| Really ?... Wow , with Mao at the beginning i thought she would be something new and original and get out of the cliched "childhood friend that comes back and falls in love with main character" but i guess not. She can be used to describe what i think about this show. Everyone has their preferences for couples of course , and i really enjoyed all the Futami X Kazuki stuff but the other couple ? : way to drag Hoshino around for about 20+ episodes just to drop her in the last few minutes... All in all a very cliched show , with way too many easy predictions. I can`t say I didn`t enjoy it since I felt empathy for Hoshino and rage against Mao , so at least this show didn`t leave me indifferent . I`ll give it 8/10 just for Futami X Kuzaki who were the couple that brought this show out of the gutter. |
     |
| Kazuki is a better person and a better story than Kouichi, and yes i skip Kouichi's arc more |
 |
| well,I'm happy at the ending,,yeah, a it's predictable.. because I enjoyed a lot... 10/10 |

| Undoubtedly Kazuki was the best character! Mao and Kouichi: I love you ... to find someone better. |
 |
| Kuzaki X Futami FOREVER! Kouichi X Mao FUCK BOTH OF THEM! I feel sorry for both Yuumi and Kai. :( 7/10 |
 |
| As others have said, predictable ending ect. But its a ending i enjoyed watching play out. I feel bad for Hoshino but i think she'll get over it fairly quickly, shes stronger than she was before, Kai is also incredibly strong willed, so theres no problem there either. Thinking i'll be giving this a 8/10, would've given it a 9 but there was too many things that just annoyed me, the writers, some of the story ect. Didn't hate any of the characters though, Art and music was fine. Might drop it down to 7 later on but we'll see. Enjoyed this show in any case, glad i watched it, was slow going at the start, watched 2 episodes then i stopped and watched like 2 different shows as i was bored o.O only truely got hooked around ep 9-10ish. |

| I didn't want it to happen, but can't help but be happy that it did :) Lovely ending. Loved how Kazuki ended with Futami, and Sakino had a cute end last week too :D Happy with Mao and Kai being all friendly now, and he seems to be doing well, fluffy apron and all. Yuumi. What the hell. She hardly seemed very upset at all. ehh. Maybe i'm not remembering it clearly, it was all of about half an hour ago. I loved her and Kouichi, and all could have been rectified by a couple of tears towards the end :P paha i'm a horrible person. Kouichi and Mao. Wow, well i never wanted it to happen. I hated that she was in love with someone who considered her their sister, but somehow, he did the right thing and told Yuumi very well, and he looked so cool jumping over the fence at somepoint that I have to forget all my negatives about it :S I didn't like the whole he had been lying to himself blahh, after watching 23 episodes of him being really into Hoshino, with just slight things towards the end that seemed a bit cheap. But the I love you Mao-NEECHAN, somehow made it all better. |
| That was a great episode! I especially loved when Futami got hit by that bus...Oh wait that is what I wanted to happen. |
Well one thing I've learned from this experience, is that a princess is still a princesss even when she is naked. |
| I give it a 8. The series was good and the ending was alright. |
 |
| This episode did all the things it needed to do imo. It was a strong ending. Yuumi's fawewell to Kouichi was emphatic and Mao certainly needed to find some happiness, even if was from progressively stronger Kouichi. I enjoyed the series, and thought it had a lot of good moments with a strong cast of characters done the right way, however cliche they may have been. 9/10 |
| I for one didn't thought the ending was that bad to be honest. I am glad Kouichi dumped Hoshino, those two were so boring together. Acting shy around each other all the time didn't do it for me. (though it got slightly better near the ending, might be because Hoshino was moving soon) I mostly skipped those scenes, either way on the other hand I thought Kazuki and Fatumi were great together. The only person I felt bad for was Sakino, but she'll be fine I s'ppose. The ending was cliche, point taken, but it could've been predicted from the start/mid-way through the series that Kouichi would end up with Mao. I think they'd match quite well, as been seen throughout the anime. I am especially happy for Mao, since she somehow was being left out in the last-episodes. 8/10 for me. |

