I've read (or at least tried to read) far too much shoujo manga, but the only ones that've had any real impact on me are the more, uh, unorthodox manga such as Screaming Lessons, Kousha no Ura ni wa Tenshi ga Umerarete Iru and Gin'iro no Kami no Arisa. I've tried, but I just can't stomach generic shoujo romance, a genre which seems to be about as creatively bankrupt as shounen harem (and without the sweetener of waifus).
Cough. Sturgeon's Law.
That's true. I'm just a little frustrated because it's hard to stomach that type of romance again and again. With shitty shonen manga, I can at least be distracted by the action scenes and setting, which is frequently different unlike the typical shojo high school setting.
Sorry but you must go away, i'm the original pumpkin here.
