You mixed up the stories... This one was the sequel to Hana nomi zo Shiru, not Hana No Miyako. Also if you had read the manga correctly, you would've noticed the names of the characters are Arikawa and Misaki, not Akira.But, good news is, you now have a better manga than Hana no Miyako to read :)
This is so touching considering that Akira "achieved" the relationship his grandfather had to give up... This is a happy ending, but somehow still bittersweet, like at the same time it makes me want to cry at the thought that it was all thanks to his grandfather's tragic and impossible love, damn┗( T﹏T )┛
