El final me ha dejado un poco descolocada, por una parte puedo llegar a entender la decisión de la protagonista, por otra parte me parece un poco infantil. Aún así, hay momentos muy graciosos en esta serie y me ha gustado mucho cómo se tratan las crisis existenciales de los treintañeros de hoy en día, y cómo los problemas de la vida cotidiana se afrontan mejor con amigas.
What if, what if I told you I loved these What If Girls?

I feel like I've been on this year-long journey with Ringo as well.
I now understand the ending way better than I did in the drama and I am very happy with it. Thank you Tokyo Tarareba Girls!

what the fuck was that......this ruined feminism. (literally predicted the ending in my first review....)
A fine ending, though not as satisfying as I had hoped. I was turned off by the love interest basically asking the main character to change him (cuz that always works in real life lol) but her refusal to really change herself to make that happen was nice. Higashimura has said in the bonus strips that she doesn't think women need to get married to be happy, but that's only hinted at in the story. Granted, by the end no one IS married, but it was such a focus for so long it's hard to ignore.
I really, really wanted to love this series.
There are some great traits here. The characters are (mostly) lovable and believable. It has a very Sex in the City vibe, which I loved, basically best friends struggling to find love and acceptance. The trio of main characters, and even a lot of the side characters I found myself utterly invested in.
The artwork is gorgeous and reflects the mental angst the characters are going through perfectly.
The drama is well paced with me reading the last 4 volumes in one sitting.
But at the end of the series I still found myself unsatisfied.
The main love interest through out the story is a utter jerk. He constantly is putting down our main character, offering a little help, then putting her down again. Our poor protagonist gets jerked around by Key and other men so frequently that I truly empathized with her break down moments.
I didn't like the overtones of going out with friends blocks you from finding romantic partners. Maybe this is it showing I am not the target demographic but I just didn't love that. Sex in the City at its best is a celebration of independent female friends, but this story felt often like a cautionary tale against it... which is ridiculous.
************ Spoilers******************
The story ends; however, and our character decides she is trying to be less worried about her own happiness and more worried about Key, the dude who has been a dick to her the whole book?! It's written off as him reflecting on his own sadness, but that isn't an excuse. I also hate the lesson of, in order to find a husband, women need to put their own needs on hold, and be more concerned about the man.... uh what?!
I absolutely adored Princess Jellyfish, and I loved parts of this series, but it is no where near as good, or concise a story as Jellyfish. If you are debating between the two do yourself a favor and just read Princess Jellyfish.
