All throughout the story I was wondering why this was an 8.8 cause it was moving toward the 9+ direction for me but I think the ending was a bit underwhelming. I think it just wasn’t enough to convince me that Shirato was truly over Ran. I kinda wanted that feeling that Shirato would still be in love with Kuroda even if Ran wasn’t a cheating prick. Maybe a bit of a chase should have happened? Like a realization that even if Ran wanted him, Shirato still wanted to be with Kuroda. The whole thing just made me feel like he was settling and it rubbed me the wrong way. Everything leading up to that was great anyways.
