Let's put it this way: as long as Tsutomo and Lily still have the possibility of getting together and this chapter shows them growing to that direction, the ending's trajectory makes things alright. Let's be honest, the likelihood that this will be serialized is very high considering the popularity and quality of the webcomic.
@Skrist It’s like this all the time. Whenever a manga doesn’t end the way they wanted it to or didn’t go as long as they wanted it to, they become idiots and spam Axed without doing any type of research at all.
The author made no qualms about hinting at the growing romantic relationship between the two, and in the end they did nothing. Even something as simple as holding hands would've been enough at the very least, but the characters remained static. Still, it was decent for what it was.
