Ahh, good to know. American manga publishers are frustratingly inconsistent about citing the copyright date for the original, untranslated work their edition is based on, so it can be hard to figure out the actual timeline on work without doing more research than I'm generally up for. I'd assumed that this was old enough to predate Takahashi's status as one of the best-selling, most popular comics artists in the world, or that she decided to concentrate on something else, and ended it early for that, or something. Maybe that's what she did? It's not a bad ending, but it didn't have to come this early.
