I never really cared who Mao ends up with tbh. I know season 2 will not finish the anime since there is too much material to adapt. If they do ever finish the anime it should be true to the source material.

They won´t even get close to the ending, so if they decide to kill the series in this season they will go original.

It´s funny how I havent seen a single good opinion of the ending. People really disliked it.

Why do people care whether Mao ends up with Emilia or not? I actually hate her so I am glad that it ended like this. I care about the plot ... the meat. As long as the plot was concluded well then I am fine with it. The after-story doesn’t matter even if everyone dies it doesn’t matter anymore.

People always complain if the MC didn’t end up with whom they want ...

I hope so but i don't think it would
(And i think s2 would rrach the end but if we're talking about making a full adaptation.....i think it wont change)

I was really shocked at the ending since almost the whole ln it was signaled to Emilia that's why i wasnt satisfied with who mao ended up with.

Did you actually read the LN? Because its not really an issue with the ship. The whole plot was constructed (from volume 4 onwards) in a certain direction, but the ending suddenly does a 180° and all the build up they did goes to hell, and thats why everyones hates it. The ending (and the whole "solution" to the issue) makes no sense as well.

Keep the original ending. Or at least get a new one by consulting and getting the approval of the original creator.
I don't care if it's better. I want the story to be as truthful to the original as it can be.

Haven’t finished volume 21 yet but I read summaries of the ending. Even if it was that bad doesn’t make the other 20 volumes bad. What happened to Mao was expected to be honest — trying not to mention spoilers. Still changing the ending doesn’t mean we will get a better ending.

In one breath, anime fans are raging about them changing Promised Neverland.
In another, they're asking for the studio to change the source material's ending for DiaPT.

If they adapt the ending.
Better not to watch it then, it will just make you mad instead of enjoying.

I hope we have an original anime ending.

either change who he ends up with or change the build up towards the manga ending.

the issue tbh is not that Chiho won, rather its the fact that throughout the course of the series Emi and the MC are built up only for the author to cuck everyone of a climax from the build up he made.

Every person that I knew said that this is fucked because for all the hints and the developments that the author has made between Maou and Emi, suddently Maou ended up with an useless loli with big bobs. I doubt it was the same feeling when you read the manga that FMC has child with MC but then he married someone else -> Domestic no kanojo :)

the extent to which I do not care how things resolve romantically cannot be overstated. all I care about regarding season 2 is: is it funny and interesting like the original was? if it's funny I'll accept any plot developments.

people get weirdly invested in the "wrong" waifu winning, it's extremely lame and pathetic, and I judge you.

It doesn't matter who Alas=Ramus acknowledges. Guilt-tripping Maou into marrying Emi? What a sad excuse for a "romantic" ending. If that's the best you can come up with to make Maou X Emi work in your mind, then good luck. Having your child force you to marry someone you're not in love with, yikes.... ^^'

Fact of the matter is, it's Maou X Chiho at the end.


OPs Question:
No, I don't think the ending should be changed, it's one of the best things about the story. Pretty much the entire second half of the story, Maou's just a passive, boring sack of nothing. He's not assertive, he's not cunning, he's just bland. No comparison to Maou at the start and Maou from the Prequel.

I was actually scared that by the end Wagahara would make a Maou X Emi out of nowhere due to public pressure, even though Maou X Chiho made way more sense. So I'm glad that he stuck to his guns, even though the series dropped a bit in entertainment after the first few volumes. :)


Also "lol" to all the people calling this NTR. It's not, they were never even together.

If the author announces that they are going to adapt the original ending of LN, he can expect to not get any enough money for a new season lol.
He will only witness fans boycotting him for it.

It indeed was not an NTR but more like an betrayal for the fans and for alas ramus lol.
They both promised to her to be together forever, so I'm not sure how it would be after maou marries chiho, and I can also assure that maou won't make anything that would make alas ramus extremely sad since he already acknowledged himself as the father of alas ramus.
Anyway, for the chiho x maou ending, there was no real romantic development between chiho and maou in the LN. It was just chiho's one sided love until the author magically made the story make a 180° turn and somehow make maou instantly love her. The only real development was present in V20, which revolved around emi and maou honestly.
yes.

I disagree there. The romantic development between Maou and Chiho had been going on from pretty early on in the series. Emi x Maou shippers have ignored it for quite some time, but that's on them (and maybe to some degree on their bias). So no, I don't see any "betrayal" of the fans or Alas=Ramus. Maou and Emi are there for Alas=Ramus but they're not a couple and that's perfectly fine.

I'm not saying that there were no scenes hinting at Maou x Emi, not at all, but Chiho was, time and time again, singled out to be the person that held the most special place in Maou's heart (yes, in the LN). The author went out of his way to point in that direction again and again. While Maou x Suzuno would have been my personal favorite ship (the one I might be biased towards), I always considered it plainly obvious that Chiho is the one Maou has special feelings for (which I'm perfectly fine with because it was done in a nice way imo).

Welcome to the anime fandom...when they don't get the ending, ship or general conclusion they want...death threats ahoy! Its sad but hey, some people just commit their lives and money to it.

Nah dude, let me just explain some things.

Not all Emi stan hates Chiho. They aren't agrees with how the author create and developed her. Like some people said above, it's not about who Maou ended up with, Chiho really lacks about her interactions with Maou.

Imagine how the author creates Maou and Emi interactions from early volumes and he ended up with girl who has a little of interactions πŸ’€πŸ’€πŸ’€

Also, don't worry. The author another works aren't famous nor even selling well.

And about death threats, mostly are comes from Japanese fans. I don't think the author will bother himself to translate nor even read the death threats since he's still brave enough to create another works 🀣🀣🀣
