Aitsu no Kanojo

If the author wanted the end being Riku coming to terms with what happened with Shizuku and Takt and choosing to move on without them and look to Umimi and, less so to Yako, as the future that's fine - I don't agree but that's fine I can live with that...what bothers me is to not even let the reader know what happened to Shizuku. I figure most readers don't care too much about Takt - at least he's shown going off to better himself. Shizuku just vanishes which is just such an odd choice.

And just as Riku is finally starting to move on, he gets a call from an anonymous number. It’s just a lazy open ending.

Man that ending pissed me off lol. All that for an open ending? Like come on man

Part of me wants to hold out some hope that maybe volume 8 will include the 1st draft of Chapter 73 or that the bonus content will be Shizuku coming back to Riku. However, the author himself said the bonus content was stuff that couldn't be published online which means it's spicy so it's unlikely to be a reunion. It'll either be what happened between Shizuku and Riku after the game center date and before she left or future Riku and future Umimi (and maybe Yako why not).

I want to believe as well but I have this gut feeling it's gonna be NTR stuff.

The happiest interpretation is that she was the unlisted number calling him, except it means the moment he finally resolved to move on with his life she ripped that scab open fresh again, but at least she didn't die of her mystery bullshit. The worst is Takt because fuck that guy. It's possible the last tank will give something along with whatever lewds the other has planned, you can't just dangle that phone call at the end and be all 'lol the end fuck you.' Well you can, but that's just a surefire way to piss a bunch of already pissed off readers even more. That twitter link up there has even more "what was that ending" replies now. I don't understand the people thinking it will be Shizuku/Takt content. He was practically forcing himself to do what little he did and she has zero reason to reciprocate now that the guy finally came clear, unless it's just more what-ifs/delusions

I think the people asking for Shizuku/Takt content like to watch the world burn lol. Or maybe they want more NTR...who knows.

I think if the author wanted one more fuck you he'd have Shizuku show up married to Takt and they have a little kid and he never establishes if it's Riku's kid or Takt's....and someone gets hit by a truck.

Is there even chance for Shizuku and Takuto steamy content?
The best I can imagine for the case is Shizuku and Takuto both stay together but both never expect anything romantic, just a fellow who went through failure together.

There are still people out there that believe Takt isn't gay - I don't fully blame them because the majority of the manga was written in a way where it wasn't crystal clear. Only at the end did Takt actually come out and admit he loved Riku. So they assumed Takt was dating Shizuku sincerely and wonder why they didn't do more than the make out scene near the end.
