love the story, hated the ending. 9/10
ik it was author's intention to be left like that. but as far as I've seen before the timeskip, Taichi's never look at Touma beyond of that of friends. Yes, the story's lesson is about how life is a series of choices with no certainty that it'll go your way or not. But please, I beg some lick of development between them. We got a nice decent buildup of love between Futaba and Taichi. But anywy, the author is alr aware with that so I respect their decision with the story.
My favorite part about this is the open communication between the adults and teenagers. It's so nice to hear their point of view—there is no wrong or right.

ah, did i not make my comment clear enough? my bad. I knew they were married since i heard the spoilers, but i did not like the timeskip since it didn't align with how taichi's feelings were portrayed for touma in the pre-timeskip. i wish to see just some few pages of HOW those two got together and what led it.
I am happy they were the endgame but I'm disappointed of how it was executed.

reread ch. 1-3 for analysis. Not sure if this story is the type with a one-person pov/unreliable narrator. But I'll take everything that's happening w a grain of salt despite how sad I feel for Naho.
However, there are times when it's certainly the truth such as how in ch. 3, rather than ML defending the blatant underlying insult to his childhood friend from his classmates, he sat by and accepted it all. I'm not sure what game he is playing at, but if he truly feels something for Naho, he shouldn't let his classmates talk about Naho that way.
Second, the fucking treatment from ML's classmate to Naho. I get that he seemed to be trying to be a "friend" for ML, supporting his classmates' "relationship" and blocking any interferences for their "budding romance." But, god, he must've known that Naho is only harmless, fuck him. Considering how insecure MC is being rn, he can't handle such hostile treatment. Seeing how it affected Naho hurts me and it's rlly sad how he seemed to have no one else to confine to.
I said it once, but I'll say it again. Naho deserves to find another friend. I'm okay if this is all a misunderstanding since it seems so obvious it's going for that direction *eye roll* but I just want ONE true friend for Naho. Naho's development matters and he should really square his shoulders up and find a fucking companion other than the ML bc omfg he's not worth it.
is he breaking the pinky promise ritual? that is so mean :(
