Hotaru no Hikari [ホタルノヒカリ] wanted it to be different but... [Rating: 8/10] if the final didn't end like that it could get way from being dull. a man and a woman begin to live together and it is unavoidable for them to fall in love with each other. so from the beginning the goal of the serie was it. But here although at the end they said they loved each other I couldn't see it - at least from Hotaru's side. Teshima liked her as herself and always said this but she couldn't see it clearly and always tried to be the 'admirable girl' so when she wasn't herself when she was with Teshima and the guy was disappointed. I am not convinced Teshima and Hotaru are over each other and Hotaru loved her manager. She was alone for a long time and not having any reason to make him like her she had no problem being herself around him. It would be better if Teshima and Hotaru ended together at the end. I think it would also be refreshing for this kind of plots.
