That's it? 😢
I am of two minds on this ending. Part of me feels like it is a bit of a letdown, like it was built up to be a big, climactic moment only for it to end up with him sketching her in the art room like it has been so many times before. Then, another part of me appreciates that this is what it should be in a way. These two kids are only at the very beginning of the longer story that will be their relationship; it doesn't need to be a big climax of any kind.
There is just something a touch emotional about a series you have read for a long time coming to an end... I read that there will be an epilogue chapter included in the final volume when that comes out in August, so there is still a little bit to go. But, thanks for the ride nanashi! I wish you luck in your next series!
I feel very whelmed by that ending. I've read enough manga to adopt the "the journey matters, not the destination" mindset when it comes to it, as so many times the endings just leave me feeling mixed. I had a good time for most of those 154 chapters and that's what matters the most in the end.
This pretty much encapsulates my feelings as well. I don't regret reading this series at all and it managed to stay entertaining pretty much the whole time. Also, this final arc that had the judo tournament and the art exam was probably my favorite of the whole series. So, it kind of feels like it is going out on a high.
Its been 3 years since I started reading Nagatoro. My life has changed quite a bit since then. I graduated, got a job, did a bunch of other stuff. I think this was the best way to end the manga.
Fly high, senpai 🫡
It was an okay ending, but seems a little bit childish in a way? Not in a bad way, but in a "...and they lived happily ever after" way.
Not trying to take this down to build up another series, but if you want to read another series in a similar vain, check out YANCHA GAL NO ANJOU-SAN.
Didn't they finally kiss, like, a month ago? Dude really had zero plans past the will-they-won't-they.
Honestly, good call.
