Man, after all the grousing in the earlier chapter comments I was expecting a travesty. Instead we have a sweet positive chapter to end it on. Yeah, it is open ended but going from where it was to full on confession in like a chapter would have felt forced and stupid.
Shame the magazine died. I liked the vibe of this one. One positive of the open ending is that it is easier to be picked up elsewhere if the author gets lucky.

LayZzz Nah, it even leaves that open. He does intervene right at the end there. And by simply choosing to get involved in these chats with Shinohara he already stopped being an observer before. He never really noticed how much he changed from the start of the manga. He still casts himself as an observer but his actions already show that he no longer really is one.
