GE: Good Ending

Second-year high school student Seiji Utsumi is hopelessly in love with Shou Iketani, the energetic and scatter-brained tennis club captain in the year above him, but he cannot bring himself to even talk with her. Unable to make any progress, he is perfectly content with just watching from afar—perhaps a bit too literally.

While spying on the tennis club's morning practice on the first day of a new semester, Seiji is spotted and accused of peeping by Yuki Kurokawa, a club member who ends up in his class. However, when she sees that Seiji has no bad intentions and is serious about Shou, Yuki decides to help him confess his feelings.

As Seiji gets closer to Shou with Yuki's guidance, he realizes that his simplistic view of love and relationships prevents him from seeing the complexity and darkness under the surface—for both Shou and Yuki. Can he navigate through all the heartbreak and misunderstandings to reach his good ending?

Ge-Good ending is an outstanding manga !

I have to say it's one of the best love mangas i have ever read and i have read many of them .One of the best parts about this manga is the story .Nowadays romance manga repeat everything we already know but to me Ge is like a fresh breeze of romance so passionate that i wish i was in the main characters role in real life .

I highly recommend you read this manga if you're into romance manga like me but warning if you like drama and romance get ready for some tears.

I GIVE IT A 9/10

Mixed Feelings

I'm really sorry for my english in advance I hope it won't be too much trouble to read.

I have some mixed feelings about this manga. While I really liked the art and the faces drawn by the author, while I found the plot interesting, I'm just fed up with the drama in this.

I mean it is too much... everytime for every little things it's just frustrating. In my opinion, drama is a genre that require a good balance, a balance with drama and happy times. The main problem with GE was the fact that you have just a new forced drama every 3 chapters that ... ruin the entire story. Basically GE had a big part of drama which was just... forced, you know those drama where, as a reader, you are just frustrated by how the characters are stupid and create drama because of their own stupidity and because of their lack of communication skills that leads to misunderstandings...

To conclude : the art is great in my opinion, story seemed interesting but everything has been leveled down by frustrating cliffhangers at the end of chapters and by the over representation of non necessary drama. I do not recomend if you seek for some realist relationship and if you like coherent well-paced drama. In those kind of stories, drama permit to add depth into characters to make them more likable not to ruin them and to make us hate them for their lack of logic. At some point, you could clearly see that the author was making the characters take some bad decisions only to create bad drama...

Let's talk about the characters ( BIG spoilers to read only if you are masochist or if you have finished GE) :

Seiji (MC) is probably the only character who has grown up since the chapter 1. During the whole plot he was a coward and a cuck, yes a cuck the best instance is when he tried to defend the boyfriend of Shô when this one had SEEN her boyfriend talking to his ex and saying to her "i want to get back with you" or something else. MC just said the biggest speech of his life to defend the boyfriend whose, i remind, cucked the MC at the beginning of the story. At least he was quite more brave throughout the story. Oh and i have forgotten. If Seiji has been dumped, it's only because of him because this idiot has made the relation tense by delaying the problem with yuki's ex AND because he was stubborn and he decided to live a relationship without any sexe. I mean he could have lived his relationship at his own pace like every normal man but he decided to be stupid and yuki has noticed he was forcing himself...

Yuki (main Girl) : at the start of the story, she was interesting and i really liked her. She was smart and she helped MC to grow up + she was mysterious with her past. Then there was this part where MC was conscious of liking her, he showed her that he liked her ( i mean you have to be blind to not see that...) and this idiot yuki did what ? She thought that MC was talking about an other girl..

It was just frustrating Yuki was smart at the begin and good to read emotions so WHY i just dont understand. Anyway the worst part about her is when she broke up with MC. Her reason ? "I give you too much trouble" just what the fuck ? You think leave him alone will make his problems vanish ?? If you want a relationship without taking your responsabilities then you buy a robot or a pillow with a waifu printed on it..

Then she was denying that she had still feeling for MC when MC asked her BUT she decided to confess that she still has feelings for him when the MC goes out with Shô. It's a joke ? What is she trying to do ? I could at least understand if MC didnt give her any chances but he just gave her a bunch of chances after they broke up and she litteraly rejected everything coldly but now that he's dating with an another woman she confesses. It was a joke, i have never seen a character that bad, Yuki in my opinion has regressed since the beginning of the story. She went from a very good character to an illogical character who only acts to force the drama into the story...

Shô : Well... She is the same from the first chapter to the last. She has cucked MC with her senpai who only used her because this one was sad after a breakup then (logic) it didn't finish well. Then she dated with MC anddd. Yes once again she dated with a guy that has just been dumped by his initial girlfriend and (drum roll) she, once again, has been dumped by the MC because this one was still loving yuki. At the end of the story she started dating again with this moron of senpai who cheated on her. The author tried to say to us that it was a good end for her but i'm not stupid I know how relationship works... She would have been better single at the end.

Risa : well she's a pity. It was sad to see her forcing with MC. Risa is the cliche of the beautiful girl who instantly fall in love with stupid and virgin MC because this one has been nice and kind for a stupid reason once in the story after their meeting. She is sad to see, she only serves to cause misunderstanding ( drama are you there ?) but at least she has been once in the story smart by talking to yuki to "defend" MC.

Not Recommended

This is a review from someone who currently following Domestic Girlfriend (DG), it may also contained MINOR SPOILERS and COMPARISONS with DG

Story and Enjoyment (5/10)
Let's begin with the story. GE is a predecessor of DG which written by the same author, so if you currently reading DG you will definitely have the same feeling as you start reading GE. The story is a rollercoaster of feeling, same as DG, neither what i can say enjoyable nor hateful. In GE it feels really short and a bit rushed, so i'm not really satisfied with the ending. It also feels unrealistic and very predictable compared to DG. ...
