Use spoiler tags, I already know the final ending, but would like to know how they get there. I think that something big happens before the final ending, so spoil away.

With two volumes left, plenty is going to happen. So use spoiler tags so you don't spoil us.

kk, wish more people read this, this is probably one of my most favorite romances/comedies, its sweet and geniune.

[yongshun]

Yeah this series to me was a little slow but that is what I think of a lot of series these days, I really like the characters because they are not high school kids although most seem to act like elementary kids. A real slice of life where the people are around my age.

Spoiler for Ch. 125:

Damn, if I may say so, that was an expensive ring. Do rings like that typically got for that much? I don't know how the exchange is supposed to go exactly, but that ring is about $3500 USD. Phew, it looks like a simple ring, but it sure is pricey. No wonder he needed that winter bonus.

Spoiler for Ch. 125:

You know, I usually feel sad for the loser in this type of love triangles. I just couldn't feel sad for Hamaoka, because I think she is actually the winner. I just don't think that fuguno is such a great catch. It doesn't matter how kind and nice he is. I think the only chance for fuguno to be happy is with Nagisa. Nagisa couldn't go out with any other type of man, because of her issues. Nagisa deserves a better man, but with her handicap she is better off with fuguno.
Hamaoka will not have a hard time finding herself a good man.

[Nosauz]

Really? Golthin u really think Fuguno would be a bad person to fall in love with? Im a dude and I think that its sweet were you don't have a typical male lead, who is charismatic, but instead you have this flawed human being who really wants to make everyone happy. Kind of similar to makoto from futari ecchi, but I really think Fuguno is a really cool character, and there are moments of pure gar from a typical wimp, it shows really great depth in his character, and I really fell in love with the characters who aren't living the fairy tale but really do live through the troubles of day to day life.

i didn't say he is a bad person. I said he is not a great catch. Big difference...

[Nosauz]

thats your definition, someone who is loyal and kind sure beats those "good" looking narcissitic male leads, any way the difference your talking about is a pretty shallow one, but who am I to judge.

[DragoZERO]

Spoiler for Chapter 125:

Oh snap! Poor Hamaoka. I have to say it was stupid to tell her about the proposal. I can see her doing everything in her power to come in the way. Should have waited until it was a done deal and there was nothing she could have done.

Spoiler for :

I don't feed bad for her. Its obvious where Fuguno's heart is. She's just been a stubborn and naive girl. She has a decent guy already doing his best for her. Funakoshi is pretty dumb though. The guy will be number two forever, I wouldn't want that.

Yes.. quite shallow.

[yongshun]

ahhhh the entire volume 16 was just released and wow just wow after all her misunderstandings Nagisa almost gave up on Fugano due to another misunderstanding. You know their whole relationship so far has been a series of misunderstandings but at least in the end Nagisa finally realize who she love after all.

[danin8r44]

I don't think that either Nagisa or Fuguno are a good catch for anyone but themselves. Nagisa would be absolutely dominated by any other male she went out with, or she would drive her partner absolutely insane with her irrational misunderstandings and with the socially retarded actions she takes to deal with her misunderstandings. Fuguno simply isn't what most women are looking for and is nearly as socially awkward as Nagisa. The reason that the relationship in this manga is occasionally sweet is because these two individuals who on their own have a plethora of inadequacies are able to become stronger people by being with each other. Or, at least I would say that if they didn't have one of the most misunderstanding ridden and socially awkward relationships in the history of manga. I mean, Nagisa actually simply left to her hometown over a misunderstanding when she was about to be proposed to. Neither side was able to talk it out, Fuguno himself only put in one phone call to her. I thought the backwardness of their relationship was done after Nagisa was intelligent enough to almost run off with her first love, but no I was wrong. Sure eventually she decided to go back, but I was really disappointed with this development. Now I see no hope from a realistic perspective of these two having a healthy long lasting relationship, even if the manga ends saying that they do.

Yes, I have officially given up all hope on these two people. Surprised I didn't earlier.

[iceyfw]

i just caught up to about chapter 87 or so. i must say nagisa is pretty stupid in my eyes. fuguno tried so hard for her and even got fired from the company because of it. then she goes off and decides to get married for the kid, but is having second thoughts about it. i pretty much stopped reading at that point.

ahh little by little people realize what messy plot combined with awkward characters this series is made of. Respect to those who will stay to the end.

While it is true the plot is messy and the characters are awkward it is still a really sweet story of a lovable loser and a shy pretty girl.

[DragoZERO]

I'm pacing myself, like a chapter a week (if I can) since volume 17 won't be out any time soon. But I did read the first two chapters of this new volume.. this manga is awesome.

[DragoZERO]

Just finished volume 16. I paced myself best I could, lol. I can't wait for the final volume, this manga is awesome.

[yongshun]

The final volume has been scanalated satisfying end in my opinion.

[DragoZERO]

I just finished it myself.

Spoiler for Volume 17:

It was definitely a bit rushed but it was a great ending. Everyone was happy and the time skip was done nicely. There was plenty of classic funny moments too. I would have thought we'd see Masuo freak out on their first night as husband and wife, but whatever.

I give this series a 5 out of 5.

Spoiler:

the best thing about the last volume was that Hamaoka didn't settle for Funakoshi and is still looking for true love. the guy is persistant and i laughed at his desperation move.

by the way if you liked this series you should try "Orange Yane no Chiisana Ie" little house with a orange roof by one of the people that worked in Yume de Aetera, same art.
