Ultimately, I thought I'd sympathize more with Michiru, but I didn't. For most of the manga, I was left with a bitter taste in my mouth because of the messed up things she did to Maya. After all the betrayals and abandonment, I still wish Maya had more self-love/respect so she wouldn't go back to the person who hurt her so much. I usually get annoyed when a male love interest appears for the characters in a GL manga. In this case, I even wish Maya had resolved her issues and broken up with her former classmate; he deserved her much more than Michiru did.
