I wouldn't say it's depressing, I actually laughed a bit at the end.. sort of like, I knew it HAD to happen, and I actually REALLY loved how it was so sudden and so "final", like no excuses, no explanations, just get there because that's what's meant to happen. This was really good.
Rabu Kare - Gokujou Men Dokuhon!
1 PSA kids should be more conscientious when having sex. 2 Do things seriously, like it matters; don't cut corners or be mediocre "just to pass" 3 The other side of Lars and the Real Girl. In the end, I'm not sure... was it a tragedy because ya'know she's a mannequin, or did she get turned into human permanently when he picked her up? 4 Ah, the bliss of youth 5 I know its goal was to encourage women to "love themselves", but I couldn't help but be ticked off. It seemed like the woman was only there to take care of the house/child and look pretty, all her husband did was complain about her lack of cooperation to make him look good and "show her off" once she looked pretty again. 6 Fluffy shoujo version of Kuzu no Honkai?

1 Fluffy shoujo version of Kuzu no Honkai? 2 Awkwardly-paced romance, I couldn't really relate to their feelings at all. 3 It was a bit of a sweet story, there were a few questions that I thought should have been addressed, but overall it wasn't bad. 3.5 This one was actually quite refreshing to read, I could understand both their circumstances and, as much as it pains me to admit, I was surprised that both of them actually thought out their positions and made good and rational choices. 4 It was a nice story, but didn't really like the pacing for Sensei changing his mind about her, felt too quick that it became sort of shallow or fake. 5 Just one word: bittersweet. 6 I feel like this could have been the best story of them... but that ending seemed so strange... not in what happened, but more in how it happened and the time things took to happen. It felt REALLY odd, considering they had taken up so much time building things up. Also, what was the deal with glasses girl? was her presence even relevant?

While I wasn't particularly fulfilled by the ending, I don't think it was so bad. At least to me, it was pretty clear that things would turn in the right direction in their near future, Miss 3rd Place noticed their feelings before they noticed themselves, Nerd Girl is fully aware of them now and you can see that Mr Idiot's opinion of how much she gets to him is starting to crumble and while he still can't see it for what it is, doesn't mean he won't eventually. ...I think this is the first time I spend _that much_ time in the what-ifs of the after-it's-over of a manga xD

I liked the second story far better... wish it had been 4 chapters long and that the other one had stopped on the first :P

...I really hope that's not the END end of the story...
