| THIS IS A MANGA ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS ANYTHING BEYOND THIS CHAPTER. ---------------------------------------- People can dislike this final but i love. |
The battle is over.  Show respect for the fallen who fought so bravely. |
| Huh, it feels like the end of a journey while a new (eternal?) one begins. A fitting finale actually. Nora and Okazaki will live forever as what they are now. |
 |
| Pretty nice ending, honestly. Now to wait and see how many months it'll take for this to switch from publishing to finished on here. |
| The ending was quite underwhelming for me. So,judging by this final chapter,was makoto successful in reviving Nora in the end? It looks like the era they are walking in together is atleast a few decades after the death of that bob haired girl. Still, the series was not bad overall. |
| This was good. Generally, don't even bother with vampire stories, but started this one because it's the same author of Aku no Hana and turns out this was a good vampire story with a satisfying conclusion. Finding out Nora's past wasn't really that relevant for the story but it reminds me of Aku no Hana final ending (how they both end with the beginning). |
Futari wa Milky Holmes was a mistake Yoshii did nothing wrong |
| VERY underwhelming ending, but heck it did what the title called for and that is "Happiness". 7/10 |
| "You can't spell slaughter without laughter". |
Dysisa said: Pretty nice ending, honestly. Now to wait and see how many months it'll take for this to switch from publishing to finished on here. Yes, MAL is super slow to update series. This will be labeled complete on MAL hopefully sometime next year. Noblesse ended last year and still has yet to be labeled complete |
| This final chapter was indeed underwhelming. The last few pages were pretty nice, though. Overall the plot could've been fleshed out a little more but it was a decent series nonetheless. |
| As much as I like Oshimi Shuzo's work, I think this manga was more of a flunk. He said in a past interview something in the lines that he "doesn't want to write for the reader" or "murder the reader with his writing", I don't clearly remember, and, in with that approach in mind, the reader makes a pact about how a lot of his storytelling depends more on getting the underlying tones and the "feeling" instead of following a simple storyline. Even with that mindset, I think this lacked a little more substance to give a solid scaffold to the concept he was trying to work. This just didn't get the same punch as Aku no Hana or Boku wa Mari no Naka (the latter being, to my taste, his best work so far), both of which had a solid (while simple) basic story line to support the more otherworldly bits. I fear that Chi no Wadachi follows a similar path of "unresolveness", as that story has been building a huge hype since the beginning but sh*t has yet to hit the fan. |
| Everything ends with a beginning. For all eternity they find to strive for happiness. Good end. |
When someone asks me why I like anime, I'd say Just Because. |
| This is some wholesome ending I like it. |
 |
| it was alright. The story became worse after it started off strong though that's for sure. Ending was okay 5/10 |
| Just meeeh fine still. |
| Ok, I can expand on some of what I wrote in my review here since we all read it and have the spoilers out now. So Sayu lived for 100s of years and yet he still hunted and fed, but Yuuki who completely gave into the blood almost immediately after being rescued, who killed his own girlfriend because he was so blood thirsty some how attains some kind of peace of mind or stoic nature just because he was locked up for a period of less than 10 years? I thought the rules in the beginning were that the call of blood was overwhelming that it was impossible to function like heroin withdrawals. Yet he becomes mute and completely pacified, and then out of that he wakes up from that <10 year slumber as though he were Buddha. Why was Gosho obsessed with him? The little brother connection wasn't strong enough and they literally barely spent any time together, the fact that he wasn't a romantic interest but just some shadow of her brother she was chasing was not a realistic human relationship. This author is bad at giving characters motivations for their actions, they become martyrs at the drop of a hat in all of his works. Other things with Gosho and Suda, how the fuck did they survive? How did she survive twice? He cut her throat that is a death sentence and the size of the scar would suggest the wound was massive. The only thing that could have made sense if she became some half vampire but the author instead decides, oh shit what am I gonna do now? Better bring her back, and he does it twice. Okazaki randomly waking up and being saved by someone he attempted to kill was also just a plot device that didn't make sense, their relationship again doesn't make sense because they spoke very briefly and the Sayu was trying to kill him, it isn't like with Nora where she bit him and they transferred thoughts through blood and she was made human, he was just fighting with him and barely spent any time together with him. Then to top it off, the author just decides to kill him off and let him fade despite the theme is living on in the hearts of the living/undead. Then there is the vampirehunting incels, and the very nature of vampirism. Where it spreads exponentially per victim and generation, because they are perfect immortals and their victims result in a new recruit if they survive, the number of vampires will only trend upwards, meaning that in the future more people would know about vampires and there would be more hunters and they would be less safe as technology at this time is advancing, yet at the end the guy is sitting ontop of a tree in broad daylight so even granny gosho can see him. oof My biggest problem with this story is I don't feel like it ended because the plot progression was so minimal and so mute that I read through 20 chapters and thought ok what happened? And couldn't really find out much of what happened. Art was really cool though. |
