***MINOR SPOILERS AHEAD***
(meh, it's shoujo, if you've read one, you've read them all so whatever)

This manga reminded me of my high school and college days. Actually, no, it didn't. Because if it did, I'd have killed myself long ago.

TL;DR - good/bad/the ugly

Good:
- Art is nice too look at, making it relatively easy read on the eyes
- It's not the worst thing ever
- 1 relatively good character

Bad:
- Drama (oh the "drama")
- Full of generic cliches (dense MC? check! arbitrary love rivals? check! supportive, cheerful friend? check! takes about 3881123 years for feelings to be realized? check! generic girl somehow makes 2 hot guys lose their heads over her? check! and so on ...)
- Aside from its premise it offers literally no unique concept
- Gets repetitive too fast (misunderstanding - one of the characters is really upset about it - resolved through some random BS that doesn't make any sense)

The ugly:
- Story (6 chapters worth of content stretched to 49+)
- Main duo (I hope they die young and unhappy)
- Absolute chore to read after 10th chapter

(as to why I read all 49 chapters, it's because I had 2 hours to kill, and skipping pages is easy enough)

Last Game is someone's version of "cute" and "innocent" romance. In reality, it's wishful bullshit made for lonely shitfaced crazies who have no clue what "dating" is. If you can truck through 49 chapters like me, and still have it in your heart to rate this thing 10, there must be something wrong with you. Seeing as, literally, all 4 reviews on the front page rated this 10, I absolutely had to write a review even though I had no intention of doing so, for it would have reminded me of what a shitty read it was. Nonetheless, here we are, so let's do it.

I don't consider this thing to have a story. Rather, imagine a piece of gum - and then imagine stretching it from America, all the way through Europe, to China. That's what the story of this thing is. If any remotely normal people were involved in the story, all 49 chapters would have been done in about 6. So, imagine a 6 chapter story being stretched to 40+. Do you know what that entails? It entails plenty unnecessary bullshit, overabundance of mentally fucked "drama", and truckload of 3 things being repeated over and over and over and over and over and over again. What are those 3 things you wonder?

1. MC - Why doesn't Kanjou see me as a man?
2. MC - Why is she so comfortable with that other dude?
3. Girl MC - Why are guys around me angry?

All 49 chapters are overloaded with such bullshit that, if it turned into actual bull shit, it'd have filled the whole Pacific Ocean. Twice. You can stretch a story to a certain degree, hell, you can even make it work, but this doesn't. It's obvious to anyone with a speck of brain that all 49 chapters could have been condensed into 6. How? Here's how:

1st chapter: Same as now
2nd chapter: Same as now
3rd chapter: He actually tells her how he feels instead of going roundabout route like a pussy
4th chapter: she rejects him, but quickly realizes that her life isn't the same without him
5th chapter: after some though, she realizes she also loves him
6th chapter: they're together

Label me normal, but I don't do well with characters that are as human as is my dog. No love story would ever play out this way. And, no, I don't consider this good escapism - mainly because it's annoying, boring and flat out insulting. Story of this thing is godawful and it really showcases just how gullible people are if they can buy this as a "genuine and pure love story". This isn't a love story. This bears no resemblance to love story. It's just overburdened crap without any redeeming features.

The only good point of this manga is the art. It's crisp, clean, comedy-drawn panels work and there are some nice shots here and there. There's a bunch of cute girls, bishounens, so if you're looking for that you won't go wrong. Definitely above average.

What isn't above average, though, are the characters. Ya-whatever dude has got to be the biggest pussy-wanker in manga ever. This guy doesn't deserve a woman in his life. He should be left alone and forgotten like a piece of trash he is. If you love someone for 10 years and do little to nothing about it, just kill yourself. It goes to show just how weak people are if they consider his character "nice", "pure" and "lovely". But it's no wonder, I guess, because THIS is the guy that gets "friendzoned" 100% of the time in real life, hence why people can relate to him. He's the representation of everything that's wrong with "nice" guys who "always" get "friendzoned". If you don't want to be "friendzoned", do literally opposite of what he's doing. Good job. Now you have a girlfriend.

Our other MC, Ka-whatever chick is the type of a girl no one sane would ever like. She's that girl in high school you'd just stay away from because keeping the conversation up with her felt like climbing a mountain, bare-handed. Not only is she dense (I mean, describing her as dense is an insult to actually dense people), but she's just not ... interesting. For 49 chapters, not once did I think "oh, I finally get it why the dudes love her". No, not a single fucking time. I was never able to get why are all these good looking guys falling in love with her. She never does a single thing that warrants it. Literally the reason is "she doesn't judge people by the way they look or what their parents have done". There you go, her characterization is now complete. She wouldn't even work as a side character, let alone the main interest. Nothing about her is interesting. She's just an insane bore.

Rest of the cast is whatever. MC girl's best friend is kind of interesting and probably the highlight of the entire damn thing. There are a few other fun characters, but most of them are just background fodder. Oh, there are also two arbitrary rivals that appear, for which (no, I won't even refer to them as human beings, because they are not) you couldn't flip a single fuck. I used to be fat, but now I'm thin - that's my character development. I used to be judgmental but now I'm not - that's my character development.

If you're a lover of stupid, generic, long overdue for ending, stretched to hell and back shoujo bullshit, you'll consider this manga to be your God. On the other hand, if you appreciate normal story without random BS being thrown in every goddamn chapter, making the whole thing make less and less sense while amplifying annoyance levels by nine thousand, you'll do well to stay away from this.
