Hi, I know saying this will make my heart break but I actually agree with you. Not just this series, the Junjou Romantica also face something similar. For Sekaiichi Hatsukoi, I only watch the anime and that was it. I can’t have myself to read the manga if the same author couldn’t finish the Junjou Romantica manga series. I wish I could, but seeing other BL manga already has their happy ending, why Sekaiichi Hatsukoi and Junjou Romantica still stuck in place? I love the characters but I also feel sorry for them.. Hopefully the author didn’t pull this too long just for keeping the fans.. :(( this purely my opinion that I’ve been holding for so long..
The most devastating (and what broke me) was Ritsu final confesion, it was so poor driven and badly exacuted i started to regret to came back to read what i missed for few years:/
After rereading it and finally getting to the end i have my final tought. I loved this manga, anime was my second shounen-ai i ever saw after Junjou, but to be honest i am so dissapointed. I give it less star because i can see that author gave up on this series the more you read it the more story becomes boring and are drawn so poorly, Takano changed totaly (physicaly and mentaly) and look like 15 years old (and sometimes he just look like Nao with darker hair), not to mention many slides look like it was drawn by someone who can't draw at all (especially volume 20).
