I’m majorly disappointed that Ryuji never got a second arch and was pretty much sidelined for much of the second half of this manga. The complete lack of closure is what is really preventing me from loving this series. We didn’t even see his future plans, let alone anything like coming out to his family that he has feeling for Makoto, although I do get the feeling his loving family would have been completely supportive in this regard. It still would have been nice to have a nod in this direction even if ultimately he would have to take a back seat to hero/heroine of the story. That said the final chapter does sort of resolve nothing, so at least I can be happy in the fact no one is going to be happy. My hope is that the animators realise this major short coming and deviate from the plot accordingly. Perhaps then this will truly be a masterpiece it had the potential to become but fell so short in practice.
