Ahhhh damn, it’s reaching its end. I really loved the beginning of this manga, but the way it’s heading right now feels so forced to me. Sorry for ranting, but when I first started reading this manga, I felt so hyped to see where it would go because the main characters were interesting and I found their reasons behind their actions to be natural. Reading this now, I feel so empty. I was looking forward to seeing Sora’s mom, but seeing her now, the mother is so... basic. She was just introduced, but her actions feels so forced to me. She found a husband, great! But did she really have to hit her kid just to make her “obedient”? It does happen in real life, but scenes like this feels like the “hate-this-character-because-I-made-her-a-bitch” cliche. And she’s clearly the type of parent that wouldn’t really give a fuck about what her kid wants, so if all of a sudden she’s fine with leaving Sora alone after seeing the power of friendship, it would be very out of character for someone as selfish as her. The only way I can see this going is Ayaka confesses and they have a long distance relationship, or the husband immediately divorces the mother and Sora doesn’t have to move.
But right now, I’m gonna cry to what seems like an axed ending.
