@Geriatric hedgehog I found a synopsis of the novels on Reddit. Looks like there are some small changes from the novel (they are under the spoiler tag)
Thank you very much for saving me the trouble of looking for this!! My subjective and kyoani-biased view is more in preference of the anime. I definitely preferred that Mayu retained the solo, especially as it was completely in keeping with Reina's character, and as it also held back on an even more saccharine ending than what we got - though this is one of those anime which is so well developed and likeable that I honestly would not have minded the most Hollywoodily positive ending either heh; in terms of romances, it didn't really matter to me that they went more Yuri, as romance didn't really ever seem a focus of this series and also it gave us the amazing Liz & The Bluebird; it certainly made for comedy with Shuichi's confession eliciting shock and horror ; also I assume it really added to the Kumiko and Reina dynamic; I liked the open ended nature, especially as I felt the yuri-ness was a tad bit closeted anyway with the implication of neither party ever likely to commit.@Geriatric hedgehog I found a synopsis of the novels on Reddit.

Oh yeeeeaaah, you're right!! Perseverance pays off eh? To be fair I never would've remembered that until after being reminded when reading that link you posted heh@Geriatric hedgehog oh I did see something else that gives a hint to the end romantic situation. Look at the last scene again and check out what is on her binder/notepad. Someone mentioned on Reddit and I would have never put 2 and 2 together but it’s clear as day if you know to look
I wonder who that will turn out to beMysterious Childhood Friend Whose Name He Has Forgotten