| Mao was the right call, but waht was Kazuki thinking? The fun, energetic, athletic Sakino or the quiet, weird, nerdy Futami? Sakino got screwed in this series. What a shame. |
| Ending could of been better. Happy it ended with the couples I wanted, but the downside was how Kouchi and Mao barley had anytime showing their relationship, at least one episode of them being together would of made it complete for me. The story was alright, but the beginning was a total bore for me, especially since I've watched many drama and romance animes that are more tensed than this, but the last few episodes made it interesting. I dropped this anime once because of the first few episodes, but after re watching this, I don't regret it :) . I'm going to read the manga, but I'm sure I've completed this before, but I don't recall, lol. Seemed very familiar when I was watching this. Overall it was good, the last few episodes though, and a little of the middle. I liked how they did the movie, all of them should of watched it together. 6.5/10 = 7/10 *Rounded* But probably a solid 7. |
tag©.androgynous  |
| I don't liked the end with was so predictable. I cryed so badly because of yuumi. T.T Poor Yuumi, i wanted her with him in end is so unfair. T_T |
Sobzob said: Ahahahahahaha hahaha Hahaha. Awful show, 5/10. Thats quite harsh, i wouldn't say awful it's more like predictable has hell since the 2nd or 3th episode Overall i give it a 7\10 |
| Aw man the ending... It shouls have had 1 more episode to see how it al went a few years later and stuff. And it's great that Kouichi and Mao are together but Kazuki should be with Asuka and not with Eriko.... :( |
       |
| honestly, i can relate to this anime and i can't remember how many times i almost cried during the last few episodes... [almost being a lie, of course] in the end, this made me realize something. in love, there will always be someone that will get hurt... it's just a simple part of it. but you shouldn't give up, you'll never know when you might get another chance. just like mao and sanada... tl;dr: love is a risk... kimikiss showed everyone that. :D 10/10 -for me, at least.. |
| huft.. I hated this anime!!! first i rate it 7/10 and.. after watch in the end of stories.. Kouichi chose Mao.. i rate it 2/10.. Poor Hoshino-san.. but i like Kazuki-san ending.. Finaly.. Futami-san realize her feeling for Kazuki... i hate this anime!! |
 |
| Good Ending but in the end three people hurt :( |
 |
| to be honest i dunno how to feel about this ending. I was rooting for mao and koichi, but i feel sorry for yumni. Kinda sad its finished though, |
     |
| Alright good show. Hoshino and Kai are good sports, and I wanted Koichi and Mao. The only problem I had is Sakino. She deserved someone. I think it would have been easier to write in a Futami is okay alone (not suppose to sound mean) and Kazuki and Sakino end up together. That's the only thing that kept it from getting a 10. |
| I had mixed feelings for the series. The beginning started okay as the relationships became evident. But then it dragged on for a bit... The last 3 minutes of this episode really ended it. I also felt that Sakino too should have been with someone but it was a tough choice if I was Kazuki. I'd give this a 7.5. |
 |
| mixed feelings too...i feel kinda bad for yuumi and sakino,and i hope too that kazuki didn't end up with eriko...but i was hoping from the time that mao dated kai that kouichi will be with her in the end than kai... |
| I, too, had mixed feelings overall about the series while watching it. That is, feeling irritated as well as going "yay!!" when it went "my way", which it did often times, seeing as it was fairly predictable in the long run. (Not that it bothers me seeing as I liked the way it unfolded and how it was written). When all is said and done, what I liked the most about this series was the character development. Yuumi went from a shy girl to a quite out-going, stronger person. Kai irritated me at first, while in the end I found myself symphatizing with him. Futami got less cold and you could symphatize with her as well - the list goes on and on, and really getting to know the characters and their backgrounds was enjoyable. Of course it saddened me to see Kouichi and Yuumi break up, not to mention seeing Kai and Sakino ending up alone, but that's the way it should have gone as well. I think Sakino was my favourite female character, yet I wished for Kazuki to get together with Futami, which happened in a most fabulous manner. I do agree that Kouichi went from bearable (the beginning) to likeable (mid-series) to quite annoying and wimpy (few last eps before this final ep), but I really like it how he stepped up in the end. I don't think it's fair to hate on him; he did the right thing for not hurting the girl she was going out with any further and telling her the truth about liking Mao, even if it hurt Yuumi at that time. It's not like Kouichi cheated on her or anything. I did sense the Kouichi x Mao outcome coming quite early into the series, even though, funnily enough, Kouichi didn't really show much (romantic) interest towards Mao until the last few eps. Well, he was a wimpy guy after all. So in the end, I think this show was quite fabulous for its not-overtly-happy and more "realistic" approach to things, and even though my favourite character (Sakino) and the other two likeable characters (Yuumi & Kai) didn't get a happy ending - I think the pairings worked out just like I wanted them to work out, and the "losers" grew in the process as well. Sadness and love in a nice balance. I do think that the series was of very high quality (production-wise) as well, so it enhanced things further! If only they focused more on Kuryuu and Shijou, especially, for whom I felt sorry for despite her positive outlook on things. ;< Maybe I'm just an overly romantic person and a die-hard fan of sloooow romance-series, but this one gets a 9/10 from me. |