 |
| It was decent, only followed cause vampires are cool. At least Gosho survived. Will watch an anime if it gets one |
| Loved the manga, but the final chapter was kinda meh, I got the same feeling as I did when I read fire punch's finale. Still though, I really loved where this went and I'm probably in the minority when I say almost everything I wanted to happen happened. 9/10. |
| It had an interesting concept but feels like it was just it, not so much of a story but some ideas grouped together. I liked the art and it was a good read, but overall a bit underwhelming. |
  |
| For me the very beginning of this manga was very, very promising. As usually art work made by Shuuzou Oshimi-sensei was very good, story line was very interesting, but the end, well by my opinion it was just something like a written/drawn in quickie, just make done it already. That manga has potential to be more spread, I missed so much growing of that vampire girl and releasing promising romantic relationship between MC and Her... Instead we got secondary character as a MC and ending was just like a cut. Not gonna say that the ENDING was bad, but thre could be even more written/drawn.... |
 My signature is coppied from another forum, because currently i don't have nothing better AlienWare M17X5 (2013-2016), MSI GT73VR 6RF TITAN PRO (2016-Presence) |
| this feels incomplete..... ok ending i guess... |
 |
| Lmfao wtf, I was catching up, didn't even realize it was ending this soon. I'm disappointing. |
 |
I loved Aku no Hana and Boku wa Mari, but this was just terrible. So many things just don’t make sense to me.
Nunota is a coward, I don’t really blame him. Nao is... mostly normal. Okazaki is also quite normal, but he’s so invested in Nora out of barely anything. Nora fed him, saved him from Saku’s mercy killing, she made him a vampire (yay...), she attacked his best friend... This manga sure had some shock moments. That screaming when Okazaki is experimented on, Sakurane being a psycho killer, the thing where Gosho is forced to stab Sudo, the blood straw thing... its all horrifying. |
 |
| The first half of the manga was great. The second half was pure garbage. 1/10 |
| :3 |
| Fantastic emotional ending. And some truly disturbing scenes along the way. Good stuff. |
| Why on earth would you revive the woman who caused the whole tragedy? I am so confused. A Trail of Blood is great though I guess. |
| I finished the whole thing in two days. The pages went by very fast and I couldn't stop reading. I'm very satisfied with the ending. The story wasn't without it's faults, as CrazyBear says above, but the ride was unforgettable. The art was great as always, especially these Van Gogh inspired skies. It was nice to see someone try something different in terms of vampire horror. It should also be noted that in these last 3 chapters every living character finds some sort of "happiness" in his life. |
 |
| It was a fine enough conclusion but I'm glad I've completed it. The art was the thing that's impressed me most overall |
 |
| the art syle is so good, some parts made me tear up lol |
| Another gorgeous manga from Oshimi, Shuuzou. Has bitter sweat end with plenty of plot holes left untouched but overall a good read. |
 |
| The beginning of a new journey for Makoto and Naro. Everyone died of old age after struggling in beginning of their lives. Pretty good ending, really liked it for some reason. One thing that I just loved from the art was the sky, similar to Van Gogh's ''Starry Night'' painting. Binged it in a day and goddamn, it was worth it. The art was truly magnificent. Really liked Yuuki's character after he changed. Sadly, they took his happy side in a flash. 8/10. |
   “You yourself have to change first, or nothing will change for you!” ' |
| Overall, I enjoyed the story, but I feel like the second half isn't as interesting as the first half. Ending was decent, but not perfect. |
| Amazing series, Similar to Aku No Hana. As in I didn't enjoy the second half as much as the first, But it was a good conclusion and its nice to see a different point of view |
| Kono Giorno Giovana Niwa Yume Ga Aru |
| Better than Aku no Hana. Very enjoyable, maintained suspense, interesting ensemble cast, some really cool subversive elements, and exceptional art. I liked how when Yuuki wouldn't bite anyone, they just ate him instead. A very tragic ending all around. Makoto says he won't forget anyone, but Nora and Saku had memory problems from being alive for so long. Doesn't look too hopeful for him going into the far future. Very impactful, probably my favourite from Oshimi so far. I'm sure he and Minoru Furuya would make quite the pairing. |
| absolutely no qualms with this one |
| A little bit underwhelming, considering his other works like Aku no hana and Chi no wadachi are so good. This was basically just Tokyo Ghoul but with vampires instead of ghouls. I think author wanted to do some commercially big work. |
