The last probably 2-3 volumes of this are where the story really just.. nose dives into the ground. I finished this in 2020 but read Scum's Wish recently and saw Domekanojo recommended, honestly crazy considering the train wreck this series turns into. It's one of the few series to truly disappoint me by the end. This ending is by far one of the most horrendous i've ever read, It's done so poorly that I genuinely wish Sasuga won't ever get serialized again over it. It's such a crazy bastardization of everything that the story built and I never want to see her do something like this again.

Time to re read this!
Also unpopular opinion: Ending makes sense, but the execution was terrible. Rushing faster than my dad going to get milk

After the reread I still think it is unironically one of the best romance manga I have read

I changed my mind. After a reread, I agree with the ending but it feels very rushed which made it not very well received. Other than that it's a straight 10/10

What a shit ass ending, I hope the author suffers from stage 4 cancer and dies a painful death for that ending. Everything was perfect till ch270 so why switch up all of the sudden? Goddammit gotta read the fanfictions now to override my pain.

My wife and I had been friends with this other couple for years. It was only after a while that the wives had started talking, and both found out that we the husbands had been involved in the Hina-Rui wars in the 2010s. Up until then, we had never said a word about it, never mentioned it. It was so divisive, it was like having an alcoholic father, "Shhh, we don't talk about that!" And the manga fandom had been like that with Domestic Girlfriend, and it's been only very recently that Gen X and the Millennials are starting to say, "What happened? What happened?"

Kei Sasuga's Domestic Girlfrend manga began in obscurity. It ended, six years later, in failure, witnessed by the entire manga world. It was begun in good faith by a decent artist out of fateful lack of planning, artistic over-confidence, and editorial miscalculation. And it was prolonged because it seemed easier to muddle through than to admit that it had been caused by tragic decisions, made under a series of editors, belonging to multiple editorial philosophies.
Domestic Girlfriend seemed to call everything into question: The value of sacrifice and love; the qualities of cruelty and mercy; the candor of the artists' intentions, and what it means to be a manga fan. And those who read through it have never been able to erase its memory, have never stopped arguing about what really happened, and who was to blame, why everything went so badly wrong - and whether it was all worth it.
"In waifu wars, there is no victory. There is only destruction. Some may celebrate the triumph or defeat of this waifu or another, but it is all hollow. Only those who never fought like to talk about who won or lost."

this is an amazing work. all characters have interesting roles for the development of the story. the complications run smoothly which makes me impatient to read the next chapter. thank you sasuga kei! i really like your story and also maybe this is the most memorable one for my life.

Peak Drama Romance. The ending is mixed feeling. I had fun reading this. Can see the character development and the thought of writing every plot.
Sometimes reading it makes me feel happy, sad, hate, jealous, petty, etc.. I mean damn! What a Roller-coaster ride.
It peaked my interest even though I'm not into drama. I really cried out this one. I also once wanted to punch someone while reading some part, which I needed timeout reading, then continue after. Author really did bring out readers emotions on this one.
