By Chance, We... and...

To be honest, not really. If she's that volatile and he's that mopey, she's better off with someone else. I thought this was a series about making a small mistake and trying to make it right, not a series about two grown up children not being able to make it right with each other directly. It's a thing and people are in their right to like it, but it really got ridiculous when both sides of the story found excuses to start menacing the other.

 

well the second season (from 24 onwards) was all about the drama, they really didn't grow in the end, she was suuuuper insecure, he was mopey af. Also ...

the other guy is like the prince in the story, in the end he really were there to move the plot and even if he say to her that she needed to talk to him, he ended helping more to accelerate the broke up. 

 

Yeah basically she has screwed with 2 guys hearts and seems to have absolutely no remorse over her behavior.  Her "lets breakup" speech contained no hint of apology for her behavior, she blocks him so not allowing him to discuss and at least sort out his feelings over the breakup, and then when she buggers off she just leaves notes on his back.

 

She really is bad news. I almost feel pity for the library guy as he's still stuck in her trap.

yep, he ended toying with him for 6 years!! that really shocked me, talking about low self steem (the other guy this time)

 

Yup. I'm going to be brutally honest with what I feel about this. This manhwa is horseshit. All the time and investment reading this was completely flushed down the bloody toilet.

 

It wasn't even a good ending! Their relationship had misunderstandings that should have been easily resolved with properly talking it out. It felt like it was full of drama for the sake of drama. They just couldn't see each other and they already start falling apart with the continuous pile of misunderstandings and bullshit assumptions. Fuck. This.

 

Spoiler

Although, good thing she didn't end up with the other guy in the end because that would have left a really bad taste in my mouth. That would have been a-fucking-disgusting toilet-water-in-my-mouth of an ending. I'm actually glad no one ended up with anybody (except for the married couple).

 

I hate library dude, protagonist, and especially blondie. Fuck all three of them!

after so many years, I can finally close this manwha. Loved the song I found that time https://soundcloud.com/demta/ost4  years ago and loved the song the author mention in the aftwerwords   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tz_DvmOc2ic  

but at least for me the last part of the series sucked, the ending wasn't that bad, at least he could move on, but still it doesn't leave a good taste, I will always remember the first part in a good note at least.

 

and yep the second part was full of drama for the sake of it, although for some moments it was interesting, the problems of him having less and less time, always pushing himself until failing his work and taking for granted his relationship, he really needed to talk and got possesive instead, and ...

What retarded conflict is that shit in the beginning of this?

I really hope this doesn't go on and become shittier, but I have low expectations right now.

It's a thing and people are in their right to like it, but it really got ridiculous when both sides of the story found excuses to start menacing the other.

To me it was a story of a snowball effect of mistakes and deciding to move on. Which means growth for the mopey guy,

However, that said, leaving the way he did, left it in her hands. Saying "I remembered, you where this important to me", so I was hoping instead she would seek HIM out.

Being personal growth for her realizing that he had never forgotten her after all this time. Well, at least I can play that bit out in my mind. So the end is sort of open in that regards.

Wasnt a bad ending.  Just, bitter sweet.  We always want them to get back together don't we?

After looking at the last chapter it's a fuking bad ending, i'm disapointed of this manwha

The last chapter tho was a bs chapter.  comments from the author... really... just include them with the final... :/

I fail to see where there is abuse in this story. What happens to Tomboy in this story IS HER FAULT. She refuses to communicate her insecurities with her boyfriend as he becomes more busy with his job and instead uses a guy who has a crush on her as emotional support. When confronted with this emotional cheating she dumps her boyfriend. End of story.

 

Let's look at the supposed incident that was the "final straw".  She prepared a song for her boyfriend for his birthday as a treat. He got sucked into an event at work. She cries on the shoulder of library guy.  Question number one, who was the song for?  The boyfriend.  Who's birthday was it? The boyfriend. Yet she was so self absorbed that she saw it as "I" didn't get to give my gift. Instead it should have been "my boyfriend didn't get to get HIS gift on HIS birthday".  If all this had occurred on her birthday i could have had some sympathy for her.

 

I really wanted to like this Manhwa. I have no problems with a story about a relationship ending. I loved "5cm per second" and I guess I was hoping for something similar.  Instead we got a breakup over a ridiculous reason and the MC blaming himself for something that was not his fault.

 

There is always someone who wants to blame the victim. Hint: That is what you are doing and its a real nasty thing to do.

 

Insecure? Having a hard time talking about it? That is real ppl for you . Especially when they are young. People like just need the right person to break the wall down. Its called being a good match.

 

@ Scruffy: You know when someone gets beaten up, taken advantage of, or victimized, there is always someone like you, saying its their own fault. I find that disturbing.

 

@ Bladestone: There is a deeper meaning and its a lot more than you seem to think. I think you have completely mis-read the relationships between the three.

i'm gonna borrow a quote from 500 days of summer. this is not a love story, it's a story about love. 

Its odd that people think the ending is bad. Its not a bad ending at all. It was most certainly a good ending. I thought this manga was really heartwarming and endearing. If you like dating sim's and romance mangas that are pretty much like a dating sim, then this certainly isn't for you. If you like a good, thought-provoking story, then this story is worth reading IMO.

 

If you are going to read this do end (I recommend that you do) DONT READ the spoiler. If you are quitting because of the "bad ending" here is an alternative thought:

Tomboy on the other hand continues to see and rely on a guy that has a crush on her and she knows it. She even continues to hang around him after her best friend expresses interest in him and then cries to her about him confessing his love. If that wasn't enough she even uses her being with this guy as a reason to break up... "well you weren't there." That is "well I have NEEDS" level of cheating, just not a physical one. The sad thing is, she basically uses this guy too and he is completely "friendzoned". Yet she is still held up as this prize to the conclusion. She was cute in the beginning, but why again does anyone in the story like her at the end?

