I mean it's definitely a choice of all time to have the character who spent the whole story feeling his life was worthless if he didn't sacrifice himself for the sake of revenge actually succeed at it and leave pretty much every other person in his life scarred for life for letting it happen but I mean more in the sense that something about the whole framing of the chapter feels off but I can't put my finger on it. I have to wait for the next one.

Edit: If Aqua actually New game pluses in one of the girls kids I'm never going to read another Aka manga again though

This is why I said the protagonist dying at the end isn't novel to me. Using it this way just abruptly ends a bunch of subplots. It's more surprising than if they had been resolved before the climax, but really not worth it. Aquamarine could not fully live his true life until avenging Ai let Goro's identity move on. Then Aquamarine immediately dies. Fuck you, the end.


If Crow Girl knew she could reincarnate Aqua, her reaction last chapter would make no sense.

He'll reincarnate as a crow, and watch Kana and her family (she marries someone within three years) throughout their lives. Akwa becomes cro (cry)

Does anyone actually read these?

You know, I don't follow the series, but man the fans can be really hateful towards the girl they don't like. Almost getting 2010 flashbacks here. [lol]

On the bright side, the Kana-kane shippers are happy, because the obstacle is gone.

Well if there's anything I'm getting out of this chapter it's that I'll be free from Akane and Kana fans both bitching at each other once this story ends next week.

I seem to be in minority of those enjoying this conclusion though that could change once the final chapter hits

    Chapter 165 
I thought the reactions to Aqua's death were decent enough, but Aqua dying is still less satisfying than if Kamiki's defeat was completely unmemorable. The end text suggests it'll pivot to the girls' careers as they move on, which I find kinda worrisome when the story has only briefly questioned the morality of sacrificing your life to save your loved ones' publicity. Even Akane just talked about trying to cover it up the hard way.

[up]X2 I've already seen something similar to this conclusion in two different stories barely a few months ago so seeing a worse written version can simply not move me.

[up] Jujutu Kaisen and My Hero Academia.

Those 2 ended this year a well, and their endings are...controversial, to say the least. For different reasons, but still.

Seems Oshi No Ko is joining them (And it wouldn't surprise me if Vinland Saga does too.)

[up][up][up] Lurker since the anime aired, but I feel mich the same way. A long running plot for one of my favorite characters in another series was much better handled, though it was mostly shown from after it happened and was much more mundane in its reasons and causes.

[up]x3 a webtoon called trash belongs in the trashcan an a You Tube animated song series called alien stage. The former if you wanted to see a well executed drama featuring flawed people who frequently hurt others in a bid to find themselves and the latter if you want a well executed tragedy story.

The one thing both stories lack is the industry focused portions that Oshi no Ko has though but that's not the part I really had issues with anyway (well not the movie arc but there are manga centered around actors like skip beat anyway)

[up]X2 you probably shouldn't answer a question directed at me seeing as how you misunderstood what I meant.

We're back to 2016-2017 in terms of poorly received manga endings, I see.

For Oshi no Ko I really get the feeling of "author lost interest". The whole last bit has felt like a lame wet fart.

One thing I will give props to is it looking like Aqua is passing into the afterlife peacefully and then transitioning into "wait no drowning fucking sucks". Doing its best not to glorify this kind of death.

I mean I’m enjoying this conclusion too, but I wouldn’t call it good haha. Couldn’t help laughing when Kana slapped Aqua’s corpse. I know it was supposed to be a dramatic callback but come on, that was comedy gold.
