| Just finished reading it.... I really FUCKING LOVED this manga. It has a lot of imperfections and problems, but has so many good ideas and try to experiment so much new things that it all gives it a unique taste. It may be far from being the best manga in technichal terms I've ever read in my life, but the experience of reading it was certainly one of the best I've had. One of my favorites now. A fascinating social commentary. As for the ending, nobody knows what actually happened to the serialization. If it was axed, or if Egawa simply didn't know where to lead the maga anymore (the social commentary part became so much bigger and meaningful than the story itself and, IMO, it's actually the reason why Golden Boy even exists). The last pages with Kintaro Shouting "WHO INTERRUPTED ME!?!? I WANT TO SEE MORE!" may lead us to think it probably was axed prematurely, but I think Egawa managed it in a very impressive way. In the end, Golden Boy works way better as a social study than a storytelling piece of art, and I'm not being ironic here, I really think this is it. This is a really strange and unique manga and I really loved the experience it let me feel, so much questioning, debate... very few things in any form of art made me feel like doing it. I wish more people would give it at least a try. I've learned something new. |
| I waited for months for last 10 chapters, and now that I've read them, I'm not sure what happened lol Maybe I forgot the story before the end, or the end was meant to be weird/mind-fuck. Oh well, at least i finished it, I'll try to figure out the ending some other day, going to sleep now... oh, and thanks Obama. |
| What the fuck? That wasn't even an ending....they just threw a shallow ass narration in place of a proper conclusion. Nothing resolve, plot still in progress, and the entire story still needs closure. It got real shaky during the middle when the story wasn't even about Kintarou any longer. After his return it got interesting again with the flashback/virtual reality thing they were trying to pull but suddenly it ends? Seriously never been trolled to hard. I'll have the Anime to remember but damn the manga veered off track and into a blackhole. |
| Just finished reading this. Honestly i cant express how much i love this manga,maybe me being not a native english speaker has something to do with this. I think it was much ahead of its time . To learn to love yourself then be bogged down compromising your freedom and happiness in this depressed world ,only to learn your fallacy in the old age ,and its just one study .... The author has unique approach at the subjects at hand with how he unravels the vices ... I think the ending is deliberate although i would have liked to witness the progression of how Kongoji developed his fear for Kintaro .But a conclusion would mean Yoko's decision being shown would fit all the remaining pieces in their places and would give a definitive tone to the manga which i think the mangaka doesnt intend and want us to be the "99%" being led as said by Kongoji but have own own individual perspective from the journey of Kintaro.... Benkhyo....Learnt many things bud... |

| I come to know about the ending But after seeing this thread i don't think i will ever read this in my entire life |
 |
| Well that was interesting, I liked how the manga mixed being ridiculous with some walls of text haha. It was indeed axed apparently: https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/GOLDEN_BOY The author drew what seems like a spin-off, ONE ZERO NINE, later, and a direct sequel eventually. |
