I just stopped after that. I didn't realize it then, but my mind might have broken too, I just didn't know it. The way the artist was drawing a more "mature" Yukino wasn't carrying off so well either, Arima started to look even prettier beside her as time went by, and he was already pretty enough to begin with. Well, it was good while it lasted. I would have preferred the unlikely detective Arima getting shot and killed in the line of duty later on in the future and Yukino ending up with Asaba, who also needs her "light" and who would bring up Arima's kid as his own (with no strange intentions). Oh well. I completely agree, I read volume 21 up until Asaba predicted Yukino would be having a baby girl, and that the girl would be his soul mate. I just stopped after that.

aww the fact that they married is really sweet; but i don’t like the “mediocre plastic surgeon” part and “hard work =/= brilliance”…

all in all, i find it horribly disturbing that asaba is pairing off with yukino and soichiro’s DAUGHTER and… wow, it’s saddening to see such a potentially awesome manga/anime go to waste.

it was enjoyable though.. before Gainax ran out of money with the animation…

I have to agree, there were chapters where the art was minimal and what was there wasn't good. I was tempted to bail, but I stuck it out. Manga and anime have a ridiculous percentage of characters who grow up practically as siblings and have romantic love. It sure doesn't work that way in the US! They may be friends, but they know too much about each other for romance. So I found Asaba's fated love a little hard to believe. Tho it was cute that she was bedrock certain about it and he was unsure. I couldn't accept the treatment Tsubasa got from her parents when she was working thru her feelings for Kazuma. Talk about tough love! Made me angry. Thanks for putting your take on the manga together.

I actually bought the series up through volume 17, but I couldn't bring myself to spend the $40 to finish it up -- the melodrama (and multiple pages of clouds, heh) were too much for me. I'm really glad I found your site; that maddening ending would have made my head explode, too. You're awesome! :) Thank you so much for posting these!

Thank you for the synopses! I just finished watching the anime and needed some closure. I scoured the web and even though I learned the ending (how timely that I didn't have to wait!) I wanted to know what happened in between. My itch has been scratched - thanks again for your labor, Erin! (And yes, I agree with you about the disturbing elements included in the story lines but enjoyed the rest of it nonetheless) Ahhh… Thank you for the synopses!

I can think of several reviews that would have benefitted from a drawing of my reactions to various bits of dialogue, action, and/or fan service. The web comic was a great touch.
