This MC.. kind of guy I hate the most..



Yesterday he likes Saki

Honoka shows up, then he likes Honoka

Suzuka return from america, He was just regretting not confessing to Honoka. But then when he see's Suzuka, he was like "oh it was Suzuka who I liked all along".. wth





but still a good read.. :) 8/10



yeah I was pissed at that too. I kinda wanted to see him screw Yui though LOL. I was kinda sad that she left the story until the last few chapters. I wish it was her to be Yamato's love interest while Suzuka was gone instead of Honoka AGAIN. Other than that, amazing read.

*wipes off manly tears*



That was rather unexpected. I thought that the ending was gonna be boring but I found it to be rather satisfying. I was expecting the friction between Miki and Hattori to have been gone by now.

After finally finishing this manga, I agree with all that Suzuka was indeed a fun read.



However, I feel that I need to vent out my frustrations about the conclusion. The ending was nice and all, but it doesn't feel right after reading the majority of the manga! Up until chapter 155, this manga was a definite 9/10 for me, but it's now dropped to 8 and almost 7/10. The artwork and characters were excellent, and the relationship between the main couple was going smoothly, but then the author decided to create the pregnancy.

W...T...F...

Reasons why this fails:

1) It makes Asahina going to the USA to improve at high-jumping totally pointless as she can't compete anymore

2) Yamato can't fulfil his promise to be no.1 sprinter in Japan and can't compete with his big rival Arima (plus, he got a condom from Yasunobu and SHOULD HAVE USED IT!)

3) Instead of pregnancy it would have been better to show the two go on to university to realize their great potentials as athletes (would have been cool to see what their uni life was like, new friends, new rivals, etc) before getting married and having kids

4) The whole sports aspect of the manga developed from chapter 1-155 has essentially been wiped out in an instant (for me, the track and field aspect made Suzuka and Yamato much more interesting as characters)



The only good thing is that perhaps after their daughter grows a bit older, Suzuka and Yamato could both continue doing athletics together for a bit (at end of manga they are still only about 19-20 years old so quite possible?)



Anyway, this is just my own opinion and reflects the massive disappointment that I feel. The manga seemed to have settled for a very normal ending rather than in style.

Well it was pretty terrible for the most part, but improved drastically towards the end when the characters actually developed properly. The ending was ok.

le sigh! finally finished this manga, I've had it on hold for the longest time but i found some free time to finish it and I really loved it.

man the spring is too long for me to wait I will loose interest by then I wish it was starting in like january I think I could wait that long.



ya i wish they would have hooked up too but this manga never really told us about side characters so i guess it is to be expected.
