MUAH MUAH MUAHHH MUAHHHHHHHH. THIS IS LIERALLY MY FAVORITE ROMANCE ANIME EVER. LIKE OMFGGG. LITERally loVE IT. AND IM SAD THAT THE ANIME ENDING ENDED LIKE THAT BUT THIS WAS JUST SOOO GOO. I WANT A KOU WTF HES LITERALLY SO PRETTY I WANT HIM. im so glad that ;like everyone got thr happy ending and stuff. i do feel bd fpr kiuchi-kun?. futaba knew that he didnt like him but she only used him to forget about kou. kou was also kind of ???? bc he was like "yeah yeah wtv i like her but im not goint to get together with her" so that was kind of annoying. i also do wish that the manga was longer, like going into the future and things like with their children and stuff. I also wanted to hear the song that kiukichi-kun? wrote for futaba. literally shoutout to him bc he was being used. also fuck narumi bc she like manipulated ? kou into like keepoing being friends wit her bc they had things in common and in a way she didnt lwt kou move on from his mom. like toxica asf. also i was a litter anxious when long haoir dudeconffesed to the gitl bc i thought she was going to reject him but im glad that she didnt. ok this is um from a comment i read and its like literally what i said but better;
The absolute RAGE I feel whenever I think about Narumi, I don’t give a shit what happened, if you use your past and your own pain to hurt others knowingly and manipulate them you’re a piece of shit through and through. And I do dislike the fact that Kou despite knowing her true intentions still hung around her but I can’t blame him bc he tried finding comfort through relating with her. As for Touma, I really did like him but idk now thinking about him after all these years he definitely didn’t have any lead material. He wasn’t that interesting ig is what I’m tryna say, he’s truly a sweetheart but he and Futaba and zero chemistry and the purpose of their relationship was to strengthen Kou and Futaba’s relationship so I don’t really feel that terrible for him? But I do hope he’s happy. My favorite side characters were probably Shuuko and Kominato, they were real about Kou and Futaba’s relationship through and through and they pointed out the bullshit which I appreciated bc they spoke everything I was feeling. One thing I’m confused about though is Tanaka, he did like Shuuko right? And the only reason he didn’t accept her advances was bc of their situation. Bc if it was just him egging on Kominato I could dismiss it and be like “oh he’s probably just tryna be annoying” or “oh he’s just tryna fan the fire for their relationship” but even when no one was around he said “us brothers really do have bad luck” or something like that when he saw Futaba/Touma and Shuuko/Kominato. Anyways,,,,,,, KOU AKDKNANDNANDNA HES SO FUCKING ADORABLE I LOVE THAT MF SO MUCH, he really made me cry like a bitch and just thinking about the shit he went through makes me wanna cry again bc I kinda relate, but when he was finally going back to his brighter self he was so fucking adorable and idk like not childish or clumsy but he was a lot more interactive :((( bruh I love him so much. nyways i really loved the anime/manga so so so much.
