The revolution is coming! But I am glad that everything is going well. So will we see a new android the next chapter? It feels like this story has completed.
Thanks for the chapter.

You're very welcome.

Yes, I was going to note that the physical book has indicated that the series is complete. The publisher site still lists future updates as "to be determined", but it seems like this is it. Thank you for everyone's continued readership. I'm very glad that I was able to help Detroit fans access this work.

Well, things went a lot more smoothly in japan, instead of the whole armed revolution in the states :wooow:

Guess the publisher wants to wait to see some sales numbers before deciding if they want to push a second part.

Well that was underwhelming, while i enjoyed all the 3 arcs being directly connected but not at the same time the execution lacked the impact of a proper drama series so i sort of didn't care for it "most" of the time and just kept scrolling

That explains why the ending is just music=revolution tool rather than something more complex (or an actual conclusion) cause it probably didn't sell well enough to be a detroi tsurezure children

Damn, I was expecting more. But I guess this will do, ending feels a bit lackluster and rushed though.

I feel like this ending is forced (like the series was dropped). But on the topic of the whole Detroit BH stuff, I feel like Androids would probably have a better experience in Japan.

Japan has an aging population, with it set to eventually cause a lot of problems in the work force. If you could have Androids take those jobs then you can have them filled without taking work away from others. That wouldn't always be the case since it can easily be abused, but if done right I don't think it'd be that invasive.

Also you have people that can't stand other humans, or want to marry inanimate objects. I could see a whole slew of folks there jumping at the opportunity to have the perfect wife or husband. I think the DBH game had a news article about the existence of Androids causing a decline in birth rates, which given the trends in countries like Japan and South Korea I'm not surprised.

I also believe that the ending was rushed as if the series was soft-cancelled. There were a lot of plot points in previous chapters that were obviously meant to be developed later, like allusions toward Hanazawa's drinking problem over the death of her sister. I expected a resolution more like Todd and Alice in the original game. Instead, it was closed by punching out the problem. Very uncharacteristic of the story development until now.

My personal impression is that the series was not that popular. Just based on my interactions in other communities, even this translated version had trouble among English-speaking fans. It would have flare-ups of activity, and then very promptly be forgotten. Quantic Dream itself may have been a factor as well, as they never properly developed the series for the Western audience. The manga even reads left-to-right, which to me is a sign that they had intended to officially translate and release it at some point. Not sure what happened. It's a shame because the writing and art were good. It had potential to give fans one more nostalgic run with the Detroit universe.
