Cliffhangers do suck, but at least the threads for this arc were all tied up. This is better than a manga that stops abruptly mid release. That said, I of course would love to see the larger game with Zero, Shirube, Zaizen, and now Kijurou resolved.
Yes Fukumoto is old, but he continues to be quite productive, and he has come out with sequels long after the originals seemed to conclude in some of his other series. I am more hopeful for a fitting final arc for this than I am for resolution of some other manga.
