Good evening!

Tonight... Stay Gold... is back! back!! back!!! (...but really yep, here's a new chapter). We'd been sorta wondering what had happened to this one: the tankobon came out in late 2014 with the ominous suffix of "Volume 1," and so we waited patiently for "Volume 2" content to appear imminently... and we continued to wait, until we'd rather forgotten about it. But skip forward to a little earlier this year, and the story makes its surprise re-appearance, in a rather unexpected place: the story had been published in Gateau (by Ichijinsha), but it's now mysteriously moved to OnBlue* (by Shodensha) -- of course there's no explanation provided for the change, so we can only guess what obscure machinations caused the story to switch not just magazines but publishers as well -- if any readers have any insight as to what might've happened here we'd be very interested to hear from them.

Anyway yeah, more Stay Gold for you all -- Volume 1 was, perhaps, not Hideyoshico's best or best-received story but, without wanting to spoil too much, this chapter seems to indicate that the manga is making a slight change in direction (and definitely a positive one, we feel) -- if you found yourself a little weary of this story when we last left it then we think you might be pleasantly surprised if you give this chapter a try, suffice to say. And if you've forgotten the fairly baroque way all the characters are connected then there's a handy relationship chart at the start of this chapter, which might perhaps be a little more painless than a re-visit of the previous ones. So let's get down to it:

Stay Gold - Chapter 7

And that's all for now!! Until we meet again~

*One obvious downside of this change is that OnBlue has precisely zero colour insert pages (whereas Gateau dished them out generously), so we must sadly report that the great flourishing of colour art we saw with the previous chapters is presumably now finished, very unfortunately.
