Thanks rodan and MaraVos for the explanations on 落し物日和! Both of your comments were super interesting to read and I now understand the ending very well (at least I think I do haha). I’m so glad I got the flirtatious undertone now thanks to you both, because that adds a lot of flavour to it imho.
Harta 81
one-shots
私設図書館カルセドニーの回顧録
Was a bit too cheesy for me
キュリオシティ
I didn’t really understand the point of any of this, haha. The setting was super odd, somehow. Like having this play out in a boring courtroom when I just want to see all the Aliens and more about that, haha. I get that it led up to this big resolution, but I felt like it was somehow a bit of a miss for me.
影と愛の挨拶
This one was enjoyable! But it was a bit too long? I think this could’ve been pretty good if the story was a bit more tidied up and we had less of the repetition.
嵐の君
The panty shot ruined this one for me 
LEFTY WAS HERE
Are we getting more from this author? 
I am intrigued.
人魚のムニエル
I loved this one for how unexpected everything in there was! This was a nice palate cleanser in the end. 
I would also like to see more from this author, seems like they think out of the box! And I really liked the design of the female main character.
眼鏡のふたり
So this was released in February 2021. In my country there were still extremely strict lockdowns around that time. It seems like in Japan there weren’t anymore, at least that’s what I gathered from a wiki article on it. I wonder how I would’ve felt about this lighthearted Manga if I read it directly during February 2021. Anyway, now I find it somehow comforting to remember the awkwardness and newness around the masks. Although over here we predominantly used FFP2 masks (and every time I use the subway I still see at least 5 people who still wear those FFP2 masks), so at first I didn’t even associate it with covid until I read MaraVos’s comment.

アンリの靴
Oh, what a relatable chapter. I once worked as a graphic designer / IT person in a very fancy tourism related company. I never saw clients and was just behind a computer in the back office but they forced me to dress a certain way that made me super uncomfortable. I also quit this gig because of that. Funnily enough, my male colleagues were never held to this standard.
ホテルメッツァペウラへようこそ
While I wrote my Harta 80 notes I had already read this chapter in Harta 81 and couldn’t really write anything about the Harta 80 chapter because my thoughts were completely stuck with this chapter. How heartbreaking! With ホテルメッツァペウラへようこそ the breaks in between chapters somehow work super well for me, even with cliffhangers like that.
生き残った６人によると
MaraVos said it best:
アビスアジュールの罪人
When I read this I thought all 6 short stories will be after each other and thought this is another one shot 
so it was a super surprising twist for me when it turned out that this is actually アビスアジュールの罪人 which made the experience super fun haha but unfortunately that was not intended
夜の名前を呼んで
I was a bit sad this got more serious in the last chapter, but this chapter (albeit starting equally serious) brought back the lightheartedness which I really enjoyed!
Forgot his name, but his character design/outfit doesn’t fit the vibe/story for me at all
always took me out a bit.
ことり文書
We now know that this apparently plays in current times, at least people are using smartphones and stuff. I loved this chapter!
Also this relatable progression over several pages:
Next issue will have あかねさす柘榴の都! I am excited for that one. I wanted to read this one since I discovered it unrelated to Harta, so even better that it’s included in here! (Thankfully I didn’t buy any volumes of that one yet, haha!)
Also the drawings featuring Dungeon Meshi’s characters in a modern setting were sooo good, really makes me want to read something from the author that plays in this setting haha
