but nobody could think Junpei -kun walk behind nishino , he wants to know if she could turn her head back, she also wanted to know if Junpei -kun would eventually follow to the end , in the end she is back seeing he followed you see what he has given you the answer as you also say that you would not turn his head, then tell me who could understand Junpei -kun nishino hand , it did him a man and true who will stop at nothing while waiting for four years after these studies in France , is the love we have to sacrifice to get it and this is the case it nishino the ' you understand yet . and those for ca I love the character of nishino more and more. aya but could never be a happy ending because she does not understand what love and sacrifice it takes to be and satsuki was never in the game, it was too violent and too sex appeal that is that he got his failure. nishino but had those she wanted because she continue without stopping to take care of the flower so that it becomes the most beautiful in the eyes and it happened .



good i could say anything in the end , i do luv this manga .I wanted to have even more than that really

When finishing this Manga, I was slightly upset that Toujou didn't win in the end, but I understand why she didn't win and I respect the way the author closed it. A little but half way through the series is where Toujou's chance of being picked by Manaka died.



During this time Toujou was just way to distant and her shy personality compounded on top of that to create an even bigger wall that couldn't be destroyed. And also because of Amachi focusing on Toujou and him spending so much time with her was another distance maker.

Simply, as time progressed Toujou and Manaka barely talked to each other while Nishino and Manaka were getting along great. Manaka did think of Toujou but not as much as Nishino. So by the time Toujou gathered enough courage to confess it was already wayyyyyy to late for her to do anything.



I have thought of ways of how to change it mid way to have the result be Toujou but no matter what I think it was a well thought out ending. If he ditched Nishino there would of been a horrible feeling because of that connection that they made. The only way I believe that this story would've changed would be if Manaka in the begining didn't ask Nishino out. That way Toujou would've had a lead, because as stated by Nishino, she forgot about the event that got her to like him so I believe Toujou would've had the upper hand.



In this case the main factor that determined who Manaka was going to end up with was time. If Toujou wasn't shy and unwilling to confess and spend more time with the film club instead of the literature club they would've had a better chance. But what's done is done. Nishino wasn't my first choice and when they ended up together I was upset at first and confused but after some thought understood.



P.S in all honesty any female interest that entered after Toujou and Nishino had no chance in hell.

Sorry Satsuiki and Mukai

^ Ya always a nice option, but the story was set up to strongly for Aya/Nishino.



Aya took it well for being rejected, but Nishino went above Aya for Manaka and if she gets rejected after getting together, it be sad = compared to current ending.

I chose to read this manga as i wanted to read a heart-warming and sweet love story. Having read really sad stories right before, I feel robbed, I wanna die.



I put up with all of the clichee and awkward mess, just so i could ultimately see Aya finally have her love reach that damn monkey of an mc that we had to put up with. Other than the beatifull hair the girls had, that was the only thing that kept me from dropping this. I actually enjoyed it a bit until the chapter 30~35, but then all i had to enjoy was the hope of the ending that we were supposed to get. I mean, from the first chapter, this has been the love story between Aya and Junpei.



And i don’t wanna hear about how its more realistic, original, or any lf that kind of nonsense. Half of the manga was about random panty shots and the main character falling onto a girl’s crotch whenever something had to happen in the script. Not to mention the mc changing his feelings based on who he encounters, it’s just ridiculous.

From the start, and throughout the whole story, it was all about Aya finally getting closer, what should have been happening at first ( Aya getting Junpei instead of Tsukasa when he first confesses ) postponed to later, each time, as if in a sadistic madman’s mind that pushes someone off a cliff right before he finishes to climb it.



It would have been fine if it finally ends up as it’s supposed to, it’s a lame but good way to stretch out the story, but that wasn’t the case.

We had everything set, Satsuki had guys she could forget about Junpei with, Tsukasa has the pastry chef, Ookusa, it’s just so unfair at the end, for all of the characters. The relationship with Tsukasa wasn’t serious, and we knew it since the beggining, she knew about Aya, just like Satsuki, and we could litteraly see that she selfishly took Junpei for herself, and we could feel it, she knew that it wasn’t right, that it had to stop at some point.

We had hints of how it *had* to end the whole time, and we still got deceived each time. Tsukasa coming out on top was the thing that *shouldn’t* have happened, and I guess that’s why it did. I could feel it all along, it’s like it just goes deeper and deeper into the abyss, the point of no return. The shining diamond we could see in the early stages kept on getting dimmer and dimmer.



Im really mad at the author for dragging the story for that long, with such a mediocre and clichee story, but yet with such a big hope. Who cares about the pointless fan-service with hundreds of panty shots, predictable and lame twists, but how can you betray the story’s own essense like that? Who cares about originality when you do have such a a story, with its issues and its beauty?



I try to console myself and think that a female author could end up seeing things from different angles, and that over time it would completely shift from a young man romantical ideals but when I remember what our main character actual is, it does’t really make me feel any better.

Coming here with with a wounded heart, I’m now leaving with such a big hole in it, and that bitter-sweet taste in my mouth really is depressing.

Thinking back, all that stuff about novels and movies was pretty sweet, but too bad that we couldn’t know that much more about it though.



Anyways i guess I had to read that, even thought I noted 1/10, Im wondering if I should put it in my favorites. The author’s hair drawing sure were lovely.



Blame Shounen Jump who keep extending the series, even author admit it herself.  Due story over extended, story must evolved.

I just finished reading it for the second time after 14 years or so (I came across it while unpacking some old boxes and decided to give it another go). Massive mistake. I am currently under a terrible depression because of the development of the ending, even though I remembered how the story ended. I guess the feeling will wear out in a few days but I will leave a note for my future self inside the box to never read it again but treasure it.

I do remember being full on Tsukasa supporter the first time I read it, but this second time Toujo's confession and getting rejected broke me into pieces because it was sad to see that after all the effort it took her to overcome her shyness it bore no fruit. It might also have to do with me reading it all in 4 days this time vs the several months it took the first time because I had to wait for it to be published so the grief was far more bearable.

It's still my favourite romcom because of the pureness of mind all characters have (even Satsuki who although she would undress for Manaka, she wouldn't dare to kiss hime so soon).
