Somehow this ending is kinda different from the ending I read 10 years ago or so. Maybe what I read back then was the original while this one here is a revised version from a newer edition. In any case, this is a better ending. I remember in the ending I read back then Kasuga was a bigger coward and couldn't take any decisions until Hikari basically dumped him and pushed him towards Ayukawa. That was pretty lame a left me butthurt for a whole decade. lol Fortunately this newer version is a little different. Kasuga here does take a decision on his own before Hikari dumps him. That's nice. The movie adaptation is still better though, but at least this version of the manga is better than the original.
