It ended abruptly most likely bc of the publisher but I really enjoyed this.

Jun’s life is messed up! Poor kiddo.

i read shibito no koe wo kiku ga yoi back when it was first being published here and i just got done with my rereading and i honestly don't really get why people are so frustrated with the ending. surely, uguisu probably had to quickly wrap it up after being told this would be the last volume so it was a bit rushed in some aspects, but other than that the ending was pretty fitting to the series.
jun let go of his guilt and regret over hayakawa's death and move on with his grief, and that was the focal point of the entire manga. sure, it was an episodic horror anthology, but the narrative thread woven throughout the chapters wasn't about psychic powers or ancient gods, it was about the relationship between jun and hayakawa.
it can be a bit frustrating that we will never truly know what happened after they entered the fog, the death snakes disappeared but it may just be that they were done feeding on their auras as they would die just then. jun got to develop his powers by leaps and bounds through all the troubles he went through and the connections he made were also proven to be useful in his attempt at avoiding an apocalypse as much as he could. even so, ghost was pretty much done with her preparations and the sea god's awakening might be inevitable at this point.
also, that might be a personal bias talking, but this isn't a battle shounen series. seeing jun fight the sea god or something of the sorts would be very tonally dissonant. i don't think there really was a way to go beyond what we were shown without falling flat

yeah, I just finished a re-read, I had originally thought that the series was just unfinished but this is about right for the series. certainly not the most satisfying ending, but on-brand with the series

there were already plenty of open-ended storylines and this level of catastrophe isn't something that can be neatly tied up no matter what happens. ultimately the story was about jun and hayakawa, so once that was resolved there wasn't a lot left

that said, the connection between ghost and jun definitely could have used more resolution, so I don't know how much of that was editorial and how much was authorial intent

considering how many other near-cataclysms were avoided at the last second throughout the series, the lack of ending might be implying that it actually happened this time...but on the other hand, the prez was still alive as far as we know, so humanity still has a chance to survive with her around. not even cthulu has a chance against her

Wow I enjoyed that waaay more than expected, not the biggest fan of the ending but I didn't expect much else. There wasn't very much overarching plot anyway. But still this is a gem

Good ending, well, could be better tho. At least I want to see the aftermatch, or the final fight.
It really could be better.

This is a re-read tho, so I have expectation. I remember the first read, I didn't like this ending too.
