I don't understand why there are so many haters in this manga. Though the more popular the manga is , there more haters it gets and they are always very vocal. Just like Naruto, lots like it and yet lots despise it.
I seriously love this manga. The plot is cliche but still exciting. It's like Disney movies; all end with happy endings but people still watch and enjoy it. Thank you for scanlating! Please never stop.
Plus Harumi must have some bad feelings about Matsuri. She was giving her suspicious look.
They hate it because it sucks. And with good reasons, the author doesn't care for his story anymore. And it's been like this for a long time. He wanted to finish Naruto a lot quicker than the incoming ending.
But... Jump editors too strong, they will never let an author just end his series, must milk it dry...
The one shot he did a while back is actually the first work he wanted to make as a series but Jump liked Naruto better.
About the Disney analogy... The thing is everyone knows how it's going to end ( couple getting together in Citrus' case and happy endings in Disney movies ).
What actually matters is the journey, the execution going from point A to B. And there's nothing really innovative going on here.
Personally I've only read this to marvel at the art. I really, really like the thick lines.
