I also binged Domestic Girlfriend early in the pandemic. I have a love/hate relationship with the series overall. On the one hand, the reason the ending is so incredibly polarizing is because the story and characters are so easy to be invested in. You really care about these three and the melodramatic messes they find themselves in. On the other hand, well, the ending. Domestic Girlfriend makes you feel something, that is for sure; and that is better than a lot of lesser series can say.
I was definitely invested in the characters, I just didn’t get invested in whether Hina or Rui won in the end. I just needed to know what happened next. This is why I love the series, because I wasn’t one of the people slighted. Plus, I felt the ending hinging on a huge change out of left field was appropriate given some of the previous arcs. I get why some people are made, but I wasn’t in their situation.
