Rightly put there. I felt a bit torn myself, i mean the whole manga was amazing yet i can't be sure whether i felt bad that many things were left out, or that it's better that way. I wished we knew what Kiyomine's gramp and mom think of their bond.
These 2 are definitely in love, definitely in a relationship, and yet all this happened without even so much as a love confession. The manga started off with friendship and romance that bloomed freely and fast between them, only to be tested by a series of events. This eventually made them learn to treasure each other even more. And yet, still no real confession. Quite the opposite, the random displays of affection even became less recurrent. I must add the few kiss scenes were beautifully drawn, nothing explicit but really sweet!
I can't really express how I feel after reading this manga. It's just... the relationship between Takara and Kiyomine is just way beyond friends or lovers. It even gives me the feeling that naming their relationship as 'lovers' is a bujoku to what their actually holding(personal opinion). You cannot ask them to choose between family and the other because it is just to cruel to them(as being said in the manga), but you can definitely feel that they cherish each other a lot. It's kind of contradict for me wanting to see more you know what scenes and wishing that they confirm their relationship but at the same time not wanting the secular world tarnish their exalted relation.
Anyway, I just want to thank mangaka Miyuki for letting me have such a great time enjoying this wonderful series of manga. I'm sure this is one of the best mangas I have ever read in my whole life. Someday I wish to buy all 26 volumes of the whole collection.(▰˘◡˘▰) I will absolutely come back and review hundreds of times in the future.
Ps. I also love the other characters as well, especially Reiichi. ⁄(⁄ ⁄·⁄ω⁄·⁄ ⁄)⁄
