A Method to Make the Gentle World

Haruka stayed true to his love for tomonaga so I think she was rewarded I chose to accept it this way

 

Exhibit A 

Spoiler

in this page you can see the fact that haruka did in fact date tomonaga. 

- Tomonaga wants to talk specifically about haruka, but is he here for "advise" like hirose says, or is he looking to get closer to aoi and broke up with haruka?? 

- Tomonaga doesn't give any hints besides a facial expression (ONE), personal opinion makes me think author left it so you choose who you like yourself.

   

 

Exhibit B

Spoiler

 

 

-My imagination took off and I loved this last scene.

-Its confusing but what I got from this picture is that haruka and tomonaga are very comfortable talking with each other

-Haruka is not wearing the same thing as when they had the reunion, so  I think that last panel happened before he went to see Aois' speech. 

-yea haruka got mad because tomonagas' spartan studying was ultimately directed at her during her remaining highschool days. Minor fight but he wants advise is all.

 

 

Yea this is how I will accept this ending, it was a fun ride but I am actually really happy they dont say it out load who he chose.    I have not recovered from the plane crash that was the ending of "the world god only knows".    

 

PS. THANks for translation!!

 

This seems to be the most accurate interpretation.

 

I'm still sad that this manga ended. I really liked Aoi and the fujoshi.

It's not really matter if Haruka indeed dating Tomonaga. Aoi better be with Kayo instead.

A method to make a gentle world doesn't exist.

I absolutely loved this manga! Thanks for all the hard work!

I... like the ending. Because it's not an overly sweet shoujo manga ending (eg: everyone gets married. I mean, this ending fits for some stories, but definitely not for something like this) and it's also not the kind of ending that leaves a really terrible bitter taste in your mouth (eg: Oreimo). I'm not an overly critical manga reader, so I was able to enjoy this, beginning to end. Thank you, Vexed Scans. You stuck through with this and we're all really grateful. 

I've started reading this series on a ripoff site, a time i didn't know of batoto yet so it's been about 4 years now? Started good and ended allright/ 'meh' to speak bluntly, decent art. Anyways, as always my thanks goes to the author and Vexed Scans for all these years. On another note, I always thought this didn't have that much reader until I saw the follow count... the best surprise

well it kinda have problemas this manga, the magazine dying and having to move to one that released one manga each 2 months, life is harsh xD
but I like it anyway and yeah, ended allright for me (it wasn't that bad to be meh xD)

After all the jokes about it, I want to see a pink ending for Aoi.

I also don't necessarily see Haruka getting Tomonaga, you might say it's implied, but aside from her going to see him I see no hint at it.

The bigger hint at it was Aoi asking him if Haruka was with him "this time", implying that he had come to one of her presentations before and she was with him. Not a whole lot in and of itself since Aoi and Haruka are/were friends, but this is Haruka, she wouldn't be going to provoke deep thought. The chapter doesn't give any firm answers in that regard, but it leaves enough there to say with near certainty that's where the story is headed.

honestly, I really wanted to see him with yurine. I figure he could do with some stability in his life, and yurine seems like the sort of person who'd like supporting someone and helping them fulfill their dreams (and eventually finding her own)

When she's not drunk, that is.

Disappointing, she's the least compatible with Tomonaga so the open ending shouldn't have leaned so much towards her.

Jeez, what's with the pillows reference being the final chapter title all of a sudden after the series title drop?

Also, that ending... I-I can't... Wh-WHAT AM I FIGHTING FOOOOOOOOOR

God, thank you for all your work over the years, Vexed Scans. I never imagined that when I finished reading this series I would be older than the protagonist.
 

I'm surprised you're all interpreting the ending to mean that Haruka ended up with Tomonaga.

Spoiler

The guy couldn't even remember her name, for crying out loud, and the way he treated her when she showed up at his door was perfunctory if anything. He sure remembered Aoi. And considering that Haruka didn't go with Tomonaga to see her old friend give her presentation? Hardly the reaction of someone who's happily together with her long time crush.
 
Tomonaga's reaction on pgs. 35 & 36 seemed more like that of someone who was going to tell someone else that he likes her. He's like, "Yeah, no... Kusakabe and I aren't together. I want to talk to you about why." Aoi's finally in a place where the two of them can meet as equals instead of as student and teacher, so he feels like he can make a move. Open ended, absolutely, but I definitely can't agree that he ended up with Haruka. He never said he wanted Aoi's advice, she's the one who said it.

Hmm, your interpretation is fine, but I still think that even despite that seemingly cold reunion, his line about "as for how we ended up after that... Well, that's a story for another time." leaves plenty of room for them to have developed a relationship. Him forgetting her name after years of no contact shouldn't be too surprising, considering they were never as involved with one another as he was with Hirose, but it doesn't necessarily mean Haruka had no chance with him after that point. Also, it shouldn't be expected of Haruka to attend a scientific conference hosting intellectual minds on a topic she has absolutely no interest in simply to see her friend (and if her relationship with Tomonaga were on the rocks, as implied by the last page, they certainly wouldn't attend together). To me, that exchange seems like "she's not with me because we're fighting, and yep, I need your advice." I'm not saying it's necessarily one or the other, but if the ending is truly open-ended as you claim it is, I don't see why you can't agree that he might have ended up with Haruka. At that point you're just forcing your own interpretation onto the manga. On another note, I think that the last panel of the omake is implicative of the eventual relationship between Tomonaga and Haruka.
 

It's a nice ending. What's Kayo's 'ending' though....

And here we see the true moral of the story. Otaku get no ending ;-;

I also don't necessarily see Haruka getting Tomonaga, you might say it's implied, but aside from her going to see him I see no hint at it.

Argh, business suit short-haired confident Hirose has quite the impact.

Felt the ending could need more impact

I'm surprised you're all interpreting the ending to mean that Haruka ended up with Tomonaga.

Well, it's been a good ride. Thanks for translating and bringing this to us!

lol its not open. everything is closed.

 

for the most part, however Haruka's progression with Tomonaga was totally left open.

personally, I think he's asking Aoi for advice because he's going to ask Haruka to marry him.  Since he has always fussed at Onoda-sensei for dating/marrying Tohno so now he's going to try the same thing but is trying to reconcile with his previous statements hence the need for advice from Aoi.
 
at least, that way it's not so bittersweet, ha.

That's what I'm hoping personally.

finally finish

 

kudos to all the scanlation group for these 5 years

It's been....quite a lot of time since I started reading it and guess what, the ending felt really sad. No it's good for characters and we have some kind of conclusion but now I have a free space in my soul and this emptiness is bitter. Nevertheless thanks for translators for finishing this work.

P.S. I still root for Aoi and I'm sure somewhere in the future they will end up together
