----------------------------------------
rought scanlation is up in /a/ but it was soo badly translated.

still, it pains me had to see the series has to end this.

this little girl resolve will never come to fruit. kuroyama stuff will never explained. yonagi father, her future acchivement. FUCK

the last page of this manga



the more i talk about this, the more sad i will be. so i'll skip to final judgement.

still rate in 10/10 to the end. BUT FUCK YOU MATSUKI, FUCK YOU.

hope usazaki get better chance. will definitely read her next works.

The chapter itself was boring for a regular chapter, like how I found many of the Act-Age chapters to be excluding the Galactic Railroad and Double Cast portions. But it has a more bitter taste to it considering this is the final chapter we are getting of this series.

4/10 manga for me. Would have been a strong 5 to maybe a 6 if it had kept ongoing, and could have even been higher as I would have got to see more plays and proper acting, but alas, the story's incomplete and it ended pretty much with a boring stretch for me for months.

Insane to think this manga was just a regular Jump manga last week, and days later, it's cancelled with the writer in prison for sexual assault. Insane how unpredictable the world can be. Hope the artist and the victims manage to do well and get better from this incident.

Sigh this amazing manga ends after such a horrible incident.

So just gonna say this manga was one of the most unique thing I've ever read and this had the potential to become one of the greatest manga of all time. Sadly we won't get to see that happen and Yonagi's journey ends in the middle of nowhere. This last arc was getting really interesting too. Now I won't ever get to see Ren Tamaki act, sigh.

The manga itself imo is pretty good, in fact, one of the best arcs I've seen recently. This chapter in itself is an obvious axe which is a fucking shame.

I just pray that the illustrator of this manga finds new work for their career. 7/10 but probably much higher if shit didn't happen recently.

So much potential to be one of the greatest shot down by the piece-of-trash-IRL author making a choice to take the low road in life. As if 2020 bullshit can’t get any worse.

I’m still personally besides myself. I would’ve desired so much to see how that arc would properly conclude, as well as the entirety of the story, but I guess we’re only left up to our own imaginations or fanfics.

Hope Usazaki finds another opportunity to shine again real soon, this has got to be really hard on her.

It makes me cry thinking about the fact that we'll never get to see the rest of Yonagi's journey and the director's movie ever

9/10 to one of the best and unique manga to come out of jump! It could've easily have been a 10 if it was completed, but alas that won't ever happen due to a moron

I hope that Usazaki will be back soon with a hit manga! I'll be reading whatever she puts out

I wonder if I should still buy the 2 English volumes? I don't want to support Matsuki in anyway but I want to own one this and because of Usazaki

Farewell Act-Age

here is little knowledge might help you decide.

license is paid upfront, so if you buy the current release, there is nothing given to license owner. license owner paid when the edition got printed in bulk. however, there will be NO new reprint edition because they didn't want to look like they support matsuki as you said. what currently available in the market is what's left and there will be no more. act age volume now become collectible items that the price can only increase. if you want to buy the volume, the faster the better.

@FireFistYK

It seems that all volumes from 2 and up are cancelled and vol. 1 isn't available in shops partnered with VIZ.

Last week I would never have imagined I'd be reading the final chapter of this so soon, let alone the reason why. It was a fantastic series while it lasted, but fuck the author for being a massive piece of shit. I can at least look forward to what Usazaki will do next.

Never read it, probably never will because of the ending. But man, what a massive waste. Definitely the biggest fuck-up the author has made in his life. Wasted so much potential for some temporary boner. So disappointing.

Ah, still sad how it ends jack in the middle like this. I've said this but let met say it again: what the author did didn't just attack the victims, but he also betrayed all the fans who loved the manga he wrote so much. And not to mention betraying the illustrator too.

Now this manga will never end. We'll never know a lot of things. Like how the Taiga Drama ended, what happened between Tamaki and Kuroyama, what'll come out of Satsuki's efforts, Kuroyama's movie, Yuki's ambition, Yonagi's father. All of it. Never. It's such a shame, but it had to be done.

This really could've been one of the best manga of all time for me to be honest. I hope the author can become a better person after reflecting on what he did, and I sincerely hope the illustrator can find work in yet another amazing manga.

Forever disappointed with how this manga ended and the mangaka's actions.

I do separate the work from the worker, and this manga is my favorite of all time, so it just sucks to see such a story left to collect dust.

Satsuki's dream will never come true it seems.
