What a perfect end to a truly epic series!

[inés · Rating 4 out of 5]

leyendo manga otra vez (we're sooo back)
que me haya metido entre pecho y espalda 19 tomos en 2 dias creo que dice ya mucho...
los plot twists eran bastante predecibles pero la tensión estaba tan bien hecha que me dio completamente igual, mi mayor queja es que se hizo un poco largo al final me sobraba el medio triángulo amoroso que aparece a partir del tomo 8 pero, sobre todo, me pareció innecesaria la trama con la abuela de tsubaki. Sin los últimos tres-cuatro tomos a lo mejor aun se hubiera llevado 5 estrellas.

While these last three volumes were enjoyable, vol. 16 was a much better ending and I wish this could have been incorporated beforehand.

Awww that ending was really sweet!

Overall rating for the series: 3.5 ⭐️

[Miss Ryoko · Rating 3 out of 5]

I really enjoyed this series a lot. The story premise sounded interesting but I wasn't expecting to get sucked in so much. I really enjoyed the characters and Ando-sensei's artwork is beautiful.

They went from friends to enemies to strangers to being engaged (he proposed) to enemies to lovers to strangers to rivals to pretending to be strangers to reluctant allies, to rivals to lovers to rivals to boss and employee to accauntainces to being engaged (she proposed) to spouses to detectives to rivals (for a second) to parents.
I loved all the drama in this series. The last afterword was so cute. The author comments throughout were really funny.

Favorite quotes:

He: Could you refrain from abusing my wife?

He: you really are horrible. she: and you arent?

He : starting today i live in your care Nao-san

He: What did you do to our precious master

He: Honestly being with you is tiring but i guess ill have to help you out.

He: I'M THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN DEAL WITH YOUR CRAZINESS, AFTER ALL. WELL, I DO EXPECT SOME EXTRA PAY, THOUGH INCLUDING FOR HOW MUCH YOU WORRIED ME.

everyone scheming 24/7

LET'S FIND A BUNCH MORE THINGS WHERE TWO MAKE A WHOLE TOGETHER.

He: MY JOB IS TO LET HER DO WHAT'S BEST FOR HER.

He: I'D PREFER TO HAVE YOU MORE THAN SAKE

Nao doesn't discover why they are truly facing off at the tea ceremony festival with their wagashi until Ayako is throwing a fit at her daughter's ceremony and Nao goes into labor. Fortunately, it seems the old butler wasn't as obedient as Ayako thought and Kyoko was on a mission to find the truth about her inheritance, which conveniently also worked in Tsubaki and Nao's favor when it comes to the Kogetsuan land. It's a really good thing that they've been wanting to be on good terms with Kyoko ever since the truth came out earlier in the series as well given how instrumental she ends up in all of the action here. Despite all of the drama though, they really do all seem like a very happy family.

Somehow I accidentally skipped vol 18 (eep!), which explains why I was lost in the beginning. I was really hoping to be done with the mother, but then comes the mother's step-mother?! (Technically I suppose she appeared in 18, but I haven't read that yet so this is my introduction to her.) Wow does that explain so much about Kyoko. I hated that woman so much throughout the series, but given how much people can change in real life, I thought the finale with her was plausible. Nice too see smiles on faces at long last! And the baby! I'm so happy the author chose this route. A satisfying ending overall.

4☆

I'm a bit disappointed because I kinda expected for the story to focus more on their own family and have lovey dovey time together. ahahaha. I mean, they were having a baby. However, up until the end, it was still about conflict. 😮‍💨 I only got a few pages of bliss. 😛

It was still a great series.❤️

You know...after the wedding I was wondering why the series was continuing on...the volume right after that was kind of like...ok...what is the point of this. But honestly...this volume was just perfection and a great way to end the series. It's definitely one of my favorite manga series and I'm so glad it came to such a great end.

[Khurshid Ali · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is the final volume and the ending was perfect. What started off as a marriage with hidden secrets ended up being the perfect marriage.

We see the proprietress change, her mother get what she deserves

And

See Nao and Tsubaki become parents.

Love can conquer
A love of Wagashi can bring families together and this is where their happy ever after story concludes

[Rlee · Rating 3 out of 5]

Cute conclusion to the three extra volumes in the series. Everything is wrapped up nicely with some redemption thrown in for good measure. Not necessary to read for the series but it was enjoyable to read. I would give the original main 1-16 volumes 4.5-5 stars.

Nao looking at her baby… So many happy tears!!!!

This was the perfect ending to a series that had me at the edge of my seat after every volume!!!!!!

[Blair · Rating 3 out of 5]

This series was soooo dramatic all the way up to the last page. Was it a good series meh. Would I recommend it to people no.

[Paulette · Rating 5 out of 5]

It’s over, and it’s a bittersweet feeling, but the mangaka gave a lot of tender care to this series, and I’m glad to see the conclusion to Nao and Tsubaki’s story.

[Global Village · Rating 5 out of 5]

[Paola · Rating 5 out of 5]

[Tib · Rating 4 out of 5]

FINALLY! A happy ending for these two!

[Jess | jadecanread · Rating 3 out of 5]

I really adore the series overall but this epilogue arc with the grandma was not my fave. Ending was cute though. We love a redemption.

[Hana · Rating 3 out of 5]

Finalmente ho finito questa serie!
Una soap opera che più soap opera non si può!

[hea booktubes · Rating 4 out of 5]

I liked the final resolution.

[Izzy · Rating 4 out of 5]

This entire series was fantastic.

The three bonus stories wrapped it up perfectly. I don't know the last series I read to finish and was left feeling such joy after so much turmoil.

[thriftynymph · Rating 3 out of 5]

(Is adding manga volumes to my goodreads cheating? I know myself it’s not but it somehow feels like it.

Decided to rate only the last volume of the manga just so that it’s not confusing and is already a summary of how I feel overall of the series.)
