| I finally finished this manga. I don't know why people are bitching about the ending. I thought it was pretty satisfying. I can't help but laugh when I saw that wedding photo. All of the girls present in that photo made advances to Yamato in the past and now they're attending the wedding XD. |

| 7/10 It was very consistent and I enjoyed it. But compared to KNIM, well I enjoyed KNIM more but some arcs were really boring in KNIM. Suzuka was consistent throughout the whole story and the story always had a central focus, although I feel like this manga could've gone on to Yamato vs Arima race, that would've been a great ending. |
| This manga was never that good to begin with: slap stick humor, pretty typical drama, Suzuka being an absolute cunt. But it all clicked at one point for some reason, the cringeworthy moments and mistakes that our protagonist would make, the slight and occasional transformations that Suzuka make (and no she's not really a tsundere, more like a complete tsun and then a complete dere, so no), and most of all, how soothingly and seamlessly the sports backdrop was weaved into the rather melodramatic plot. Thus this made not only the plot all the more engaging for us adrenaline junkies but also the conclusion all the more powerful. Perhaps it was a romantic ending, an unrealistic antithesis to the brutal suffering that our protagonist had endured. But it wasn't. Because Suzuka was still a cunt (though a nicer one, if even possible), our protagonist still an airhead, and just like the manga stated at the end, everything was still pretty much the same when compared to their times in HS. And I think I like that. It didn't feel forced or anything-- no tragic ending nor complete disaster had to accompany the wholesomely organic slice of life feel and vibes that the manga had given off throughout its entirety. I especially loved the cheesy, albeit warming, foto of the couple with their friends and well ex's in the wedding photo. I also read the special but having the final moment be encompassing of a captured moment in time-- friends having a good time, uniting despite past hardships-- pays a strong homage to what the manga was really all about from beginning to end. |
| This MC.. kind of guy I hate the most.. Yesterday he likes Saki Honoka shows up, then he likes Honoka Suzuka return from america, He was just regretting not confessing to Honoka. But then when he see's Suzuka, he was like "oh it was Suzuka who I liked all along".. wth but still a good read.. :) 8/10 |

| Well there are many things I'd like to say but let's see... The manga really started as okayish with annoying characters like Suzuka (being all stubborn and bitch) and Yamato (Irresponsible and annoying, yeah said twice). We were never presented Suzuka's monologues and what not but of Yamato's everytime. I guess that's one of the reason, people came to hate her until the ending. We were presented Yamato's hardships most and so I think the series name should've been "Yamato" lol. I would've given the manga low score if it weren't for the ending... like really. Those last 10 chapters really redeemed the series a lot. Tho considering how past paced it got during the ending while being all slow and going into circles for rest of its journey. Liked the idea of throwing realism into the ending parts. Taking responsibilities of your actions, your mistakes, its consequences and coping up with the society even while abandoning your future. Yes, it may have not gone too well irl, it was presented nicely imo. But disappointed in the sports genre. There were many opportunities to make Yamato shine in the track and fields department and would've hold great potential, but guess it all ended with everyone's expectations remaining unfulfilled of Yamato without really achieving anything till the very end. Also, would've been great if we get to see other characters getting some spotlight. Was only glad to see Yuuka's story in the sideline. Hattori was introduced in the beginning and i thought he'd play some major role or something but hardly he got any screentime in it... About last chapter- Lol Hattori flirting with Miki was really cute and funny to see XD As I said, the should become a couple already. That wedding pic with everyone got me real hard :') It was annoying journey but guess having happy ending really topped it off. 8/10 for me (Coz of those last 10 chapters) |

| I hated Suzuka in most times, but it ended very well. I love the whole story. And the art was awesome, everything was detailed and female characters were drawn superwell. And a Christian wedding, huh? Nice. Btw, she is not Fuka (I checked scans, because I was curious if tls did it correctly, but they didn't), but Fuuka. Yes, it's a huge difference. PS I don't understand the whole hate for the ending. Really. |

| a good example of a manga who lasted long enough to become bad... story is all over the place and characters end up contradicting themselves on top of being pretty generic and boring Was good for like the first 70ch or so but went downhill afterwards 5.5/10 |
| Why is it listed with 171 chapters? |
