| THIS IS A MANGA ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS ANYTHING BEYOND THIS CHAPTER. ---------------------------------------- It's over. Finally. Komai and Ruka get their happily ever ending like expected, I thought Yaji's dilemma was more interesting for a guy trying so hard to get laid. MAL has this manga at 60 chapters, I guess we'll see another epilogue featuring the rest of the characters? |
| Hmm, it would be good if an epilogue would exist, but I don't think that's going to happen. I guess we will have to wait and see if that appears. Still, yeah, it's finally over. It's been quite a ride... still, this is probably the first manga I've been following since the first chapter was translated (not to mention this is one of the first manga I've read) until the end, so I feel a tad nostalgic now xD Even if it might not mean anything, thanks to all the translators who put their hours into this and brought it to an end! EDIT: And I think I found out what's with the 60th chapter. I think it's the oneshot - it's been included in the chapter count. |

| yes! they finally translated all of it im so happy theyre finally god damn together finally got past all the misunderstanding bull shit and did it! ;D |
| The way the first half of the series went, I was honestly expecting to give this series a 10/10. The first half was just the light-hearted romantic development between two people. But then there was drama. Lots of drama. Facepalm-worthy drama. Despite that, I'm not completely heartless. The romance that finally happened at the end was almost worth dealing with all that melodrama. If the characters weren't as amazing as they are, my opinion of this manga would be much lower than now, but the realism, development, and consistency within the characters were amazing. 8/10, a solid score for a series that started amazingly for me, but fell flat at the halfway point. |

| The drama was the best part of Hetakoi! The proganist got tired of chasing the girl he loved... and hooked up 'seriously' with some other girl. The drama was great! Beats the all the generic alternatives where the guy chases one girl from start to finish... and finally gets the girl. First half, including some of the drama was the best part for me.. |
| I really love this series. The drama was great and the romance was cute. Hetakoi get's a 10/10 from me. Loved it from start to finish. |
 |
| I really enjoyed this manga 9/10... Good series |
 |
| So what happened to the little brother and the neighborhood girl? |
| Even when I was in crowd, I was always alone |
| Not the best series out there but still a nice read. 7/10 for me. I really wanted to see future works of this author but he passed away a couple of months after finish it. |
 |
| It started out pretty good however the compilation of misunderstanding after misunderstanding for like 95% of the series just soured the experiences... I don't know, was ok but ... that is about it. Ale1212 said: Not the best series out there but still a nice read. 7/10 for me.

And if that's true the credit's page for the last chapter is pretty damn sad http://www.mangahere.com/manga/hetakoi/c059/23.html Basically says "thank you for reading and look forward to the author's next work" T.T |

| grandpa might be one of the most boner-killing nicknames ever |
| I was instantly hooked to this series after the 1st chapter. I thought that I was giving this a 10 but the volumes 4,5 and 6 came. It was horrible for me. Those misunderstanding - I want to slap myself!! Haha. But fortunately, it immediately redeemed itself after those terrible chapters. Good read :D 8/10 |
| This was a great read - got me hooked all the way through. The low points of the series was pretty much the same as everyone though - could have done without the whole 'friends' bullshit and immediately introduce the scene towards the end that eventually led them to end up together. 'Grandpa' started out strong but got pretty weak especially in the middle of the manga towards the end. Thought he had the balls but he seemed to lose some of his character after going out with Shimazu. Yuu and Kotone's relationship came in way too late at a point where I'm just reading for the sake of wanting to see Shizuka and Ruka together, and it made the chapters even longer. Overall - 8/10 |
| That was a great manga! Despite 2 to 4 make me mad chapters and the 2 frustrating volumes(5 & 6) everything turned out great. RIP NAKANO Junko, thx for your last good work. And me know this mangaka can't really blame Grandpa for the misunderstanding the situation that happened in the manga because I know this Mangaka likes doing that, and in the past in a worse much more rage inducting ways. Besides that the chapter was great again; the good points for me were: The final chapter was really hot!, Ruka for her hottest summer she deserved. That was funny when Ruka commented, Why do you have condoms when you were adamant about not having sex till he can provide for her. Grandpa finally became the man he was again! Sweet! & The cheery on top was Ruka revealing she was still a virgin, letting go all of his former worries. Grandpa was a Grandpa to the end! and a good one at that! I knew it! Saki liked Yaji from that one trip they went to before! I was right before!, She seems like a Female Grandpa but glad Yaji and Saki are a seal deal! Other confirmed couple were Nachi and boyfriend! lol And Yuu and Kotono, I just know they will end up together with the time they spend together. Anyway Great Read! Loved the Twins! |
| This one is my favorite romance-manga. Too pity it is over with 59 chapters. There were times where I thought just how silly can you be, Grandpa and Ruka. Are finally honest and talk with each other. Then it woudn't have any problems given...in the beginning. Grandpa was also far too kind. He should have kicked Rukas Senpai in the ass and not fed him all the time. The whole drama thing was nerve-wracking and stupid at the same time, but never mind. Ruka showed very often how much she cares for Komai and this was worth all strains. The end corresponded precisely to my images. It was completely satisfyingly. |

