Ever Green (KASUKABE Akira)

Well, this thing ended now. Some guy on /a/ did a speed scan of the final chapter. Here's a direct quote from him.

Fuck you, Yuyuko Takemiya. Never again.

The ending was definitely rushed, but learned nothing and achieved nothing? I disagree. You'll have to read the final two chapters and decide for yourself. Speed scans often miss the finer points in the narrative.

Well, this thing ended now. Some guy on /a/ did a speed scan of the final chapter. Here's a direct quote from him.

 

 

And so our hero has learned nothing, achieved nothing, and ultimately continues to do nothing.

What a resolution everybody. It was all pointless!

Fuck you, Yuyuko Takemiya. Never again.

Anyone else notice the bus driver?  For a moment, I thought they would be heading to a certain monster high school...

Nah, MC is too much of a pussy to last at Youkai Academy. Take some lessons from Tsukune on how to be a badass Hotaka!

If someone like myself couldn't wait for the final chapter, heres the ending thanks to rpapo from animesuki.

Thank you man! Now I have no regrets.

Well,that certainly isn't what I was expecting.

 

Why are all the endings to romance mangas complete shit these days?

Because everyone's trying to "break the mold," so they don't get called "typical."  BTW, I didn't read the spoiler.

what kind of era is this? side characters are getting way more interesting development in mangas

Wow, that's even lamer than what I was expecting! Even so, I will read through it myself (when the scanlation is done of course) before judging it, but maybe I should already start warning people that's this really isn't worth the time...

oh wow

this ship is an ice breaker, found myself forgetting the main drama

wait wut??

He took the bus, left On-chan at the stop, came back the opposite way?

WHAT TELEPORTATION MAGIC DID HE USE?!?!

Also, I ship this so hard, This should be their story not those 2 half-siblings. Like Tonari no Saya-san

lol lol lol lol

I didn't mean the harsh words to the son, but to the father corpse just when he passed away.
The 2 kids could just suffer from their father weakness in relationship
 
I don't understand why in Japan, divorce or unfaithfull seem to end to a total break in relationship. It's weird for me (I'm french so sorry for my english). They can "forget" their kids and make a total new life.
Or it's a manga issue ?

Well, at least the chapter provided a full closure to that plot end.

However the fact that it ends in two chapters is depressing.

If someone like myself couldn't wait for the final chapter, heres the ending thanks to rpapo from animesuki.

I didn't mean the harsh words to the son, but to the father corpse just when he passed away.

The 2 kids could just suffer from their father weakness in relationship

 

I don't understand why in Japan, divorce or unfaithfull seem to end to a total break in relationship. It's weird for me (I'm french so sorry for my english). They can "forget" their kids and make a total new life.

Or it's a manga issue ?

My uncle divorce and end up never come back to see his children. He just disappear. Annd this is quite common in my country
