Forced endings are how life is? Wow, who knew?
Also, to both you and the above poster. Wrong, wrong, wrong. This was not a tragedy, it was depressing, and, you should know, even happy ending stories can be depressing. Oops. I mean the teacher and Yugou NEVER crossed paths? It ends where Akira doesn't even know that Yugou died and is still prepared to move on? No, that's not a tragedy that's just messed up SHIT.
"not getting what you want" is how life is... <== this is what I mean
about the rest of your comment, I guess you know everything, saying my opinion is wrong, just because you do not agree
it's like it was forced to end... sad end right? nobody got what they wanted afterall... this is how life is a bitch teehee
