I lost the ability to care from the moment the guy forced his way into MC's bag uninvited and caused a scene simply because he saw a store name he knew. Absurd beyond my suspension of disbelief.
A shame, it was a decent read up until then. I'm not really surprised, though. Manga seem to be rushing to the finish these days even after long, well told stories. As anyone who read the recently finished Tomo-chan should know all too well.
