The story is fantastic. The love triangle (or square?) is incredible, and the way it gets you involved is breathtaking. The characters are almost all very interesting, and from chapter 1 to 52 you basically keep yearning for more. I read the whole thing in a day, over the course of 7 or so hours, and I wasn't bored not even one second.
That being said...
What the FUCK was this ending? I seriously can't stress a worse ending for a manga. All the building up of their relationship as well as the friendship between Taichi and Tuoma just to trash it in four fucking sentences? And the university plot was basically just flavor since it didn't mean shit in the end?
I can't even put into words the disgust I felt seeing Futaba with her new husband. I felt like I was being stabbed in the heart. Of course, while you're reading the previous chapters you have an idea that this might happen, but it made no fucking sense. The story is SPECIFIC on how they are BEST FRIENDS FOREVER. And how Taichi really loves Futaba. Who would consider an ending like this for the manga? Who in their sane mind would do this? Why? This is the equivalent of emotional terrorism. And I swear I am not even exaggerating.
I love the Touma character. If this were an alternative ending, I would think it is fine. BUT IT IS NOT. This is the real deal. This is the official ending.
I don't know how there aren't more people angry over this.
