Did I just read it only to be disappointed in the end? I mean, I can easily accept Takako and Yui's ending, coz I know Yui will be beside her until forever, but with the trio? Mika and Mayu has a story plot to be perfect with. It's so annoying that only blurred by a love triangle, with a best friend plot.

You're not the only one. I think Mika should have ended up with Mayu. The bestie didn't deserve Mayu cause for me Saki was obsessed with her rather than love. It's more like Mika "sacrifice" a chance for romance for the sake of the bestie... or that's how I felt since everyone has their own opinion.

I really need to start reading the forum before starting a story. This was a total waste of my time. The ending was frankly bizarre. The story spent so much time on Mika and Mayu, who had great chemistry and who really made one and other better. Just to turn it around at the end and make Mayu end up with her, frankly, obsessive, and wet blanket of a friend, Saki. Nothing in the story sold me on their romance at all. Probably the only the story I have read where most of the story was spent on a couple just for them to not end up together.

I'm not sure if the implication in Looking to Tomorrow is that Mayu and Saki got together, but I'd like to think it's just regular embarrassment, because I think the ending to the main story is great. Mika and Mayu ending up together would've been a perfectly fine conventional ending, Saki and Mayu ending up together would've been fine if a bit surprising (how often does the third wheel end up winning?), but I never would've expected an ending where they all stay as friends. I was disappointed for a minute, but after thinking it over for a bit, I decided I really liked it. This ending isn't even bittersweet, all the main characters end up happy. They all grow as people, they grow as friends, and they grow to understand their sexuality better.

The side story is a bit wacky, and I probably wouldn't have it enjoyed it that much if it was presented on its own, but it gives a nice contrast to the (by comparison) more cerebral main story. I really don't like Yui, but I understand where she's coming from, y'know? I assume she's the straight* (possibly) character mentioned in the first volume's author's note.
