Wow, that ending took me completely by surprise. But somehow that's expected of Kengo Hanazawa.
I think it was great. Hideo has gotten old and lonely, just as the ZQN hivemind said he would. This sort of suits him because his heart was always closed, and he wasn't socially fit. He's also learned the skills he needed to survive, so we're lead to believe he will spend the rest of his days like this. There's no fuss, no big drama, no epic or heroic ending, but that's just how he's lead his life up to this point so it's fitting.
There's no suicide as well, because that wouldn't be like him. He's got his delusions to keep him company, so he can deal with the loneliness, again just like how he did before.
He just survives, that's it. I like this ending.
This isn't so much a bad ending as an unfinished story. Hideo hunting deer and making his own slugs reminded of Farmland Saga. I'm sure the author could have shown surviving pockets of humanity around Japan while Hideo continued to survive until both came into contact, if he were so inclined.
But I think it left off with Hideo alone in Tokyo because as Claresilver47 said, that's essentially how this manga began – Hideo not in touch with the rest of society. Only now he's self-sufficient and confident and literally the hero of his own story. We'll never know what (if anything) happens next, but as long-runner endings go this was at least thematically consistent.
Huh (in a bad way)
huh what, this is the end? seriously?
One day I'll find a manga where the ending isn't a massive anti-climax.
What do you expect from people who have learn their social skills from authors of mangas, anime and LN, who had also learned their social skills from mangas, anime and LN.
That aunt who turned back young and have lots of kids has a better ending
wat?
They are disappointed with the lackluster ending to an amazing story. It's well deserved because the ending sucked.
I cant even
Rushed ending, much was left unresolved.
He literally sees a deer and decides to start making bullets and hunt for food instead of living off of canned food.
What a disappointment.
Stagnation, man. Over in the U.S. it seems the problem is originality to the point of alienation.
Overall, the manga was likeable, and it's those good moments that keep the memory alive.
It is because they rely on a lot of the same plot and character schemas, similar to how television shows in the West do. If you really look at all entertainment in general, there isn't that much originality in it. Most of the time it is almost the exact same kind of characters and only the plot is slightly different.
In the case of manga, Japanese are known for their quirky ideas. However, if you watch any Japanese movies or television shows, then you would quickly realize that while Japanese are good at coming up ideas they are also usually bad at making a story out of them.
For example, most of the characters in this story were actually fairly unique and were introduced in decent ways. The ways the characters interacted, however, was garbage. I mean shit, our MC most of the series looked like he had a mental disorder even when he was having sex with the high school girl. So much awkward dialogue and interaction.
I probably just spoiled most comics. To be fair, good ones are rare and not the norm.
dang that ending. I really like the realistic-ish survival aspect of the manga until that giant zombie and linked minds thing started. cant wait for his next work.
First, thanks a lot to the several groups/individuals that did translate it and put it online.
And as many said, the end is underwhelming. Too bad for a story that was really great, up until the moment they started moving towards Tokyo, I think.
Oh boy, you are going to hate being in your 50s ^^
So, it's shit right?

What a disappointing ending...
Damn... Was not expecting it to end that suddenly.
I feel empty now, one of my fav mangas is over
