I dislike the ending, but not because it's misguided but because it wasn't presented in the best way. I get the idea that IF they both had greener pastures in life it'd be a good idea to go seperate ways and maybe see one-another again. But, I didn't buy Shin's situation, he just had a regular 20-30$hr highrise job, nothing that big to lose. Sure he might lose friends and his culture of japan, but the manga failed to present that dynamic earlier.

Ending was a bit pretentious honestly, like the author realized too late what the story could've been. But I'm fine with it, the characters were great and it was a good drama. Like an anti-thesis to Brave New World

Even though the story isn't particularly deep and the sex scenes feel more like smut than drama, I couldn't put this down until the end. The ending was disappointing, but at least it didn't feel abrupt.

Really bittersweet. I feel like they won't actually met again, as Kano is probably not going to come back. The way that when he asked when she would be back, she replied by asking him to come wither her, and then the tears in her eyes when he said no. Idk tho. Thats just how i saw it

I really enjoyed the entire manga, very good story in an adult oriented package.
In hindsight, I wanted a little less sex scene, in favour of a little more story and developments . Especially the panels with the orgy and the guys screwing the girls who were pictured as mere instruments. Those parts really disgusted me.
The end left something to desire, The showdown with the auntie took berely 1 chapter and them without even keeping in touch for 3+ years for then go in separate ways anyway, with the promise to meet again one day. Those open endings really upsets me so much >.<

However, exept the 2-3 point that I mentioned the manga was really really good, it really hooked me and I read it in berely 3 hours, the entire story got me hard

I gave it 9/10, would have been 10 with an actual happy ending

I don't know why people are saying that she won't be back, I mean she is gonna teach management on branching office, which doesn't take a year.

It is still a bummer for me that we haven't got the epilogue because the author went AWOL.

Exactly. I will continue to force myself to think that they are definitely going to met again and have a long and happy life together.

That’s for sure. I’m happy to see that she is still seeing Nitta’s brothers more than three years later.

But yeah, except that I must sat that for long (for a lot of chapters at least since I finish it in one day) I didn’t really love that manga more than that and I hesitate to drop it since I was worried that the end would just kind of frustrate me and that I won’t enjoy it but I’m happy that I’ve finish it and that the end wasn’t one of the kind that I was worry about. (The fact that I push myself to read it in one day helped me to finish it I think. I don’t think I would have continued the next day.)

a bittersweet ending with their emotions conveyed without any need to utter the magic words.I have fell in love with the mangaka on how she deals with her pacing of her story even when it is cliched at its core

I don't like this ending and I don't understand it. The work and career is only the source of money to live, they easily can live together and both have career.

He even can work in her company and support her in her family business. The trustworthy man on high ranked position is what she need.

On top of that they both have feelings to each other. So I don't see any reason to not marry.

This manga was unexpectedly beautiful. I was expecting it to be purely borderline hentai, but it turned out it had a complicated story. At one point early on I almost dropped it because I thought there was no depth. But I started loving it more and more slowly. And somehow it turned into such a sweet story about Nitta and Kano and how they hit their lowest points possible. But the most blissful moments were seeing Nitta and Kano in the last chapters, together not because of the debt or to fill a void but because finally they realised they wanted and needed each other.

This ending was bittersweet, but made sense. I guess I would've liked an ending where after three years they just got together less, after I think about it. What I would really like is like an epilogue chapter even years later, maybe 5 years after Kano left, where they've got all their affairs in order and are ready to start a relationship, get married, live their lives together.

I really wish we could see that, but that's just a pipe dream I guess. Not sure if this is a 7 or an 8. But thoroughly enjoyed it, and will now see this author's other works!

Well if she’s teaching at a branch office, she will likely be back within a year. She also states that she barely speaks English, so it’s unlikely she’s actually relocating. Not to mention, her goal is to take over the company from her father. She’s coming back 100%. I will admit, they make her look like she isn’t because she seems extra sad about him saying he can’t go.

As for the time skip, they obviously weren’t in a relationship like they want to be, but I’d bet they were doing what they had been during the manga. He said he didn’t change his number so I think she’s been calling him up here and there, why else would he be thinking of changing his number? He continues to pretend to be annoyed, but he clearly loves it when she calls. I think the mature relationship is what’s on hold, they know how they feel, but Kano was too busy to focus on a relationship with school.

That’s my understanding of the ending. Really good for the genre, 9/10. Had me finish it in one sitting because I didn’t want to put it down.

Usual annoying endings with any kind of "romance" genre manga, so often there is a timeskip where the pair is kept apart for some dumb arbitrary reason and this is no exception. Overall story was absurd of course but given the content that isn't exactly a much of a problem. This final chapter does irritate me though. Can't learn business and have a boyfriend at the same time... millions of people go to school and date you know. Artificial drama.

Definitely bittersweet, but it's a great ending nonetheless. Don't get me wrong, I would also love to see them get together. But given the context of how much Japanese value their work in real life, I think the ending is logical.

But man, I can't say I didn't cry like a bitch!

This is as average as you can get. Felt like nothing really happened until the end. All it did was kill three hours of my time, which I appreciate. Did get some boners here and there but that's about it. You might think that the ending isn't good for you, but it certainly is in my perspective. And that's the reason why it didn't touch the negatives.

A doujin could've done it better in about 200 pages.

5/10.

Really loved the character development, sadly the force ending kinda put me off. If you have feelings for somebody, you just don't time skip 3 years just to tell them that you are going even far away, also i don't know why they quickly wrapped it up like that, it felt very rushed. I was in this 100% for the characters, and boy they delivered, sadly the ending was a low point. 8/10

I don't think it's necessarily a "rushed" or a "bad" ending. Considering how much value Japanese people give to their work, it's believable why Shin didn't choose to live with Kanoko at the end. But man, do I wish for them to get together! I really do hope that they ended up together. Really.

I don't understand, imagine sacrificing the probable love of your life, so you can continue working. What is the point of even working then, if you let your life pass you by. Boy that's eerie.

Well, it doesn't make much sense when we see it from our point of view. But try to perceive this from the perspective of a typical Japanese salaryman. To him, work matters more than almost everything in the world (kind of). The author herself, I believe, has said that. This explains why Shin decided to stay in Japan and continue his work. That's not all, though, as he did this for the welfare of Kanoko as well.

By the way, chances are that they do end up together after a while.

Good grief, after all those awful craps,
fair developments did happened to the MCs.
Although, personally, the open ended resolution was a letdown for me. Truly a wasteful "Time-Skip".