| Just finished.. I have mixed feelings about the ending. I wanted Kazuki to be with Sakino, it only makes sense since they have quite a bit in common. But instead, it's all about the quiet, non-talkative and unfriendly Futami he ends up with. It's to be expected that Kouchi ends up with Mao. Typical "childhood-friend ends up with childhood-friend" ending. I was sad that Yuumi-san didn't end up with Kouchi, even though she "said" she had a lot of fun. If anything, it should have ended with a not-so-predictable ending. What annoyed me the most is how pathetic the main character was. Kouchi, who has initial feelings for Yuumi-chan, keeps getting confused throughout 23.5 episodes. He doesn't know how he feels for 23.5 episodes. Seriously? Grow some balls man. Oh wait, let's do that in the last 5 minutes of the 24th episode. A girl who's as perfect as Yuumi-chan has to find out after 23.5 episodes that her boyfriend doesn't love her? -_- |

| The ending was so predictable. Too bad Kouichi and Yumi broke up. Someone should burn Kouichi... He been pissing me off for the last few episode.Aleast Futami and Aihara finally together at the end. |
 |
| nee-san (sister), lover and childhood friend came back after only 2 years but pathetic hero didn't recognized him.. great. then pathetic hero and heroine thought they r brother and sister, so heroine helped him to get new girlfriend, while pathetic hero helped her to get a new boyfriend. awesome. pathetic hero and heroine were so happy but after sometime heroine thought she's lying to everyone, so she dumped the big guy, but pathetic hero was doing really great with his new girlfriend. in last ep, he suddenly realized that he is also lying to everyone, so he dumped his girlfriend and come back to pathetic heroine. the most amazing thing was pathetic hero new girlfriend was also lying to herself and everyone. because when pathetic hero told her, i'm sorry, now get the hell out of here, she said, oh come on. i already knew that. you don't need to say sorry or anything. i'm not feeling sad, even though i was crying on my transfer to new school, but now that you dumped me officially. i realized, my feelings were lying. i just wanted to have a good time and a good kiss. so don't mind me and go to your heroine, pathetic hero-san. what a great story, i'm really moved. The only thing i liked in this series was Aihara and Futami. great pairing. otherwise this series was a pure 1/10 from me. |

| Kouichi is such an ass to dump Yuumi and went for Mao. WHAT A JERK! |

Ragnarok428 said: I loved this anime overall but i thought the ending was so sad. Mainly because i was rooting for Sakino and Yuumi. It seems like in the end, the ones who did the most damage to those around them were the ones who got the happy endings. Mao and Kouichi both got a boyfriend, girlfriend whom they spend most of the series with, only to abandon them near the end for someone else with almost no development between them (the last frigging episode for poor Yuumi!). And then you've got Futami, who was a total user and a-hole to Aihara the whole series, while Sakino was quietly trying her best to get Aihara to notice her and not be unfair to him. And then there is Kai who i didn't like very much at the start but he became a really outstanding man by the end of the story with the way he handled everything Mao did to him. And, none of them, not Yuumi, Sakino or Kai got anything in the end. At least Sakino and Kai took it with a smile on their face and a new resolve, but poor Yuumi looked like she would die of misery. What a way to spend your last day at a school, with a guy who is deciding he doesnt love you anymore and has found someone new. The overall show was still very good but the ending hurt so much. Yuumi forever!! <3 Lol i felt the same. I think sakino and yuumi deserved a happy ending but guess they dont get it. But this is a VN adaption and the people who directed this show basically decided the ending couples. (too bad every adaption never ends the way i want it too) |
|
| 5/10 I was able to finish it but man it got boring at the end. it took that long for him and Mao and Ihara and Futami to get together? Hoshino just kind of faded away, she knew but it didn't even really bother her. I preferred Sakino but I guess he never had interest in her besides as a friend. never got to see much of their movie. again this wasn't anything bad.... it just wasn't very good either. |
 |
| yey !!.. im glad that Kouchi ended up with Mao .. because if not, i will be sulking again for 2 weeks like the time i watched School days .. i love mao,,she's my favorite girL in this series and also futami .. |
| Wow, I didn't expect it to end in this fashion. anyways, very good series in general, i'd give it a 8.5/10 for the whole anime (rounded up its 9/10 ;]) Love the series, finished it in a week and a half. Loved the couple pairings, figured this would happen. Another thing was the montage at the end. amazing. showed all the key moments in the romance story throughout the whole anime loved it. Another anime completed ! I'm glad i choose to watch this :D  |
megara said: That. All the people I liked in the anime (Yuumi, Sakino, Kai) got screwed over. I'd like to think that those three found someone better and lived happily ever after while the two couples lived miserably afterwards. I disliked this anime.. I thought I was going to get something like the manga or Amagami SS but what a mistake I made. I hate this kind of love swings and sudden change of hearts.. Now I'm going to read the manga where I can truly hopefully see the happy endings I wanted (Yuumi x Kouichi and Mitsuki x Kouichi). |
Apologies, I just can't avoid to rant. |
