I dont know how to feel about this.
The first 3 quarters were some of the best teen relationship dramedy I've seen in a long time. I really liked how every girl had to face their own unique problems and the way the author balanced these plot-lines. Kazusa trying to sort out her feelings for her childhood friend, Sonezaki rethinking her views of sex and romance, Momo realizing her orientation and agonizing over how it would affect her friendship with the others, Hongou tying her self-worth as both an author and a woman to the approval of the teacher, and Sugawara's... everything (good lord this girl is a mess that I cant help but feel bad for despite the terrible and frustrating decisions she makes).
So the way it plays out towards the end kind of leaves me feeling underwhelmed. I can appreciate how every plot-line was brought together and resolved (for the most part) all in 1 go, but the idea that this was what the author was building up to all along disappoints me. I'll admit I failed to grasp the meaning behind the final scene or the significance of the game of tag, but regardless of how well it fits with themes of the story, I felt the last few episodes took the story in a weird absurd direction that runs counter to the series' exaggerated but believable drama. Besides those complaints, it also feels like Sugawara and Momo didnt really get satisfying resolutions to their personal conflicts.
