Wows. This was my favourite chapter so far. I liked every single page. First, Touma. I thought I would somehow like him less over time, but no, the mangaka kept him as nice a person as always. Touma is dabes <3 I don't want them to break up. They looked and felt so happy. :) And Kou, he made a lot of mistakes, but I think that now he's ready to move on, too :) Also, I felt Kominato. I've felt the way he felt so many times, and I felt so happy for him when she told him she doesn't like Kou 'that' way. And there were so many smiles in this chapter I just couldn't help but smile too and feel happy for them, but it might be that I was in a good mood to begin with. My favourite was Kou's smile <3 Anywaaay, I loved it and yaaay, yaaaaay, yippee yippeei yaaay!!!

boring

I'm starting to hate everyone (except Kou and Kominato), I feel awful reading this. Futaba x Touma disgusts me A LOT and I would be so disappointed if they end up together (which I think it's almost impossible), it's way too forced.

Yeah, exactly my thoughts.

The end with Kou really got me weepy eyed. Taking a step back from the romance troubles to center around the bonds that Kou has formed really bring me back to why I picked up the manga. The sunrise at that retreat was where this group really got their first proper step forward and it seems like this sunset is bringing their growth as friends full circle. It almost feels like this is the moment Kou has resigned himself from pursuing Futaba & let the sun set on those feelings. I know that's next to impossible, but the direction this has been going lately makes it incredibly hard to imagine how Futaba & Kou could end up together without putting a massive dent in all of these sweet moments with Touma.

Honestly this is a good stopping point for tonight. I wouldn't be too upset even if this was the last chapter.

Touma and Futaba's relationship isn't perfect nor the most healthy but it's not the worst either. Despite how almost unrealisticly perfect Touma is, it is realistic for a girl to move on to someone else maybe someone better or someone worse but moving on to someone else while still being weighed down by the past somewhat is realistic. Be happy in the present and remember the good times of the past. Honestly with all of these chapters with Futaba and Touma even if I felt like Futaba and Kou is and was always endgame I would be kinda upset if there isn't a good reason for Futaba to not stay with Touma. Like no matter if Futaba still likes Kou or not both Futaba and Touma are geniuning trying to make each other happy because their both good people deep down. Yes I get Touma having a couple red flags and being a bit manipulative but I feel his actions so far as her boyfriend and as a highschooler in love is reasonable. He's in love and wants her to feel the same and he's doing everything to make that happen and I feel that isn't evil even if it's not necessarily the right thing to do. He has a right to fight for love too just like how Yuuri did when she loved Kou. Also when Kou put someone pirotized that girl over Futaba and rejected her I think Touma had absoulutely every right to go for her and be there for her when Kou wasn't. All is fair in love and war as they say though I feel somethings aren't fair such as when someone is clearly in a relationship already. I'll admit again though Touma and Futaba's relationship isn't perfect and feels a bit one sided maybe? idk it doesn't hit the same as when Kou and Futaba are together. I just think Touma does deserve to be with the one he loves and has been doing his best in his own way to get that and that's ok. I want him to be happy even if he's not the one I ship. This is kinda weird honestly because usually when I like the second lead over the main I want that ship to sail the most but in this case I just want him to be happy and have a satisfying ending even if I don't ship him with Futaba as much as Kou. Honestly him being with Futaba while she still has feelings for Kou hurts. So please author either have her move on and be with Touma or have her break up with Touma so he can move on and find someone else and Futaba can be with Kou. This has been dragged on far too long where either way I would be a bit dissatisfied with how long it took.

Sorry for the yapping.
