I WANT TO DEFEND THIS MANGA FROM THE THIRD TOP POPULAR COMMENT!!!!
The wrap up is perfect! Let me clear those "unclear points" you probably just missed.
Akira is not a bad ghost. He died at 17 right? And he was hanging around for 16 years already. Everyday, he dreams of his days when he was alive, day by day. When Haruto cannot see him anymore, he dreamt of the day he died. Therefore altering his appearance, as we can see he is now wet and nasty looking from his death in the river. Thus when they meet again, Akira was no longer his cheerful self after witnessing his own horrifying death. Yet even after that, he did not take Haruto with him. He passed onto the afterlife himself. Before this incident, there are proof that he is indeed a good ghost when he broke the wall to alert the neighbors to aid on Haruto that has fallen down the stairs even if the tiniest poltergeist literally takes every bit of his strength. Also, the neighbor that said that Akira was a bad ghost took back his words, at the end he said that people can indeed relate to a ghost in contrast to the book. AKIRA WAS NOT A BAD GHOST, ATLEAST HE INTENTIONALLY WASN'T. What happened are circumstances resulting to his dream of his death. It was bound to happen. It just so happened that Haruto had Akira's fluids on the Akira's 17th year, the exact day of Akira's death, and Akira's intended passing.
Akira wasn't really different from the other ghosts. And he wasn't meant to move on to the after life after solving a so called regret, but rather than after dreaming all his days in those 17 years he had before dying. Suicide or accident, it was an awful death either way, that explains his stench.

Honestly, I wish people could've read this with better comprehension so that the key points could have not been missed. This manga deserves a higher rating. I hope people can understand it better because it definitely deserves the recognition. Its so underrated. Please try to understand it better before coming up to the conclusion to those said "plot holes"cause there is literally none.

its realistically beautiful. i truly love it. their love was so pure until akira made the wrong choices. however, no matter how much i try to understand akira, i just cant. he was the one to pursue nishi. he started it, he was so passionate about it, yet he was so quick to drop nishi and marry a woman. i know its a 5 chapter manga, akira's actions were explained more on the movie adaptation, yet its just not justifiable. i cannot sympathize with him one bit. he bought nishi so much pain for 8 years. i just can't ever understand how you can leave the greatest love of your life due to such petty circumstances. there might be second chances, but there are already cracks. nishi is an absolute sunshine, he has the heart to forgive, that's the only thing that kind of made me believe that they've truly reconciled.
does anyone know how many raw chapters are out so far?
there are 34 chapters! the 35th will be released the 7th of May
thank you so much!!! <3 perhaps was it announced how much there is left before the ending?
idk about that, sorry ç.ç
