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

[Bonzalez]

The four leaf clover really was the friends we made all along….

It’s really just this last chapter that feels kinda meh, it was pretty decent up until then.
Anyways I’m glad Uichi and Yotsuha get the happy endings they strived for

I really felt the whole last arc was pretty weak, pretty much since Futaba got revealed as the mastermind it felt like the author hadn't considered how to actually end the story and was just winging it

This is absolute dogshit. It’s a perfect example of what happens when a trash bag gets so full that all the filth gets churned up—this manga is the murky, sludgy residue that settles at the bottom. The sad part is what a massive waste of time it was. These authors seem to think the reader is a garbage truck; they just dump any trash in, expecting you to scoop it up and be perfectly happy with it.

There, I’ve vented.

I’d give it a 6 or 7; the ending felt incredibly rushed, and the father was forgiven way too easily. I mean, if I went to my wife and said, "Hey, woman, I named our daughter after my crazy lover because I love her more than I love you because she understand the real me—and oh, by the way, here’s the kid I had with her; meet my new daughter," I highly doubt she’d forgive me. At the very least, she’ll tear me to pieces—and I wouldn’t blame her. Hell, I’d probably be struck down by divine retribution too. And the rest about this "final"... was such a massive deus ex machina that I think you could present it at a scientific conference as irrefutable proof that God exists. They say that God moves mountains, and I truly believe He moved everything during this finale...

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.

Eh, i feel there has always been gradual change to the tone even on the middle of the story, so i don't think it's abrupt of a change. Only the last arc felt very rushed

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.

Pretty sure the anime has bigger chance of getting even more rushed if it ends up to be 12 episodes

"It's over. After everything, this feels... this feels... anticlimac—"

the ending is kinda........
akasaka style?

I would expect multiple seasons, should the first season be reasonably popular.

What a mess. Rikka was bad, but I think what really killed the momentum was the three chapter long flashback right before Clover's big reveal. The mystery died before it really resolved, which cheapened the cult and the real villain revelation.

Hell, I would have accepted Kazuha being alive all along and using Futaba to torment her daughter one more time. At least then Clover would have kept the menacing presence instead of quickly being replaced with a sad little meow-meow who isn't really to blame for all these horrific crimes, right guys???

 

[ikhwan26]

it really is that easy

 

[kirby_422]

I feel we almost got more about what changed in the timeline she killed herself (the pawn boys all being happy, etc), than in the final timeline. Her relatives are the only people we really heard anything of, and not even that much on them; did bio dad actually suffer from his public speech, what end effect did family support have on half sister, etc. Main couple are happy, mom is sad, brother and half sister are supposedly recovering. We don't even know whats happening with his family, whether it still has problems without everyone trying to make them worse.

 

[Friendly-Sentence710]

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?

I think Yae and Uichi are good friends so Yae doesn't feel right creeping on his boy's girl

What I'm wondering about is the Masochist Popular girl. Sure she's happy, but that's not giving her distain and punishment that she craves.

And who knew the solution was the mother just needing correction lol

Old busted: Brat Correction
New Hotness: MILF Correction

Wait til people find out that most people dont stay together with their high-school sweethearts.

 

[justoneplayer]

Yeah pretty good but last 15-20 chapters were rushed but we got a good ending

At the very least, she’ll tear me to pieces—and I wouldn’t blame her. Hell, I’d probably be struck down by divine retribution too.

Totally agree 💯. I hate the "father" the most, he cheating but blame on Yotsuha's mom only, like he forgot it takes need two person to tango.

 

[Rasias]

This one fell off so hard lmao

Like everything just gets solved perfectly without any problem?

 

[KCfr149]

Allat in 1 chapter 😭

 

[Ovaeron]

meh.

 

[Akita13343]

I agree that it was rushed, but I'm honestly very happy with everyone surviving. This story felt so depressing, especially early, and so I just want the main characters to be happy with their friends, even if the friends don't deserve it. I'd say my favorite chapter of the story is when the MC finally stands up for himself and calls out his family. Dad still should've received some sort of punishment, I have a feeling he's gonna get divorced soon considering the side eye the mom was giving him

 

[es_kan]

Defeated with the power of popup ads, wouldn't have guessed that.

 

[Synso]

I’m really disappointed, this was one of the worst fall offs i’ve seen in a manga.

The manga was pretty good until these last 10 chapters, it really felt like everything that was built upon that point was basically useless.

 

[alkaline46]

the good ending. i'm a little weepy. lol
