Quote from carpenoctem
Isn't she still working on uwasa no midori kun?
actually that project is completed..
Anyways back to the ending I love how it ended. Takara said it best after the karate tournament, he admitted that he was selfish and that he knew that his actions would eventually hurt Hikaru but he didn't put her well being first. If you go back and re-read moe Kare you will notice that most of Takara's affectionate moments where caused as a result of him trying to get ahead of Arata in winning Hikaru's affection and where not instigated out of the pure emotion of loving Hikaru. This is of course unlike Arata who loved hikaru completely and wished only for her happiness.
Also, I agree with alot of people that the whole bad guy turning nice is very cliched but the difference between this manga and all the others is that the mangaka gives you a reason for the change... You get to know Arata's sad background, always living in loneliness so it is understandable why he would grow up with this outer tough guy exterior and also this explains why he can love hikaru completely.
