    That was hard to watch. I went through a similar situation. There was a girl I was friends with, who I liked for years. She always avoided a romantic relationship with me, so I found someone else, but then later on, that girl started to lead me on and constantly made advances, so I broke up with the current girlfriend to be with her…
    Only difference is, the girl I liked starting dating some asshole right after I broke up…so there I was, single, made a fool out of, broke a good girl’s heart over some bitch.

    the girls comment that i’ve been seeing upon this anime ending and i think rather than judging he is an asshole its more like the truth. like when u like a guy and u date him if he has someone he already loved then you will have no chance, dont watch too much anime girls 🙂
