JudgeRuthless said: So it finally ended. However i am wondering what was the point of Ema losing her memories. They got reunited, it doesn't matter much if she lots her memories or not. It's an absolutely unnecessary plot twist right after the story ends. The manga should have ended chapter 180. How come that losing your memory will not matter much? It is the same as not reuniting with them. |
| Should have ended after the first arc. They just went and made a great story into trash. |
 |
| FINALLY. What an absolutely generic ending that was. I haven't seen that many ass-pulls in a while, too. And two years? Really? I hate it that this manga used to be my absolute favorite. It had so much potential but was mercilessly slaughtered in the end. rip. |

| Had fun reading this over the years. Sure it went downhill at somepoint but still the unique concept was good enough for me. Glad to see them together at the end. |
 |
| Can't hate the manga really.. binged through it within 2 days but the ending felt really rushed.. how every info and plot twist was conveniently placed in the favour of the Emma's gang of children when others did the research beforehand and guided them.. also how villains just suddenly have a change of heart when Emma talked to them.. I loved the world building and the art is simply superb.. it did convert from a psychological manga to an adventure-shounen one at some point. The ending made me cry so I am okay.. still they could have made the ending not riddled with so many unanswered questions about the human world or should have made the time gap of reunion a bit larger... was entertaining so this will get a good score and recommendation from me.. I wish the authors to do more amazing projects in the future.. |

| Disappointing end to a potentially great manga It has a really strong start. I really liked 1st half, especially the beginning. But it gone downhill from there. The story and the mystery weren't as engaging as I'd hope to, it feels like the author just don't give much thought toward the details. The details and psychological are what makes the first arc great. Still, a pretty enjoyable read 6/10 |
| Wow-what a read, definitely had it's high and low points. the first arc was amazing, the second one pretty good too. Wasn't overly impressed by the final arc and "big battle". The ending was bittersweet. I do wish the series was able to uphold the quality and writing of the first arc, could have been incredible. Still glad I was able to follow this story, I wonder how the children will adjust into normal society. Well done to Kaiu Shirai, I hope to see and read more of his work! |
| What a cop out. Screw destiny and amnesia. Also oof about shipping. Norman x Aishe FTW or something lol. (Guess the author had run out of ideas. Better than making the story continue forever then have no ending like Berserk.) Kinda wish there was one more chapter about them enjoying their life in the human world which although it was easy/not well-explained for humanity made for an interesting setting. No borders. And if Emma has dreams about her family from the demon world it's silly for her to be as freaked out as she is when she meets them. Dreams shouldn't be generalized to reality that much, but she's practiced socializing in her dreams for starters. (Actually I'll give this manga a 9 because the translators did a pretty good job and there was some suspense so I didn't get that bored reading it.) Ray hasn't gotten to say much of anything for the past ten or twenty chapters. Komi-san, are you Ray? My fave arc was maybe Goldy Pond. Intercepting Norman's plan vs the demons was ok... Which just reminds me this is one of my least favorite manga endings. (The first arc is also one of the better ones.) Rushed ending... And one of the TL I was reading didn't have all the pages, but having it stop at Emma acting shocked was almost ok vs Norman's monologue lol. What even. 9/10 for the good chapters of the manga, 8/10 max for this ending. Musica said thanks one more time in case the audience forgot. Shrug. |

| First arc is the only thing that's worthy, the rest just simply trash. 3/10 for this amazing-turn-to-bullshit manga. |

| last chapter is a little bullshit ngl, the last fight against the demons was godlike in my opinion, a really good end to the arc and almost to the story, but I personally would have liked it more if Emma really died or even stayed in the monster's world. The last chapters feel rushed and I would've loved some more chapters about how the childrens are doing it in the human world, we also don't know shit about the mothers. And as everyone is saying, the last chapter is worthles because the monster didn't win anything, emma forgot them but still reunited with them, and kinda remember them I guess? Horrendous las chapter. |

| Its very good ending to the tbh, it is rushed and the quality dropped but not in BS levels. So overall the ending is good to me. |
 |
| Never thought that the ending would be so disappointing. |
   I want you to be happy. I want you to laugh a lot. I don’t know what exactly I’ll be able to do for you, but I’ll always be by your side. |
| Don't you love it when Norman and co. randomly run into Emma in such a vast world? Finding her through advertisements in news or posters would make some sense but finding her personally doesn't. I had a feeling that the story has gone off the rails when they introduced the "demon god whose name can't be pronounced" into the story. This character is apparently omniscient and omnipotent without any reasoning in how it came to exist. The whole thing about Musica and her blood existed so that Emma and the others can take the easy way out. The worst part of the story is how they re-introduced Lewis to resolve every problem faced by main characters. I didn't invest in the series for a long time. Only started reading the manga ever since the anime came out. So thankfully I don't have any attachment with the manga whatsoever. The first 36 chapters only constitute 1/5th of the manga. Rest of it was bad. Can't even give it a 5/10 because the good part was so small. Final score - 4/10. |
| Escape Arc - Easy 10/10 Everything after that - 4/10 I have never seen a manga decline this much in quality. 6/10 |
| "Life is too bitter, so coffee, at least should be sweet..." - Hikigaya Hachiman (Yahari Ore no Seishun Love Come wa Machigatte Iru) |
| The ending was good. Not too happy and not too sad. I was expecting that much more children would be killed, but still -the manga was enjoyable. It's kinda upsetting that Ray didn't get much more attention here and at the end be like sidekick. |
| This along with fma brotherhood is one of the most perfect series I’ve ever read. Just binge read the entire series over the past few days and I loved it. I don’t really get why ppl say the ending was rushed bc it did not feel that way at all, esp compared to most other anime series, the whole series just got better as it went on and went back full circle in the end. Every loose end was tied up satisfactorily and the ending was beautiful. God-tier manga, might buy the complete series when all the volumes get released in english. |
| I truly loved this series once upon a time. It was a close to 10 for me. The later chapters esp the ending really took nose dive for me. Certain characters coming alive, trivial stupid death and too many ass pulls. I do feel like it was rushed and things just don’t feel earned. A shame. I’ll say 7.8/10 for me. It was still an enjoyable series. |
| Down on the West Coast They got a sayin' |
| Yeah pretty bad manga overall. Chapter 180 was kinda nice though. The first arc fooled me into thinking this was gonna be great. 4/10 |
| I felt like I really enjoyed this manga overall because I binged it in about a week. I could understand the frustration felt if I had followed this along week to week like some of the users here. Overall I felt like the story held my attention very well and had great world-building. The ending was open and I do wonder how the demon world fared after Musica took over as Queen. That just allows opportunities for more spin-offs if the author desires. |

