As much as I like how they ended with Masato x Hotaka, I disliked how they actually made me think he’d end up with Chika. At the first chapter, I expected him to end up with Masato since he was always focused, then he suddenly ended with Chika and I just came to like them and wanted Masato to have a happy relationship with his wife because it seemed to be going so well. Imagine the shock I had when they split. It was so sudden as if at the point where Chika chose that other girl and Masato broke up with his wife AT NEARLY THE SAME TIME was rushed. It seemed like the mangaka suddenly wanted him to end up with Masato and not so smoothly turned the story around. I even thought that it was just a phase and he’d end up with chika since he seemed to be more stressed when he started going out with Masato. But yeah, I still do think that Masato was a good choice, I have nothing against chika (well except for that douchy breakup) I do think he does love Hotaka but sadly not the other way around. The relationship wasn’t going anywhere if they continued since he was just going with the flow. He at least feels something when he’s with Masato. Disclaimer: I have nothing against the mangaka, I love their other works.
