I completely agree. I don't that ending as fluffy at all. Not that it would be better if they were all lovely dovely but I think a lot of people misunderstood what Harada wanted ending to be.

Only Harada could make me feel even a twinge of sympathy for a character like Niichan. It's interesting to see observations of the "beautiful" ending. It seemed rather pitiful to me. Up to the very last moment Niichan was obsessed with Mai's father. Once he realised that improbable reunion was never going to happen he resigned himself to his only other option. At the end he looks like nothing more than an animated shell: worn down, worn out, submissive, with hardly a trace of his former spirit...and finally showing his age lol.
