Strawberry on the Shortcake Episode 10

unexpected ending

Never thought in the beginning of the show, and even in the beginning of this last episode, that things could end like this (even if it's what I was hoping for). I've spent the whole episode thinking the end will be sad, and changing my mind, and changing again and again.
Manato annoyed me since four episodes I think, but finally i'm happy he has changed. Like the ending very much.
I want to believe that Saeki and Haruka are together, cause that's what I was hoping for since a couple of episodes, (since she told him about her night with Manato maybe). They suit each other.
This episode was like the whole drama, with so many bittersweet moments and a lot of weird and sometimes so unrealistic situations (well, in fact with situations you can only see in movies), but maybe it was what makes it a very enjoyable one.
I first thought that ABBA was a strange musical choice, so far apart (in my mind, at least) from Japan, and modern school stories. But it appears to be a very suitable choice, cause their songs convey the same feelings that the drama. Hopes, fun, and in the background, some nostalgic feelings that can be linked with good memories.
underrated drama, hope more people will enjoy it!
