It's fully translated in English now, cool!

I have such an odd feeling towards this series, these revenge for being cheated on plots are interesting but Koibito Swap treats everything so lightly, the same way I feel happy for Yuusuke and Kotone finally hooking up to move forward from their shared pain, I feel iketani and Kayo don't seem to be bearing the true consequences of a teen pregnancy, moreso Kayo who tried to fool hers and Yuusuke's family into believing the baby was his, look at them trailing Yuusuke and Kotone like silly goobers at the end, it kills the catharsis factor.

Edit: Looking further into this matter I now know the Manga version streamlined and outright cut many plot points from the Web Novel, the Manga version is verifiably more light hearted, thus the feeling I had wasn't just a personal impression, the catharsis I sorely missed is in the Web Novel.

The credits page in this final chapter personally thanks @Cross-21-, rightfully so, go read his comments, he details what was left out in the manga version.

Too bad it ended before we see the cheaters actually suffer. We had the two main cheaters dealing with an unwanted pregnancy and the other side girl who cheated and got the basketball club shut down because of the condoms. I imagine those types of scandals would be disastrous for their futures, but I guess they wanted to promote the novel?

that family deserves to be cut off from bro's life. it is good he ignored them but if they are going to side with other people without hearing their own son then best they be gone from their son's life.
I do want to say this, from we see, he doesn't care about his family or their opinion. He had the time to explain to his family during and before his revenge plan to his advantage. This is his childhood friend, and to their knowledge "current" girlfriend, I'm assuming they treat her like a daughter. Also this is infuriating, but the sister saw them to her belief going to have sex and left them to their own devices. He didn't explain it to her afterward, of course it's more believable on the cheater's end. He came home, sister on knee, family gathered apologizing, dismissing them cause he in a good mood, he doesn't care for this family. That dad however is fucked for that punch, saving grace it was more like a push to the bed cause the MC didn't receive any bruise like how that typical trope work for these.

Simple, short and satisfying.

I can see wanting to see the cheaters suffer, but that would've made the story darker. Leaving the details out allowed the whole thing to be lighter and more... cheerful, almost ("Thank you for cheating on me" was such a great line). I'm okay with that, all things considered.

Aw what, they skipped him breaking down in front of his and his ex's family? that was one of the best parts of the online novel :(
After he broke down crying, The families realized how stupid they were pinning the blame on him and the exgf also broke down crying realizing what she's done to someone she realized she loves and took for granted. I don't remember Kayo following them on their date either because she felt super guilty for what she's done and just kept a distance (heck the 2nd arc of the series was her wanting to atone to Yuusuke for what she's done and he wanted none of it). We didn't meet Kotone's mother either, she was a real positive parental figure to Yuusuke in keeping him grounded into getting serious when with Kotone.

I guess this was a rushed comedic way of ending the story... going from here to the novel is really jarring though because of the change in tone.
