...Wow. That might be the most wrong I've ever been about how a series would end. I was sure the harem would never actually happen, and I was pretty confident that he would end up with Rei somehow.
Also, dude only made it to sixty? That's it? Even my extremely unwell father made it to sixty-two.
(I'm assuming that not much time passed, as the granddaughters looked the same.)
I'm not sure that the series earned such a melancholy ending, especially considering how little Rei had appeared in the final chapters, but it was still touching all the same. Rei was always the most interesting character, and I appreciate that there's still some mystery to her even at the end.
It may not be a true classic, but I'm glad I read this.
