Ichigo 100% Chapter 167 Discussion

Till the last page of the last chapter I had a little hope that ultimately manaka would go with aya......I decided to give the best rating to the manga....before I saw the gross ending of manaka ending up nishino........really manaka was the worst of all......and yes writer really really really sucked the ending.....the story started with a misunderstanding of nishino   being taken as the girl on the roof.....but there was no change even after the misunderstanding was cleared after hundred chapters......I just hated nishino........after the ending of the manga.....it was 💯% understood for me that manaka's character was the worst........nishino really never understood manaka's probs...but always prioritize hers....but aya..was such an innocent character.....she really was the best one...I am just so irritated.........😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡...

Tsukasa was the best girl. Shy laidback and you lose. Love a story ere not the booring first girl wins also. Tsukasas personality is more atractive and forword.

I read and completed this manga long ago, maybe about 8-9 years ago and thought I had it in my list already but apparently not. Only came into this side of MAL through some related series link jumping haha.



This series is still memorable to me mainly because of how it ended. I'm not a big romance genre guy but reading Ichigo 100% back then was interesting and how most of these series usually go about I figured Aya would be picked.



There was some issues with reused situations towards the middle but the series got surprisingly more realistic towards the end and highly engaging to read. Satsuki was my favorite girl of the 3 as she was assertive, straight-forward and had less BS surrounding her confessions but she got shot down way too much and it was hard to keep reading at times seeing her rejected so harshly. The Aya confession and rejection during the final moments was such a shocker due to way most other series go about relationships but it was also beautifully done. Nishino getting with Junpei didn't seem so fartetch towards the end due to the way she supported him but also pursue her owns dreams, just enough to be interesting to challenge Junpei and push him forward.



The final reunion was nice and bittersweet (as you get older high school/college days becomes more nostalgic) even though seeing Satsuki in "forever alone" status was a little disappointing.  In the end it showed that Junpei had a very strong bond with all his friends and even with Aya not being the chosen girl the type bond between her and Junpei is something most people in life strive to have with another.



Overall it's was a good read.

i glad to finish this series , even though i felt something rush for me

Towards the end of the series I was like,



"Yep, he's gonna end up with Aya, and that's ok too! but I think Tsukasa is a better choice!" and then I read the last couple of chapters and was pretty shocked, I didn't expect that kind of ending! It was a great ending and it left me feeling happy afterwards, that bonus chapter with Misuzu (I think that's her name) was good too! It was nice to see everyone's "timeskip" design, and it is also nice to know the film club is still going at the high school. I was on the verge of tears a few times in the last few chapters, it was so good!



Such a fun ride, I really enjoyed the series all the way through. I still want more though haha. I'm left with that really good feeling of completing a really good series. I'm glad I bought that first volume on a whim last year. I will remember this series for the rest of my life, and I will go back to it eventually too.



Viz, you must complete this series so that I may throw all my money at you! Probably won't happen, but hey, a guy can dream right?



Thank you so much Kawashita Mizuki and everyone else involved! I plan to read her other works soon.

I liked the manga but i felt sad because Manaka didn`t choose Aya.

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.

Just finished the manga, glad he chose Nishino over Aya
