Spoil the ending do they end up together yes or no and why

Solid work, has everything you'd want from a romance with drama as its focus. That said, I felt some characters deserved to be more fleshed out and have more of a closure:

Spoiler

1. Sam-Soon's situation after leaving Serizawa wasn't explained at all, the only thing we learn is that she rejected the proposal from the cheating dude, as mentioned by her friend, but no details regarding that. Being alone all that time before Serizawa got in touch with her again must have been very difficult for her but we don't get to see that apart from the very last page.
2. Serizawa's father situation got some attention towards the end, but it was never really shown what happened after he left his family and what kind of person his co-worker truly was.
3. Too little of interactions betweem Serizawa and Nana(the singer) were shown to justify her falling for him(that's just my take on it, could have been a love at first sight for what it's worth), also feel like she should have gotten more focus in that specific arc in general. Her getting back on track with song-writting was a nice detail though, considering she was told to write songs about heartbreak.
4. Serizawa's mother's past self was briefly mentioned/shown, but I feel like at least a flashback of how she was before she met her future husband and how she changed would have been interesting.

But I guess it's up to the author to leave some things up to imagination of readers and that's one of the nice things about art of any form.

I don't think Nana particularly fell for Serizawa, I feel like it was simply her way of coping with the situation. Maybe she was upset with little Nana getting her into that situation and slept with him to both comfort herself and vent her frustrations against her former friend

Also it's been a while since I've read but I just want to say

Spoiler

fuck the interviewer from the Sam-Soon arc, I hope he has ED and his wife cucks him and gives him a VD

What a disappointment

 

[PaceBaby]

This was absolute shit simply because the mc is fucking stupid, he’s impulsive, and he can’t make up his mind

I'm dumb.. Even though I read this, I have no idea if I missed it, if anyone can spoil me - Who was the girl on the phone?

Ah it's so realistic that it hurts. I can't say I like the main characters nor the girls in his past relationships but in the end, it's all about moving on. In a different way from the usual. Usually it's about getting over a relationship you once had but Forget me not is about taking your past relationships with you. Accepting yourself for your mistakes and realizing your own feelings about your significant other and taking a step forward with all of it.
But seriously though, I want to know more about what happened to the second girl. I don't remember her name being mentioned so I can really call her the blond sassy girl.

Reading this, I thought I would dislike Serizawa more than I did based on the comments. Granted, he is immature, impish, and impulsive and his attitude isn't always great, but to hate him is to look at the story in a very surface-level way. Serizawa is definitely not a perfect guy and he might not even be a very good guy, but with the exception of just one of the relationships in this story, he not only isn't the piece of shit people seem to believe he is but he's not even the piece of shit he thinks he is. Most of the major relationships of this book weren't even ruined because of him, they were ruined because the women he was seeing deliberately sabotaged it-- and in most cases, not even for especially good reasons if any at all --and didn't even have the decency to end things themselves and instead opted to say nothing until things became so inhospitable that he couldn't tolerate it anymore and ended it.

And you know how you can tell it wasn't all him? The last girl, who thrived with him, they had a good relationship that both sides were obviously looking forward to progressing and then... bam, she liquidates her life one day and tells him "Lets break up" over the phone, purely at random and even though he apparently ends up with her at the end, we still have no idea why she bugged out. But what we learn at the end is that not only is Serizawa not as bad as he or the reader is supposed to think, but none of the girls he attempted to date were victims of anyone but themselves and the last girl doubly so and she doesn't deserve him. Despite his flaws, Serizawa is obviously a better person than she is and the fact that she refused to even tell him why she bugged out reinforces that.

Quite frankly, the only girl worth a shit in his life is the only one he actually hurt himself, and that was a mistake of youth. Honestly, if anyone in this entire story actually deserved to be with Serizawa, it was the Prince who was a legit good person.

comments like these are the reason mangaka continuously write horrible main characters... the same story can be told with a main that has flaws but still has boundaries and self respect... its almost like the audience, prob mainly female teens, cant enjoy a realistic male and need them to be pathetic... pathetic man = good man, when in reality we know that not to be the case