| I am really enjoy this manga, but it also disappointing to me because they only show the good part last 4 chapter (when they're together). I mean, I think that it would be great if only Komai and Ruka get together in the middle of the series. |
| This is an absolute piece of shit. A banal female lead, immutable male protagonist, heavily misogynistic elements, convenient plot progressions... this is withal without the mention that the majority of the latter drama was driven by a contrived, unrealistically depicted, poorly paced, dragged-out, cliched, and uninspired misunderstanding situation. And all the side characters were fleshed out sorta okay too: though it all felt so half-baked and arbitrary considering their motives were so conveniently hot one moment and cold another. I'll go travel around the world, feed my animalistic side to penetrating women, and reach my dreams!... or not, I'll sink my teeth back into a woman who clearly doesn't want me, oh and I'll rape her too, oh but I won't because she's so innocent... The main dude's best friend girlfriend sexfriend... thing also got her arc dragged out so much that her developments and subtle flaws of moving on too fast, of starting another relationship for the wrong reasons, it all just felt so fixated on making the whole thing perpetuate to the point of redundancy and disgust. If you had a one-night stand reunion thing with your ex best friend...ok, worst mistake ever, move on. The main characters aren't even human. Wait six month to have sex my ass, go fuck yourself mangaka spitting on my patience even more. The main chick had a -nice- character design. But I feel so bad even saying that thanks to the terrible abuses she has to suffer on every level possible. Hetakoi: an absolute master piece of shit. |

| Yeah, the fucking hobo was annoying as fuck, but besides the middle of the manga I loved everything else! :D |
  |
| I really love the concept of karma , (atleast in manga cuz we all know real life is different..) , so I would have liked to see the douchebag hobo guy get his share of it for all the shit he caused (the more suffering the better), a bit to much drama if you ask me , and the part where she almost slept with above mentioned douchebag really bothered me for some reason.. 7/10. |
| Nice. :) Ruka x Gramps Yaji and "Angel". XD |
 |
| The first half was one of the most entertaining ecchi comedies I'd read. Then it just got dramatic and repetitive. At least the ending was right. |

| I really wanted some epilogue for Kotono :/ While ending was good and I can't really say anything bad about it, I somehow liked middle part more. I usually don't like drama, but in this case it felt realistic. |
| That was actually a pretty decent series overall. Wow, I'm impressed. I thought this would be a 6/10 at best but I ended up giving it a 7. Its rare to have a seinen romcom series with a good male protagonist. He's extremely traditional but that's actually my type. I was a bit disappointed he and Shimizu (sp?) got together halfway and did the do many times when he could have saved it for Ruka. Ruka was also very likeable and cute. She feels realistic for a female written by a male mangaka. Anyway, yeah this series was really fun and easy going which was good. |
| ^the author Nakano Junko is female actually The second manga of her that I've read, she significantly improved her art. Still im not sure how should I rate this 6 or 7. Enjoyable, gave me some boner, but the misunderstanding kinda dragged for too long. Grampa gave up quickly without even properly takling to Ruka. He always jump to conclusions and self destructed. He pissed me off just s little bit. Ruka's actions were understandable imo. I mean I wouldn't blame her if she ended up having sex with Tsuchi. But still Im glad she saved her virginity. and oh the twins were adorable. 7/10(for now?) |
| I think the ending was bad tbh. It was a great manga but tht ending was just bad. It made the ending sound like the whole goal was to have sex with her... It was distasteful and didn't sit east with me. If they just kissed instead and ended it right there it would have been much better. |

| ^_~ |
| It was a good read. I liked the first and last part of the manga. Middle part was frustrating to read... So many misunderstandings, leading to mistakes and regrets (making me at some point hate the male lead). Overall, one of the best drama romance I've read. Would like to know what happened to yuu-kun and the childhood friend... And grandpa's ex and the hobo guy. |

| The confession part at the last few chapters were dragged on and the middle part of the manga is extremely rough to go through plot-wise, but I think this was definitely a good read. I really like both the MCs and its satisfying to see that despite of all the hardships and misunderstandings that they went through, they still ended up with each other. And I was actually hoping to see more of their daily lives as a couple but I guess its fine the way it is. |

| One of the best romance manga ever Final score 9/10 |
 |
| It’s a very good series, I sure enjoyed it a lot. Komai was a great main character, probably one of the best of the romance series I’ve seen/read. Ruka was a fine character but I did not like her that much overall. I do believe that there could have been a conclusion to Kotono and Yuu’s relationship, as it is now it’s left to the reader. |
 |
| It's odd to me that so many people wanted to see more about Yuu/Kotono and Tsuchiya/Shimazu, it's laid pretty bare that there was nothing there for either of those lol. Yuu only made that promise about taking Kotono at 30 because he didn't like seeing his childhood friend crying. He very understandably has no desire to be in a relationship with a girl that he's literally been with since she was a newborn. Tsuchiya and Shimazu didn't even travel together, that was a feint. Shimazu wasn't at all into that type of guy and had no trouble brushing him off. Neither pairing is impossible or entirely unrealistic, but they'd feel forced for the sake of creating more couples in the context of this series. All that said, this was a fun read. Nothing unique or exemplary in my opinion, but fun. Probably a 6.5-7 for me if I had to score it. Both leads' indecisiveness and some of Shizuka's personality traits made them annoying though. |
