I was hoping for more fluff and to see the actual confession or kiss, but I got the ending I wanted. Worth the read for me, honestly. At least it wasn't a shitty ambiguous ending.
I don't know what's worse; the fact the two friends are now most likely dead, or the fact a good chunk of comments are just degenerates complaining about not seeing nipples of all things.
It really sucks this had to be dropped, but I'm hoping it get picked up again or a group will translate this instead: https://www.pixiv.net/user/30612000/series/82799
It's somewhat similar in concept, except the guys don't crossdress, too... yet.