| Biggest problem with this manga is the execution. It never fleshed out any plot point after the first arc. IMO nothing about the plot points needed any changes, but all of them could've been so much more. Ray became a husk, nothing about how Norman built up his base was shown, and there is so much more that needed elaboration. 6/10 If it had the same story but had 10+ more volumes, I think it could've been a really solid 7 or an 8. |
| It was as interesting as watching a complete and utter trainwreck. Every chapter I questioned how author is going to fuck things next time and he delivered. It could be a good story and I don't why it was so rushed with such an insane popularity, but at least I had few good laughs over a sheer awfulness of later volumes. |
| It would've made more sense if the kids lost their memories of Emma too. And maybe far in the future, Norman and Ray meet Emma and they become friends again, and slowly realize that they were all from the same world. Maybe using little hints like knowing the same characters from a storybook they'd read in Grace Field, or humming the same lullaby as Mama or something. If TPN didn't rely so much on deus ex machina and time skips, and spent more time world-building or working through the interesting challenges that were presented, I honestly think this manga would've been a masterpiece. At least this ending was more satisfying than Shokugeki no Souma lol. I'm not as angry as other fans. I'll bet it's pretty hard to top off that first act. |
| These faces are so cute that I might just leave them here (#`Д´)´∀`)･ω･) ﾟДﾟ)ﾟ∀ﾟ)･∀･)￣ｰ￣)´_ゝ`) |
| 180 chapters me: fine the final chapter me: waterworks im fine with how it turned out such a good read, thanks Shirai. |
 |
| ugh. so rushed in the last 3/4 of the manga. oh well, could have been something magnificent. we still don't know what phil talked about with andrew when he visited the farm, or what norman told ayshe in demon language when they killed her adoptive father. so many unanswered questions. ughhhhhhh. |

Black_Sheep97 said: Bruh, seeing your other replies in this thread makes me concerned. Bleach and FT were always consistent with what they were doing, heck FT’s ending was typical FT ending, nakama power and all the same bullshit. I would argue that Bleach’s last arc was the same quality as Arrancar arc, it is just that Kubo couldn’t write the ending perfectly. cchigu said: this coming from the fairy tail and bleach fanEscape Arc - Easy 10/10 Everything after that - 4/10 I have never seen a manga decline this much in quality. 6/10 In case of TPN though, not only the whole feeling of mystery went away after the Escape arc but it also started heavily relying on the typical shounen tropes after having avoided them for most part. It was like I was reading a whole different manga. |

Black_Sheep97 said: Hatsuyuki said: cowboy bebop, katanagatari, koe no katachi, ashita no joeWow, unbelievably garbage. Japs can't write endings.... oh wow you proved me wrong by naming some pieces of japanese fiction that make up 0,01% of the total. I never said there weren't any expections btw, but its undeniable that the overwhelming majority of mangas/light novels have terrible endings. |

It's an absolutely unnecessary plot twist right after the story ends. The manga should have ended chapter 180. I’m not sure if there’s a point. I guess so she doesn’t have PTSD, maybe? That— or since her personality previously was trying so hard to break free — this allows her to reset her personality without too many plotholes. I really enjoyed the ending. It made me cry a lot although truthfully every step of this manga seems a bit predictable in retrospect. Still it was executed pretty well. I wish they’d have explained the whole Rartri clan dynamic some more (why are they so neutral above ground?). Also do we assume the demon world recovers without humans? Also did they teleport the c/d/f grade humans? Questions man... but anyways. 10/10. Can’t wait for season 2. I wonder if they’ll try to adopt it all in one go. |
| This manga went from 9 to 4. It started so good and I had my hopes up because all of the hype and recommendations from friends about it. After Goldy Pond arc the only good was Imperial Capital. Some of the characters were left behind forgotten by the author and almost never mentioned again. Some were developed mid way and left there just to appear for non-relevant discussions to the plot. I personally felt it like the author himself was not interested in writing the story himself. Even the main cast was so badly "trashed" it was painful to continue reading. |
| The first part was obviously the highlight but the rest of it wasn't as bad as people made out. I read it in the space of a day though. 7/10 |
| That was a pretty solid manga. Not the most well written but it was enjoyable from start to finish. 7/10. |
