I would have enjoyed some romantic Kominato x Murao scene at the end since now they're together. They were pretty much the only reason I kept reading this, but Kominato's sister was cute and I'm glad she was interested in Kikuchi.

Main couples in shoujo are always so cringe worthy but Futaba and Kou are funny together.

Was wondering what was taking so long on the next chapter, wouldn't have guessed that it just... ended. D: mangakas playing with my heartstrings again, why u do dis!? Admittedly, after looking back, it does sort of have that ending feel, but with an abundance of great moments to boot. Won't comment too much on the characters and such as I feel they were all cute, fun, cheerful, and fully developed, but I'll keep my commentary strictly on my thoughts for his last chapter.

A lot of people started complaining about this, and I agree, it did begin feeling a little dragged on at points especially after Kou and Futaba got together. It's not just this manga in particular, but the entire genre of shojo as a whole. A vast majority just don't know what to do and throw the story out the window after the main characters get paired together. Still doesn't mean I'm glad it ended so soon, although I will say that the mangaka is respectable for deciding to do it when she did, seemingly in attempts to not risk making the story stagnant.

All minor complaints and nit-picks aside, really great ending and story in general. Big kudos for all the feels up until this point haha. Glad that everything ended up okay, and all the loose ends were adequately tied. Albeit, I wish Touma had a little bit more screen time, but maybe he'll get his own extra chapter later. Anyway, my final thoughts: Really connected with the story and hoping for more great things from Io, whether that be more material on Aoharaido or new projects. This story has really been there for me when times were tough in my life, If I was feeling down I could always look forward to and smile after reading a chapter, and just wanted to give a final thanks!

She could of talked and went into young love. Dating, firsts of all kinds.
all that good stuff. I seriously fell in love with Kou. I'm so sad to see him go. I've already read this and saw the anime. It still crushes me that there will be no more Kou or Futaba. This really made my heart pound. It had a perfect beginning and the end was rushed... I wish she would of showed more date, and development of Kou and Futaba's dating life. I want to see them make love, and all that lovey stuff.<3

Awesome read, I enjoyed it a lot.
For me the 1st half would be even more than 10/10, it went somehow down with the love triangle, cliche stuff and too much focus on Futaba x Kikuchi ( which annoyed me a bit, cos I didn't like him) , still 9/10
Kou is a great character, maybe my favourite among all the shoujos/romances I've read.
Tbh the love relationships of the side characters didn't interest me that much.
Ending was alright, we all knew it'd happen eventually.

I wish there was more^ I'd like to see them several later at least, but oh well.

Yes, manga is finished chapter 49 is final chapter.
There are 2 special chapter "unwritten" and side story about YuuichixShuuko.

Other two chapters are oneshots: "Sono Omokage wo Shitteru" and "Strobe Edge Tokubetsu-hen"

If somebody want more "Ao Haru Ride" then...
There are 3 special chapters called "awaken", but right now only first chapter have english scanlation,
but you can find scans and translations for chapter 2 and 3.
There is also short, really short story from special booklet and special collaboration one-shot called "Ore Ride!!"

Through all this I thought I'm gonna die.It was the scariest emotional roller coaster ever. It was pretty obvious that they will end up together, but still, I was really worried when she was with Touma. I love this, it's one of the best shujo manga that I've read.

TBH it seems a decent amount of people liked Touma... I liked both of them in their own ways. This is also the first manga I read :) I started reading it where the anime left off, and I'm happy I did because I don't think it's likely they'll be coming back for a second season

I felt so well connected to all of the characters that I didn't end up pacing myself with this manga and now it all seems to have gone too fast. I loved all the drama, the fallouts, the misunderstandings, the tests of strength of character. Yoshioka especially stuck with me because she really was an amazing character who really held her convictions despite what it meant for her.

I wish there was a little more development for Murao and Kominato's relationship as it came to a close, but I'm happy they got together. Also felt a bit like Makita wasn't really there towards the end either. The ending was all a little too content for me, it would have been nice if it was a little less cutesy and more in line with how everyone was throughout.

At many nights.. i imagined myself as futoba *^* this is how much i loved it T___________T
Great end but i am a little disappointed bc i wished and expected something bigger than that *^* though i like them being again together but as a real couple in the same place where their love first started *^* i have still much to say about this manga but cant find more words to express my feelings*^*

Starting of the anime was very good,I would tell a strong plot and unique story of first love but in the middle of the anime I got so frustrated with the distance between kou and futaba and on the other hand futaba was trying to forget kou by coming closer to kinnuchi ,I really hate those moments where kinnuchi kissed futaba and I liked the scene on the stairs where kou told futaba about narumi and his serious talk and after knowing the truth futaba couldn't bring herself to be girlfriend of kinnuchi .I like the ending in that temple ,the place where there love had started

This was one really good manga, the Anime brought me, the manga was just as good, but the tunes that played in the anime was ringing all throughout the time I was reading this manga, and man, do I love this love story, the depth and meaning of breaking away from sorrow, growing as a person, being there for the one from the bottom of your heart... It was truly a beautiful journey

