I never thought this series was all that great, so I forgot about it. Then, I learned that I was missing just the last volume. I thought I might as well complete it, so I bought it. Except for Ayase, none of the other characters really needed to be there to get the story told. At least it's a happy ending. I happened to like Nakahara Mai, so that's good, not that she has anything to do with the manga.
