Hoshino, Me o Tsubutte

@tolroc

It wasn’t really like an angry twist. As you can see by this recently translated chapter, they both still have a lot of growing up to do. The mc felt like he wouldn’t be able to do this as he was relying too much on everybody else. Which leads to the breakup. At the end of the pre epilogue final chapter, he finally starts to make said progress after seeing that Hoshino has made progress dealing with her self confidence w/o makeup issue. Then the manga ends with both of them smiling as they feel satisfied with their own progress. Then the epilogue happens.

tldr; the author decided to focus heavily on the characters improving themselves (the coming of age aspect as some call it) instead of the romance. He likely planned them growing up a bit and getting together again with some build up but didn’t have time to do so or something got in the way. Hence, the epilogue.

Author had an ending that many people didn’t like but then created an epilogue that came out a bit later. I posted another comment explaining the ending if you want details on it.

I don’t think that’s the case. The author really tried to make this a coming of age story from the middle towards the end where the main focus of the manga became them overcoming their individual issues instead of the romance element. Having some sort of conclusion when they are older make sense.
From a marketing standpoint, it also came out about 2 months after chapter 106 and his next manga didn’t come out until a year later iirc (last chapter came out summer 2018 and the next manga came out summer 2019). I think it’s more of a case of a rush than anything or simply because of the backlash (although I’m not sure how it was received in Japan).
 
can someone kindly explain to me why is this manga getting reviewed bombed? I geniunely dont know y, not saying this manga is god himself in terms of quality or anything
 
@3den im not sure but i think the review bombs happened when her face got revealed and her reception wasnt favorable. that was the last chapter we got for a while and many of us, me included, thought that was the last chapter and it got axed or something. so they probably review bombed it for having a shitty ending.

actually im wrong. looks like its had a 6.2 rating for a long time. idk then
