[MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS]

Let's start with an explanation first..
Of course, some of you would think that I rated the manga high enough while looking at others' reviews, you would see their rating is as low as 1.

To be honest, the manga wasn't that bad. Looking at the whole manga, it was enjoyable. Some of the reviews you will see in this manga are exaggerated, or they are overreacting about it. If you will read some of the reviews, they will state that they enjoyed it until chapters 258 or 272, or they would that it was one of the best manga they read until this specific chapter. Which is kinda funny lol.

Let's be professional so others can see how the manga really turned out.
Personally, looking at the whole manga, some scenes are pretty unreasonable. This manga is a slice of life, but some scenes are too unreasonable to happen. This made me question myself, "Are the characters are just immature or the manga seems to be unreasonable?"

If you're wondering what scenes are unreasonable, maybe for me the most unreasonable part is when Rui and Natsuo cancelled their marriage because Hina got in a car accident. Like dude, I thought Rui and Hina already talked to each other?! In the last chapters of the manga, we can see how Natsuo was broken after he heard that Hina was holding back. Well same goes for Rui, because she was eavesdropping from Mari's and Natsuo's conversation. Well for me, stopping the marriage because you heard that Hina was holding back seems so unreasonable. Since, first, why is Hina holding back? Because she wanted to support Natsuo in every choices he makes. Including the part where he chose Rui instead of Hina. It may sound selfish however, it's Hina's choice.

Secondly, the next part that seems so unreasonable was where Rui and Natsuo broke up. Well, I guess in this part Rui admitted that she was immature. So I guess I just need to flow with the story. But, let me tell why its unreasonable for me. Looking again, since this manga is slice of life, why immediately decide for a break up with your boyfriend for one mistake? Like man, Natsuo's reason is good enough.

What is Natsuo's reason? Because he did not want Rui to worry.
Some may say: "Well they are in a relationship, they are supposed to tell everything to each other, right?"
My answer to that: Since Rui is working overseas and it is really difficult to go back to Japan immediately. Well I also think that Natsuo didn't know that Rui can go back in Japan when she wanted to.

I think another reason why Rui was forced to decide a break up is why did Serizawa knew that Natsuo cannot write any longer. It is because as we can see in a chapter that Serizawa saw Natsuo at the Drama Club. Natsuo was cleaning up his things, but Serizawa asked him. That's why Natsuo told everything to Serizawa. But Natsuo didn't really told it to many people that he cannot right anymore. He told it to few people. In conclusion, it is unreasonable for me but, I think the author highlighted that Rui admitted she did the wrong thing.

Overall, the manga was good. It is worth reading, there's many life lesson you could actually learn in this manga. However, you would just get really disappointed if you're a fan of Rui or someone who seeks a reasonable, just, faithful, and happy ending.

If you'll ask me, I enjoyed the anime. But I guess I didn't like how Natsuo ended up with Hina instead of Rui. Take note, Rui and Natsuo has a daughter which just makes everything more disappointing.

But I hope you give it a try. Please do
