I think that this is a good ending, I mean, for being a rushed ending it's pretty well done.
I think of it as an ending that introduces a new beginning. There were to many hints (in my mind) that signaled a second part or series! or maybe I am desperate for sensei to continue the series with Ichigo's kid as the main character, I have to much hope at this point.
Ok, i'll shut up now.(〜 ̄△ ̄)〜
I wonder what he'll be doing with the knife later on?(〜 ̄△ ̄)〜
The neck marking is part of a tattoo that was magically placed to mark Kyon as Lucaon's servant. I think it has to be magically removed--it's in his skin. It was added when Lucaon met Kyon and put his hand with his own tattoo to the back of Kyon's neck, and it's where Lucaon likes to connect magical chain to Kyon.
With the snow and the introspection, I was worried that maybe Kyon had killed Lucaon when Lucaon went zero, and now he was going to kill himself. I've seen K dramas like that. But I hope not. I am hoping maybe Kyon slices his throat or his hand a little to force a wounded Lucaon to drink from Kyon because that's happier (Lucaon will heal Kyon). It may be neither. Knives, snow, moodiness--could just be a Monday.
Ok so I see many people hating Taichi, and I get it. He did make some bad mistakes in the past, most mistakes can't be forgiven, and maybe they should never be forgiven. But, I understand were Taichi is coming from. He is just scared, through out the manga I have seen that Taichi is really scared of ending like his father did, he's just scared of that. The reason he is clingy, over protective and possessive is because he doesn't want to end up doing what his father did and let the person he loves go and just cripple down with self-pity.
Also, what I have noticed is that Nao still and will(maybe) love Taichi, he has hope that they can return to being a good couple. He has not broken up with Taichi and he doesn't seem like he wants to. So I am fairly sure that he only sees Nishi as a friend a really close friend who has helped him regain hope on his and Taichi's relationship.
Another point i want to bring is that since it is clear that Nao still loves Taichi and if like you guys say, he does end up kissing with Nishi and Taichi witnesses that, causing Taichi to somehow react; i am sure that Nao would try to clear things up with Taichi. Either that or he would push Nishi away.
Anyways this is my opinions and I hope that you people first get to know Taichi a little better. He's just is a scared person. And I know for certain that Nao still loves him enough to want to fix the relationship and not just leave him for someone he considers a friend.
I think that I can't trust no one in this story. I mean everybody is suspicious and the MC could be trying to not remember things he knows and is just trying to fool himself. Like I don't think I can even trust my mind in this situation anymore.
