Throughout this manga, I found it to be very interesting and appealing; I couldn't stop reading it. Before reading this, I read the one-shot/side-story to this. I was very saddened and without knowing that this manga was connected to that until later on, I read this. I really wanted Parou to find love, but unfortunately, he appears to be satisfied with the way his life is. :/ He had so many to pick from though and he went with Ryousuke who is actually bound to end up with Hacchi??!! Ugh, that sucks so much... The manga overall was pretty good, so I'm giving it a three star rating!
SIDE NOTE:
I wanted Marika to end up with Tomo so that was great! Can we just appreciate how versatile Tomo is? He looks extremely sexy both as a guy and a girl! And I honestly preferred Marika crossdressing with the short hair; the long hair makes her look way too much of a typical naive & annoying anime girl.
I wanted Parou and Akane to end up together, but that went to crap. :/ They both are just lonely kids!
And of course, I wanted Ryousuke and Hacchi to end up together, which did happen.
BUT!! Close to the ending, I did want Parou and Ryousuke to be together. <3 I was like, "ah~ So Ryousuke is gonna heal Parou's wounds? :-)" But nope. He did help Parou to appreciate his surrounding's and realize that everyone isn't the same, but the guy is still fucking sick in the head and instead of getting him some mental help, they just leave Parou be!! I mean, come on! Your friend obviously hasn't fully recovered from his past; he needs to settle down with someone dammit! His mother is hella fucked up too.
My dreams will forever be crushed 'cause there was no happy ending Manga-ka!! Why are you lying to us, hm? Ending it off without the extra chapter would've been a good ending and it should have been that way as you stated, but no!! You messed with my heart and made such a sad final ending for angsty readers, which I'm far from. I don't find that to be a good ending at all, despite how you tried to pull it off. Parou, being my favorite character, I wanted him to get the happy ending instead of Marika (I love Marika too though, but she annoyed me a lot, so I love Parou more).
BTW: Marika and Parou should not be the cover photo 'cause Ryousuke's important too. It would've made me think they'd end up together in the end, which didn't even happen. Quite misleading for when I shipped them at one point in the story.
