I think this is the final chapter. An interesting question that popped up imo is: the comparison between romantic and friendship love.

Interesting to see Takara High having a female student council president for the first time. That's quite a new beginning. Overall, thought the series was a fun ride.

I just caught up and thought I'd post.

I loved that one page future take...not many mangas will take that extra step. So they get married and have a kid.

That being said. I like how they didn't rush the relationship, but I definitely got the impression that she was dating him because she saw him as a friend, not a romantic interest. I didn't get that *doki doki* feeling at all. I guess in a way it's refreshing. It's not your typical Shoujo manga....but I just hoped for a *little* bit more progression in terms of her feelings, not a "eh, might as well even though I'm not interested in romance. Why the hell not?!"

8/10 for a refreshing cynical lead - loose two point for her obvious denseness even though she was supposedly the very observant one who knew everything

Soooo yeah, finally over. Eh, for a shoujo manga it was pretty average, and I didn't like main characters' development. They used to be way more cynical, ironic and sharp, and here in this series Tsubaki's personality was all about liking Kanoko and trying to get her romantic attention. Kanoko on the other hand didn't seem like she even liked Tsubaki that way right until the last few chapters.

This wouldn't even be such a big issue, if side characters had their own story arcs or something, but nope. Beside main couple there's barely anyone interesting, maybe only the school president Yabuki, or Momoka. But even they appear a few times every now and then, they don't have anything happening in their lives, it's all about Tsubaki x Kanoko all the time, booooring.

I enjoyed some of Kanoko's social observation, but the latter part of this series was something I've read in tens of other mediocre shoujo titles before. 5.5/10

That was a pretty cute ending. Kanako with long hair is pretty cute lol.

Overall, I'd say this is pretty disappointing, especially in comparison to its prequel. My biggest problem with this series is that it's really hard to root for Tsubaki and Kanoko's relationship until the end. He is jealous, paranoid and unbelievably possessive for most of this series, making it really hard to like him, much less want him to be in a relationship with Kanako. So yeah, the main relationship not being interesting for me is what really drags this series down, especially since Kanako doesn't even realise anything until the final 5 chapters.

Another thing that drags this series down is the lack of any story outside of Tsubaki and the president pining after Kanoko for the second half of this manga. The cynical commentary and solutions that Kanoko brought were the highlights of the prequel and the first part of this manga, so seeing that element fade away just made this really, really boring.
