[up]I think other than showing the 3 girls handling whatever is going to happen like you said, not really. Maybe showing what happen to Nino. Even if Aqua survives, I really hope Aka shows them receiving some sort of public backlash so there is still some payoff. Why do I got the feeling there is going to be a time skip epilogue or something like that.

There aren't that many plot threads left hanging.

Most should be solved in a "Where are they now" epilogue, but story-wise, there isn't much that remains unexplained. And the number of characters who deserve more than a single page/panel of epilogue is limited - the twins, Akane, Kana, Miyako, Mem I guess? Maybe Himekawa and Melt?

So four chapters should easily be enough. Plus there won't be any intertwining of "behind the scenes" stuff and plot, it should be more straightforward.

I still bet that Aqua may die and get reincarnated again just so Aka could fuck up the shippers.

Ruby has already waited 18 years, I'm sure she's willing to wait 18 more.

Lol, imagine if a reincarnated Aqua is born from either Ruby, Kana or Akane.[lol]

[up][up][up] Yep, this is what I mean.

[up] Definetely not Ruby as it is the whole point. But if it is Kana, people will be raging even more. And buy the last volume just to burn it like it was with Ore Imo. grin

Maybe they will give us a Boku No Hero-like ending (Spoilers from the Boku No Hero manga).

Aqua survives, but pursues a more mundane career, while he is unable to meet with the girls due to scheduling problems and officially does not stay with any of the three.

[up] It will be the worst ending possible IMHO.

I initially wanted a G-Senjou no Maou style ending: Aqua gets into the prison for killing Kamiki, makes it look like manipulated all of the girls not to fuck up their carrers but is still reunited with one of them after getting out in a few years. But last chap[ter denied such possdibility.

If he gets reincarnated again and starts dating Ruby, I will praise the fuck you to shipping wars.

But I bet next chapter Crow girl will just resurrect him instead.

Also, the alternate reality where noone died was nice but to idealistic.

Wow. Gotta respect actually going through with it.
I don't. The protagonist dying at the end isn't novel to me, and not particularly surprising for this story. But Aqua just spontaneously decided to off himself for a reason he immediately realized was terrible. If he lives, it's just adding tension to the climax. If he dies, that's just a bad ending.

It's one of those Catch-22 situations to me. If he dies, that's a pretty lame end that will cut off several in-progress plotlines. If he lives, then that renders the last several chapters pointless and cheapens the entire supernatural aspect of the series by making it a reset card. I feel dirty by saying it but, right now, I think that having a timeline reset back to pregnant Ai with actual no-memory reincarnate twins is the best possible ending.

Does anyone actually read these?

I can't think of a result that would actually satisfy me so I'm just here to see how it burns.

[up]Just 2 chapters left. To late to drop it. surprised

Reincarnation ending is still possible.

P.S.: The last part shows yet again why Akane is the best heroine here. Aqua should have asked her for help. But he was to absorbed in doing everything himself.

[up]*2. Akane was the true Chessmaster.

Aqua is just an edgy kid who thought he was bad.

[up]I've seen some very strong criticism as to how this seems to be portraying suicide as a selfless, noble thing for Aqua to do.

Does anyone actually read these?
