I sincerely hope that Boshi doesn't truly call it quits. Or at least, even if he stops drawing yukkuri-related work, that he keeps on drawing Gizaha, because she is a treasure.
Fantastic story! Once more, the shitheads got what they deserved!
Speaking of Boshi, it's a pity that he abandoned the abyuse community because he created such great stories. All of them ended with justice, making the shitheads get what the really deserved. No cliffhangers as well.
This is why I liked this guy's stories unlike some other disappointing works by other artists such as takumi, noraaki or kirishima ryuji, whose stories didn't satisfy me enough because of being unfinished or not having well deserved treatment for the bad yukkuri.
Even though this was his last story, the very last abyuse was perfect to put an end to his job: making an unborn (and surely shithead) yukkuri painfully suffer forever, unable to move, talk, see or live a normal live, not having her dreams accomplished, having bad memories through her bean paste with the uneasy poo poo, stinking and, of course, unable to die because of the orange juice and being unable to say "eat up easy". Only being useful as a scarecrow. This is one of the best abyuses I've ever seen in this site.
Thanks for your contribution, Boshi, I'll still remember you for this.
Sorry if it was exaggerated but I felt I needed to say all of this.
These are my two cents but aren't the existence of wild yukkuri a biological interaction, namely both predation and amensalism? For those of you who don't know, amensalism is an interaction where an organism inflicts harm to another organism without any costs or benefits received by itself, in layman's term, amensalism is an organism whose normal life affects other species without it's knowing it. Yukkuris are both predators (to insects and plants) and prey (to other predator species), but in their average life, giving birth and taking it easy are their sole purpose, and how can they achieve that? Eating, of course. Throughout their lives, they are constantly and relentlessly pumping out their little anko bag, but it's their raison d'être, they didn't mean it, they cannot do anything else, like some other creatures, like ocean sunfish, who is very slow and prone to death, so in order to preserve their genes, they will lay up to 300,000,000 eggs per times, which is the highest number in the animal kingdom. But most of the time those eggs just... get eaten or die due to other factors. Yukkuri is very much identical to this fish, in that they are weak, so weak that they have no choice but to give birth as many times as possible to not let the yukkuri species extinct. However, yukkuris are much more greedy than other things, as most of the time they aren't eating to sate the hunger, they eat just for fun and to "take it easy", thus leading to this scenario when an average clan of wild yukkuri, no, no need to go that far, a couple of two yukkuri can annihilate any forest if you give them enough time to do so, and guess what, roughly about 3 or 4 months that you can say goodbye to the forest. One more quirk that makes them dangerous is that yukkuri are almost not suffering from inbreeding, so they can go incest with little to no drawbacks, and if there is a downside, which usually is retard, then this is much much more dangerous, yeah sure retard are usually not be able to produce, but their desire to eat is much bigger than a normal yukkuri (which is already high and almost endless), so they can keep eating, eating and eating, till there is nothing left for them to eat, after that, they will go cannibalism, and just like this pool, leave a party for insects like flies. Yeah, they do not mean it, but they are living catastrophes.

To be honest, it isn't that much different from some of the more (in)famous invasive species that exists in real life, like cane toad and rabbit in Australia, imported fire ants in US and several other places, and cat in... well, everywhere, really.
For established ecosystems, though, usually, species within the system has achieved some sort of equilibrium with others, with the explosive breeders tend to be eaten by predators as fast as they breed to maintain a more-or-less stable population. In the case of yukkuri, they used to be depicted as something magical and only appeared in our world relatively recently, so that might contribute to their depiction as an ecological disaster - of course, it also makes them less sympathetic and more satisfying to abyuse.
If we apply logic and time to them as another part of the ecosystem, though, eventually they would cease to be such (if they didn't destroy the system first), as their number get culled by predators and natural death to a more sustainable level. In fact, considering how often yukkuri is shown to be at the barrel bottom of and food chain they're in, it's surprising that there aren't many works showing how they get eaten by non-human animals.
On a similar vein, in some canon, yukkuri also serve as some form of super-decomposer, being able to turn many things (even those wholly inorganic in extreme cases) into paste that, while not necessarily salivating, can still be utilised as nutrition by other beings. In that case, they would still contribute to the environment they live in, by fertilising plants and feeding animals with themselves (usually unwillingly, but poo-poo is usually shown to be no different from paste for non-yukkuri).
Salute to Boshiherondasu. Their works entertained me for a long time. A truly talented artist, I hope they are happy wherever they are and doing whatever they're doing. o7
And yes, also a big thanks to all the wonderful folks involved as well. The creators of this website, those who manage it, uploaders of Boshiherondasu's works, the translators, the hard translators and the ones who neatly organised the artist's works into pools. You all made me take it really easy haha😊✌️
