incest ending.

1. The nonsense relationship between Daikichi and Kouki's mom. They both loved each other, and they both knew it. If Daikichi never tried to ask her out, then it's understandable, but Daikichi did ask her out, though he's rejected with "I'm too old" as an excuse. And yet, later she remarried with an old man that apparently asked her out several times. Though, till the end she still loved that Daikichi, even though she had married another man. I can't get impression of her as such a good person, and felt that she's just like a b*tch in ntr-Hitozuma eroge. Sorry.

2. Rin's and Kouki's relationship. You're suddenly brought into the scene when Kouki embraced Rin at ch. 25. Suddenly turning from a heartwarming series into some romantic one, isn't a good thing to do. It ruins your image of the manga, and just make you think, "ah, I know it, it must be another manga with the same setting". And yeah, they kinda rushed everything, that after the incident with Akira, Rin stopped loving him at all, after she gave Kouki a kiss with saying "that's for Kouki that I used to like". (C'mon, don't ruin the image of Rin into a b*tch, please. ) Not so long after that, she just moved into Daikichi. Yeah, and in another "suddenly" way. And, till the end there's not even a scene that shows they're kissing. So we don't know, do they even ever have a kiss? Could it she just ever did it with Kouki?. (Oh man, for the sake of justice, they should've drawn that. It's kinda unfair, and just let me think that Rin is already ruined and turned into a b*tch that suited as ntr eroge main heroine in 10 years)

The series does start off as the summary says it does, but it changes the main cast to Rin after a 10 year gap and overall changes the whole tone of the manga in a noticeable way. It becomes more of a drama series rather than the heartwarming series it started off as.

From reading a crap load of other mangas i can only see it as the authors indirect way of saying "people who are meant for each other but weren't meant to be".

From Rin's point of view, her feelings for Daikichi became stronger when she realised how her mother apologises for abandoning her because she had to work, yet Dai being a single man demoted himself and went through great efforts in raising her. Likewise Dai saw Rin's growth for the past 12 years. While somewhat unusual I'd say it's instinct to fall for someone and can't really be controlled. Dai even mentions he dislikes the outcome.

he agrees to an intimate (couple) relationship with her out of sense of duty. Personally, I'd hate to have someone do that for me.

rather creepy

there must be psychologically wrong with them. Granted, it's not technically incest, but it's disturbing nonetheless. He is her father in every sense of the word. Not to mention the ridiculous age gap. It's not LOVE, it's just childish infatuation. In other words, just not healthy. Also, it's one thing if it's just Rin, but Daikchi is an adult. I find it hard to believe that he, as a FATHER, would let this happen.

After the skip it suddenly turned a questionable romance with Rin developing feelings for Daikichi. It was rather out of the blue (although some would say otherwise) and ridiculously rushed. Not only that, but the mangaka put in a rather flimsy excuse that Rin is not actually blood related to Daikichi. I can only guess the mangaka did that so it wouldn't offend too many people of 'incest'. The problem for me is not the age gap, but rather the fact that somehow Daikichi transformed from a parental figure into a romantic one in Rin's eyes.

i personally think the way the mangaka portrayed rin's feelings to develop in to love for daikichi was understandable. the way things turned out kinda just make it seem like it was something that would just happen, especially after the obviously frustrating mess between nitani liking rin but messing up, and daikichi liking his mom, since it'd be weird either way that worked out. so this happening as a result is kind of oddly normal in a super not normal way (not normal being how they have a parent child relationship). i think if you read the manga without bias or any thought of how typically this is taboo, you can kind of just let things mesh and see how strangely naturally the mangaka makes the development kinda just work.
