I was very disappointed that the anime made it seem like she settled for some faceless guy in the end, rather than her figuring out who the right person was for her. I started out not liking the anime for about 6 episodes and it was starting to grow on me until the very last scene, where I felt let down. Agree!

One thing I liked about the manga was that it pretty much rejected the typical high-school shoujo romance tropes and took a more realistic, more human approach to the whole thing. The anime, on the other hand, took this and paradoxically tried to turn it into a typical high-school romance. Drastically reducing Hiro's role was bad enough (especially seeing his relationship with Yukari in the manga... plus he's my favorite character), but by trying to make George more sympathetic and changing the end the anime pretty much eliminated the moral of the story and replaced it with a typical "your first love is the only person you'll ever be able to be happy with."
