i have notice the manga section does not have much dicussion. so i will create 1. haha so 1st off, what do you guys think of ichigo 100% for those of you who have read it. i personally think it is a great manga but i feel that the ending is too rush. and some of the chracter really does not show much development. and i do feel that the author wanted manaka to to end up with tojo aya, but due to the fan poll it end up with tuskasa. i feel that it is quite a waste. although it is good to get fan opinion but with the story development so far it just seems weird. what do you guys think??

I share the same sentiments that you have for the conclusion for this series, planswalker. Though it was a good long series for me, it took me a long while (and still trying) to accept how things have ended up as the mangaka intended and not the usual conclusions that I have so far could anticipate in most of the shounen mangas that I have read.
Though the mangaka shared her thoughts on why she decided to conclude it in an unexpected way, I still find it difficult since I wasn't in favor on the girl that Manaka chose.
My own biase about the matter though could also be explained on how I've grown accustomed on other shounen mangas that have pairings that were predictable and even though that those pairings were expected, I still kept on reading them due to the interest on how they would end up together.
With Ichigo 100%, it totally caught me off guard and got me hit severely. I was like stacking my anticipation for the ending that I was expecting yet, it all fell down on me when the very last piece didn't stack properly. Wishing that Manaka and Aya didn't have that romantic misunderstanding, that Manaka wasn't so indecisive on such matters while Aya didn't hesitate and kept all her feelings when it wasn't yet too late. Even though that I have also felt this way for other characters in other mangas with similar genres, the ending just took me by surprise since the other mangas would be concluded with the expected pairings yet, this one simply didn't.
