Tsuruko Returns the Favor - Ch. 39 - FINAL FAVOR GOODBYE, PRINCE!

[Lyanhyrt]

This was a good final chapter. It didn't need a forbidden romance, but with the last words there might be a hint at a future possibility that we will never see.

Very good series, I enjoyed it.

 

[brainman]

This is definitely an ending to something that meets all the criteria required to be called a manga.

I forget, but did Tsuruko ever hear about the actual reason Nekokado went to the cafe in the first place? I vaguely remember that his sister mentored Tsuruko, but did she ever actually make that connection? Or was that entire main plot point forgotten so hard, we left that loose end just dangling in the wind?

 

[brndndss]

for as frustrating as this series got at times, that was a fine ending and it even stayed true to itself, ending with neko-san misunderstanding and freaking out so long fairyland!

 

[AlterArsene]

Really enjoyed the series. Tsuchan was extremely dorkable and cute. It's very bittersweet that it ended but I love it all the same.

An ending to one of the mangas of all time.

 

[ActuallyArma]

Although it's a business as usual ending it fits it quite well. I'm glad that there weren't any shoehorned sudden twists tossed in at the very last second.

I forget, but did Tsuruko ever hear about the actual reason Nekokado went to the cafe in the first place?

I don't believe so. I'd double check but only the first and last 6 chapters are freely available

Neko was helped with her sister trauma so it ends good

 

[CommanderWeeaboo]

Honestly, a near underwhelming end to what was a cute but messy story. This feels like the author just never had a plan for the ending.

mid ending
it's good enough i guess

 

[rafimaulana]

Where is the romance?

 

[Joyconboyz]

It was a good ending, wasn't great but good. I do wish they would've continued the story.

 

[kuma]

it was fun series but the misunderstanding and pacing get pretty frustrating. 7/10

 

[Saybah]

It was nice but the ending also feels like it lacked a punch to it. Still for a slice of life series it does fit. Shame it ended so quick but I enjoyed the series.

 

[Kyoumades]

That first page cleary said "romcom". I feel lied to

 

[deathmailrock]

I feel that this was a bad ending... it feels like there was too little progress....

I know 39 chapters is a good run.... but this feels bad because at 39 chapters, there was too little progress...

 

[fight2live]

welp, this series could've been a bit longer. but i feel like it was a decent run overall

 

[Amogh24]

The story was decent, but i never figured what the plot was actually supposed to be about. The thing with his sister was rather sidelined, and the other characters were just kinda there.

 

[Draggador]

Not sure whether the ending was pre-planned or rushed but the fact that it's difficult to tell also means that it ended well enough. I would've wanted more but it's good enough. I can't wait for the mangaka to return with another series. It was a fun ride.

 

[BlackwingYu]

It's not like I mind a proper story about coming to terms with your family's death and learning through the act of education, but the presentation, humor and artstyle are totally at odds with this concept
