*sniff sniff* what a great manga and what a sad end!! although before i read the manga i have already known the ending of the series prior to watching X beforehand and so on, but i really didn't know that it would be this sad! from the beginning of the manga, the cases or jobs which sumeragi subaru (the 13th head of the sumeragi clan - a bunch of omnyoujis or smth) works on are all very interesting stories and a particularly heart-touching one would be the one about the grandfather and his daughter. that is the first story that drew tears in my eyes. the plus points for this manga does not lack of character development of course! loveee the relationship between subaru-kun, seishiro-san and hokuto-chan. love all the scenes where hokuto were trying to push the two of them (despite them being the same gender. yes, she's a bit warped but in one of the scenes, it might even suggest that she's okay with dating with girls too.) together. and all the 'yes, i'll do my best to win subaru-kun's heart!' from sei-chan and all the shy blushing from subaru-kun. sigh... too bad all these ended when a year finally rolls by and it's time for sei-chan's real physcotic self to be revealed and fulfill the stupid bet he had with subaru when he was much younger. and hokuto-chan sacrificing herself for subaru's sake is just too sad!! i really love they're twins and how she takes care of subaru-kun which is younger than her. their relationship between them and how the manga ended crushed my heart. how can sei-chan ever say that subaru-kun is not special and means nothing to him??!! face it, sei-chan!! you're both meant to be! how could you hurt him like that?! and now, with hokuto-chan gone, poor subaru drops aside his dream to become either a zookeeper or a veterinarian (just like me!) and continues working hard on his 'jobs' and took up a bad habit of smoking without hokuto and seishirou by his side which is absolutely so sad and lonely for him. can't wait to continue on X's manga cuz i'll get to feast on an older version of subaru-kun and sei-chan! and a lil' bit of hokuto-chan too, but not much. sigh, gonna miss her quirky ways.
now i just wanna have a shout-out!! (without any sense)
SUBARUUUUUUU-KUNNNN!!! HOKUTOOO-CHANN!!! SEI-CHANNNNN!!!
