    check_translation just in case I got 想えれる backwards after all.

    I only get 897 hits on Google for that particular form of the verb, but according to this Weblio entry, it's legit, rather than a typo. The trouble is, I'm not good enough with Japanese technical linguistic terms to suss out exactly WHICH verb form it is. At the very least, by comparing to the entry for 思えられる, I can see that 思えれる doesn't appear to be passive. It may just be a potential verb form, though I couldn't say how/if it differs from 思える. So, uh, anyway, modifying the translation a bit based on this semi-educated guess.

    Also, the artist very definitely says that, with this story coming to a conclusion, he's taking a break for a bit.

    it's read the same way as 思う as far as i remember from classes, in which we once had this word come up. as for its exact meaning, i can't tell you more that it has more or less the same meaning as 思う, but the latter is more logically thinking while the latter is more from your heart.

    The root of the verb isn't the question. It's which verb form is being used. Normally, I'd think the potential form of 想う (or 思う) is 想える (can think/feel), and the passive potential is 想えられる (can be thought/felt). But 想えれる looks like the potential form of of 想える. How can you have the "can do" form of something that's already in "can do" form? Thus our confusion.
