| THIS IS A MANGA ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS ANYTHING BEYOND THIS CHAPTER. ---------------------------------------- Wasn't that spectacular to me. The ending was okay, but considering how many times I got bored... I'll give this series a 6/10 Looks like he died as expected.. but meh. |
| ^^ no that cant be the twins cuz they actually appear in the manga yori was takuma kouhai and I think takuma survive but up to interpretion since it can just be an imagination of his will |
 Wee~! |
| I dislike open-to-interpretion endings in general and this is no exception. I think it would be better if he died. The author stretched the story longer than what I would've liked. How many times do they have to cry and say they love each other? I did not care much until Kou started having that headache. I think everyone knew what was going to happen after that. I was interested in the possibility of Takuma receiving the transplant and everyone going "aahhhh that's Kou heart". But it didn't happen :( There's not much to say about this series... |
| i agree about the stretched story, but i still really liked this manga. its one of the only shojo i've read |
  |
| ok... i planned to read this manga but the summary felt like its a sad story... or rather a sad ending... i'm ok with a sad story .. just not a sad ending haha... so i read this first to see if the ending was ok.. ( haha.. i NEED A HAPPY ENDING! my heart just can't take sad endings.. hahaha) and it seems that he died or something (meaning sad) so.. nevermind haha... |
| I'm gonna go a bit against the grain here and say that, although it would be easier to have a clear ending, the ending intentionally left ambiguous actually works better for this particular story. You can view it as reality, what Takuma dreamed would happen, what Mayu was envisioning happening... Its almost like the end of The Giver... you put your own interpretation into the story. And I think that for a story like this, where you have so many people hoping the treatment worked, so many people hoping for the "realistic" harsh reality ending... I think having it end this way allows you to put your own spin on the story and decide what you think makes sense. I think... he lived. But I think the future she shows us isn't necessarily what really happens, but what Takuma's dream was, hence the black background on all the pages. That would account both for the "dream like" drawn feel of the final few pages while making it extremely plausible he lived. |
| i really liked it the whole manga.. i cried soo it really moved me... i also think that the end means they he lived. it was his imagination but it also really happend that what i think... i loved the manga... and yes it was a sad story but i really liked it... |

 K-ON v1.1 ... Please leave you comments on my profile! ^_^ |
| I refuse to believe this was anything other than a happy ending. My heart won't be able to take it. Overall yeah the manga did go on a boy, but I still found it enjoyable. |
| The ending was ambiguous. |

I still really liked it though. (guess its just cuz it was one of my first shojo lol) |
| |
| I really loved this manga! I would still rate this 10 even if Takuma died but he didn't, so..yay! XD The story really moved me and this is the only manga that affected me so much that I cried. It made me appreciate my life and to thank God that I was born healthy and that I should do whatever I can because I'm lucky enough to have the ability to. I'm just wondering what happened to Kou-sama and the others. It would've been really nice if there's a story about them in the end as well. |
| It's not a cliffhanger ending. If he had died, it would have been a completely straight line. It never showed a flat line on the ECG, which shows his heart has stopped. What it DID show was his heart beginning to beat normally again, illustrated by the steady wavelengths on the ECG monitor plus a heart rate of 83, showing his heart had recovered.  Sure, the zoomed in part faded into white. I suppose that created slight ambiguity, but not strong enough in my opinion. Also, the manga-ka built up suspense on who the father of the children was, then revealing Takuma, which just further confirms that he lived. Even the manga-ka confirmed he lived in her interview. So yeah, it's actually not an ambiguous ending, pretty cut and clear. NB: In case some of you didn't get it, the pictures of Mayu swimming, being pregnant, getting married, their kids etc. at the part where she read the will was what actually happened, not a dream. |

