Kono Ai wo Owarasete kurenai ka - Vol. 4 Ch. 35 - I Can’t Take It Anymore

[Attqqqq]

This isn’t even the tragedy of a runner tripping before the finish line, this ending is eating shit at the 3/4ths mark, giving up and walking off field

Thanks for the translations, though!

I have so many mixed feelings about this ending. I'm the one hand Yuzu seems happier..? At least no longer fully depressed. But I can't help but feel she may have been happier if she had a.small.connection with Sachiko (at least she got her gay awakening from her)
The ending is also brewery ambiguous and part of me loves that but part of me wants just one more timeskip chapter damnit!!
It was still a wonderful story though and I think we know the characters well enough to extrapolate our own endings if we really wanted too.

This is exactly how I felt about it tbh. As much as I liked the open ending and how Yuzu seems listless after losing her identity as “Madoka’s fan”, it felt a little rushed…but either way I had fun ^^

So all told I guess nothing happened and everyone ended up in the same place where they started?

No, I think everyone is in a much better place than when they started. They are happier and ready for healthier relationships. And while I prefer a perfect ending, at least the story is in a place where I can imagine a perfect ending—as opposed to the stories where the author has me hooked in and invested and then decides to give an awful surprise ending that poops on everything that came before it.

Huh? This was worse than Sazi-chan and Liar Satsuki. They at least had proper endings. This felt like half a chapter and it's disappointing she didn't change much after something as life altering as living in another person's body.

35 chapters is more than I expects but maybe next time they’ll just make a freelance thing not connected to any magazines so it can be however they want unless they don’t have the time/money for it versus direct donations or so lol

Some actually do that! Artists will have side comics or draw what they want in telling a story. I think it's amazing how much passion will go

This sucked and people should absolutely stop rating garbage like this so well.

Damn, this sucks. This manga was so good and then it just fucking sucked at the end. I assume it got axed, but I feel like the mangaka could've done better than this. I'm really disappointed because the characters were really interesting and Yuzu and Sachiko had such a great dynamic. It pisses me off because the school trip they were on felt like a set-up for something really really interesting, but then they just switch bodies back, Madoka vanished again and then it ends with Yuzu seeing Madoka again and apparently not having resolved her feelings at all. I thought the whole point of the switching bodies back was that Yuzu and Sachiko were starting to understand themselves and each other, but no, apparently they just graduate, and Yuzu cuts Sachiko off. It feels like a waste really interesting concept. At least she worked at an aquarium so the yuri Big Aquarium Conspiracy continues.

I guess it wasn't awful. Because Yuzu at least tried to make an identity for herself. But her encounter with Madoka here clearly shows that she hasn't really matured that much. I don't necessarily think it's bad to have ambiguous endings, but it feels like she's barely moved past where she was in high school. Obviously she's matured from where she was before the body swap, but she still seems partially trapped in the past. Ironically, she's trapped by not acknowledging it. She skipped the reunion and refuses to talk to Sachiko. She hasn't moved on, she's refused to resolve her feelings. I guess you can put some blame on Sachiko for that kiss, but that was obviously an invitation for Yuzu to be something more. But she ran from it. She ran from everything. I guess an ambiguous ending where the protagonist has a kinda bad ending isn't that terrible. I'm sort of reasoning myself into being a bit more satisfied actually. Maybe if they had stayed body swapped longer a better, more mature ending for the characters would've been appropriate, but with the way that they were shoved back into their original bodies and things happened so quickly after that, it does kind of make sense they wouldn't actually resolve their feelings.

Yeah, I don't actually hate it. I take back my "this sucks". I wouldn't call it amazing, but it was interesting and I had a good time reading it. It might actually be really good and I just need to reread it to understand.

And the art was really beautiful, and in generally the writing was great. I'll be on the lookout for whatever the author does next.

Yeah just depends on their time and such, but I bet some ppl could make bank on H one shots with fanbox and stuff to fund their more structured story stuff lol, if not a writer hiring a freelance mangaka to draw their stories for them

 

[Beastkun]

honestly this felt like it could have used atleast one last chapter but instead decided to end there....

its a completely open ending and i have to say i really do hate open ending like this just for the fact we'll never know what exactly happened

all we do know is that they did meet again but was it just by chance that they was even able to see each other again or not....


damn its annoying

 

[recklessribbon]

Ugh. Pretty lame ending but I did enjoy the ride. Thanks for the translation!

 

[sksocks]

Not a good ending. Really just shit the bed here.

Also why is she suddenly into Madoka again? Especially 10 years later?? Why did she ghost Sachiko? Just a bad ending with no resolution, only Sachiko had improvement in her life really.

 

[QueenEtna]

????? i mean least she got a smooch but tf is going on with this ending 😂😂😂😭😭😭

 

[KatzenoYuri]

...Ok this was underwhelming...no, I'll say it, I dislike this ending very much, wtf is that even about?! The whole series was interesting but this ending, super meh!

 

[pink_rabbit]

Oh yeah, commissions are a thing to help out freelancers too

Ending is a bit confusing. Which is a bit of a disappointment. The journey here was fun though so it wasn’t a total loss.
