Danshi Koukousei, Otome Game no Akuyaku Reijou ni Tensei Suru. - Ch. 20 - Ending④

The axe was swung so hard that the ending got split into 4 chapters... WHY..?!

 

[FiddlePop]

Pretty sure, it is supposed to be "with you" on page 17

 

[Sandmann1st]

Axe….ruined the yuri

 

[FiddlePop]

I'm more bewildered that they actually acknowledged that "tee hee, we are doing a roommates joke here" in the last pages

It was an unreal ride getting new Ending # chapter update after update. It made me think that the story would continue beyond this arc. Then suddenly plot twist, Ending is indeed the ending.

Masterfully done, everyone is now suddenly indifferent to a premise that they were kinda excited/fond of.

I'm just sad man

So there is a "Yuri route" but it's mostly them being close friends. And a possible BL route opens up for the mob reincarnator.

I don't mind axed endings but we need a better epilogue. Saying Tiara gets suspended for a week and later comes back doesn't count.

 

[T-sama]

Why do all the good things get canceled?

Because good stories don't sell as well as self insert slop

 

[NinjaGoemon]

"I'm just afraid if it doesn't settle on something this'll be a short affair."

Looks like I called it back in chapter 11. After adding another transmigrator and being unfocused as to progression and central conflict, there was no other outcome than an early end.

At times it felt as if it wanted to just keep adding characters. Like we had a random vampire lady who never showed up again.

I'm sorry, I love yuri (and believe art should be allowed to breathe its potential), but this time I feel like the manga's own flaws were the result here rather than it being yuri curse.

Granted, it certainly didn't help.

 

[Terrate]

No. noo NOOO DON’T LEAVE

 

[MangaRoxas]

"And there was yuri I guess ¯\(ツ)/¯ the end."

Emphasising that their relationship is just exactly the same at the last second seemed like a weird move, why even cram in the confessions and "yuri route confirmed" then?

 

[qaaj]

If you think about it, all the warnings against the yuri route being the end of everything, if it were even possible...came true.

 

[NippleToaster]

Damn it, the axe fell again

 

[CURIMA]

Yuri just doesn't sell!

I mean, you are here reading this for free and not buying the manga supporting the author

 

[Pyoro]

"Well whatever". Well said, protagonist. Exactly how I ended up feeling about this.

 

[ShinduPK4]

The ending feels extremely rushed and anticlimactic. I thought that maybe it was a LN/WN promo, but the manga is the original...

---

That's because on the inside, I'm a typical high school boy.

I genuinely completely forgot about this

 

[Kanelel]

No kiss. 2/10

 

[Tmil]

Ok

 

[Andigo]

I'll never understand why so many axed series go for a lukewarm "well that happened" ending, and not "and the two got married, said gex, and had 12 children."

Axes would be half as trashy if they didn't reflect people losing the project and having to go back to alternative life plans. Some or all of the staff (artist, often assistants, maybe more) lost this job. If there isn't a final volume release (or maybe any volume in the case of some web series) the team doesn't have much financial stake anymore.

So we end up reading bad editor ideas, passive aggressive protests against bosses or audience, the author asserting their own bad taste, and sabotaging art because it feels like an obligation more than something the artist owns. The circumstances💴 are terrible for art, especially about something hopeful like love.

I found the last chapter kind of insulting, but there's no way to separate the author's bad taste from editor mandates or from self-sabotage. Granted 4-chapter ending points a bit towards bad taste imo.

 

[Koiish]

Really turned the finish line into the starting line with the last few pages huh.

 

[Cybir]

That's a respectable ending. She won her friendship and didn't force FMC into anything crazy.

Really enjoyed her friend though as he helped to expand and ground the characters. Could've had more character development and interactions, but overall 6/10.

 

[Primo_Itoko]

well, it was good while it lasted. Sadly it didn't last long.
