What?
Just like that?
this chapter felt like 10 chapters wrapped together in 28 pages, This shit is ASS. It feels like there was no conclusion to other characters other than Ruby, Akane suddenly becomes the narrator in last 3 chapters, Kana just fades away, Mem-cho is just still there, I guess? Dude, this is NOT how you should end a story. The entire story feels like a nothing burger at this point. Aka tried to provide a conclusion to everyone but failed to provide an actual ending to anyone.

Started off with a howl, ended off with a whimper, that's Oshi no Ko for you.

Yeah that's it. I'm done. All my hate that accumulated over the last few chapters has fizzled out now that it's actually finally over. Not even disappointed. I just don't care anymore.

I heard he already has a new upcoming series. Good for you Aka. Not gonna read it though, for my own sake.

Never touching anything written by Akasaka ever again. Definitely. Most certainly. Not a loss to him, not a loss to me. All good.

I want to say I regret ever starting this series but… for what it's worth, I love Oshi no Ko.
Thank you for creating the character that is Ai Hoshino. That's at least something I'm thankful for 🙂.

Astounding. Everyone left is traumatized, Tsukuyomi's only purpose was monologuing to herself, and not only did Aqua regret his decision, they made plushies of him after he died. That being said, I followed this manga week to week for 166 chapters and I'll miss it.

Last one time - shit's so ass
Please Aka, don't ever create anything again. You have no idea how to end your stories.
"Loses sensei once, becomes an emotional wreck, loses sensei a second time, moves on within a calendar year".

Edit: I LOVE how SHUEISHA is deleting comments in english section, that weren't positive or neutral about ending. Even the slightest negative feedback resulted in the comment being deleted - and in the first few minutes, several such comments (not vulgar) appeared and had 300+ likes. Comments like "this is not a bad end you drama queens" are even funnier when all the comments they were referring to have been deleted

It's over... I feel sorry for Goro/Aqua but it's there as an ending.
Let everyone else find their own way to get up and get by...just like Ruby is doing, one lie after another....

 

[ojkjertoijdflk]

people weren't joking when some said it was an ass ending.

what was even the point of crow girl if she didn't do anything in the end?

 

[mccreepy]

man why's this guy even a mangaka if all he does it give up on series half way through and half ass it for the rest of the story just to give them shit endings like this. This entire chapter was pointless as FUCK

 

[Airzpool]

It ended as one of the best manga I ever read, but that's why I feel more disappointed with the ending with Aqua. The MC does everything he can do to die like that... I feel sad with that.

It's not that I hate the ending, but I wish it had a happier ending for our Aqua. I just hope the anime will have a different ending or maybe a much more good ending.

Lastly, thank you to the artist and the author for making this manga. Thanks to all the translators for all your hard work in translating this manga. Lastly, thank you to all the people who helped with this manga. Thank you. May the next journey for all characters will be smooth.

What the hell??? This…it’s over…? How did it go from so incredibly peak to this?

 

[Asheron]

Just in time for Christmas!

 

[Faint15]

Absolute trash.

 

[RooneyRoo]

All these people saying its "ass" or "bad" because they can't cope with it lmao.

 

[equationx]

i've seen a lot of people complaining about last chapter, but i still think last chapter are legit good

this chapter which are the ending though, it's an ending that doesn't give any closure at all despite being called ending other than Ruby ended up being a fucking bonafide good liar as entertainer just like her mother

WHAT. THE. FUCK. Aka

 

[brainman]

Dude introduced a god and the concept of reincarnation only to do fuck all with it.
In fact, you could probably remove those components and the story would barely change.

 

[Koshin_127]

So Ruby ended up taking the same path as Ai in the end huh
WHAT TF was that with Ruby being pure and innocent if this is how it was gonna end, like they saying something in previous chapters just to prove the opposite in the next!!!

 

[SuperOniichan]

So, it wasn’t enough for him to give Aqua the most dubious and most cruel end of all possible, now Ruby has actually become Ai number two and is also forced to forcefully feign joy and happiness while hiding the pain? Thanks to the brother who cut himself out of her life for 5-10 idol years (Aqua had such a low opinion of his sister, thinking that a short term idol career was more important and valuable to her than the life of her sibling and closest person?)?
So we just ignored the entire manga in favor of returning to the status quo of Aqua/Goro once again brutally dying alone and suffering for the sake of others and Serina/Ruby once again feigning happiness while being broken inside? And that's not even to mention that the work, which began with a scandal over the discussion of suicide, ended with the portrayal of suicide as an important self-sacrifice (not to mention the fact that the entire ending is essentially a mirror copy of the ending of the delusional live action Bokumachi movie for some strange reason).

I just don't understand. If the promised special chapter doesn't change anything, this manga and everything related to it will simply lose me. I don't even know how I can continue to follow anime or listen to Yoasobi after this.
