Usually I don't complain too much, but I was so loving this until that extra. I usually skip the ones that have sad or tragic endings, but when chapter four finished and I went on to the next chapter I was begging that it wouldn't be a separate story, and of course was. Whatever, I thought since it wasn't too long, but I was confused and it didn't really make coherent sense to me, Like the author was trying so hard to make this as tragic as possible so it would come out as this really sad and emotional piece that we can connect to. I also thought, this author isn't really known for this type of tone in her writing, an it clearly shows. The pacing was confusing and in the end it wasn't enough for me to empathize. I just didn't like it. I would've much preferred if chapter five was about the main couple, like maybe going on first date? Adjusting to be a couple? I don't know who pushed this extra story thing, but it does take away from the story because it is such a huge tonal shift. I really hate when authors do that shit. I've seen other authors try and make their stories as sad and tragic, but there is a right way to write angst that doesn't involve forcing such a tragic 30 page one shot. It just felt like a waste because it honestly leaves no impact on me. Like when I return to this, I'll never go to that chapter again and I'll have forgotten about it pretty quickly. It wasn't written in a way that made me emotionally invested. I understand that people are scoring lower because of the extra story, but don't do that it take away from the good main story. So, I'll rate five stars. The main story is so cute and I love how the author is able to develop strong amusable character in such a shot length manga. I really liked the main story and I really think whoever rated lower just because of a chapter they didn't like is kind of ridiculous. If you liked the main story, and chapter five didn't exist, I am willing to bet that the rating would be higher for sure. Anyway, yeah that disappointed me, but the extra was cute enough to rinse that bad taste out of my mouth from chapter five.
