kunii~<3's manga / #WHAT A TWIST(1)

A lot of people found the ending disappointing, I thought it made sense and fit. This had me hooked completely J was so invested. Unfortunately, as many other ppl have noted, it seems the author was forced to end the story or else they missed with the pacing about halfway. They spent a good amount of time setting up the scenario in the first half-ish and the story was very intriguing, I do feel I understood everything that happened. Unfortunately certain things were not developed properly, like Sota's situation and return, Shiori's side and feelings, etc. It feels the author sort of lost track of the way they were developing the story after everyone woke up, and certain feelings and relationships weren't developed or foreshadowed properly for the final reveals to hit. Most notably, Sota and anyone in the rest of the family, particularly Shiori and Sota, as well as the father and the grandpa. Plus a lot of loose ends and things that were major story-drivers earlier are kind of left to die, like the father's... affair? Idk what it was or why even the kid showed up later in Sota's made-up family, that whole situation felt weirdly rushed and written. BUT IT STILL GETS 5 STARS CAUSE IT WAS SO FUN TO READ AND I LIKE THE EXPRESSIVENESS OF THE ART AND I'M WEAK FOR FAMILY FEELS
