I'm so surprised that Watase Yuu wrote this, and I think she said it took her at least 10 years in the interview at the end wow :O
Many people aren't satisfied with the ending but tbh it's pretty understandable. Souma comes from a wealthy family and is expected to marry someone with the same rank while Masataka is simply a normal citizen, if they were to keep a romantic relationship, Masataka would end up being his concubine or something. You have to take into consideration that the story is set in the 1920s (at least I believe) where homosexual relationships are taboo and if caught, they could be punished pretty badly. The ending is bittersweet and fits the story. However the author says in the interview that they might meet again in the future so she leaves that up to our imagination.