Yeah basically she has screwed with 2 guys hearts and seems to have absolutely no remorse over her behavior.  Her "lets breakup" speech contained no hint of apology for her behavior, she blocks him so not allowing him to discuss and at least sort out his feelings over the breakup, and then when she buggers off she just leaves notes on his back.

 

She really is bad news. I almost feel pity for the library guy as he's still stuck in her trap.

I know there is supposed to be some deeper meaning here about both people communicating and also the moving on part for the MC, but it falls a bit short IMO. Too much focus on them getting together if the moral of the story is about (the lack of) moving on. Their breakup was too lame and too quick to really carry that premise.

 

Also, the MC gets a bit too much blame in this in the story. Sure ignoring your GF is bad and being jealous/possessive is bad but honestly Tomboy was pretty bad here. If you compare the two "interlopers" and jealousy aspect Tomboy was way worse. Our MC for one tried his best to avoid his old crush when she was trying to get his attention. Only when she gets drunk and needs to help her does he reluctantly go to her knowing it would look bad. She is then quickly out of the picture.

Meh, should have just stuck to being a cute story rather than tying to be all deep and failing.

Yup. I'm going to be brutally honest with what I feel about this. This manhwa is horseshit. All the time and investment reading this was completely flushed down the bloody toilet.

Yeah it was pretty bad.  To be honest MC was better off without blondie.  I mean he starts a demanding job and can't spend as much time with her so

What I find most annoying is that the moral of the story is supposedly "keep paying attention to your clingy insecure girlfriend while you are trying your hardest at working a new job".  No ... the moral should be dump such a gf ASAP and get on with your life!!

Seriously, why did someone let a 6th grader into college? They're all idiots but former blondie has some middle school relationship level communication skills.

SERIOUSLY! There is ZERO communication between them! And it's pissing me the fuck off!

Where the hell is this guy when ya need him!

For a reason what no one knows they break and cant come back into a relationship, for the 6 years later, the mc is caught for the relationship with the blonde girl and cant be in his own way, so in the last ch, u can see The MC in the beginning calls out the blond hair girls name, and then we have the blond hair girl introducing herself and her band. She apologizes to everyone for the long wait, and then tells everyone that the song she's about to sing for them is a song that's came a long way. A song that has a huge history to her, and that it's called "우리는 우연히 구리고." (It's also the manwha title as well.) The english translation is basically, "we, by chance, and also." She begin's singing, and the blue text are the lyrics of the song that she's singing. Basically the song is saying, "on a day like this, when we were young, we he had a very young and beautiful love. We were very happy, but without truly understand one another, we misunderstood a lot. We by chance, we by chance, we by chance, and also." From there, the other guy, who was that guy who also liked the blond hair girl in college, he's saying to the MC, "she's a good singer isn't she?" The MC says, "that's right." The MC thinks to himself, "finally, i get to hear her sing this while playing the guitar. I understand now."The MC tells that other guy, "i'm leaving this to you. Please do me this favor. Give it to her in my stead." he other guy is saying, "why don't you give it to her?" And the MC says, "it's okay. I feel that maybe i've been in her heart for too long now. After coming here, i think i finally understand. With this, i can finally move on. Well then, i'll leave it to you." (that part where he says, "i feel that maybe i've been in her heart for too long now," could also mean "maybe i've been stuck in the past for too long." The MC then leaves, and the girl tells the other guy, "did you wait long?" She then tells him that she was really nervous because there was a lot of people today, and she feels like she messed up badly. The other guy tells her that she did well today too

She then says, "aren't you the only one who thinks it sounded good, since your my 1st fan after all?"
The guy then says, "here, this is for you. another fan of yours told me to give it to you." She then says, "wow, for me? Does this mean i have my 2nd fan now?" She then says, "i wish i saw his face before he left though."She see's the inside of the box, and see's the scarf she gave to the MC all those years ago, and the picture too. : She then asks, "does it look good on me?" The after text is saying

we suffered a lot we suffered a lot And as i continued to live, by chance whenever i thought of you, i lived my life in a way that i wouldn't regret, nor in a way you would feel ashamed of. And by chance when i really saw you, i really thought about you : I wanted to grab a hold of you and reminisce about the past. I always wanted to you ask you one thing. "Have you been well?"

 

TLDR - FMC disappears because of some misunderstanding. MC thinks about her and looks for her for about 6 years.Library guy becomes just a friend. MC and Library guy both lose lol. I think the FMC might have some mental problems.

Wow good thing I put off reading all the angst filled chapters I knew were coming.

 

jeezus that ending is full of empty air... I don't really like it when stories use time skip as a way to say "x years later, the heroine is now a mature young lady" and then they revel in how bittersweet it all is. I'm pretty sure this is a pretty successful formula for a bunch of movies and stories but they only work when the source of conflict isn't just some teenage level misunderstandings...I haven't actually read any new chapters but your post just cemented my decision.

Spoiler below on how it ends. lol.

I know it's a bad ending, but I have read this thing since I found it 4 years ago and I want some closure (I know this manwha already ended)

 

Yeah me too please.  I tried looking it up but I can't access either site the spoilers could be on.  I even tried turning off my adblock to no avail.

Yeah I wasn't sure if I wanted to read this, and then I saw a spoiler for the ending... guess I can save myself the time and depression and not read it.
