Just watched bits of Episode 10...

Really, that's how Sousuke goes out, by committing suicide? Dude just slits his wrist and that's that. If I didn't know any better it looked like he went out Jim Jones style, drinking cyanide-laced kool aid, at least from the look of the liquid. Could've tried harder with the fake blood there. Lame way to go out, although they give him a moment of sympathy when he realizes how happy Michiru was at the sharehouse, but even then I don't feel the guy that much simply because his character was never fleshed out. The suicide just comes off as abrupt.
It appears Ruka's family learns of her secret and is having a difficult time coming to terms with it. It looks like eventually with some help from Takeru the family comes around and accepts Ruka for who she really is. I'll have to wait for subs to really understand what went down.
Despite the sudden end to Sousuke, I do like the fact that the show goes back to Ruka's conflict and shows how her family deals with it. I was afraid that after Takeru confesses his feelings after reading her letter, we wouldn't get any more out of Ruka's gender indentity issues.

The dude killed himself by choking on a can of cherry 7-up... What creative writing.

What creative use of soda I'm not too pleased it turned out like that; really cheap in my opinion. I'm glad that we've had something of substance with Ruka and Takeru, but clearly the potential just wasn't fulfilled.

As some of you have written,what a dumb way for Sousuke to die indeed.Michiru finally musters the courage to give Sousuke a tight slap,Sousuke suddenly realising that he's been such a monster and then kills himself.Coincidence? or not? It seems to be the writers ran out of juice to progress the story between Michiru and Sousuke and to connect it to episode 1 on Michiru being pregnant and a death occurring.They simply ended it in the worst fashion possible.Like many of us have predicted,this drama might end up rushing things through at the end.It looks like it is happening. Disappointing. I'd be extremely generous to even give it a rating of 4.
hello I'm just new here and I love jdoramas alot. specially Last Friends .. I love how the story goes.

But gosh, I'm thinking what will gonna be happen in the end .. will Ruka die? Isn't it that there's someone who will die at the end? The hint was already in the 1st episode .. and according to my vibrations it's Ruka .. Sousuke tried to rape her isn't it? And due to so much worried about Michiru when she heard Ruka's feelings while confessing to Takeru, I'm thinking if she's gonna commit suicide or will Sousuke kill her? well I dunno either .. I bet Ruka's gonna die .. or if not, it's Sousuke ..

Somewhat ironically, it spoiled something for me.. I didn't care much though - but hopefully everyone else who cared didn't see anything they didn't want to _________________

DV and attempted rape??
Man, those fans are just obsessed. _________________
wells! it has been some time before i come in here! haha. dl-ed epi 10 and finish it fast as i tot it's the last epi. but no.. there's still 11! haha! wonder if there's a 12? but anywaes... about this show..
Click on button to reveal/hide spoiler:
it's until epi 8 i guess, where i suddenly qn myself.. "epi 8 already? and we are still here?" hais. sad to sae.. i finally have to agree with you all about the progression of the show. i guess they should touch more on tekure & eri too. somehow.. from the little flashbacks of tekure, we can guess wat happened but it's sooo little!! hais. and eri.. i feel that.. she may be DV-ed too? from the way she tok to sousuke? and the last part on michiru & sousuke in epi 10.. it helps to link it up to epi 1 but it's like a little give in. jus dun feel that it ends off epi 10 very well.. but sousuke's suicide gave mi a shock. the wedding gown that he was holding onto makes mi feel that.. he's jus too in love with michiru.. and uses the wrong way. after he raped her and michiru started crying, he cried too. he's hurt too yes? and his fist was acting.. haha. if u all noe wat im saying.
left with ep 11 onli.. i dun think they can touch onto too many things. well... good try!
