| Lame if true, I wanted a Yoshino x Hakaze end. |
| A great ending for a great series! And yes, Aika was quite the joker right to the end. LOL (keyboard clean-up time for the boys...) And a neat closure with the girl mentioned right at the beginning. BTW - the raws are online at Sen Manga: http://raw.senmanga.com/Zetsuen_no_Tempest/44/ Whoever did the scanning left in nearly 40 pages of colour ads before the manga actually starts...and most of those ads have nothing to do with ZnoT. I'll get my hardcopy in a day or two and then I will re-read it at my leisure. (I hate being pestered by pop-ups and other garbage on scan-sites, but I put up with them in this case for once...) |

| Damn Yoshino, he started as a cool character, but got quite gay towards the end. Why can't he date Hakaze... On the other hand, Mahiro scared of Yoshino stealing his girlfriend, quite funny. |
 |
| Reading the last few pages again, a couple of things stand out to me. First and foremost on the second to last page where the author wrote: “Hajimari wa owari, owari wa hajimari.” ... “The beginning is ending, the ending is beginning” That's a very positive statement – I interpret it as meaning that everyone has a new beginning now. And equally importantly, on the final page, all six are walking away as couples, includint Yoshino and Hakaze. So my interpretation is that Yoshino is being his usual non-commital self and hasn't truly rejected Hakaze, otherwise he would have gone his own way. |
| Just to make it clear, I read the last chapter and it ends with a light-hearted banter between Yoshino and Hakaze. Yoshino doesn't reject her, but he doesn't accept her either. In the last two pages it is written and I translate: "The/a beginning is an ending, an ending is a beginning. So let's begin anew. To each their own tale (meaning that each will create their own stories)." The last pages do show that all of them together in 3 pairs though, so thinking that Yoshino will end up with Hakaze is entirely acceptable. |
| Great ending the only thing the anime did btter was yoshino not friendzoning hakaze.also there's a special chapter after 44 about mahiro's girlfriend |

tomtomr92 said: I prefer this end more then the anime because you get to see Mahiro’s girlfriend and that they all end up hanging out together at the end. To be honest, I couldn't care less for Mahiro, I only wanted to see Hakaze x Yoshino, but didn't happen so far (It may happen in the specials). Also, I kind of hate the change in Yoshino, he was bit cooler and insteresting at the begining, but at the end he became a pussy. I feel like the mangaka felt sorry mahiro and try to make him quite a important figure towards the end of the series. |

| Does anyone know where to find translations past ch 28? |
TheKidUzumaki said: The last chapter implies they end up together. AND the SPECIALS (last one) they indeed are together. Anime basically showed the kissing/hugging scene right before it blacks out lol People really need to look at tone. The mangaka never really gave me a vibe that he was going to let Yoshino not be able to move on with a new love. Aika wouldn't have wanted that which is clear from her goodbye message. |

| Haha, Aika's final message was kinda funny for the last part. What a troll to the very end. Eh I wish this series had a regular release schedule as I have some vague memories about it. Ending was okay I guess but I felt slightly underwhelmed. So the main characters have partners now while Aika is no longer in the world. Well, I'm not surprised? 7/10. |

| :/ Gawd it's finally over!!! The plot was too complex to remember so it didn't leave a good after taste when I finished it. |

| This manga started slow but interesting. Then it got incredible - magic was cool, yes, but it was every single character being in it for their own reasons that made the whole "first ending" so suspenseful. Mahiro in particular was able of being a hero or a villain, sometimes at the same time, making the whole thing way more unpredictable, especially when he was literally holding the means to finishing either of the two conflicted sides. The mystery was also engaging, mostly because of how much impact it had on the the main characters and thus - on the story. But then the manga ended and... didn't realize it. I don't want to say the second part was "unnecessary" - we still had plenty of unexplained, like Aika's death or the rumored second Magician - but the way they handled it I could not enjoy. Incredibly slow. Filled with overly dramatic and philosophical speeches. Lots of sitting around. Introducing the Magician of Exodus as a new random character when we were all hoping for a twist on one of the already existing ones. Everything got washed down - in the first part, Hakaze was heavily implied (and eventually proven) to be incredibly powerful and wise, even when technically stripped of all her magic. You felt she was not to be trifled with and could win any battle. In the second part the most she did (after volumes of absolutely nothing) was travel back to the past to watch what happened. Also flew around some ships in the big climax. In the first part the Magician of Exodus was heavily implied to be a huge threat, an evil counterpart to the powerful Hakaze - and we all wanted to see one of the characters we'd already known to be revealed as that dangerous person, which would add to the stakes, as our villain would have the trust of our heroes. But nope, we instead got a wimpy boy who doesn't know anything about anything and is on the heroes side. Sure, Aika turned out to have been the Magician previously, but that still didn't give us what that role was implied to be - a powerful, dangerous, deceitful villain. And that's probably the biggest fault of the second part. It lacked conflict. The first part did have fighting "supernatural trees with powers", but we also had actual characters as villains. We had sides, we had battles, we had contradicting motives. In the second part we have literally everybody, even the villains from the first part, on the same side and they're fighting something akin to a "supernatural phenomenon" with their incredible abilities limited by public opinion and possibly tragic consequences of... doing things. Yeah, that's what it amounted to - we have all these amazing heroes, villains, wild cards from the first part of the story and they're together this time, united against a common enemy power, this should be sweet! So what they do is say: "we can't do anything or innocent people might die" and sit around talking. Yes, that is a very legit and very real problem - but for crying out loud, that doesn't make for an interesting story! Make them use their magic in different ways - if they can't fight the trees, have them investigate the trees, maybe talk to the trees' senders - we literally have aliens in this series and nothing is done with them! Also, for something that is the very core of the story, the trees are not very well-explained. I can't remember what they were remotely about - and whether they did explain it or not doesn't even matter, because even if they did... those are trees! Of course I forgot that stuff, I'm not gonna get invested into the complex motivations of freakin' trees! Especially trees that seem to have no consciousness and the most they do is kill people when provoked. Why did we need to get rid of them again? Our villains are literally doing nothing, I do not care! In the first part the trees were kind of doomsday devices, sources of incredible power the villains - actual, proper villains - used for their own purposes. In the second part I don't even know why they're still around - the interesting parts remaining were solving Aika's murder and a promise of a new human villain (and the killer) in the Magician of Exodus. Neither one happened, but at least we got plenty of them tree talks. I'm so disappointed in what this series turned into by the end. |
