Well I personally liked this manga quite a lot, many things went like I expected and stuff, honestly I didn't even thought once that this manga was going to really concentrate to sports.
After all Yamato wasn't never really interested about sports and things more like circulated around everyones feelings and Yamatos huge crush towards Asahina. Only real surprise to me was the fact of sudden ending, it kinda gave me sort of feeling of boredom or lack of motivation, like author just didn't want to do it anymore, eventhough he could have extended it "easily" about 40-60 more chapters.
Maybe all ideas towards plot dried up and he desided to hurry the end?
It really left university and some other features totally unused, but nevertheless, it was great romance series and last chapter left behind really comfortable feeling.
Next project to me is to read Kimi no Iru Machi. ^^
The mangaka, at the time when this was still being created, made a few posts about his lack of motivation to continuing Suzuka on his private blog. He wanted to move on to new things but understood the series couldn't be left open ended.
I agree, if he had more motivation he could have easily continued the series on past the marriage.
Hmmh, honestly I would have prefered open end, coz after some time (maybe years though) he might get new motivation to end it properly.
But what is done is done, most importantly... I enjoyed it so not going to whine about small things like this. ^^
And thanks for background information.
