Review:
I respect how this series ended, which is probably an odd thing to
say.
This started with Asuka declaring that she knew what she wanted,
which was to marry and be a homemaker, and with Ryu stating he didn't
want to marry. They've both been through quite a bit, though it might
have dragged on in some places. I appreciate that Asuka decided she
might need to do something else for now, and that she didn't think
she and Ryu could be together, given how differently their wants
were.
I think it made sense, how things play out from there. Asuka ended up
going down a different path than she expected, and I think she was
happy with that. I'm glad that the drama with Kamiya was actually
resolved, finally. The relationship between Asuka and Ryu was
resolved sweetly, too, and I'm happy with their ending. They kind of
both needed to do their own thing for a while, before they could
finally meet in the middle, and that made sense.
Parts of this series seemed to drag on, and then the ending came
quicker than I expected, but overall I'm happy with how it ended. It
didn't feel rushed, and it made sense for the characters, so I can
appreciate that.
