Thought she's going to say, "Mother's death is too much for me" as reason behind her action but nope, instead;
"Dammit, Dad! You made me looks bad in front of my boyfriend. What will my friend say if they ever caught what you do?!"

Koto is difficult to handle but compare to her Miya is no hope.

For this very reason she needed character development more than anyone else

Underwhelming ending

Very lame ending indeed .

Who came up the English title "One of the great secrets of a femme fatale"?

The manga was criticized on Twitter due to the relationship. The manga still receive the supporters The author responds that she wanted to depict the story of a burned out middle aged salaryman. In her subsequent interview, she suggests that the plot is also her way to understand her ex-husband. It suggests the author projects herself as Miya. After the manga ended, the author said the character interaction was inspired by her father and her(the salaryman and his daughter). I think the author is merely implying conflicts and emotion from the urban life.

Some people believe that ending hinting that the salaryman and Miya's friend will cross the path again. Since they have the dialogue that "the moon is beautiful", which has similar Japanese pronunciation of the confession statement. Now, they are on a separate ways and get going with their lives.

So, Miya is getting very friendly with her classmate. He looks like a player. Will she find her happiness?

They're keeping their distance until the legal issue gets solved by her turning 18, that was what was told by the story several times.

Now you mentioned it, I wonder if tankoubon will have epilogue with mature Koto as, while she's referred by Miya as popular female student on her school, the title hardly touched. Reminds me at first I expected a story about female teenager taking control of a depressed ojii-san from said title, not a father-daughter drama with mirroring case.



As for Miya, I'd say she made good choice as his boyfriend seems care enough to respect and inform Kosuke of Miya current mental state despite Miya depiction about him.
Probably the correct 'concern' about this boyfriend of her would be, "How long he can endure her (Miya)?". IMO their last seen interaction is indication he's getting tired with the drama and do acknowledge her as source of her own issue.

^Miya is going to end like Koto's mother
