Me too but I can see how these kind of stories end:
-he will pour his heart in the novel as apology
- the ex will read it and fly to see him
-he will tell him he never forgot him and he was collecting money to move to Tokyo to be with him.
-they live happily ever after like nothing happened.
Btw this is not a spoiler this is my guess from reading way too many similar stories. I wish for once we get realistic ending where says sorry I moved on good luck with your writing. Just once I want that satisfying ending but I know I won’t get it.
tbh i think this is a totally realistic thing to happen ? long distance is insanely rough, and it’s more painful the more you like the person, mc wanted to break up because he felt selfish and guilty for not being able to prioritise yuki’s feelings, which is true, their relationship felt too unbalanced and unfair - that along with the fact that they won’t be able to see each other anymore just hurts. they both broke up because they loved eachother so deeply, it would be totally normal if they still held each other in their hearts in present time ? plus, mc wasn’t waiting and yearning for yuki to reach out, he doesn’t expect anything from him - if yuki does reach out that’d be completely his own decision. idk i rly liked the writing ;-; it felt melancholy and beautiful
I don’t read manga for realistic lol. The complete ghosting isn’t realistic anyway. They were in love yet they didn’t keep in touch after that convo at all? And now they’re gonna meet again (since that’s what the story is alluding) and probably get back together which I wouldn’t say is realistic. It just feels out of nowhere and meh.
breaking up because of the long distance is literally SUCH a common reason for break up, loads of people in r/s can’t handle not seeing their partner for such long amounts of time it’s so normal and sure you don’t read manga for realism but many many people do, including me :))
That’s cool for you then. Like I said, I just didn’t like the way it was going. Having them get together and then a sudden ghost for 5 or whatever years feels bad.
I hope the other guy found a cute boyfriend in those 5 years. I get the author wants to create suspense or heartache but there’s legit no reason to break up like they did and then not talk again for FIVE years. Do they expect each other to not find someone else? And just wait forever until ML decides he’s ready to reach out? Ugh. How is straight up breaking up and yearning for 5 years any less painful than a long distance relationship for a few years?
