It was an okay ending, but it could have been better though. It was kind of a bullshit open ending. Maybe another chapter or even a few more pages would have done it some good.

I figured Masaki and Soutome would get together, but I didn't like that it left it so open ended with Kazuya and Rika. I mean it clearly showed they liked each other, but it needed something more. I mean obviously he did change her life for the better, but it would have been nice for just another chapter of them talking and getting together.

It left so many unanswered questions for me.

I was confused about one thing. Did she still get pregnant and have the abortion? Or Was her leaving just a destined thing that she would have left anyway no matter the reason? That chapter where she left came off as that she did still get pregnant even though she did lead a better life in the end.

What happened with the whole Reiko/Hiro/Mitsuru thing. Did Reiko finally confess or stay with that abusive asshat?

Did Kazuya stay single and virgin all that time?

Yoshino led a better life, but did she never date anyone else? For all we know, she still could have been a gigantic slut and still worked at a brothel.

Who was the stalker that even stalked her in her new life if she hadn't led the destructive old one?

Were both single at the end? I mean it clearly implied they still like each other.

Were they going to get together?

Gah, It makes me rack my brain a bit because of how much I enjoyed the journey and how it petered out so badly at the end.

She didn't have an abortion because she never got pregnant. When Kazuya confronts her that day she said she didn't get pregnant because she remembered that he told her to use protection. She left because it was like a set point in time that couldn't be altered, but three circumstances were different. She didn't become a sleut that works at a brothel because she got into a better college, and at the party they mention she got a fancy job for a fashion company.

I had issues too, but this and the review you left are wrong. This was all in the manga and your acting like it was left up to the reader to make up.
