I honestly don't know what the creator was thinking at the end. Terrible series that looked up at the end, and then went down again.

YES!!!! I SO WANTED THIS!!!

I really hope my other ship sails.....Anime hyper

Treeborn, you're just bitter cause you like Yoshino Razz The creator knew EXACTLY what she was doing and she chose the ending she wanted.

I lose respect for creators who bend to fans' wills. Rolling Eyes

I am a tiny bit biased, but a lot of Aki fans were also unsatisfied with the ending. Theres no certainty there. It's like, if you're going to pair him with Aki, at least make it an absolute pairing instead of just implying that maybe they start dating somewhere in the future :/

And that after-story was no help either. No screen time together, and they only spoke in the phone for a few seconds. I mean, were you completely satisfied with that ending Chiibi?

I just hope this new series gets more moments of Masamune & Aki ^^ I mean, in the OVA we never get see any of that except for the phone conversation just like Treeborn said. Despite that I have no regrets about owning the OVA that comes with the last volume of the manga Smile Anyways, I'll look forward to read more of Masamune-Kun's Revenge series ^___^

What? Why....why do people SHIP her!? spoiler[Why would you want NTR characters to win!?

She almost ruined the lives of two people; she certainly ruined their childhood friendship....so she's trying to atone for it-DAMN RIGHT, SHE BETTER BE TRYING. The entire thing was HER FAULT.
SO REPENT, B**CH. Twisted Evil Cry and beg for forgiveness!!

You cannot possibly insist to me that after wrecking Aki's first love and being the direct cause of her bitter loneliness, Yoshino has the right to STEAL her man from her too?]


That's sick, guys. That would be the worst message ever. I do not like her at all. Sorry for venting....but I'm totally lost on why people support her and support this twisted pairing.

The only good excuse for NTR pairings is if the "stolen" one is a victim of an abusive relationship.....or their lover is dead. Otherwise it's just poor taste.

Lol damn, Chiibs just waiting to let that out Anime hyper IDK, I liked her because I thought she had more layers than the other girls, and thought her interactions with Makabe were more genuine than with Aki. But, well, it is what it is at this point.

These next after-stories should at least be a little more meatty than the recent OVA, though. That was way too much fluff for such little substance.

P.S. that was so not a make out lol that was small french

Ah, no wonder.

You really should read the manga though; I thought it was a great read. Some characters didn't even get an introduction in the anime and you might change your opinion on others when you get to all the backstories. Aki is sweet and Makabe is DELIGHTFUL. I can't tell you how many times that dork got me to laugh out loud with his obsession over how hot he is. xD

It is a cute shounen romance manga. So much better than "I-Have-No-Clue-Why-I'm-Still-Reading-This-But-Here-I-am-Ugh" Love and Lies.

.............yeah, for real. I'm STILL reading that. Lmao.

I wouldn't mind if Yoshino won.

Considering how nasty Aki has been for past say 10 years, I hated any ending where she was happy. Just because you have been traumatised once, it does not give you the right to treat everyone else like dirt.

So in the end, Masamune never had his revenge, Yoshino was abused for 10 years and Fujinomiya ended up sad and alone; Nasty Aki was rich, famous, then got together with the love of her life/childhood crush.

What a way to remind ourselves that life can be bloody unfair, even in animes.

Trauma is a terrible thing that can last an entire lifetime if you don't get treatment.
Don't make light of it, please. "Once" is certainly all it takes.

It's non-existent. The revenge he really wanted was on Yoshino; by the time he realized this, it was a moot point.

Quote:
Yoshino was abused for 10 years

"Abused"....no, not really. She was doing her job. People claim that Aki abused her too much but she was so attached to Aki, she decided to break a friendship that was stealing Aki's attention away from her. So apparently she was not abused enough to not be jealous over Makabe.

Quote:
and Fujinomiya ended up sad and alone

She is fine. She strikes me as a pretty strong character despite her situations...or perhaps she gained such strength because of them. And she is probably going to start dating Kou who is by far the sweetest character in the whole series; I cannot think of a BETTER outcome for her. xD

After many years of being alone, bitter, and unhappy, and then seeing the error of her ways, decides to step aside so the one who betrayed her can take her man, only to receive the shock that her feelings were requited after all yes, completely unfair. Rolling Eyes
