Though koizumi loved ueda, I think they should’ve let him go to maki ╥﹏╥ but ig, ueda is “better” now and will continue to do “better” but ughhhh ╥﹏╥
It was like a kiss and make up relationship, idk but from my view the relationship was toxic and no communication from one end
Like, he was a complete dick but at least he was straightforward and consistent, and he caused Koizumi a hell of a lot less pain than Ueda. Ueda may have had bad experiences in the past, but that doesn’t justify his complete lack of communication. He made major decisions about their relationship without consulting Koizumi and jerked him around emotionally. He didn’t become determined to make everything work until it looked like Koizumi was moving on with someone else. It seems likely that this situation will repeat itself in the future.
There are plenty of stories where Maki is the dark seme who wards off a weak-willed rival and sweeps the MC off their feet, and I’m not sure which ending I’d have preferred here.
