safe conclusion indeed
When it comes to the development of a main character probably one of the biggest in any manga written. Not the absolute greatest ending but still shows just how much he's changed.
I think the problem is Anna didn't get proper growth in the ending volumes at all, while other works like Polar Opposites went to side characters only after both MCs were developed, especially as Suzuki was more of a MC there.Always funny seeing Japanese manga endings triggering the hell out of most non-jp audiences.
This is a very conventional ending for this sort of story and fits perfectly fine.
The people who are unhappy just misunderstand what this manga is about (literally the focus of this entire chapter). The romance was never the primary 'point' of this story. It's Ichi's and Yamada's growth over their middle school lives and highlighting how precious that time is.
I'm sure a lot of the same people who are unhappy with this ending also speedred the chapter because they didn't give a crap about the graduation and just wanted yamada x ichi moments.
The author can always add an epilogue if they want, but why even bother here? This sort of ending closes it off perfectly fine and the reader should be allowed to have their imagination go wild in how they would live out their highschool and university lives afterwards.
This story is about our time in middle school, not about the time after.
