@codydub03 He didn't even know her long enough, it's not like it was a lifelong crush. He realised he had no chance and so he got over it. That's what happens normally.
@Ghostdevil same as above

@Darklight99 I'm confused? Lol, all I was getting at was the fact on how they portrayed him as being a "loner" type and the affection he had for her didn't stop, it just shifted to a different form. A heart break led to having a literal best-friend.

 

[Darklight99]

@codydub03 Yeah I guess I wanted more to say that to the one you were replying to.

@Darklight99
Its because it was narratively important. His crush was a big fraction of his character arc, it didn't resolve well at all honestly. Realistically yes your most likely right, but in a narrative its just a crash and burn since it didn't really lead much of anywhere. The loss of his crush really wasn't going anywhere, it skipped to the end of an entire character arc instead of going through it. Thats the big problem.

@Ghostdevil I disagree, Yuu getting a true companion over a girlfriend is better for him and the story. It wasn't too major a plot point. As much as it was Yuu getting someone close to him to begin with, and him getting over and not getting too sad about him gave him nice characterisation.

@ghostdevil Most crushes don't resolve well.

The series actually got canned for no one buying it. Now I feel bad. A shame too since I really liked the shounen style take on the spiderman mithos. Although marvel already does kinda have a definitive younger Spiderman who adds more diversity and is loved by fans. I still feel bad though because this had such potential and partly because of book sales it flopped.

Aw that’s a shame I really liked it.

@micahtalyor
Ya I was liking this sorta world and the changes. A real shame. I liked the new dynamics it was presenting with someone taking up the mantle not only in collage life but as his secret identity was revealed.

But something like this is just hard to sell because most comic readers won’t read manga and most manga readers won’t read comics (partly because of a generational OR geographical barrier).
