NO SPOILERS: Honestly, it was a very infuriating experience, I just could not enjoy reading this shit. The main characters are annoying and I can't really understand their actions most of the time. It seems like the plot had to move a certain way and the characters would act in a way to get to that plot point even though sometimes it made no sense. None of Takao's affection towards any of the girls feel genuine, and it's also hard to grasp why these girls are attracted to him at all.
At the end, I wondered what was this story. Is it a good romance? Not in a million years. Is it a good coming of age story? I don't think so. Is it a good thriller/psycological work? No. It's just bad. It's too edgy in a way that made me cringe several times. No wholesome ending could ever save this manga. Just read any other work by this author and you'll be in for a better story.
But speaking of the author... In one of the extras this guy actually admits to hiding in a bathroom with a hand mirror, and waiting hours in hope that a woman would walk in. And the way he sexualizes middle school girls on this manga made VERY UNCOMFORTABLE. Also, let's not forget SPOILERS BELLOW

there's an actual rape scene where one of these middle school girls forces the MC to have sex with her and proceeds to brag about it. YIKES.
