a really good series... i loved the manga from start till the near end... just that when it came to the ending though... i was really expecting for myself to cry with tears of joy.. but i was suddenly just kinda got ticked off, heart broken, depressed and disappointed, pissed off so much that i punched the wall several times (well, just excuse me for bieng a fan of the other girl)
...well there's no helping it if that's how the author wants the story to go. I can praise the author for the really good work, good characters, storylines, plot, stuff... etc.. but not quite on the overall story due to the ending...
you can say that I'm just one of the readers who was kinda disappointed with her cause like me.. some of the readers might have said:
a) "the author could have made a few twists and turns on the story so there will be a realization of love between the two which was missing in the story and some "twist and turns" for the other characters too... or something.."
or and somewhat idiotic-like or wishful-like comment that is:
b) "maybe just, maybe there could have been somekind of super secret alternative ending made but was not serialized and kept hidden from the readers" or something... haha but i still prefer "a" though...
well what done is done and nothing can be changed in the story anymore.. and most of the characters ended in good ways though the others was never revealed... there are readers satisfied with it...
but still... the "LOVE and HAPPINESS" for that other girl was quite unexpected and not satisfying(for me) cause there was just "happiness" for her.
and as for myself and all the other fans of that girl.... it's just that sometimes
"reality is harsh, sometimes things will not always go the way we want it and we can only accept the truth and selfishly whine or complain for ourselves"
Manaka-san, kirai da yo!!! >=P