Damn, I just thoroughly loved this manga from start to finish. What a heartwarming, sweet and fulfilling ending this was though!
Kou and Futaba once again ending up in the same place as their first memorable encounter but this time with a little warm and lovely environment among the couple. Perfect finale!
To be honest, though, the phase where Futaba and Kikuchi were together as a couple kind of ruined the whole thing for me for it became a touch too typical and bland for my taste. Nonetheless, I believe that they way that relationship was put to a halt and Kou regaining himself back made up for it quite well.
As for the other Characters: it's saddening to see Tanaka have to go away for pursuing his studies, great to see Murao and Kominato relationship building up steadily, wonderful to see Makita and her boyfriend lovey-dovey as always and Kikuchi moving on. Although I would have preferred some more information on these side characters, it was still excellent nonetheless.
Easy 5/5 for this Chapter and a definite 8.2/10 to the manga series.

I couldn't leave this topic seeing the last reply and first of the year of 2018 was a hate one.

I enjoyed this manga too much, still buying all the originals slowly (long way to go since I only have 3 so far...). I'm honest, I watched the anime first and then came to keep up with the manga because I was not happy knowing they would never make a 2nd season. Was the first time I read a manga. T o t a l l y n o r e g r e t s . I simply loved it & wish for more to come ~ 10/10.

Haven't really read that many shoujo manga to compare but I thought this was a bit of a letdown. I really like the anime and genuinely enjoyed reading the rest of the manga but maybe I was just expecting a lot more.

Towards the last few chapters, I got flashbacks from Fuuka when Kou was involved in the accident but thank goodness the mangaka isn't crazy or stupid enough to let it go the tragedy route.

Man, it’s been a few years since I read this series and I forgot half these scenes happened. So it was like reading it for the first time, even though I knew how it would end. Watching her and Touma date while Kou... was just kind of there, was gut-wrenching.
All of this could have been avoided if Kou was more honest and told her about his feelings... but that wouldn’t have made Ao Haru Ride the manga it is.
In all honesty the manga leaves something to be desired but it holds a special place in my heart, probably for the nostalgia I feel when reading it, and I felt so anxious the entire time Touma and Futaba dated because girllll..... ugh. I couldn’t stop reading until I got the ending I deserved, and I left feeling satisfied.
I wonder if Tanaka (older brother, not Kou!) ends up with anyone. I’d like to think so.
I also wonder who that guy in one of the side chapters is, with the younger Kinoshita. Maybe Touma? But with that black hair, probably not.
I hope everyone ended up happy.
I’m repeating myself so I’ll stop myself here, lol.

They are characters from the earlier work of the author.Check out the Strobe Edge if you are interested.

Strong start, bad development, kinda mediocre ending(there was no need to sugarcoat Murao situation imo)I wish manga could stay with the first 15 chapters line and make the story more about Futaba helping Kou with putting together his life.She was such a powerful character and Kou was intriguing.

Going for cliche shoujo tropes was the big mistake.Story became forced/dragged, everyone started to act out of character etc. So much potential got wasted.

I didn't read the manga. I read from the ending. The ending is predictable. I liked honestly where they left off from the anime. It was good where it was. They could have ended it with Futaba and Kou finally going to the festival, and Kou changing his name back to Tanaka and that would have ended the story!

The anime was really good. It's hard to enjoy even 12 episodes of an anime.

Wow she got with that rando guy from the library, who should have frankly stayed where he should be.

Glad I didn't read the rest of the manga. It's just like what happened to Inuyasha - it went on foreverrr...

Well the anime was enough. I found the romance enjoyable, but it was all the other stuff - Kou and Futuba forming a strong enough friendship/bond before the romance happened, the moments of friendship where the gang had to help Kou. I am glad it wasn't only about romance this anime.

It's a way better version of Orange.

All it needed was Kou changing his name back to Tanaka. The last 2-3 chapters, minus the forgettable valentine's day chapter, were alright.

WoW i agree, i thought this would be a lovely Story on how a girl transform the traumatic kid unable to let his heart open to Anyone into the old nice nice kid he was before the trauma. That they would find love in each other cuz of the anime you know but noooo, i got the drama of the century, kou was so dump 3/4 of this manga not speaking his feeling and even letting a kid (a nice one btw) be between them. This manga could be something different but end being anoteh cliché after cliche

It’s not that the series was that bad but it wasn't that good either. I think the biggest problem was Futaba, I did not like her from the start, she was pretty annoying. On the other side, Kou was a very interesting character, I did like how his character developed through the series, so I’d want a better female character on his side for this story, but it wasn’t so, unfortunately. Moreover, I don’t get why the author decided to write the chapters with Touma, I believe it was a pretty bad way to let Futaba understand her “unconditionate love” for Kou. I thought this series would be better, I think Kou is the only reason I give it a 7 instead of 6.

The ending was rushed. You don't have the feeling of ending as it ended so abruptly. The thing I like of this manga is the the way of describing a scenario . I love this couple as they really do not need any kind of push like other romance manga. The side characters were a bit out of scenario sometimes. But Kou Futaba expressed themselves beautifully which is why they have become my favourite couple. I like that they were mature enough to express themselves unlike other romance manga. It really need a second season.
