   	Well I manage to finish reading the story but it turns   
   out it was never proper finished because of Kon's involvement   
   in anime which gave him no time to complete the manga.   
   	He worked out his plan for the ending but never   
   had time to reduce it to proper manga.   
      
   	Too bad.
