I had meant to drop a comment weeks ago, but things get away from me.

I have not read the manga, but I really liked the anime Ao Haru Ride – but of course I was disappointed when the anime stopped and was never continued.

In recent years I've been more interested in looking up manga for good series, so it might be that I need to go chase down the manga for this. It's not a high priority, though – and manga is an expensive way to go – unless my library has it. I'm lucky that my city/county library stocks a lot of manga series.
