I feel you, but the aurther wanted this manga to seem as if they are living just like in reality and that people don't live forever...
It was sad and beautiful, but! It still ended happily because in the end they are together forever in heaven. If you look closely, the book Akira is reading at the end is "Top 100 Date Spots in Heaven" :)
I enjoyed this story, and really appreciated the fact that the uke became a little twisted at the end and reminded the seme of how much pain he caused by leaving him for a woman. However, I was more sad than happy with the ending--not because it wasn't good! But, because they died! I like to pretend that couples in stories live on forever together, in love, and live happily-ever-after for eternity. No death. So sad when they die...
