Funny.... that's almost identical to the ending of the "His Dark materials" series by Philip Pullman..... only in that one there is a good reason why they can't meet again.

Also fun fact. EVERY official anime or game in Japan has a manga. It is unavoidable and I wish it wasn't the case but what to do, they need to make money off the manga-only fans too. :/
