Was this rushed at the end or what?
Some things; Kase Eiko really got off scot free despite being a sadistically torturing Rena for 2 months, I guess we are supposed to forgive her because she had a jilted love when she was a child? She hardly did enough to redeem herself.
Asou was the weak link here, Agawa really shouldn't have gotten back together with her. If she hadn't of reacted like a fucking psycho when Rena was (obviously) trying to get a rise out of her, none of the bad things that happened would have occurred.
The Shimatani character is ridiculously depthless. When did he become a doctor? What was his motivation up until the tacked on thing at the end there? His random hatred of Asou? Why does he hate women? Because he's homosexual? He just felt like 3 different unfinished characters thrown together to try to tie loose ends and make a dramatic end.
Someone else made a comment earlier that the manga should have ended with the hot springs chapter, and I wholeheartedly agree.

Yeah, this whole section was frankly unnecessary drama ramped up to an unnecessary level. It would have been kind of okay even if it just ended with the three of them getting split up but maybe all growing as people as a result. If I ever reread this, I'm probably stopping at the hotspring myself.
Still, I suppose the ending ran back around towards where it shouldn't have even left in the first place at least? That's something, maybe. I dunno, I just have a much worse ending or two in mind I guess. After you read something like Ibitsu for instance, you can probably appreciate the ending here a little more than you really should. Seriously, fuck the ending of that one. No one was happy, no one became better people even. It was worse than a reset to before the series had started for them, even.

I don't know how to feel about this ending. Some say it was rushed, but I don't feel like it. What I do feel is that all the drama was incredibly unnecessary because it didn't let the writer to flesh out the "evil" characters more.
Mangaka tried to make the evil characters sympathetic, but was knee deep in drama with unnecessary characters that it didn't allow them to be properly fleshed out and their half-assed motivations made them feel more ridiculous than sympathetic.
Also FUCK ASOU! Fucking cunt was the weakest link, the one that deserved major punishment yet she got to live happily ever after. Also Agawa never grew as character. I have nothing against flat arcs (Marty Mcfly is one of my favorite characters of all time), but Agawa felt gutless or spineless for never telling what he actually felt to any of "his women", specially Asou, who is a major cunt by the end even though she ended up being the "hero" of the clusterfuck she created.
Still I was glued to this manga until the end. I felt anger, anxiety, relief and many other things and I feel mildly satisfied with the ending but it also left me really frustrated by cutting off the growth of Rena and complicating things more than necessary.
This story could have been told with at least 70 chapters instead of 95, but I guess mangaka has to put food on his/her table.
