Its always a heavy heart when one of my favorite mangas & series reaches it's final chapter. Its been a wild 8 years, damn I feel old

7/10 ending, would've liked a timeskip but i have a serious feeling we're gonna get that in ch.200 (copium)

Well. It’s finally come. But to be honest, my feelings are lot more mixed than I thought.

This was my generation‘s big romance manga. When I was reading new MHA chapters every week in highschool, this series was 15, maybe 20 chapters in? But when I think back about the stand out moments, most of them are from the first 100 chapters. In fact only one I can think of wasn’t and that‘s the band arc because of how complicated, long and pointless it all was. I Think that‘s a pretty good indicator that this series was done a disservice by it’s length.

By a certain point, how Kyo and Yamato act in any given situation becomes predictable down to a science. This becomes an issue in lots of series but usually there’s a new conflict or drama to shake things up or the series concludes. This series didn’t have ANY meaningful drama after a certain point. Yamata is forbidden from dating but there’s never any real consequences, plot beats weave in and out of the story with no resolution, ect.

Beyond the main duo, as the series goes on, it feels more and more like highschoolers than middleschoolers probably because the writer got bored of middleschoolers but was stuck with it. Also the side characters are cute but most don’t have the staying power or depth to last or stand out in such a long run. The most I remember was the blond guy who challenged Kyo at a sports contest and Bitch-chan (names elude me).

If this series with all of it’s best moments was condensed down to 100, maybe even 70, I would probably call this one of the best romance mangas I’ve ever read but when half the reason I got to the end was to finish something I started in highschool, I can’t say that.

6/10

I think the author didn't knew how to end it and just wanted to be done with it and honestly, yeah.

The series was peak when it was about Ichi and Yamada being together and maybe the start of their relationship but once they were a stablished couple it kinda just went nowhere...

As someone said if the author ended up earlier and skimmed those unnecesary chapters it would be a 10/10 romance but so many filler in the last volumes make it lose a lot of its magic.

Should I just stick to watching the anime then?

I started it a while ago, I checked some latter chapters every now and then, but it seemed to meander a lot, the author teased them having and thinking about sex multiple times but it never happened, so I don't really understand what was the point of that.

Final spin off or not, the journey has been amazing. I'm so thankful I randomly picked this series to read all those years ago.
All the characters grew so much, specially Ichi. He became such a brave and admirable person!
It was a pleasure to read it all through all the high and low moments.

Thank you to everyone involved in translating this, for all the people here for all the comments and interactions, and for Norio for making this story. Best wishes to all!

i don’t know anything about that which would be weird cuz their middle schoolers but just stick to the anime and hope the later seasons cut the fat.

hopefully whoever directs the anime understands you can’t make a statue without removing some stone.
