| God this ending is awful in so many ways. I was enjoying this series so much and they had to ruin it with such horrible ending. |
| Wow. So was the Priest actually the one behind it all? So, Erika was taking orders from him? I doubt things like this are coincidences, but god. Anyways, it was pretty sad. I hope they don't inevitably end up going after Itsuki or Makihara. Good series. Enjoyed it to the end. 9/10. RIP Shiki & Kuzumi ;__; |
| I knew I would hate this manga at the end after I started to read this and I did. I loved the start, and within a few chapters and the consequence they had to face after their crimes I knew by the end this would all add up and end up bad. I liked reading it, but again did not feel content with the end. It felt like the whole time I watch watching a episode of a detective show where the Main character in the manga really just guest stars that appear for 1 episode and by the end some one is dead someone connected to them finds peace after what happened. And the Detectives move on to the next chase next episode. this will not get a good rating from me> |
| Basically, the bad guys win. The priest at the church is one of the bad guys, possibly even the mastermind (seen from donuts at the very, very end! So thats how they manage to get information on how to conduct hits. Listen to confessions!), and Shiki practically donated all the money he earned back to the church after he died, back to where he got the money from in other words. Makihara ends up in jail, Itsuki is the only one among the gang with a slightly better ending, although she will certainly be depressed since Shiki died. Hosaka ended pretty well too, since he got to spend quality time with his wife... RIP Shiki and Kuzumi, you two were awesome. It was a really good read, I appreciate that the author really pulled off something different at the end although the bad guys won. There are no loose ends if you just think that the bad guys won. A solid 7/10 for this one. It started off really well, got slightly bland later but certainly made up with it for that twist at the very end. |

| Disappointed with that ending. M Night Shyamalananananana could have done a better job. |
I'm also filled with pure-hearted ulterior motives. |
| I had known it wouldn't end in happy ending after reading for some time, but I feel like it could have been executed better. And Utako was annoying. I hoped her issues would be solved in the end, and there was no hope left after she killed Shiki. Ah, and Kuzumi's background wasn't explored either. Kinda disappointed about them. I'm just glad Itsuki & Shiki's sister are alive. 8/10 |
 |
| aw. just aw. i guess it had to be an ending like this after the past few chapters, dangit. nevertheless, i still enjoyed this manga a lot. 9/10 a shikixitsuki ending woulda been nice. |
 |
| i feel bitter really bitter, i was hoping for another ending TT^TT |
 |
| Ah, I knew it. The priest was in involved with the missions after all. It's sad to think about, but the money Shiki entrusted Hosaka with will probably never go towards his sister's treatment. The truth of the matter is that Shiki basically repaid the church what he earned through the missions. In other words, the cycle will go on. Those same funds will be used in the future to pay those who undergo the same types of missions. Great manga, I loved it from start to finish. |
 |
| I really hate the ending. And there is also one major loose end not tied up neatly. If the priest was the mastermind of the assassination group after all, then what happens to the money Shiki donated?!? That was supposed to pay for his sister's future treatments, right? But if the priest was the evil mastermind, can we trust him to actually hand the money over to the hospital? I think as far as vigilante stories go, this is a really sucky one. Why did Shiki and his Kuzumi have to die? Why not have them pull off one last job and then retire gracefully from the scene? Makihara could maybe change his looks and identity and start a new life. I mean, by that point in time, they already amassed millions of yen. Should be enough for fake IDs and cosmetic surgery AND still with enough left over for treatments. Also, another loose end with Makihara. He's in prison at the end so the evil priest probably couldn't send hitmen after him. But what happens when Makihara is released? Are they going to continue to go after him? Tie up the loose ends, man. My advice to all Japanese mangaka who wish to write vigilante stories is to read all the Jack Reacher novels out there. Author is Lee Child. Now that's a bestselling author who knows his vigilantes. :) |
| To those of you who felt bad at the terrible ending, go check out Dendrobates. It is also a manga with a vigilante theme. But with a much better ending. Much better. |
| I was expecting a tragic ending but happy ending is still better. Makihara is fvcking lucky, he can still live happily. The girl with one-eye is a bitch, I want her dead! Itsuki and Shiki should have at least kiss before parting. Kozumi is a real bro, but the author didn't give him some backstory. (Or I just forgot? ) decent crime/thriller, but the ending was unsatisfying. 6/10 |
| hate that eye-patch girl. want to know what happened to her. wish she could die...diediediedieideidiediediediediediedieideideideidie..... TheHeart said: God this ending is awful in so many ways. I was enjoying this series so much and they had to ruin it with such horrible ending. seriously, guys. not every story is a fairy tail. if you want happy endings, go watch disney movies. this manga is serious and realistic; it showed that the good guys don't always win. That's why this manga is a masterpiece. 10/10 |
| I really enjoyed this manga but the ending wasn't that good, I knew that Shiki and kuzumi would die but I wanted at least Erika to get captured. |
| Too much to say about this manga, which just so happens to also be the main problem since the beginning. Simply put, the author tried to do too much and failed to execute. - Three Goddesses allusions, but the idea never really materializes throughout in the manga. - Itsuka's power. Interesting at the start, but author never did anything more. - Kuzumi's background is never explored. - Eye-patch girl is never explained either. - Itsuki's romance is explored but not even close to happening. I'm sure a lot of others have much more to add to this, but I'll leave it at this. It's unfortunate because this manga had so much potential, but the execution leaves a lot to be desired. |
| The damn donuts.... |
| There is certainly a feeling of unused potential in this manga. Plot lines and characters are introduced and some of them are never picked up again. A certain case of mystery fills the air - The origins and functions of the heroine's powers are never explained nor relevant. Does it really matter if she had the powers in the first place? Who was right in the end? The allegedly hitmen trying to earn money for their own reasons (may they be good or bad) or the police in trying to solve these apparently unconnected almost random cases? Neither. Even if you try to defeat the criminal - Another will take his place. Sometimes, the criminals never appear as evil. They won all along. Poor Kuzumi. |
| I think that the mastermind is that Priest? |
| Those donuts at the end, does that mean the priest was the mastermind all along? I just hope Shiki's sister got all the money Shiki donated. Now what I didn't like about the ending was that both the black-haired woman and the mastermind got away scot-free...! Edit: Oh, and one more thing I didn't like about the ending - Itsuki didn't get to have Shiki's baby |

| lol I didn't even catch that is what the donuts meant. But I am upset my man Kuzumi died for nothin'! |
| Even when I was in crowd, I was always alone |
| Not the perfect ending, but a very good one nonetheless. MC finished what he set out to do, and suffered the consequences of his actions. It's not the ending we want, but the ending it deserved. |
| I thought the ending was a bit abrupt but reading the theories here, it makes sense that the Priest is involved in this. Although the exact specifics of how a Priest in a mostly atheist/irreligious country like Japan would receive confessions from such a wide range of individuals is better left to imagination. Nevertheless, a pretty solid series, held back by plot points that go no where and loss of direction after the first few murders. |
