Huh. That was actually sort of disappointing. With all of the build-up, I guess I just expected something more.
Ah well - it was still a good run.
I feel like it could have done with one more chapter. I don't care who he ends up with (much), but his choice had no impact. Everyone found out they'd need to share the guy they like with 5 other girls, and they were more interested in the cake. One chapter to show what this relationship would be like, even a little, would be a godsend.
and they were more interested in the cake

Yeah, it almost feels like it is the start of a new series in which there is an explicit harem situation and they are all competing for Daisuke. I am not that invested in who he ends up with as I didn't feel like he really connected with any of the girls more than another, but this ending just feels a bit too open ended (and they almost left sensei out!).
And just like that, it is all over. I can't say that I am thrilled with how it ended. However, in a weird way, I am not too upset about it either. It would almost feel weirder if there was a winner of some sort. Through all these chapters, I never really got the feeling that Daisuke ever favored any one girl over another, so this doesn't really feel that off to me. I would have liked some more closure to the story rather than an implied continuation of harem hijinx, but so be it.
I will certainly be sure to try and keep track of what the author does next. They have two series to their name so far and both of them have been excellent, silly, SOL that fit perfectly with my sense of humor. I will really miss this series as it was always a nice and digestible chuckle I could count on each week.
Yeah - it's fine - good actually - that he didn't pick anyone. And it does make sense in context - as you say, Daisuke never even implied that he liked any one of them more or less than any other.
And I agree - I think what disappointed me is that even with that really impressive idea of a gigantic white day cake for them all to share, there was no real closure. There were still too many mixed messages and Daisuke still being sort of wishy-washy and imprecise. I guess he did manage to get out the broad concept but he stumbled around it too much for it to be really satisfying - to really feel like a fitting end.
Maybe we'll get something to really wrap it all up in an omake when the volume comes out.
When would more authors realise that people like seeing the protagonists of romcom / romance stories in a relationship, instead of just what comes before?
Welp, time to go back to 100gf I guess.
I like Daisuke as a protagonist, but let's be real. There is only one Rentarou and Daisuke can only dream of reaching those heights.
