Itazura na Kiss: Manga Summaries

I'm putting this little section to let people know the truth about the rumoured Volume 24.

Some people have mentioned that Volume 24 is already out in Japan and it was done by Miss Tada's assistants. It is not true. 

I've searched through my local stores as well as online stores that has got reliable manga stock and I've never found it.

At this point, some of you might think, "Who does she think she is to say something does not exist just because she could not find it?"

Here is further proof that those rumours are just rumours.

Jackie, who first informed me about the possibility of the continuation found Miss Tada's official website during one of the her searches. She emailed the webmaster and asked about the continuation of the manga. This is the reply that Jackie got and had kindly forwarded to me:

Thank you for your kindly message.

(I'm not good at English Language, sorry...)
It is not true that Ms Tada's assistants are going to help her comics.
Her assistants are active in another comic or illustration each other.
But I feel happy that many people have been loving her comics 
not only in Japan but also in so many countries.
She has gone to Heaven, but her comics are still alive in this world.
Plenty of people make her comics alive.
Please keep on loving her comics and charactors.
Thanks Very Very Very Much......


Best Regards

I'm not putting this up to upset the hopeful fans but more to let them know the truth.

Frankly, I believe that we should let the matter of the unfinished ending as it is no matter how much we want to know the ending. We ought to show respect for the late Miss Tada by appreciating and supporting the manga no matter what. ^_^
