Oh, so you're a Haruka supporter...

No, the story really couldn't have continued further IMO.  It needs an end, and if it kept going on and on, would rather be over-stretched, boring/repetitive, unrealistic and lame (like Elfen Lied).

People do get left behind in those situations.  May be unfair, but that's life.
Which brings us to one of KgNE's debates - what would be considered ethical in that situation?  To me, the ending is fairly optimistic.
By the way, that's another point debated in the show - bias.  Each character has their own, usually over-simplified, view of the situation.  Even the girl that works in the shop had a warped, but interesting, view on the situation.  What's most amazing is how they managed to also capture the viewer's viewpoint.  For example, the switch of events between two of the episodes (I will not mention which) shows how powerful selection of information can truly be.
If you haven't realised yet, the above mirrors the media - many people will have different viewpoints on an issue.  But the journalists always have their bias on things, despite how objective they try to be, and will usually select and organize information which shows their viewpoint.  I used to know that journalists have control over how people see things, but I also believed that they could only really give "suggestions" and rather have little control over what people think.  However, the examples shown in this show surprised me at how powerful omitting information can be.  The story is biased towards one end.  However, I sometimes really wonder what has been omitted from the story...

Of course, the fact that they've managed to keep all that subtle, under an excellent drama story, shows that this is truly an amazing piece of work.


Overall, my interpretation is this: (pretty much obtained from the first two eps).
Haruka is rather shy and weak (and not exactly smart).  Mitsuki is not shy, tries to be exemplary but still weak inside.  To me, Mitsuki is really a better match with Takayuki.  Haruka's relationship with him was more "passionate" and less "substance".
