I liked this kind of story, but the ending it's really painful, even disappointing I'd say...but I guess it's a realistic, mature kind of ending. We can't always have a happy ending. But certainly it leaves a bitter taste behind. Personally, I still would have liked a continuation to see how things would have really gone between them once they would have started living under the same roof as step-brothers after their parents would have gotten married...especially since Ryou said he would remain in the house till graduation and then leave after that. Ending like that, it really makes me wonder about the ifs and buts... # Angst, Denied Feelings, Facade, Friends Grow Distant, Painful Love, Sacrifice, Unexpressed Feelings, Unresolved Romance
Boku No Hatsukoi Wo Kimi Ni Sasagu
Side story of Boku wa Imouto ni Koi wo Suru. Not only these two stories are related, but there is also an interesting connection between them: two painful love stories that, for different reasons, will be hampered by many difficulties. I liked how Yori and Takuma's paths crossed. Anyways, this story was so intense and emotional, it kept me worried until the end. It's bittersweet, but that's reality, the most important thing is to not lose hope!! *ღ¸¸.•╮ [MAY SPOIL] I just hope that someday Kou will wake up!! ╥﹏╥ About the ending, it's ambiguous, cause it can be interpreted in two ways: I want to think that he survived the operation and, after the time skip, what we see is their actual future together; but it could also be that he died and the happy scene at the end is the future he imagined while writing the will. So, that's why this story is really sad and the live-action is even sadder, cause there is tragic ending. Anyways, the manga's ending can be interpreted according to one's own perspective.
