Rip child growing up without a father. I don't think that she realizes she's setting up her child for failure by doing this. The other possibility is that she's simply being selfish. It's probably a little of both.

@criver growing up without a dad does suck but her options are either with ryuu, who is fcked up in a lot of ways and not ready for a child, and joe, who is just out of jail and similarly not a good person to become a father. also, neither of them were very good partners to yuzu. sometimes its better for a single mother to decide to raise the child on her own, for its sake and for hers. plenty of children grow up in single parent homes and turn out just fine.

that being said, this last moment between yuzu and koharu is so bittersweet. i love how they've grown to love each other, but yuzu leaving was inevitable.

@tempsventeux: Ryuu would definitely be a better option than the kid growing up without a father.
And while I do agree that there a children that "grow up just fine" with a single parent, this is the exception rather than the rule. I really hate to link wikipedia, but I don't think anybody would bother reading if I link a paper, so here: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Father_absence
She's simply making a choice that increases the probability of ruining her and her child's life. The worse thing is that it's not like she has no options. If you've watched Hotaru no Haka you can see the exact same thing happening - a main character making a bad choice due to lack of information and due to his ego. It's tragic seeing characters make decisions which may ruin their and their loved ones' lives.
But I guess this is what actually makes the plot good - a pinch of realism. Even though I don't think the author intended for this. Also there's no tragedy tag, so I am assuming the author will try and make it work out somehow.

I totally got that Shimoneta reference at the end! Right?? >_<
