The storyline here was weak, it felt like they were dragging it out needlessly. I gave it a ten because I was on team Haruka. I accept this as canon-how it was supposed to go-not a retelling,.

How could you pick your lover out of SHEER guilt? Haruka was the one he wanted to be with. I know that loyalty and romance matter a lot, but desire is the most important force in the range of human emotions.e. If you settle-you'll stray. At least that's how i see it. I doubt tatuyuki could ever be faithful to Mitsuki.

what I love about this series the most is that it's a masterfully written romance series that cuts right to the bone. It's not your typical romantic hijinks show where there are 3 or 4 characters that are there just to get in the way of whatever ship you're supporting. The examples could go on for days, just about anything takaschi wrote, ai yori aoshi past episode 5...which looked to be one of the best animes I'd ever watched right up until the other characters started showing up. Or the infamous love hina. This isn't a romantic comedy: it's serious. now mind you that doesn't ... mean there's a complete lack of comedic relief to soften the blow (namely the characters tatuyuki works with) but it does mean that it isn't so heavy it distracts from the central purpose of the anime without actually making anyone laugh. Seriously. the hijinks in ANY of those romantic comedies are NOT funny and they're repeated ad nausem. I would recondmend you pace your viewing of this series just to get a feel for what WE did when we viewed it as it aired in japan. I picked it up RIGHT after the main event (Ep 3) and had to wait a week for EACH new episode, nerves shot every single night after watching it. It was a slow torture, and yet a slow torture that one enoys.
if you want the full effect of this series, you really have to pace yourslef.
