Kim knows how to pick his battles.

Kawato may be missing, but he is not absent.

Quite a trip since "I like you. Chinatsu Senpai, I like you a lot." in chapter 103 -- eight months ago for readers...

From my point of view, the problem wasn't the last chapter, which I thought was a marginally clever way to complete a manga that did not have much of a plot or strong characters. Mimiel had one victory criterion, "Learn to love." She gave up her own life for Ren. And, as Jesus said in John 15:13, "Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one's life for his friends." As such, it's a fitting ending for a marginal manga (with many misquotations of the Bible).

The indie film idea is indeed different, and is playing into what Ryou might see as a career.

Giving up your own interests to help someone else.

Sadly, many moderately bright young people with no goals take that route, because that is what they have seen and grown up around. Then after investing time in college, and internships, you learn too late that teaching school is a thankless job where you can't please everyone , has a lot of internal and external politics, and much time spent off the job grading papers. (At least this is so in the US.) I have known many teachers that regretted their choice. Math and science teachers have marketable skills, so they are hard to retain. Practically, the rest are trapped, though I know of one English teacher who became a successful real estate salesman. Many of them count off the years until retirement longingly.

I'm a mathematical businessman of sorts (actuary, quant), so I would give my wife who was a high school math teacher a break by helping her grade papers on occasion. If she didn't need it, I would study for my actuarial exams. She was grateful to me that she could quit teaching, and become a full-time wife and mother. She loved it.

Mikumo, the best strategist of the bunch!

If democracy and capitalism play favorites in a major way, they invite fascism and socialism to show up.

Taiki knows Chinatsu well -- she needed to deal not just with the pain, but the sorrow as well. She can put up a bold front, but she really wanted to win it the first time.

Unlike at the beginning of the story, Minji now has high confidence in her Dad.

This is an old manga, and kind of silly, but it is cleverly done.

Aniya may not understand a woman's heart, but at least now he understands a woman's hand. Yeow!

A reasonable portrayal of crypto, perhaps excluding Bitcoin and Ethereum. There is nothing backing them. At least national currencies have taxation authority behind them... but gold is the best.

And the game is a forfeit, maybe?

An ending that makes no sense. Momo did nothing worthy of losing the trust of Yoichi.

What?!

Well, that was sweet.

Weddings tend to beget more weddings, but hasty weddings don't endure so well. It is good to spend time analyzing whether you agree with each other in critical areas: Have kids or not? How to raise them? How do we work out disagreements? Whose career is more dominant for the good of our family?

Former adversaries gain an appreciation for each other.
