Kimi wa Yotsuba no Clover - Ch. 106

Thanks for translating until the end!

This series, like so many others, had a strong start, then stumbled in the middle with filler that had little impact on the story overall, then the end was rushed and weak.
I wonder if it's just burnout and/or loss of interest from the authors but this happens a lot. Like they weren't expecting to reach the end so they never really had a solid plan and it just gets so sloppy.

I'll collect my thoughts on the series later, but to me the ending didn't match the pace of the series. I know some people want to argue that it only feels fast because we got many chapters at once. But I think the real issue is that 3/4ths of the series has slow day-to-day interactions, then the last arc has jumps of years at a time and especially the last chapter has the whole fight with Kazuha squeezed into one, as if it all happens within a day, when realistically it would have been months.

I think the first 80 chapters of the series are really great, just kind of disappointed at the end. I really hope the ending was the fluke and not the first 80 chapters.

Meh it's an ok ending. It's a little too idealistic especially compared to the tone of the early manga but it is what it is.

By the final scene, Uichi has experienced over 40 years of existence and Yotsuha, almost 40 (with all the early time loops).

Amazing until around the Rikka arc, and then it began a slow roll downhill.

 

[rudezki]

Nah, this was great. Everything happened fast, yes, but at least they didn't stretch it out.

 

[qwsfdgh]

For a story about time travel, there wasn't much time given to the final chapters. A decent enough series though.

 

[nomunire]

These last few chapters felt like a rude chiropractor-adjustment into a good ending.

The initial tone was at least a bit cerebral, with all the time-loops, whodunit mysteries and violence.

Didn't expect the author to pull a full-on-certified deus ex machina, an ontological evil villain, and then drive us at full speed to rainbows and sunshine land.

Glad is a happy ending. But I really wanted the end to be a daughter between the mcs showing her "grandma" vibes/powers to her parents or to us the readers

 

[killxz]

I am so disappointed, so really disappointed
I am so tired of power of friendship
Just how many times did the MCs cry in this manga?

looks at the love prevails manga complaining about the power of friendship

Big bro got a puppy.

 

[kiero13]

[Darroth]

Ugh...it was fine until a little child changed everyone's mind and the police were convinced to wear towels over their heads because magic charisma.

So he used the fourleaf superpower to get the public on his side and out of the "mind-control"?

 

[Mitsu13]

I'm crying seeing Mitsuha smiling. They even had a dog. Everyone is happy here, him included. The ultimate happy ending

(Kazuha is technically happy too )

I agree that the pace is too quick for the last few chapters, but other than that, I like the ending. They deserved to be happy after everything they have gone through. But yeah, they should have shown better how they defeated Kazuha; it feels a bit too easy because of how fast it is. They also needed to show what they are doing with Yae and Rei, especially Rei's mom, as her happiness was because of Kazuha.

Thank you for the translations!

 

[yetanothergeek]

I think it was good ending, after everything we went through I believe they earned a full happy ending.
I do agree it seems rushed, like a whole arc compressed in a single chapter, if only this one chapter was actually like 4 or 5 chapters long it would've been perfect. I can just sense the editorial staff saying wrap it up, now!
Hopefully the anime will have a better more complete ending, you did get that part, about the anime adaptation, right?
I think it's been like 3 weeks since this chapter came out, but without translation that was news to me.

 

[Alteraucous]

It was a bit rushed but a nice ending overall. The only thing that's not making this a good ending is the fact this dumbass of a dad is allowed to be here.


But the manga fulfilled what it wanted to do: to make Yotsuha and Uichi happy. I'm glad they are.

 

[Atx271]

In addition to Kazuha being wrapped up in the most rushed manner possible, the start of the final volume tries to hammer in a Yotsuha depression arc that gets no satisfying resolution. The concept of the two leads switching roles to mirror each other is fine, but her getting nothing to do with what could be an extremely personal conflict, leaves an extremely sour taste in my mouth

Looking back, this series was always more style over substance, with a huge emphasis on the edge factor. But it definitely started to get worse halfway through. Rikka being turned into a one dimensional masochist is when I personally started noticing.

 

[GkStelar]

Eh, was ana rlight ending. As someone who's been reading sonce the beginning it felt a kinda rushed. We had so mamy chapters building up to the mastermind's reveal, but the resolution was so quick an easy.

Like, I agree with the plan they came up with. I feel it fits with the message of the manga. But this would have been better orchestrated over more chapters.

But it's fine, still a pretty enjoyable read regardless.

 

[Septazia]

What I can add that hasn't been said before?
Would I still recommend it? Yeah I think so, even in spite of the rushed ending, I think the author had the skill to make it work, maybe he should have taken a break.

I am very thankful to the translation team for their speedy work, it would have been painful to wait a month per chapter.
I hope the Anime is good and.maybe could be used as a way to fix some of the issues?
