that the marriage bomb was meant as a “soft reset” to step over the whole mess with misunderstandings and lack of communications.

Absolutely

Maybe author will go back to wrap it up eventually but I’m won’t be holding my breath on that.

I hope not tbh, that entire thing was a mess and I wasn’t very invested in it because of that.

I do hope the mangaka can get things going again though, not as convoluted this time.

Ending the entire thing would be better though, but I get that the mangaka might not want that now that’s probably a pretty stable source of income. That’s the both the up- and downside of serialization I suppose.
