![]() Previous Chapter: Slice of Black Chocolate Chapter 2: The Vampire & I Team Rui or Team Hina, I think we can all agree that it felt-for a lack of better words-random.Read Slice of Black Chocolate Chapter 3: Children Can't Choose Their Parents Online The ending of Domestic Girlfriend just didn’t hit the mark the way it could’ve. I mean no disrespect towards the mangaka, and I don’t believe she deserves the hate that she has been getting for the last minute turn in the plot. The ending was almost made clear, and then it got blurry and then we ended up with something that tried to satisfy everyone, but instead comes off as a “last minute idea.” With all the effort put forth into exploring a certain relationship, it was too late in the story to have a “final revelation.” All that needed to happen was for the story to conclude. This was a story that shouldn’t have worked, and it was made to work. This ending could’ve worked well with proper set-up and delivery. I, as with many others, believe it could’ve been better, and it should’ve been better. I know there are people that probably enjoyed this ending, and I’m glad that they did. However, it doesn’t end where the arrow pointed, and instead uses shock factor in a twisted ending that feels completely rushed and fan fiction-esque (love me some fan-fics tho…). Despite the concept, its storytelling isn’t half-bad and it actually manages to create a storyline where this “relationship” seems requited enough for the main couple to get married. That would’ve been nice.ĭomestic Girlfriend is a manga that has pulled people in because of its “ interesting” starting point. Then in a couple years, someone could write a side story on Hina, and how she learned to love after the tragedy that befell her several times in the series. Twisted it may be, but a satisfying ending it could’ve been. All that was left to do, was to end the story. We go from Natsuo and Rui doing wedding preparations in Chapter 267, and everything falling apart shortly after.īy this point all the characters have accepted the way they feel, and have settled into their roles. The story changes in the last SIX CHAPTERS. It really looks like Natsuo and Rui are going to tie the knot, and the story is built to make it look like that is going to happen. Even though the ending is (somewhat) wholesome, it feels uncalled for. The series starts with the idea of a fetish, and sadly, with all the character building and relationship building, it ends with one too. A weird family situation indeed, but a very uncalled for and unnecessary one as well. What I believe Sasuga was trying to get at was the, “both of them the win in the end” feeling. In simple terms, it really makes no sense for this to happen in the last two or three chapters. In the eyes of many, this was very uncalled for because the series-while also focusing on Hina and Natsuo-was plot driven by the actions of Rui and Natsuo. Chapter 275, leaves off with Rui basically telling Natsuo that he should marry Hina while she’s still in a coma, for the symbolic representation that their love was. In the house is Natsuo, Rui, their daughter Haruka, and Hina in a coma. If you subtract all the ecchi scenes from the manga, you basically get a slice of life story about aspirations and relationships (and a dude dating his step-sister).įlash forward into the future, and now they live as a family of four. This is where I’ll give Domestic Girlfriend props. Despite what people might think, Sasuga makes a valiant effort to write a romance story about unrequited love, and kind of makes it work.Ī lot of the plot has to deal with dreams and careers. ![]() The “step-sister fetish.” The “older teacher fetish.” It’s true that this is how the story starts, and it’s curiosity that pulls readers in to the series. However, it makes sense that a lot of the anime/manga community would make fun of this series, because it essentially plays to fetishes. ![]() Sasuga was able to write a story that portrayed a relationship that shouldn’t be allowed, in the most “tasteful” way possible. The series is about the trials and tribulations of their “unique” relationship. ![]() Over the course of 276 chapters, Rui and Natsuo are romantically involved with each other for a sizable portion of it. Much of the series deals with Rui and Natsuo as a couple. Much of the outrage against the manga comes from the direction Kei Sasuga-the mangaka-took with the series. Just critiquing the ending, not the entirety of the series. ![]()
