I loved the way the mangaka showed all different types of experiences between the characters and their families. The variety of acceptance between the families was both heartbreaking and heartwarming. In terms of all the characters growing up and going down different paths, it was hard and realistic. For Kirino especially (even the teacher, although I greatly dislike him), things don’t always turn out they way you want. I cried at the end when I saw Kirino with his “dead fish eyes” because I knew that even though he has a family, he didn’t get to live life how he wanted to.
