| THIS IS A MANGA ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS ANYTHING BEYOND THIS CHAPTER. ---------------------------------------- So the series has ended. To summarize, Terumi decides that he wants to research the Tales of Genji and follows his aunt's path. The girls that he has encountered along the way are all doing relatively well, and it appears that he has managed to put his trauma of Chuujou behind him. Never got to see him go further with his aunt who left to another university. Not a satisfying conclusion but not terrible either. I do wish that there was a proper resolution with Chuujou though. Oh well. 6/10 |
| It was a pile of crap. The chapters along the whole manga were disappointing, only teasing a great development that never happened. In the end you expect for something to happen and we get that no good for anyone ending. Just a stupid fappeing story who is disappointing even in that |

| I stopped reading this series around chapter 190 because the plot was going nowhere and I was super sad after Yuu's arc. I've been following it from time to time to see how the plot is going and it sure didn't change much. These last chapters and the lack of a proper conclusion sure don't give me motivation to go back to finish it properly, so it will stay as is. Yuu and Kaoruko best girls. |
| I'm confused. Why does MAL have this as having 360 chapters? Are there some bonuses that are not reflected here? |

Farabeuf said: I'm confused. Why does MAL have this as having 360 chapters? Are there some bonuses that are not reflected here? Yeah, there are extras including chapter 385.5 Anyways, I'm pretty underwhelmed by the series' finale. It basically confirms what was easily implied. Kaoruko is best girl imo for the series though. |
 |
| After years of reading this, it finally ended in the most mundane way possible. In the end, Kaoruko is best girl hands down and was since chapter 1. |
| Thanks for your answers @TenRX and @Stark700 And yeah, Kaoroku was always the finest woman on display as well as the main game and final boss. |

| What kind of ending was that???? So disappointed there wasn't a real closure to wrap things up, romantically! For me, Yuu was the best girl and then I also started liking Mutsuge (perverted fortune teller). I felt that Mutsuge had a chance with Terumi, but the author suddenly rushed things and decided to go to the aunt arc right away and end the story. I wished the ending wasn't open-ended or he chose a girl to be with. |

| Well that was kinda a lackluster of an ending. Kinda rushed but not so bad either. |

Thornal said: Wow, you're really secure about your own masculinity, aren't you?TenRX said: I believe many of the readers for this manga need to re-read it like three times, Kaoruoko's goal was to create a modern Genji, she did it. Terumi becomes a man to be loved by males and females. The last chapter is not a proper ending, but indeed is the start of what happens if the old tale were brought in this modern era, now the choice is to read the original work and figure out the characters Genji (Terumi) chooses a girl in the end, it's Too bad that hes no where near the level of actually Genji because none of those girls really want to be on his side in the end of the day.I would like to see how that sissy femboy can get a stable gf by himself without having Kaokuro's guidance around(probably the main reason why she left him since hes now finally free from his mental trauma about woman now),still i feel a bit pity for his decision of following his aunt career considering Terumi not even really into Genjimonogatari as much as Kaokuro and only doing that for the sake of trying to impress her even more.Peak simp move |
| What a trashy manga it is! I can't say I didn't enjoy it at all, though. But the ending surely feels a little rushed. Not a little actually, quite rushed I would say. |
| Hm I started this manga up to around chapter 300 a long time ago, just finished it today, ending obviously was kind of disappointing but it fulfilled its purpose of the story ig however the plot itself wasn’t really interesting. I think most of us continued for the artwork and the interest in sexual desire, my condolences to those who followed the series for 10 years and were incredibly disappointed in the ending tho. Although I didn’t necessarily enjoy the ending of the manga I am kind of bias tho since I don’t particularly like endings for some reason in general, I hope to see more work done by the author since the art is really beautiful though, however through some simple googling it seems like a bit of distant thought since Minamoto-Kun is the only work she/he has done. Anyway that’s my thoughts on the ending |

