(Save yourself the time, and DO NOT read)

This manga was a trip, but one that I got hooked on fast. It was the perfect blend of romance and drama (and ecchi), and was enjoyable given the weird situation. It had it's ups and downs, but ultimately started to come out on top as one of my favorites. That is, until the dumpster fire hit.

It was really starting to get wholesome and fulfilling towards the end, and there was a clear way to end this manga (not because of what the majority of readers wanted, but because the character development was leading directly towards this perfect ... ending). It was all going so smooth, until the writer decided to throw away 250+ chapters of character development down the drain. And for what?....Fate?.....Personal preference?......Deadlines?.....Laziness??? Your guess is as good as mine. Not only did the ending implode on itself, but it was done in such a half-assed way, that even the ones who wanted "that" ending didn't enjoy it. It did it NO justice.

There are a few people who are constantly defending it, saying "It was the journey, not how it ended". The problem with saying that, is that it's hard to enjoy the great journey and story that the writer built when ALL of it was burnt to the ground when the finish line was a few feet away. One person on the subreddit made a great analogy when they stated "It's hard to enjoy the meal, when the last bite is a spoonful of peppercorns".

I do not condone the harassment of the author for writing such a terrible ending, but she should (at the very least) be made aware that it was a terrible ending. If you did a piss poor job, improve on it. Don't just stand idly by, evading everyone's opinion. Use it to better yourself AND your next work (should you ever consider writing something ACTUALLY good). Just don't let it get to you.
