| THIS IS A MANGA ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS ANYTHING BEYOND THIS CHAPTER. ---------------------------------------- Nooo I don't want it to end... T_T Chapter wise, this was a great read, and concluded the manga in a very gentle yet powerful way. Akari's little speech to herself was something of indescribable beauty; I'm actually at a loss for words. Older Akari's looks a lot more mature and beautiful, but still the cute and... well, "Akari" Akari that we know. ^^ The chapter also threw in a little twist, regarding Akari's penpal. o_o Manga wise, along with Aqua, this is the most beautiful, unique, and influential manga I've ever read. Definitely something I'll never forget. Many thanks to Amano Kazue for writing this, the scanners, and of course, the memorable and inspiring characters of Aria. *bows* In the words of Akari: Steki... |

| fuck this shit....when I finished Origination, I was left with a deep emotional despair because I knew I would never see more Aria again...and now that I read this final chapter of the manga, those feelings have returned to me...and I dont like it ;A; Oh god older Akari looks so incredibly gorgeous!! Why did it have to end ;A; a 10/10 as an anime and now a 10/10 as a manga...this is truly the most beautiful series I know |
| Oh this last chapter brings backs so bittersweet memories ;_; |
 |
| Maybe the best last chapter ever... It was a perfect conclusion. I was in tears many times, especially during the trip with Postman-san. I laughed too, especially with Akitsuki and Alice pages. Also, I'm satisfied with the explanation of the penpals. I think it means that what Akari wrote is a message to everybody, including us the readers. And older Akari is really gorgeous as already said. The most beautiful undine in my opinion ! (*_*) Big thanks to ACS for their perfect job, and for Kozue Amano for this timeless masterpiece ! =D |
| This was so beautiful. It brought tears to my eyes. And that look in Akari is identical to Alicia at the end. So sweet. I wish I lived in Aqua T_T |
| あらあら。。。＾＾ |

 |
| A very heartwarming end to a beautiful masterpiece! Kozue Amano is a genius in making simple things become wonderful! Love it so much! A perfect 10 for me, no doubt! Both the anime and the manga! I'm gonna miss all the characters for it seemed that they became a part of me and Akari is someone I truly admired! In the end, she is a wonderful and beautiful undine! Thanks for making this manga and scanlating it for the fans.. Banzai! a manga that gives a lesson in life and how we must appreciate its beauty.. Bravo! |
 |
| That was a really good ending and great series overall. Can't help but compare it to YKK. I haven't watched the anime yet, but I wonder how it compares to the manga. |
| Who was Akari's pen pal exactly? They showed Cait Sith using the computer too...is it him, i wonder? It was an amazing manga :) I will miss it~ |

| This manga needs to be higher up on the overall ranking. Personal favorite manga. |
| After completed the Anime, I began to read this. I was planning to read the 12 volumes in a week. So I finished it in less than a day. It's a wonderful manga, and maybe the best end I've ever read. I prefer the end of the manga better than the end of the anime, Cait Sith <3 |
 |
| Yeah, it is a great alternative return to the series. A few nice non-animated chapters too (how the hell did they leave out the horoscope chapter?) and with the choro club ost it gives off a strong feeling. |
| Amazing, never wanted it to end. Loved every chapter, nothing I disliked whatsoever. I did like how in the anime, Akari's penpal is Ai. But in the manga without Ai knowing who Akari is and (I'm assuming) not knowing any of Aria company's past would be a lot like Akari when she first joined. So the cycle would repeat itself. The feelings all rushed into me these last few chapters, it was like experiencing the same feels I got in the anime x2. Couldn't get enough of it, something I'm deffintly going to reread in the future. 11/10 |
 |
| I'm in love. I will wait a bit with watching the anime, because I'm afraid I might not love it as much as the manga if I start immediately. I sure will purchase this manga as soon as I can, because it's something I would want to read over and over again. Zenryaku, how are you? :) |
 |
| This was beautiful and I am so glad I picked this series up. Easily a 10/10 manga and the ending was perfect. |
| After watching the first Anime season, and one Aria Anime special I finally started with reading Aqua and then Aria. I didn't thought it would be this good to be honest. Until now there was no other Manga I read (not that I read that many Manga until now but still). It reminds me of Usagi Drop (the Anime though, I haven't read the Manga yet - and am not really sure if I even should read it to be honest...), Aria made me cry -because of how I was moved by it, Aria made me laugh -because of how well write it is (at least in my opinions -opinions may differ I am aware of that), Aria brought back a good mood to me in times when I needed one. Thank you very much for producing such a great Manga Kozue Amano! |
The dearer you hold a memory the more painful it becomes. |
| Athena became an opera singer! Akatsuki visits Akari because he has a crush on her! Al grew a little taller! Aika has become so dependable! Alicia's smile at the end! (I wish we got to see her husband, but that would probably make me cry more.) And Cait Sith was her Penpal all along! This was a great manga! An amazing manga! I regret not reading it years ago, but I'm so glad I've read it now! |
| One of the most beautiful mangas I've read. Aria surprisingly did a great job of progressing the plot. I am still very sad that I've finished reading but I can't wait to watch the anime :) |
   |
| The best possible conclusion to this manga, I am blown away |
| Sci-Fi Enthusiast |
| The person who she was writing the emails to was YOU. |
| Oh I had to add it in my favs. A full rendition of Aqua's tales in full perspective. Truly a masterpiece. Thank you Amano-sensei! |
 |
| A delightful read. I did feel like it was a bit boring at first, but honestly, reading the manga gives you a lot of appreciation for why it is the way it is. The slow pace is what makes this manga so great and it took me a while to really understand that. |
| I knew I was going to like this manga , I’m a huge fan of slice of life manga but I was not expecting to be bawling my eyes out by the end of it lol … |
