Yeah, same here. Both the anime and the manga started out very well and I loved little devil Miharu... and then somehow, I'm still not sure how, it turned into a YoitexMiharu love story and everything became subordinated to this glorified hurt/comfort fantasy. (I suppose this is what happens when an author falls in love with a character/pairing...)

I finished the anime by skipping the annoying bits and I'm going to finish the manga to see what happens to the characters I like, but it's so sad that it turned out this way. I was so happy to see Yoite finally kick the bucket, only to have Miharu continue to angst by himself. Wargh.
