Kimi wa Yotsuba no Clover - Vol. 12 Ch. 106

[ShaiKhulud]

Honestly, I've seen worse endings and kinda happy that despite the rushed last arc it's not edgy or shocking.

It was a nice read, 7/10.

Ending is a bit rushed, but overall good

"Finally, after all these years, you truly are a four leaf clover!"

BRAVO, NOLAN\1

Whatever happened to Yae getting out of juvenile prison and still wanting to abduct Yotsuha?
Wouldn't he have developed an violent stalker fixation on Yotsuha anyway even if they repeated the timeline?
II don't remember Fu-chan causing Yae to become violently obsessed and infatuated with Yotsuba? Didn't she only start giving Yae tips AFTER Yae was already obsessed with yotsuba and wanted to ostracise Uichi
Isn't Yae just a naturally evil person like Yotsuha's mum?

The storyline shows that naturally evil people exist, Yotsuha's mum is proof of that, so isn't Yae one too?
Thanks for the really quick translation !

Yae wasn't always evil, he was only obsessed with Yotsuha because of the fact he only had one parent and she had none. He convinced himself his 'purpose' of having not much was in order to understand and be with Yotsuha, because he was her 'hero'. He convinced himself everything bad which happened to him was for that purpose. He became 'evil' in order to cope with how miserable his life was, essentially.

In the other timeline without Yotsuha, he eventually answered his question of 'why do I have nothing' with the fact he needed to actually change his situation. Without Fu-chan reinforcing Yae's behaviour and allowing him to express his dark desires without feeling bad about it, I suspect Yae would've just had the same realisation later anyway. The core of his issues was his coping mechanism which he was able to overcome in the other timeline.

Kazuha on the other hand is just a fucker who likes the despair of everyone around her. There's no reason for her evil nature other than the fact she gets off on seeing the different sad expressions of people she would consider her 'friends' or 'followers'. It's why she loves her own face in despair at the end too. In true Junko Enoshima style, she absolutely loves to see the people she 'loves' heartbroken, including herself.

Plus, they still have their memories from both other timelines. I suspect both would be able to stop Yae from going too crazy, considering he no longer has Fu to reinforce him. They mention that they have 'stuff left to do' too, so stopping Yae's craziness would be one.

This was an ending

 

[Arkuses]

That was pretty quick
Needed more time to boil imo

 

[MrPP118]

Pretty good ending, I still have my own issues with how this ended, mainly regarding Fu-chan but all's well that ends well, I know some people think this was rushed/axed or along those lines but I'm fine with this ending.

I'd rather this ending than risking the author say....going the path of another "revenge" based series that completely jumped the shark way too many times and had an absolutely ass ending, atleast this ending was clean with none of that.

 

[itskenny9031]

Not as bad an ending as I thought it'd be, but I really hope the anime has better pacing in the end and is a bit longer. Kazuha's defeat should've been over multiple chapters, and the last arc is definitely a downgrade in quality. This ending gives an axed vibe even though I know it isn't axed.

I would've also preferred if they showcased more of the other characters in the end, considering how many peoples fates were changed. Show me how they dealt with some of the other issues better, like Yae still obsessing over Yotsuha as someone else mentioned. Show me more of the actual new status quo. The ending is weirdly paradoxical in that it's both pretty satisfying and also not very satisfying at all because I don't get enough on how much good Uichi and Yotsuha actually did. It doesn't feel as big as it actually is.

For Uichi and Yotsuha specifically though, it's really good. I really liked how the narrative treated them, but again, this should've been longer. Kazuha's downfall being as quick as it is makes little to no sense to me either, considering how easy she manipulates the people around her. People wouldn't believe Uichi and Yotsuha over her, at least not that quickly. Especially not the entire country of Japan? And why wouldn't her followers be against her arrest and actively go against the people advocating for it? And the fact Fu-chan just says 'oh yeah her manipulation isn't a problem cos we're gonna be strict and put her in solitary permanently!' is hilarious, as if she would have a say at all. Hell, showing any of the court case could've been interesting. I was really disappointed with how they capped off Kazuha as a character and the 'bigger bad' of the story. Her actual ending where she revels in her own despair is definitely really good though, so it's a shame they missed the mark on everything else.

Fu-chan in general does a lot of just saying shit without showing us. 'theres still stuff left to do right?' and then not showing us anything. get the fuck out of here.

Overall, I'd give the manga an 8/10. A fantastic manga with a subpar final arc. Could've been a 9 if they had 10-20 more chapters, but oh well. I wish it didn't skip over so much. Would definitely recommend to people though, because the first 80 or so chapters are genuinely up there with some of my favourite mangas in my opinion. Anime writers, it's over to you.

 

[DDG.Jester]

Well, that is it. We got our ending, although it is not a "good" ending. But im thankful that at least this unique manga got their ending unlike many. 6/10 for the ending, 10/10 for the whole manga but 100/10 from my heart.
Its been a long journey. I would love to see an extra chapter of them become an adult and have kids. Peace.

 

[Dark1400]

it was rushed, but the conclusion wasn't bad, the main couple managed to make a happy end for everyone and punish the mom, so a nice ending i guess.

 

[GalladeGuy]

What was the point of all these timeskips if you're not even going to show them married with 10 kids at the end? Lame.

More seriously, the manga had this kind of dumb "power of friendship"-type stuff from the start, but the final arc or two turned it up to such a high level that it really ruined my enjoyment of the story. Maybe the anime can cut out some of the more ridiculous parts.

 

[Plasmaghost32]

The ending reminds me of a manga I read back in the day with the MC going back and fixing pivotal point in the plot I wish I could remember the name for it

 

[Zxzzxz2]

Hmm. Yeah, I mean. Sure

 

[Sung1906]

Some characters were forgotten, some plots were overlooked and no time skip to marriage and all? however was god. This ending getting rushed unfortunately trashed the ending but thats what we got

 

[DMan_chine]

Well... that's an ending. I think this was disappointing because the story was very thorough and messy, but the ending was... very clean.

It wasn't a bad ending, it just felt like it was just an ending. Maybe two more chapters would have given it time to settle in a rewarding closure.

 

[Achaius]

I hacked the Internet, people.

 

[Exarch-of-Sechrima]

"Thank you, You Are My Four-Leaf Clover"
"Four-Leaf Clover?"
"Because you used a Four-Leaf Clover to time travel and save me."
"Oh, yeah."

 

[Dingusthe1st]

We just 0 to 100 for the ending huh

 

[ahoy555]

THAT'S MY BOY UICHIIIII!! THAT'S WHY HE'S THE GOATTTT!! THE GOAAAATTTTT!!!

 

[Knousagi]

yeah there's just no way of getting around the feeling of the mangaka getting tired/wanting to move on from this story in the last few chapters huh

 

[velocite]

Thank you for the TL!
