This was a cute and happy ending. I overall really enjoyed this series. There was some unnecessary drama in the middle, which could've been solved by talking and explaining - however, these are teenagers. I understood where Kou was coming from with his decisions, but his executions were not really healthy and thought through for the most part. Futaba helped him a lot, but he decided to take responsibility in a situation where nothing was his responsibility, hurting her. Futaba, though sweet for the most part, also made a huge mistake in my opinion by trying to forget one guy with another. This pretty much never works. I liked Kikuchi, but also the pressure he put on Futaba so shortly after having her heart broken was not good at all. I understood his motif, but still. The friendships and general growth these characters went through were really lovely and nice to follow. Definitely not a series without ups-and-downs, some unnecessary twists-and-turns and some childishness. But it was enjoyable and fun altogether.
