ROFL, I've got to give it to Seo. I had accused the dude of making another Suzuka and had said that o/c the titular character will end up with the dude but this is.... DAMN. Hated Fuuka (who needs another violent, annoying, obnoxious cliche) so this actually makes me want to read the manga again.

Remember that Suzuka's first love got hit by a truck? And now her daughter...Seo is a monster.

Oh I forgot about that. Oh snap

Is this true? I did my best to forget that mess. But you are right. Was his corpse also as untouched by the impact ? Lol. What an author .

I like Seo Koji's works...but I'm kinda burning with rage right now...to kill main heroine...it's too much, even for you, sensei! I think...I'm gonna drop this title...

I absolutely hated kimi. I hated it so much it kept burning, and growing. Ironically you can find that I kept trying to defend it and have hope for it long past a lot of other people. I honestly consider it worst than pastel now... by a lot. I gave up on fuuka around the beach part early on when they decided to make a band.

Seo isn't a good writer. He really isn't. Suzuka and his one shot about the love letters were his prime. He's the M.Night shamalsallasdfasdfad of manga.

I knew he didn't have the skill to make a band story or anything close to it(his basketball story was a snooze). He just doesn't have the skill for much. And he's too stuck on the idea of OTP. I usually like that but HE SUCKS. Kimi was like a bad strawberry 100 percent, because it lacked what made ichigo special.

His only decent manga is half and half. Even his other manga about a demon is lackluster and unenergetic(apparently not a word, lethargic then) for the type it's suppose to be. And even half and half was ruined by kimi. Shameless plugging he did.

Honestly him killing off the heroine sounds interesting or it could be him grasping at straws that he sucks at, cause he sucks. But I haven't followed.

Hearing this today I just watched a movie where both the main characters are inexplicably killed(murdered) at the end. An incest-ish story about some siblings that dind't grow up together called Delta(it doesn't have that kinda feel to it though). There was a rape early on but it was just about them meeting, not talking much(very little dialogue), and building a house that the guy was gonna build anyway but she wanted to help him and live there.

You got this feeling from kimi that he just does things to shake them up instead of focusing on a good story because that concept might fly for the action series he's incapable of, but not for dramas. You end up with something out of a soap opera if you operate like that.

It's hard for me not to think he's not just relying on these because he can't tell a story. It never feels like a logical/reasonable progression. I read a manga about a guy deciding to murder someone that felt like that(it was within the character and we followed his thinking), and his crap lacked it. I've read a seinen or josei thing were a girl's boyfriend died when she was pregnant, and it somehow made sense. But his crap never really does, when he tries it.


The inexplicable deaths in the movie I mentioned still happened because of other characters.



I'LL ALSO ADD THIS!

This plot sounds very similar toWhat's There to Know

Tthis is a good story that is immediately good(this started before fuuka too). It's much better than fuuka upto what I read, in every possible way. The story telling is good too. It uses better storytelling techniques from the beginning. It's because this guy isn't a good storyteller and has to rely on crap that people couldn't see what would be unique about fuuka early on.

Yeah, too bad What's There to Know had scanlations stop because korean webtoons that aren't tower of god are all slow and boring as fuck....

If you think Fuuka is similar to what webtoon then you should take a look at this

Seinen version with male and female roles switched.

First off I have yet to read this manga but Suzuka was the manga/anime that got me into anime and manga. I remember re-reading Suzuka and trying to find deeper meaning in Suzuka leaving for the U.S.

I was into KNIM for a bit but like others stated it seemed to me like Seo was trying to force more story.

Being a supreme fan of Suzuka...
[WTF SEO!! HOW DARE YOU KILL OFF THEIR DAUGHTER!!!]

The fact that the love interest is killed off is exactly like Suzuka's sempai at the begining. It also reminded me a bit of Cross Game
Although I didn't really like KNIM too much towards the end and the fact that the MC dies I am still excited to start reading the sequel to one of my all time favorites.

** WHAT ? ** REALLY ? *** (flips Kotatsu table, starts electrical fire)

I am angry at mangaka Seo about the sad plot twist. What a nihilistic jerk.



So dropping this manga!

So he killed her off? Well, I thought he was just recycling Suzuka and KNIM, so this is an improvement. I'd dropped it about 20 chapters ago anyway.

Maybe he's going to rip off Kirara and have her be a ghost guiding her boyfriend in the past?

I don't see it being about supernatural. I see it more down the road of beck. Yuu will do the dream Fuuka had and it will probably end soon after that. Probably having an epilogue with Yuu and Koyuki being together remembering her at the steps of the shrine.
