| I don't see how he picked Mitsuki in the end. It was... VERY unexpected. I was cheering for her until they broke up, then i was hoping he would go for Haruka. Series felt a little too long for a single conflict as if it ran out of gas by the end. 7/10 |
| Uh, I didn't really care at all if Mitsuki and Takayuki got together or not. Almost during the whole series I was indifferent when it comes to them. I'm just glad that Akane and Haruka seemed to be happy in the end. A happy ending for me. I'm even kind of glad that Haruka and Takayuki didn't get together. |

| So. Much. Drama. It's funny because I switched which heroine I would cheer for midway; I liked the blue haired girl at first but then she became really annoying and weak-willed, and the orange haired girl looked so much better after 3 years passed...hehe. Not too happy about watching this, causes me to uneccessarily dwell deeply on it xDxD |
 |
| Wow, I didn't actually think he would go after Mitsuki again! Still a happy ending after all, good stuff! =) In the end a 7/10 for me. |
 |
| I didnt like the ending .... Narumi is soo selfish , haruka wasted three years coz of his stupidy and yet he chose mistuki... i think haruka deserves the best |
  |
| i usually don't like romance dramas (cuz they might turn out like school days) but this one was pretty good. but i couldn't wait to finish it cuz i had this weird vibe watching it the whole time. rom coms FTW |
| I really disliked Mitsuki, so I was a bit disappointed with ending. :D From those two Narumi should choose... |

| A beautiful story. I have enjoyed many different shows, but this is one of the few that I am truly glad I found and watched. This just goes to show you that an anime doesn't have to have to be fantasy based to be good. |
 |
| I'm not satisfied at the ending..what happen to Takayuki and Mitsuki after a year.? |

| The ending doesn't sit with me well - it's not that it's bitter, in fact, it wouldn't sit with me even if he had got with Haruka either. Iono, 7/10 for me. I didn't feel sad, just unsettled by it all. Not a satisfying feeling (and it's not because of the slightly bitter end). |
| It's already over..... :( Loved it till the end.... This anime is a masterpiece....... but why it has crappy rating in MAL.... |

| When Haruka and Narumi were parting my eyes started tearing up. What a crappy ending! It ruined the whole anime for me, I wasn't that crazy about it to begin with and I only watched it to see if he'll end up with Haruka. He didn't. Why did I even waste my time... |

Oo Like, when we find out that Haruka published her book and stuff. Yes I know there was a time skip. What I meant was like a look into their new lives, they really didn't show much other than the fact that they moved and Takayuki with his job. (not sure about this one) |
| Awesome ending, I am so glad that he started over with mitsuki. She has made a horrible mistake after haruka had a accident. But she really loved him..... She took care of him.. always. She deserverd this. despite what she had done. |
| Awsome Ending. Really like that he decided for Mitsuki... but also ended in tears myself at the end. |
I wish they went with additional ending, where Mitsuki was reading Haruka picture book to her son.  If anyone was interested in the OVA, Don't wait it, unless your die hard Haruka fan. |

Grimwolf said: Blaming only Mitsuki for Haruka accident is petty, what about Takayuki or the driver? All these things happen in life, we have no control of it, but its just sad to blame something that happened to you on another person.I would dislike Mitsuki, if only she intentionally did it on purpose.  SuppleTears said: Usually I be piss off for the victim, if there partner cheated on them, but in Takayuri case, he deserves more than being cheated on. I don't know if your in a relationship or not, but how would you feel, if your boyfriend is constantly visiting his ex-girlfriend happily, which effects your relationship with him (barely any conversation, sex, or even a smile and all of this was before she complained to him). Any normal person would feel very depress, that the person they devoted their life to is possibility leaving you.Takayuri keep stating he is obligated to visit Haruka until she fully recovers, but he is more obligated to his relationship with Mitsuki, who is his girlfriend. Throughout the series, he stated he loved Mitsuki more, but he doesn't act on it, it shows lack of initiative as a good boyfriend. Like Akane, Haruka and Shinji stated, he was to kind, but kindness can be cruel at times. Don't you remember how long Mitsuki waited for him? He only came home, when she was sleeping and he didn't even eat the breakfast she made for him. What worst off, is she found them uneaten, what does that message portray to you mean? He hates me? He doesn't love me anymore? He wants me out of his life, so he can get back with Haruka? Takayuri is a douche during this time, he even avoided having a proper conversation with Mitsuki, to figure out what up with their relationship, communication is what makes a relationship of any sorts strong. Mitsuki was easing her pain and depression with booze, which led up to having sex with another person. Afterwards, she felt guilty after realizing she had sex with another person and worst off, it was Shinji their friend. Yes, booze does influence thoughts and decisions, this further add to why I don't dislike her for cheating. I was actually hoping she would fall in love with Shinji and move on with life. I don't know if your in a serious relationship or not, but think about it, would you want to be treated the same way as Mitsuki, by a douche like Takayuri. Physical cheating vs. Lack of devotion? Both are bad, but I know which one hurts the most in this series situation... My summary of the whole series: |

