This is a final review, if you haven't finished reading it you shouldn't read this, there's spoilers here for sure.

I just finished reading this and it is definitely a great manga.

This was such a great emotional rollercoaster! I loved the ups and downs of all the characters, and Shiori and Akio's relationship. It was so well written and though many people ask what was the point of her and Kai being together, I think it's all about the journey itself and very much like real life, you may not end up with the person you'll marry from the moment you meet, there'll be hardships and ... maybe other people along the way. I feel that characters were very well developed, specially Shiori, and it is a perfect example of how people's behavior are influenced by emotions, people around and internal factors. Shiori as we can see when she loses her memory and recovers from it, is not a bad person who means to hurt others, but it doesn't mean she hasn't hurt others even if it was sometimes intentional, people learn to live with their mistakes and improve themselves for the better. People are multidimensional and are always changing at times for the better others for the worse. I admit, Shi-chan was very bad with her sister and the way she rebelled upon being rejected by A-chan was upsetting, but I was glad to see her growth and regret over her behavior and words and her continuous intention to be better.
I was happy Akio changed though the story too, and the influence others had on him to push him to share what he thought with Shiori.

Also, I just need to rant about this, those who don't like it or maybe don't want to read because of their familiar relationship, I have to say, everyone has their own views of right and wrong. The way I see it, if two children even if they grow up in the same house, if they have awareness that they are not related, and are then not conscious of each other as blood-related then it isn't impossible to develop feelings for each other. For example, if two foster children grow up in the same foster home with the same parents for a few years and develop feelings for each other probably no one would consider it incestuous. I think Akio made up for any wrong by living with the guilt of his feelings during all those years and Shi-chan thus was also hurt by it but it did help her grow up.

Overall, it was a great manga and I'll miss checking for updates every week. -cries-
