It always feels nicer when the "good" characters get the happy endings but I can enjoy a story about toxic relationships (I absolutely love Scum's Wish). It's just that the one thing I ask for out of any story is a good sense of closure... that being said WHAT HAPPENED WITH HARUKI AND MOCHI!?
I get that Haruki was rejected and seemed to accept it rather than getting hung up like Sei did with Yoru, but what is her relationship with Aya like now? They live next to each other and the confession/rejection scene seemed like it was meant to clean the slate so they could go back to being friends but we don't get to see that or the inevitable drifting apart that Haruki was so worried about.
Then there's Mochida who seemed to have a lesbian awakening in that one scene with Sei and is no longer interested in the teacher but we don't get to see how any of that worked out. I was fully expecting Haruki and Mochi to end up dating in the epilogue or something but instead we get nothing.
I enjoyed the series overall despite it not having the tidy happy ending were the good people are rewarded and the bad people are punished because good things happen to bad people all the time and story doesn't have to make you happy to be good, but this ending leaves me feeling unsatisfied.
