According to Weekly Shonen Magazine vol.19, manga "Air Gear" will end in Chapter 357.

Note: The announcement says the series will end in five chapters. The final chapter can be 356 if they included chapter 352 in the five chapters.

Hmm, just when I was wondering if I should read it or not. I might go for it then.

The Anime turned me down but the OVA were quite cool.

But, isn't the third OVA already out? (as in june 17th of 2011) Or is it something else? Or a fourth one?

Really? Interesting. I read the first couple hundred chapters before I put it on hold because the plot was all over the place at the time. It looks like it just might be time to start reading again.

It's the final battle after all, though I hardly know what's going on due to the clusterfuck that is OG's writing and art. It's all over the place ever since the start of the tournament.
Oh well.

I have to say, I watched the anime before reading the manga, and this is one of the few series where I have to say the Anime counterpart is better than the Manga, mostly for the fact that the Anime ends in a good place.

Only longer manga series where I'm not happy about it ending (not that I actually read shit like Bleach). But I only read the official English Del Rey/Kodansha USA releases so I've still got a while to go. And it had to happen, since Air Gear actually has a progressing story unlike other long series, even if Oh!Great seems to completely forget about some storylines.

I also hope for a complete anime adaption, although I didn't watch the first one. And I'm looking forward to Oh!Great's next work.

Wow, I've been following the manga for coming up on four years now, it feels strange to hear that it's finally ending. Though I am a little happy about that myself. It's about damn time. Now to see what Oh! Great can pack into these last five-six chapters.

Lol glad it will end soon. It pains me to see a great manga keep degrading chapter by chapter. It start out great, but after the whole "One can own a few roads/regalias" and the "implanted regalia into one's body" stuff, it became so damn ridiculous. Though I agree that the ovas were awesome, wish I could watch Kazu vs Nike animated version!

For those who is up to date with the manga, could you please spoil me with some answer to my questions?

THANKS IN ADVANCE!

damn, that leaves me only about 60 chapters behind.

I wonder how many more personalities they were able to shove into Agito within the last volumes lol

Sure Air Gear's storyline has become more ridiculous than I was expecting. However, its unique energy combined with its detailed artwork makes it a really fun read.

If only they could get the same director to do a 2nd anime season, id be happy. And of course it would also need some Skankfunk :]

Pretty accurate assessment. However, it's not really that the plot is inherently terrible.

A lot of what makes me laugh at Air Gear is how when the mangaka is trying to make some deep point about "riding the wind" and the different "roads" and their significances it sounds like some glorified surfer movie where everyone is obsessed with catching that "killer wave" in their own way.

That being said, I love Air Gear and prefer Ikki's personality to Naruto's and Ichigo's.

Also, if you're at all offended by nudity, you're gonna have a rough time with Air Gear. It's got a metric shit ton of it.

All I can say is:

LOL

It's about time it ended. It's a shame that Oh! Great completely lost control of the story, seeing the Gram Scale Tournament would have actually benefited Air Gear rather than all this Gravity Children/Brain charger/Regalia/Trophaeum Tower nonsense. He seems to be obsessed with making Air Gear seem bigger than it actually is which is really annoying because it comes off as stupidly pretentious rather than anything significant.

I desire money. Not because I am poor or because I am greedy. It is because with money I will gain power and with that power I will be able to change the world.
