Oh right reo and the nurse girl existed, totally forgot

seems a decent ending, no uruma resurrection, and at least azuma is dead which was the girl that risked the life more than oota, kawana and reo

you have way too much faith in the mangaka, there is still one more chapter capable of shitting it up one last time

And author is making a new work

yeah ok and

The edginess is finally coming to an end. I have to say though, the author screwed up the ending. He should have made Azuma as Kyou's alter ego. The premise was already nicely setup from the beginning and the mechanism to do so was already shoe-horned into the story.

You see in the beginning, Kyou was neither confirmed a girl or a boy.

• His androgynous presentation continued hinting the possibility of him being a girl.
• It didn't help the idea that Kyou is a boy when that the first Judo-bully wanted to rape Kyou as his end goal.
• Then we have Momoki—the Lesbian psycho biological weapons maker. We see she is head over heels for Kyou. Another sign that Kyou is a girl.
• We are then introduced to Azuma who looks like an innocent Kyou. Every girl that gets into these hairy situations connected to Kyou, gets raped. Except Azuma Chizuru....

The plausibility for Kyou being a girl, if not Azuma, is ripe.

As for the alter-ego. When the author introduced the 2nd Kaname arc, he showed us that Kyou possess technology for so many new biological realities. Clones, body alterations, psychological re-writes etc. It was at this point there could have been a build up to link Azuma and Kyou as one.

In the end, Kyou could have been "defeated" and Azuma would have been "saved". Shun would have settled down with Azuma who is Kyou all along. Kyou and Shun would have both gotten what they wanted. Kyou being with Shun watching him closely forever. Shun getting revenge for his family.

Yes. Shun falls for "her" (or accepts her). In the end after "killing" Kyou, he marries Azuma and starts a family. If he learns that Kyou is now his family, and tries to get revenge, then he would have to kill his new family. Kyou's ultimate experiment is now complete.

The most perfect ending. It doesn't throw away all the bullshit the author introduced and gives them continued legitimacy through this psychological horror ending.

--------------------------------------------------

Right now, it feels like all the edginess this series has been riding on, is being picked up and thrown in the trash. Jūjika no Rokunin trained the reader to expect meaning extraction through escalation. This is edginess. But right now, it's all for naught.

The Azuma–Kyou unification:

• Does not require retconning major events
• Explains multiple anomalies (why Azuma is spared, why fixation patterns behave oddly, why Kyou’s interest is intimate rather than strategic)
• Converts excess cruelty into method, not noise.
• Turns revenge into a trap. Converts victory into containment. Forces Shun into a position where moral consistency destroys his future.
• It provides symbolic closure:
  • When Kyou finally feels something. It's not just pain. Kyou feels permanence**.
  • Shun “wins” and loses simultaneously.
  • The Kyou-Shun revenge-experimentation cycle doesn’t just continue; it now locks.

This is a legitimate horror ending. Not catharsis. Not justice. Finality. And it does something that resolves all your complaints. Every comment ragging on this manga is justified under the unifying problem this manga presents:

This manga fails to present a TERMINAL CONDITION.

As the story has gone on, it remained stuck in a pattern who's terminality is determined by the author's whims. Kyou’s incapacity leads to violence which he fails to feel, and the cycle repeats.

In contrast, by making Azuma Kyou's alter ego and having Shun marry Azuma, the terminality is self presenting. **Kyou's incapacity leads to fusion with Shun (marriage), creating an inescapable ethical paradox. The experiment ends because it can no longer escalate without self-annihilation.

This ending would also have repaired the reader's "contract" with the manga. We would have been given meaning per unit of suffering. It would validate our time by providing conseuqence. Right now, we are more like endurance testers for this manga.

---------------------------------------------------------------

If the official final chapter doesn’t perform a comparable recontextualization, then that means the author chose to just stop the manga. No end to the story.

But here is the sad part about all of this. The final chapter can't save this manga, no matter what.

You see, when I first came up with this head-cannon of the Azuma-Kyou unification, I was just reading the affordances the text had already provided. Gender ambiguity, identity fungibility, biotech omnipotence, spared victims, mirrored figures... the list goes on. I was not a reader inventing a vector for the story. Rather, it was the text itself, advertising vectors and then ABANDONING them.

I thought the author “knew where this was going.” At some point, I realized "Oh. They’re just keeping the machine running.” The bonus chapter confirms that realization from the author’s own hand, and became the final nail in the coffin.

It’s recognition that the work already opted out of meaning, and is now joking about having done so. The story stayed in maintenance mode for as long as it could. And maintenance cannot produce any kind of symbolic closure. Only noise, which is what we complained about every chapter.

Once that happens, no final chapter can redeem it, because redemption requires the author to take their own structure seriously again... structure that the author has already thrown away.... beyond the point of no return.

Shit post of a lifetime hahahaha
