I can consume hundreds mangas with plain plot similar to this. Basically, most one-shots has this kind of plot. Yet only this manga seriously puts me off. Fueh. I wonder why.
And the everlasting question is, should you w8 for the right moment and waste time or should you move on and try to find a love and don't look back. Well in this case it worked out, after so long. Guess happy endings are nice to dream of sometimes.
