A satisfying conclusion to the series. I enjoyed the tension that build up between characters and how the drama brought them together in the end. Just hit the right spot for me!

albeit a mess, i love when people sort their shit out (even when all could've been resolved with one (1) conversation).

4.0

An improvement over the first volume, the second (and final) half of Anti-Romance explores the aftermath of what happens when romantic feelings are revealed (too late for one, too soon for another). I found the fallout to be realistic in how the narrative explored both men coping with their unresolved situation. The scene where they were forced to confront their feelings for each other once more was perhaps the best in the whole manga.
