@Jibirl This my friend is the same story this mangaka always delivers. A preteen romance manga if you will, where the biggest event is handholding and hugs. I wanted to see if it changed since Ranma and Inuyasha, I see it hasn't.
I guess the problem with this manga is there's too many unlikable characters. Like the father. The only reason it has this many chapters is because the author is Rumiko.
The only proper romance story Takahashi-sensei ever did was Maison Ikkoku. Everything else is a tease, though she did do a special Inuyasha chapter set years after the manga's end.
@ToddSama Urusei Yatsura had an ending with the character confessing his love for the main girl without verbally saying it (cause he is tsundere) and they kiss early on in the series. Plus there was a full color picture at the end of some editions of the manga where it shows the two main characters at the wedding alter.
Still not a whole lovey dovey romantic ending though.
Honestly, knowing the author I'm pretty satisfied with this ending XD. It was cute, and the series was fun overall. Once again, thank you so much to the people who scanlated this to the end, I'm glad I could complete reading this! ^w^
@NLight Is it only me but I don't care about kiss? Asians don't like kissing in public especially in the Sengoku era like Inuyasha. Kiss is not that important especially to older generations like Rumiko-sensei, it is marriage that is the most important. I have gone through 30 years of my life without seeing anyone kissed in real-life, only seen that in K-drama.
@miyako19 I understand how some Japanese might not notice someone doing it, seeing as they usually avoid looking at things they feel embarrassed about. But I was in Japan for only 2 years and I saw plenty of people doing it in public, Japanese and foreign. My problem is that no one goes through marriage without doing more than hand touching in the real world except if it's arranged. And we kind of follow these characters everywhere, even their private places, it's weird to see nothing but a "I like you" and hold hand end to a series. It barely feels like anything actually happened. Even Bakuman did something similar but at least that felt more genuine, like they actually liked and had feelings for each other. Rumiko-sensei's works often feel like a preschooler thinking about love.
Aye, I was expecting a "the adventure continues" type ending from the start, but the addition of them more or less dating is a good way to end it. It's a fun series, hope to see the finale animated one day.
