If this is done, then this should be marked with the END tag, no?

Manga was nice indeed.

The ending give me chills for some reason. Though, I really love this manga. Hamita was really skilled at creating a mess of emotions which feels somewhat ordered in this manga, somehow.

This ending felt abrupt, but at least the story stopped dragging things out with more drama.

I skimmed through the manga so maybe I’m missing something, but didn’t it go from happily ever after to “and then she died” in like 3 panels?

That’s like the most hamfisted cliche ending ever. In fact that’s the HIMYM ending lmao.

Was there like a whole “she struggled with depression” thing going on? Or a terminal illness thing? Cuz otherwise it doesn’t feel deep, it just feels like a shallow and cheap way for the author to crudely invoke negative emotions without actually building a message around it.

Basically it makes the author seemed unskilled and desperately trying to compensate for the lack of depth in the series by jamming in some corny, gaudy shock ending and trying to pass it off as some profound comment (that doesn’t exist).

I sort of get what the author might be trying to do, which is to use the death scene as way to give perspective on her life and its influence, but the way it was done was so gaudy that it just weakened the overall narrative when considered in context and with the tone.

Death scene? Are we reading the same story? Because she's alive and healthy here. But yes, the author is absolutely the worst at endings.

I'm unsure if you've read call of the night before but I liked this ending better then call of the night since kotoyama sucks ass with his endings

I didn't realize this was Hamita. How... tame...

The person at the end is their daughter? It's definitely a kid
"There once was someone who was very cheerful and cute"
This is past tense, which implies that Fran is dead?

It's either that or this is a flashback to them as kids and the whole past tense thing is literally just the book they're reading.
