So could someone explain the ending to me? (specifically the last half of the final chapter)

I dont really understand the ending, but it looks like

Oh my god... I'd love to. This is one of the very best endings I've ever read to a work of fiction; and I don't make that comment lightly!

I read it in the following way. Up until this point, Yoshinori and Hidari have had an uneven relationship. She's been overawed and impressed by him, in the way a little sister might for an older brother. That is to say, she only saw his strengths, and not his flaws. Minamo, by contrast, saw him much more completely. She was Yoshinori's own age, and was much more his equal in terms of power and understanding. Their relationship began on the basis of her seeing right through him, knowing his flaws. But anyway, throughout the whole story, Hidari didn't.

Until the last part of the last chapter. Yoshinori

For the very first time -- literally on the last page -- she sees his weaknesses. Her previous, childish, perfect image of him shatters. And we're left with her looking at him, eyes wide open, as if for the very first time. The last words:

Best ending ever. We're now left to wonder: now that she's seen him for who he truly is, for the very first time... will she continue to go out with him for a bit (probably for slightly too long, because she's still young, and doesn't yet know when to cut her losses), before finally coming to terms with the fact that he's not what she built him up to be, that's he's actually quite a pathetic creature, needing to cling on to some female-formed Ideal (be it her, Minamo, or Yuki) in order to be able to stand up to life... and thus, subsequently leave him in the dirt, where he belongs, to grow crawling back to some Minamo he can exploit?
OR, does her seeing him for who he is for the first time get rid of the illusions of childish infatuation... and open up the door to a real, adult love, on the basis of mutual knowing and acceptance, rather than idealization?

Who knows? Tomochika-sensei has but left us with the tools to dream it...

Omg I went back and read the final chapter again and read your explanation which made me almost as infuriated by the ending as it did 3 years ago! The fact that it doesn't follow the "where they are x years later" route for the ending makes the ending all the more realistic.