| My balls are still blue. What a frustrating ending. 5/10 |

| It's not like it's not an interesting manga to have read, but it sure was below expectations. Remember when Minamoto-kun Monogatari was a story where traumas could be overcome in a way that satisfactions and intimate relationships were important? Well, the manga ended that goal, but it certainly didn’t explore many things. Especially when it comes to the development of many girls, the plot was not sustained and disappointed in its entirety, Chuujou was an interesting girl for that, after all, it was a matter of phobia for girls. It seems that the author forgot to humanize things like this and just decided to solve everything in sex ... A pity, because it was a fun story. Not developing any solid romance with Asahi was also a problem. Of course, they are cousins, it is something debatable, but there were 3 moments when they had some legitimate interaction, it could be something more organic to resolve this issue. I think it's another title that I put on the list of "endings that don't develop". |
| I loved this manga until the end but the ending was so bad. It could've been much better. Some of the girls didn't even do anything with Minamoto. I was like oh well, at least we'll get some Kaoruko but they didn't give much Kaoruko action at the end either. I'm really sad to see this manga end like this :( pain. |

| This is why I feel like this is kind of open ending so hear me out: the last panel of MC's aunt and him having their 3 months of their life was the absolute fucking saddest panel I have ever seen in my entire life. Like I dunno prolly because there's no way in hell it would be taken to vol.17 because reasons or whatever bylaws about depiction of incest but ehhh whatever, but damn that was sad. I was hoping to at least get a good sex scene but well... or damn even confession was well ehhh whatever, at least that one cursed panel showed their feelings I guess? Now MC not being afraid of woman... well... I guess it's nice and all. MC being a researcher, I think to follow with his aunt is also because he wants to met him I think or not. Because aunt moved to different uni I think... I dunno WHERE so they did separate I think... prolly... I'll wrap it up here too... it was kinda monkaS that MC's mother conceived him when she's 19 while MC's aunt is 10 yo. Now then later on her name Lady Murasaki, who in the original tale raised Genji to be lover, whilst ironically; that in this timeline Lady Murasaki didnt raised Genji (MC) to be his lover but actually fell in love with MC because... .reason... now this I will try to go just pure shitpost.... I think, the reason why MC's aunt kinda did like MC is because she liked her brother which actually.... ummmmm rejected her, so in this sense.... she kinda saw that kind of feeling but well... ehhh I dunno.... I guess I'm going too far here, prolly thus we dont see.... them confessing to each other, but had incentous relationship? But I guess... this is kinda shoving PURE SEMANTIC at this point... I feel bad for Asahi. She could have also have her route have a follow up but well.. reasons. |
| welp that was pretty fun. Seeing this virgin boy more feminine than your mom turn into an absolute gigachad. Really enjoyed it lol. The later arcs happen pretty fast though and the last 2 were just rushed af. Pretty bummed that nothing really happened with Asahi. Same with Chuujou. Kaoruko's a pretty scary woman if you think about it. She really planned this ever since the dude was a baby lmao. And to think that she's still a virgin all this while. I'm not sure if this got cancelled or the author just decided to end it but it definitely could've ended a lot better. I couldn't imagine following this for 8 years just to get a non-conclusive ending. I do understand that its basically saying this is only the beginning but it would be nice if it strayed away from Genji no Kimi in that aspect. overall i thought its pretty good. underwhelming end but enjoyed it nonetheless. |
 |
| hmm what an unsatisfying ending. |
| I wrote a long text about how underwhelming and rushed the ending was but it was accidentely deleted. A lot of plotlines felt unfinished (Asahi, Tsukasa, Ruri, Nagiko, Otome). So to sum up, let's just say the manga would need another 100 or so chapters to end everything in satisfying manner. I was prepared to rate this manga a lot better as I enjoyed it a lot but then chapter 342 came and everything crumbled to pieces. Such a shame. And it was so good before. 6/10 |
| Congratulations for the milk Terumi. ¯\_(γ)_/¯ |
