For it's era, the manga was pretty good. I mean, neither protagonist died and they weren't tragically split up, as far as we know. See, that's the plot hole. Too many questions were left unanswered. What happened when they told the parents they were living together? Did they confess their true relationship to them or just keep playing "brothers"? If they keep up the brothers bit, does the Dad push more omiai on Shintarou? What happened to Cunterella, I mean Machiko or Pachinko or whatever the hell that little bitch's name was? Does she find out about their relationship and how does that play out? Honestly, it felt like they wrote this manga to go on for much longer and then stopped half way.