| Looks like its been a while since anyone posted here. But I'll give this a 9/10 Wish I could give it a 10/10 but they drug out so much effort into a small plot that I felt was rushed in the end, ending was sad but it looks like they all came back together in the last few seconds of screentime so Im happy with that. |
 |
| This was heart-wrenching all the way through... Haruka gets EVERYTHING taken away from her, abandoned by her best friend and her only love. WHAT A LOAD OF BULL!!!! And when she finally wakes up, she's forced to realize that her dreams of love were just that, a DREAM. I HATE how Mitsuki was the one who "suffered" when she was the one who seduced Takayuki and betrayed her best friend who was pretty much dead for 3 years. Next Season is the TRUE ENDING for me. -end of rant. |

| Jesus,i feel sorry for saying this but i prefered that Takayuki stayed with Haruka,i know that Mitsuki gave up her dream beacause of the guy and such but Haruka didn't had any luck and got hit by a car.And also the fact that she and Takayuki where a great couple and that the major fault of she being in the hospital was him. Thats why I hated the end and cryed at the part where they said goodbye to each other. |
| Wonderful. |
| One of the best seinen for sure! I really liked the final, it was more realistic. |
 |
| Masterpiece emotional anime. I'm considering re-watching in dubbed now tbh. |
 |
| Best series I ever watched. |
vansonbee said: you are wrong here, it doesnt influence anything, it just lowers inhibitions where you act on impulses instead of thinking things through, its just an excuse to say "im drunk so i cant be accountable for my actions"Yes, booze does influence thoughts and decisions that out of the way, it kinda sucked to me that he didnt yell at the sister that it wasnt his choice to leave her side, but i guess feeling he was to blame for everything, he felt he had to shoulder every bit of the blame for everything that happened couldnt believe shinji saved mitsuki, then knowing she was drunk, let her do as she wanted, wasnt even a real point in the fight before hand except he was the one that wanted the action, an what about telling his girl? someone shoulda told her so no ones in the dark lol side note, wish the ovas were dubbed, guess ill have to break down an watch em subbed lol |

| It's a good love triangle when both choices are so plausible. But what is certain is that both girls deserved him. Well, they deserve better because he's such a boring guy, but they still both deserve to "win". I'm more leaned towards Mitsuki though, she supported Takayuki a lot in the crisis, she gave up a lot of important things for him and even "betraying" Haruka obviously burdened her all the time. The distance and lack of communication between Mitsuki and Takayuki was due to the Haruka matter being unresolved, so I think it's overall a good match. Going for Haruka instead would have had some sense of clinging to the past and filling a responsibility to deal with regrets. While it would have been noble in a way to support Haruka, that would be a questionable choice in a way for this work. The story cut corners a lot, all those theatrically dramatic reactions and assuming fixtations of the characters all the time wouldn't be so much of a problem or not a problem at all if everyone's mentalies, friendships and so on were better developed before or at least alongside that heavy, emotional mess. Comic relief here was some of the worst ever, there were some supporting character development moments that didn't go anywhere and some just didn't get anything at all (like the emptiest parent characters ever). Symbolic elements in the story and visuals were kind of okay, but everything was very standard in the end. Oh well, at least this gave some more impact to a part of Muv-Luv :p 5/5, 5/10 |

| This series was painfully realistic, yet so disorientated at times. Some very good advices given there by those side characters that could have been used on any part of life, not just the romantic side. Takayuki's end speech, was very meh to me. Nothing convincing, plus all he talked about was himself and not how Mitsuki could actually be fulfilled by this relationship again. He just won her over by being melodramatic about his feelings. I actually honestly didn't want him to end up with anyone (maybe Haruka because its was just personal character taste), he still seemed so lost and unstable to be in a relationship. Just kind of derping around and being emotionally dependant on girls. Or something. I dont know guys, this main character is not really doing it for me. He practically did nothing, but be nice and eat everything up. The book story ending added a nice touch to it, but for some reason I didn't feel as overflown with emotions. I was just kind of content that everyone just moved the eff on and not be stuck in the past. This anime was a bit of a pain to finish... it only made me frustrated and annoyed at the characters, couldn't actually feel any attachment to any of them. It was basically just a game of 'who is he going to choose?' and how much drama-filler can you squish in there? I'm a bit disappointed... |
| rare anime in the romance genre 7/10 :) was going to give it 8 but the ending wasn't that big mitsuki > haruka anyway :D |
