That was a really rushed ending, a confession then it's over. I wanted more... TT^TT

I felt it was rushed too. Rather, I don't like the ending at all. I get it wants to stay with the gender-bender theme, but during these last few chapters, i sort of felt it diverged from its original plot- to earn enough money in order to buy back the gender-switching potion. I honestly don't know how i feel about the manga at this point, especially with how things turned out. I enjoyed it but i don't like the ending..

I liked the direction it was going but that was more of an introduction than an ending.

I guess the magazine in the end alluded to them remaining model and manager, meaning he accepted her feelings and they are together.

However, I prefer more conclusive ending such as "I love you too" or something and an epilogue of everyone happy in the future (2 years or something)

well, just my two cents. I was going to give this a 10 cuz I liked the manager so much but this ending is -1 so 9/10... hopefully an epilogue... though I doubt it

This definitely felt like a rushed ending! Wouldn't say it was a bad ending but was hoping for more.

Epilogue? :3

Its a decent end, to my favorite Gender Bender. I think the last few chapters were a bit more rushed than they should of been, but it just comes with the niche genre with many getting cancelled, and consequently rush to finish or in some cases no ending at all.

Yeah, the ending wasn't decisive. I just want to know if he accepted or not. The magazine at the end means that Chinami ended up staying an idol, but does that mean their together or not?

This was such a rushed and disappointing end...and that's just toning down my feelings...
The way this ended, it actually felt more like the manager was a player and only with her becuase he likes her, not loves her like Chinami loves him. The manga didn't really get a lot of room to show his side, and mostly onesided on Chinami.

I'm guessing the author was forced to finish this quickly and abruptly.

The big kiss literally made me say out loud and I quote

"I don't give a f*ck!"

Because seriously this is one of the series of manga/anime's I've seen that ship a relationship the entire way then try to justify a curve-ball at the end.

To me it just feels like the author just gave a really shallow ass reason for Chinami to LOVE Oguri.

Are they together at the end? I don't know, and I don't really care. There's another Gender Swap manga out that's still publishing that lets you know that the guy-turned-girl is falling for a guy but this story here, it went from "Am I conscious of him?" to "Whoa I Love Him!" and the girl he liked that liked him(Since they both confessed to each other) gets the non-existent shaft.

Here I am enjoying the damn manga and then the last few chapters I could see the author spitting on everything that happened prior to the last 2 chapters. You could argue that feelings for Oguri were growing, but it was also continuously being stated that he loved his sempai too(name escapes me at the moment.)

How I really feel?

Feels like the author was given a deadline to wrap up for a finale so they flipped a coin and decided who Chinami was going to be with based on that alone. Even then they botched it and didn't give a conclusive ending...to me that kiss didn't mean a damn thing.

And if what I read was labled right and 15.5 (The Valentine Chapter) was what came after the last chapter. To do a 8 page short for something DURING the course of events instead of an epilogue...what a complete slap in the face to me as a reader.

Son...I am Mother F*cking Disappoint.

It felt like a generic ending from a shounen romance series that focused on love geometry, and that is definitely not a good thing. Honestly, I never got the impression that he actually loved Yuika in any real way and I hate the whole "I'm a girl now so I'm biologically required to be attracted to guys" thing and the "I only think I'm attracted to girls because I used to be a guy, but when I really think about it, they just don't do it for me anymore" thing. There's no reason for it other than latent homophobia on the part of the author.

The series went on and on about how gender didn't matter, but as soon as the MC was turned into a girl he stopped making any real effort to get together with girls, even the supposed girl of his dream, even after she confessed to him, and instead, focused on having all of his/her romantic flags tripped by the only guy in the series.

Maybe its just because they tried to shove what would normally be 100+ chapters into 15, but I don't feel like this ending was justified/earned. Honestly, it felt like the two of them wound up together strictly because the author wanted them to and not because the characters themselves had any reason to.

Seriously, this could have been so much better.

1. like all ppl said above me... rushed ending

2. disappointed that chinami ended up choosing oguri, who's a shallow bastard that thinks of only outward appearances more than personality.

8/10 overall

Seriously It's a Bs ending! It was so rushed they could have fit another arch in! Any whats with the mc's choice of oguri? we never see him as loving chinami at all, and if he did love her shoulda shown his feelings, and no not the time he went with Chinami to the zoo while she was a loli cause that was so plain that tofu is jealous of how it was.

Chinami should have ended up with Yuika, I'm just gonna consider most of chapter 14 from the moment chinami rejected yuika to the end non-cannon and prefer to think that Chinami accepted the confession from yuika rather than oguri who would have had NO CHANCE AT ALL if Chinami had remained a guy!

Gosh It makes me think the publisher or author went "We can't have 2 girls love each other, It's taboo! Let's make her love Oguri so that our audience we think we are targeting can insert themselves into Oguri"

Im very happy to see im not the only one that think the mc should have chose Yuika. oguri is really shallow character, and theres not a reall reason for the mc to love him. i feel like the author wanted to ship them together from the start and forced it artificially, by making the mc blush all the time, and making yuika the "best friend".

I really didn't like that ending. We saw Yuika falling in love with him and coming over problem with gender - twice even! But the one who 'wins' is Oguri, who's never shown any romantic interest in Chinami. It felt like author just wanted to throw a twist at reader, but failed miserably.

Outside of that, it was really average manga. Ok-ish art, weak jokes, weak story. Add the ending and it lands at below average for me. 4/10.

What? Did it end just like that?

A kiss, and not even a confirmation that they would actually start dating or something?

Now that's disappointing
