It was a long run, but alas, in the end the mangaka seemed to have given up on the story in its final chapters.
I feel like there was SO much more room for story development, as well as for the development of our characters and their relationships.
The manga was shot to a new level of interesting in the second half. Things became intense. The story was really going somewhere... and then it was abandoned. I cannot put into words how much the ending was rushed. An entire conclusion to a story that was more than 80 chapters long, was squeezed into a mere 2 chapters and it pissed me the hell off. The logic of the story and characters was thrown right into the trash.
This was a really good manga, but the story and the characters deserved better. The ending sank my love for this manga halfway to the bottom.
