For a manga that tries to be serious with a 14 year age gap theme, I'd say 30 chapters is too short to flesh out the ending we want, needed more development. So this ending is fitting for me. Enjoyed reading it very much still.
certainly a cop out but it's not that bad, we all know she likes him but is a little bit afraid because of age diffrence, so even if its a bit sad we werent able to see them all lovey dovey its not bad ending over all
Thanks for the hard work. Love the stories you pick to work on. I’d say this is an alright ending - I do agree with your take on the ending. Also what happened with the dad plot point. Don’t really think he would’ve been cool with the outcome. I know he talked with his dad and got to stay and school etc but I can’t remember love being discussed there? Or am I misremembering?
