Anyone who read this story would've probably catched on it wasn't going to be a happy ending -- or IDK maybe just me. i was reading chapter 4 and i felt like we weren't going to be getting a happy ending. I felt we weren't going to get a "hand of god" moment wherein in the last two chapters they fall in love or something!
But even if it wasn't happy, i feel satisfied. It's really well written! I feel like the author and the artist made sure to make it clear: they didn't want us to expect that much out of Murakami. The ending felt just right; that Murakami is still scummy and Uno is still in this anxious limbo of whether Murakami will love him eventually or leave him when he really gets back to who he was before becoming a hobo.
The written side story was literally an extra for me. Like it just further drives home the point that Murakami is just there because he doesn't want to feel abandoned again. He doesn't love Uno in a romantic sense but he feels unstable at the thought of being left behind.
