Love and Lies
| I've been reading Koi to Uso since 2018 and I ain't satisfied with how it ended. (opinion) I prefer Misaki Route tho. Misaki Route is hard af. 🔥 what about y'all? what do you think? |

| Ririna has always been the better girl for me and the wedding ending was the icing on the cake for me. |

The reason I prefer misaki route is the flow feels more natural leading up to the end? Maybe that's just me idk xDI like both finale and at the same times I disliked both. It's a strange thing, bit contradictory, but I couldn't be totally satisfied, still the Ririna's finale feels more complete, Misaki is happy too and that's it while in Misaki's finale we don't know nothing about Ririna. |

| The Lilina route very much feels like the "real" ending. It has most major characters show up in a detailed epilogue, it's grander and more emotional It just feels more definitive. The Misaki route feels more like a footnote. There's less detail, less closure, little finality. It's perfunctory almost. Also, the lack of a deeper epilogue just makes me think that he dies early in that route. And Lilina only shows up for a second, which really hammers home the "what if" feel it has. Even though he doesn't pick her in that route, she's still one of his dearest friends in the world and a main character. She can't just vanish like that. Conversely, we see that Misaki not only gets time on the page in the Lilina route, but she's happy and still friends with all of them. One is very clearly better than the other to me. |

| Ririna route definitely felt like canon. The routes thingy feels like it was forcedly added at the last minute lol. |

| Kinda late to this post, but to me both routes seem pretty forced. In Misaki route, everything is great, except when Neji returns back to Ririna and says he decided to stay with Takasaki. Then Ririna just goes "LIE" mode and says she always hated him. Bitch what? This is such bad writing and character inconsistency, equivalent to Daenerys in GoT season 8. All the time Ririna was cheering the two of them on and when in the end he chose Misaki she said "aith Imma out". Whaaaaat??? I feel similar about Ririna route too. Misaki attempts to kill herself, Neji saves her while she was falling, then says he chooses Ririna but is thankful for everything Misaki has done for him, then Misaki goes: "Aigh, great fam, I was just kiddin, didn't want to kill myself. You totally didn't see me falling off a cliff. Oh and yeah if you in any case did, I have wings and I can fly, just saying you know, I cant die, just sayin" Whaaat? Such ridiculous writing |

In my almost 4 years of using the MAL app, I have never received a single notification about the forum replies. |

In my almost 4 years of using the MAL app, I have never received a single notification about the forum replies. same here mate🤠 It’s a relatively new feature. Anyway, I agree. I felt that the end was rushed and thrown together. In the other’s route, the character who wasn’t chosen seemed like they weren’t their usual selves, as if none of the development upto the point of where the routes split (ch265, the literal end of the story) never took place with that character. Ririna’s interactions in the Misaka route seemed bitchier, both before and after he saved Misaki, despite them being such close friends upto that point. Ririna route we saw Misaki attempt suicide, be saved, then be completely meek and accepting of Neji’s feelings for Ririna despite her bold, stubborn attitude we’d seen up to this point. You can argue, “Well, she wanted him to choose life”, but then it throws away the whole “I wanted him to save me” complex that she had, where she wanted to be saved from her Notice and still be chosen in the end, despite it meaning a potentially “Bad End” for Neji. Both routes just seemed incredibly forced and neither character seemed themselves in their opposing route. Ririna route felt more like the “true end” as I’ve seen people say above. We had the grand wedding, Ririna looking gorgeous, everyone cameoed, and they were all happy in their lives, and we knew that based on dialogue vs the Misaki route where we got 1 panel of Ririna and who knows how her life was outside that moment. I definitely preferred the Ririna route. Still a great manga. Ending was just more lackluster than I wanted for something I’ve been following for 4 years. I also really wish the epilogue of Ririna’s route would have told us something about Igarashi x Yajima. I thought their ship was really cute and wanted it to see progress in the epilogue. For all the scenes we got leading up to her realizing her love for him, I feel like there should have been SOMETHING. Whether it was just someone mentioning it, and she mentioning it as a first teenage love, or we see that they’ve actually made progress since her graduation. That really disappointed me. So much build-up for nothing to happen other than using it to move the plot forward with Neji. /: |
| don't know about you but Nisaka's Route is the best Route |
 My Candies:  |
| nisaka is best girl, should've given him a separate ending. |
| Just finished both the other day and I think I preferred Lilina, Misaki's just had less closure and quite honestly I feel like he should have eventually died in the Misaki route, but far enough out that she was able to get many years and a family out of it. |
 |
| Lilina ending certainly felt like the true ending the author wanted to do. We have a wedding and closure for almost every single side characters we've seen in the manga. In the last picture you can see Nisaka and Misaki still hanging out with them, while Lilina and Nisaka was never seen again on Misaki's route pictures. |