Oh my, i'm so happy to read your post! I had doubt, about him surviving, looking into ECG, so i had to read last chapter a few times, to clear it. But also reading this post, made my heart race quite fast! :-) |
| He is alive, the mangaka has stated this after many many fans kept pestering her. I too am happy that this is the case. |

| Sigh. What a nice heartwarming conclusion. Brilliantly done, kept us on the edge of our seats until the very end. |
  |
| I thought it was great~ I agree with the stretched story, but it was engaging throughout. :) WHAT HAPPENED TO KOU-SAMA?! I was hoping there'd be an extra about him. ;-; |
| Predictable |
| Even when I was in crowd, I was always alone |
| It's an open ending to me. One of my favourite shoujo manga though simply because the story is somewhat different. The thing I find irritating about shoujo manga is the constant hurt and tears but this manga was okay for me. |
| 5/10. Some moments were good, Takuma and Mayu's relationship was cute, but otherwise, it wasn't that great. Many moments were pretty annoying and repetitive to be honest. And, I don't understand why some even doubted about this ending, it was clear he survived :O |
Mentalii said: And, I don't understand why some even doubted about this ending, it was clear he survived :O |
A story has no beginning or end; arbitrarily one chooses that moment of experience from which to look back or from which to look ahead. |
| I'm going to assume he survived and those dreams were fulfilled. I think he ending was ambiguous in some ways but definitely not...(cough) predictable. Shame we didn't get to see an image of Kou in the finale chapter despite what he's been through also. 7/10. |
 |
| i am pretty sure he is dead... i man at the beginning when they made the promise there was a text with " but i couldnt fullfill it" |
| My favorite quotes from animes: Those who seek miracles will never experience one. The hand of salvation only extends to people who try to make miracles happen. - Ef a tale of melodies. I destroy worlds. I create worlds. - Code geass We are humans. - Shinsekai yori 100 push-ups, 100 sit-ups, 100 squats, and a 10km run EVERY SINGLE DAY!!! - One punch man |
| I think he's alive. Well, IMO Kou was the best character in this manga... I liked his girlfriend a lot too. Geez, just when he moved on... I knew what was going to happen since I watched the live action first, but I was sad anyway. I don't really ~love~ shoujo and even tho I read it in two days I was rolling my eyes several times. There were times they were too immature even for high schoolers and argh... too many chibis. There were really heartbreaking moments that were ruined by the overuse of chibis. Well. I gave it a 7, but I may change it later. Not sure. |

| Was chapter 67 the last chapter because if it was I'm going to die |
| It was boring, I would give it 4/10. I hate the fact that the author just far-stretched the story for so long when it could easily have ended in just 20-25 chapters. There are a lot of cliche and cringy scenes too like when the male lead points Starting pistol towards his head in public and broad day light yet somehow only female lead manage to see him. Like I know dude you are depressed and all, but please try to control your edgeness. -and the generic love triangle scenario. When Mayu starts going out with Kou dude and they start kissing each other, I felt really weird about that. It was like watching those NTR that leaves bad taste and I laughed when he breaks up with her or she breaks up with him which all happened in the background. It ended abruptly and felt unnecessary. This is why I hate LTs in shoujo because it just feels too damn unrealistic some handsome guy out of nowhere falls for the female lead, I prefer my Kare Kano, Mars and Lovely Complex which are free from such cancerous elements. -As for the ending, so much build up and it ended it like that. Although, I know for sure that the guy died because of the ECG and the live action move too has a sad ending. |
 |
| I'm going to go against what seems to be the majority opinion and say that this manga really sucked. First, I don't like how Kou's end wasn't fully elaborated (did he ever wake up, if not - how long did he remain brain dead before passing away?) although I don't mind that the main couple's love story remained ambiguous. However, I felt that the writer did a really poor job in tackling serious issues which would come off as really insensitive for people in those situations. The drama felt contrived and the writing was poor. For example, the fact that Mayu was sexually harassed was almost completely brushed over - just to give Takuma a "hero" moment. The boys involved in pulling off her swimsuit were never addressed afterward. Even if they never received punishment - as most cases never do in real life - I would have appreciated if the writer took some time to depict Mayu as mortified by the event rather than rush into the romantic encounter in the infirmary. Furthermore, the use of side characters like their parents and Teru-chan were all cringe-worthy at best. I could've used my time better reading something else. 5/10 for an unrealistic drama and genuinely unlikable couple. Fellow readers may not agree with me but that's okay. We're all entitled to our own opinions and I, for one, prefer to have standards. |
| These faces are so cute that I might just leave them here (#`Д´)´∀`)･ω･) ﾟДﾟ)ﾟ∀ﾟ)･∀･)￣ｰ￣)´_ゝ`) |
| I enjoyed this manga but some parts were so unnecessarily frustrating to me. |
