>>3815256Yes that's the reason, I watched the anime and loved it until the last 10 mintues which made no sense to me and I spent a few hours tracking down that the source material and verifying the real story ending. The manga i assume is like the anime.
The anime's ending basicly screwed up a whole bunch of stuff but Nezumi randomly leaving was by far the worst, so bad it seems it had to be intentional or something. How could they accidently leave out the hopeful ending and replace it with him just randomly turning around and leaving??? Pissed me off but I'm glad i found out what the real ending was. I relied on people's sumarized translations of the book which is only in Japanese, where they summarize the events chapter by chapter.
In the book Nezumi promises to come back and kisses Shion, the author never verifies if he does come back or not so its up to the audience to wonder. Since Nezumi keeps his word it seems obvious to me he will.
Even though its pretty short anime and not just about the romance I feel like its one of the best done romances so it sticks with me
