    Yeah, I don’t particularly mind this ending either. I mean, yeah, it’s rushed, but it’s far from the worst endings I have seen. Out of curiosity I went and checked out the reddit discussion thread for the end, and you would think Aka was the stalker that killed all their parents or something.

      Yeah, seems Reddit has a different take, ranging from rage to dissapointed…mmmm, I guess you could say it is a real life version of the pressure of the media where you have people who look to find deeper meaning in a work and you have others who take a more surface look or react emotionally with them comparing the work to others that left them disappointed.

      Almost like Love Today or Tokyo Blade

      Shows you why Aqua decided to try bury all his family trouble with him

      All I can think of is people carrying expectation from Aka’s other work and how his earlier stories proverbially poisoned the well so to speak - as there seems there is a feeling of Aka not being able to “end a series”.

      Cannot help but think of the Manga artist scenes at the start of the play arc and how it is re-enacting it self out.

      People loved the characters and are probably dissappointed in not receiving the payout they felt they deserved or expected from the personal investment in the story.

      I say fair enough, hope no one takes it too far then the show becomes too real, but I have to try accept that not everything clicks with people like same way things do not click with me
