started off pretty good with what seemed to be a compelling plot, but climax and ending all seemed forced, especially with the addition of the second girl to akis life, which felt like a storyline added naturally but thrown aside hurriedly to make sense of what was going to happen w aki and mill, absolutely no closure w nakagoshi. the other secondary characters have the potential to be developed well, but also arent. im overall giving it a 7 because of how it started and it was a "feel-good" kind of read, but without the setup/beginning of the manga looking at it from the midto end chapters, which is the bulk of the story, its a 6 or even a 5.
